Pepha Tight Serum Booster is a 0.5-ounce marine-derived firming serum booster formulated from Pullulan and marine algae to deliver an immediate film-forming lift and longer-term support for skin elasticity.

If you struggle with mild sagging, fine lines, or rapid moisture loss, this serum booster helps by forming a lightweight, tightening film on the skin's surface while acting as a humectant and barrier to reduce moisture loss. Add at a recommended concentration of 1-5% to your favorite serum, lotion, or cream for instant tightening effects and cumulative improvement with regular use.

  • Recommended usage: 1-5% concentration for serums and creams
  • 0.5-ounce blue glass dropper bottle to protect stability and light-sensitive actives
  • Contains Pullulan and marine algae, a collagen-like composition for improved elasticity
  • Immediate film-forming lift plus humectant action to support barrier function
  • Compatible with DIY serum boosters and ready-made formulas for customized anti-aging routines

Unlike heavier occlusive creams that mask slackness, this booster creates a breathable tightening film and can be blended into existing products to boost firming performance without reformulating. Compared to single-ingredient humectants, Pepha Tight combines barrier support with lift and collagen-like nourishment.

Paraben-free, vegan, and cruelty-free store packaging uses blue glass, and we recommend refrigeration after opening for potency. Found in select designer formulations and designed for clinical-strength DIY customization, this ingredient is recommended for targeted firming and elasticity support.

Questions & Answers

Have a Question?

We answer by email, and helpful questions may be added to this page.

QCan it be used with Matrixyl 3000, Matrixyl and/or copper peptides regenerating serum?
A
Yes, you can use Pepha Tight with Matrixyl 3000 and Copper Peptide. They all can be added to the Rejuvenate Anti-aging Serum Base.
QCan I use the Progeline, Relistase and Pepha Tight all at the same time? What percentage for each should I use if I want to use it twice daily for face and body. I'll be mixing all the ingredients with Cerave moisturizer lotion.
A
Yes, you can use multipe serum boosters in your base including the Firming Serum Booster with Progeline, Relistase, and Pepha Tight.

You can use any moisturizer as your base including Cerave. For the best results, use a combination of 2% Firming Serum Booster with Progeline, 4% Relistase, and 5% Pepha Tight.

The manufactores recommendations for all boosters can be found directly on the product page.

You can also check out more information about adding serum boosters here.
QHi, is this the full list of ingredients: INCI: Algae Extract (and) Pullulan? Or is it in a base with any other preservatives or anything else? Thanks
A
All ingredients for the Serum Boosters are listed directly on the label and/or on the website listing. For Pepha Tight, the ingredient list is Algae (and) Pullulan. This version, however, is no longer being made as the manufacture discontinued that version. This month, the INCI will update to the new version. We never add any additional preservatives or ingredients to the Serum Boosters.
QHi. I use pepha tight in hyaluronic acid and apply to neck and face after getting my face wet with a bit of water. I use 1-2 drops for the whole area. Should I be using more to get more effect? Or is that enough? Also, it says to add 1-5%, but I noticed a product on here says 20% pepha tight. So I was wondering, if I want more of an effect, would I just add a larger percentage of pepha tight or just use more of the product I made. I did about a 3% add. I definitely notice a difference with it as is. Just wondering if I'm using enough to maximize it. Thanks!
A
We recommend using a 1-5% concentration of Pepha Tight. Using a 5% concentration twice a day will give you the best results.
QCan you explain better exactly how to make a 5% concentration? I just had neck and face lifts plus eyes and upper lip. What products will best help me prolong my results? Which serum should I mix this into. I’m almost 50. I guess right now I can pass for mid thirties? How do I know all marine algae’s are equal in their skin tightening. Which ones do you use and why?
A
The Pepha Tight Serum Booster comes with an instructional brochure and chart. The chart shows recalculated amounts so that it is easy to find the correct amount to add. If you had a 1-ounce base, then you would add 45 drops of Pepha Tight. This is a great peptide to help firm the neck and jawline. You can add it to any one of our anti-aging serums for an added boost. 

For more information on Pepha Tight, microalgae from Nannochloropsis Oculata Extract, read the article found in our ingredient glossary.
QAs a DIY, how many drops of Pepha Tight do I add to a 1.5 oz bottle of eye cream I already have?
A
For a 1% concentration, you would add 13.5 drops.
For a 5% concentration, add 67 drops or 1/2 teaspoon plus 17 drops. 50 drops are equaled to 1/2 teaspoon.
