For Instant Skin Tightening…Hydrolyzed Soy Protein (actually meant for food but it works well to give instant feeling)….. at 5% would give perfect Serum collarborate with hexapeptide and etc as (long terms anti aging actives)

Try using Pephtight from DSM or pullulan Pephatight has Algae Extract and Pullulan as INCI

You are looking for a good “cosmetic astringent”. “Astringents” are used to get that “tightening” or “tingling” sensation in cosmetic formulas. I’ve never used them myself, but that may help you in finding what you are looking for.

You might also try Witch Hazel Hydrosol and Hydrolysed Wheat Proteins.

Depends of what you are looking for.
If you want something that actually restructures the skin there is amazing research right now with creatine:

I think beiersdorf is adding it to their creams or will or something of the like.
Edit: did a mix up, it is ahava and Nivea that use them (Nivea still belongs to beiersdorf I think)

Straight pullulan in small quantities (0.1%) makes for a nice subtle tightening with a smooth product feel.
