Anti-slackening / anti-wrinkle / firming

I think that for a corresponding English word used in this situation with the prefix "anti", "slackening" could be used. We have "anti-wrinkle" but I think the best alternative here, if these two "anti"'s won't do, would be to use "firming" and forget about the "anti".
Example sentence:

"Clarins Body Firming Cream minimises the appearance of slackened skin and tightens and tones surface layers. Designed for use on the body, this rich regenerating cream moisturises at the same time as tautening skin, for a sleeker, smoother silhouette."

anti-sagging

I'd say. This, or 'breast firming'. :)

agree Sonia Hill : "sagging" is definitely the right term when talking about breasts. I might turn it round and say "helps prevent sagging over time".

Toning

We usually refer to it in the positive sense.

Toning/ firming cream sounds ok

Thanks Giulia! :)
agree Glenda Janssen : I definitely see firming all the time. Toning tends to refer to muscles, rather than skin unless it is meant as "conditioning."
