Thank you for pointing this out. I really am seeing the results of firming and line smoothing however I now don't think I want to use this. What ingredient do you think is helping so much so I can research a similar product with hopefully same resutl? Thank you!

Most likely it's the glycolic acid which is helping smooth and firm your skin. The glycolic acid can penetrate the skin easily and when it does that it plumps your skin and boosts hydration so your skin appears smoother and feels firmer, too. You can try looking for a glycolic acid cream, something which contains about 10% glycolic.  @Theresa1121 

ETA- 

I'm not dismissing the peptide contained in the product but there's so little of it in there that it makes me wonder just how effective it might be. If anything the peptide would add to providing hydration...peptides in general do that among other things. They hold water on the skin. Firming effects of most peptides usually takes months not weeks so I doubt it could be that which you are seeing.

Excellent reply from Sillie, just follow her advice, tons of glycolic creams out there. 

I have become aware of lots of fancy names given to plain old pertro or mineral oil and now I am always on the lookout for them. When i now read ingredient decks they are definite red flags to me. Neurtogena is one brand that does this a lot, uses fancy names for petro and mineral oil, even in their Water moisturizer.
