No7 Pure Retinol Hand Cream 75ml

Product Information

Boots has launched its long-awaited range of No7 beauty advent calendars ahead of Christmas, with four luxury collections for shoppers to choose from.

Formulated with skin nourishing ingredients and antioxidants. It contains our unique Double Defence technology, which combines with the protective power of SPF 15 and unbeatable 5* UVA to give your skin No7's most advanced daily protection from the sun's UV rays, the biggest cause of future skin ageing. Bottom Line: No 7 Line Correcting Booster Serum contains just one ingredient that provides anti-aging benefits, and that’s the peptide complex Matrixyl 3000. of women agreed our 0.3% Retinol Night Concentrate gave great results, whilst being gentle on their skin*. Myth-busting RetinolSimilar to the Lift and Luminate Serum, the Night Cream features vitamin C as a key ingredient, but this time it’s the water-soluble derivative ascorbyl glucoside. After being absorbed into the skin, ascorbyl glucoside is converted to ascorbic acid (the active form of vitamin C) to provide benefits like improving uneven skin tone, fading dark spots, and increasing skin firmness. Ascorbyl glucoside is considered to be more stable than the traditional form of vitamin C, L-ascorbic acid, but research also suggests it may not increase the vitamin C content of the skin as readily.

Moving forwards with the product’s rebrand, we wanted the percentage to call out solely the amount of pure retinol, hence the new 0.3% in the name – and we’ve also moved forward with a stronger 1% concentration for those who are used to using retinol in their regime. But more on that later… The benefits of using Retinol

Data from an FDA study indicate that retinyl palmitate, when applied to the skin in the presence of sunlight, may increase your sensitivity to the sun, so make sure you use this at night and apply your sunscreen during the day. But ultimately, this is a case of you get what you pay for, and while we did see results with No7’s concentrate, with improvement in skin texture and some fine line reduction, the Dr Dennis Gross serum produced a far more noticeable change in both areas. Sara is probably right in thinking that you might be allergic to something in your Lift and Luminate cream. There are also low concentrations of hibiscus extract, sodium hyaluronate, and Matrixyl 3000 in this serum. Retinol Optimiser - an intelligent slow-release oil encapsulation system for enhanced delivery of pure retinol.

Yes, No 7 is cruelty-free. According to the company, “We do not conduct animal testing on our products, or on ingredients used in our products, nor do we commission animal testing on our products or on ingredients used in our products.” Is No 7 Vegan? Bottom Line: A No 7 serum that feels nice and promotes soft skin, but probably won’t do much in terms of anti-aging effects. Retinyl palmitate is an ingredient composed of palmitic acid and retinol (Vitamin A). After being absorbed into the skin, it’s converted to retinol and should provide anti-aging benefits. As a guide, it normally takes around 4 weeks for your skin to be comfortable with nightly use (6 weeks if you’re using our 1% Retinol Night Concentrate). Listen to your skin, though – there’s no need to rush and you will still get great benefits even if you don’t use retinol every night!

Have been happily using No7 lift & Luminate day cream and restore & renew night cream as I need something richer overnight. Was thrilled with the results over a few months so decided to try the restore & renew serum.

and, it might be worth noting that your Lift and Luminate will last for up to 24 months once opened, so don’t throw it away just yet if you think you could get some use out of it. Including 1.5% in the name of this product is slightly misleading, in our opinion. But the good news is that even 0.3% pure retinol is enough to produce noticeable results. What kind of results can you expect? With the launch of our Pure Retinol range, we’ve renamed our Advanced Retinol 1.5% Complex Night Concentrate in the interests of making sure all of our retinol products are part of one clear, easy-to-shop franchise. It’s now available as Pure Retinol 0.3% Retinol Night Concentrate, along with the addition of a NEW higher strength 1% Retinol Night Concentrate. Another No 7 serum that’s mostly made up of filler ingredients and low concentrations of key ingredients. For example, the highest concentration ingredients in this formula include water, dimethicone (a silicone), glycerin and butylene glycol (humectants), aluminum starch octenylsuccinate, and isononyl isononanoate (emollient). No 7 Restore and Renew Night Cream is a rich night cream that includes emollients, silicones, and retinyl palmitate.
