• Reviewed with our R&D cosmetic chemist for accuracy.

For firming, the Okoaskin Dual Action Lifting Cream is the one built for the job: silicate film-formers smooth the look of skin on contact, and IDEALIFT (acetyl dipeptide-1 cetyl ester), a peptide from Sederma (Croda Beauty), works on firmness over weeks, on the face and the neck. In Sederma's own two-month, placebo-controlled study of the peptide, over 80% of participants reported firmer-looking skin. That study is reported in Sederma's IDEALIFT technical bulletin, and the ingredient is listed on Croda Beauty's IDEALIFT page. The Peter Thomas Roth 24K Gold Prism Cream brightens with mica and light-diffusing spheres, a glow that washes off at night, and firming is not its main job.

The difference between Okoaskin and Peter Thomas Roth

The Okoaskin Dual Action Lifting Cream does two jobs, which is what the name means. Sodium silicate and magnesium aluminum silicate form a film that smooths the surface on contact, and IDEALIFT (acetyl dipeptide-1 cetyl ester), a peptide from Sederma (Croda Beauty), works on firmness over weeks, with hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, green tea, and jojoba and calendula oils. In Sederma's own two-month, placebo-controlled study of the peptide, over 80% of participants reported firmer-looking skin. It contains fragrance, so patch test first if your skin is reactive.

The 24K Gold Prism Cream uses mica and shade-sensing spheres to reflect light, so skin looks brighter and smoother as soon as you put it on. It also contains colloidal gold, glycerin, sodium hyaluronate and two sunscreen filters, although it makes no SPF claim.

After a few weeks, Lifting Cream reviewers describe a firmer look along the jaw and neck.

Optical glow is not the same as firming

Light-reflecting particles make skin look brighter and smoother by bouncing light off the surface. That is a real, immediate effect, and it washes off at night.

Firming needs an active that works with steady use. The Okoaskin cream pairs its immediate film with IDEALIFT. In Sederma's own two-month, placebo-controlled study of the peptide, over 80% of participants reported firmer-looking skin.
