firming skin creams
These are for promotional materials for a new skin care line. This word is a bit tricky as I would normally say thickened, densified, compacted, solidified but those don't sound right. They have used firmed elsewhere.
Any ideas?
(If it's obvious, forgive me - I've been having long days.)

Comment: "You were all so helpful, thank you! Suezen's answer covered two places where the term appeared so I used refined and tightened. I think all these terms are rather loosely interchangeable. I just wanted to see if was some word for skin compacting that I had missed! I appreciated all great ideas and links."

This cream is fabulous! It firmed my thighs, tummy, rear and arms. I saw improvement in just a few days, and the results are truly amazing! ...

firmed
Just a guess as well. No doubt you've used this elsewhere in your translation (often tossed around in skin care ads), but if not, it might work.

sorry Elizabeth, I didn't notice you had written that they have used firmed elsewhere. Long, hot days here, too :-)

I think firmed woudl be a good solution in another case, but unfortunately it's already been used in Elizabeth's text. We'll have to keep brainstorming!

toned
Toning seems to be about reducing the amount of space occupied by one's skin!
