Sara is probably right in thinking that you might be allergic to something in your Lift and Luminate cream. Bottom Line: No 7 Lift and Luminate Serum includes vitamin C to firm and brighten skin, but keep in mind that the formula may not have the same benefits as vitamin C is often purported to have. No 7 Lift and Luminate Serum includes the vitamin C derivative 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid as one key ingredient. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that protects your skin from environmental free radical damage. Vitamin C also helps fade dark spots, evens out skin tone, and increases radiance. Adding another step or ingredient into your normal skincare regime can be a little off-putting, especially if you’re not sure how your skin might react. That’s where the experts at No7 come in, to bust some myths surrounding retinol. If you’re nervous about using a new ingredient, we’ve got some answers to put your mind at ease. of women saw even better results when adding No7 Pure Retinol 0.3% Retinol Night Concentrate (to be used as step 1) & No7 Pure Retinol Night Repair Cream (to be used as step 2) to their regime.

Boots, a drugstore chain based in the UK, has been delivering inexpensive yet effective skincare for years. Known more commonly as No. 7 by those located in the U.S. and around the world, this brand offers unique, well researched formulations with an emphasis on slowing and reversing the aging process. Looking at one of these products in particular, the Boots Line-Correcting Booster Serum offers a multi-purpose formula that can be used to target premature aging. But what makes this product unique? Today, we’re diving into all the details to find out. So without further adieu, let’s get started! You may remember huge queues forming outside your local Boots after No7 first launched its famous Protect and Perfect Serum. Ever since then, we’ve been a huge fan of the brand. Why wouldn’t we be? No7 skincare is formulated with good, high quality anti-ageing ingredients, and with over 2,000 Boots stores in the UK, it is easy to get your hands on. With their new Menopause targeted skincare range, No7 are the experts in caring for older skin. And we’re not the only ones who think so. 37,000 people joined the waiting list to buy the No7 Line Correcting Booster Serum when it launched in 2018, just one impressive example of how beloved this reasonably priced range is.

If there is anything we’ve learned from high street beauty in the few last years, it’s that effective skincare doesn’t need to break the bank. Affordable skincare truly exploded in 2022 and we're predicting the same for 2023. Shop shelves lined with a roster of innovative ingredients and high-performance formulas at accessible, inclusive price points. For No7 skincare, which has been a trusted (and fairly costed) beauty brand since its launch in 1935, making skincare excellence accessible to all is nothing new. This No 7 serum contains ingredients that provide benefits to your skin, such as vitamin C and gluconolactone. However, everyone’s skin is different, and your skin may be sensitive to particular ingredients in the formula. Also, as you use soap and water to clean your skin, the rich ingredients in the cream that hydrate and protect the skin (and serve the function of anti-ageing) may have been too much for your skin!

Bottom Line: No 7 Lift and Luminate Powder is a finishing powder that uses talc and other natural minerals to absorb excess oil, reduce shine, and create the appearance of visibly smoother skin. No7 Laboratories LINE CORRECTING Booster Serum is an anti-aging serum designed to be applied directly to lines and wrinkles to deliver fast, visible results. It contains seven times more Matrixyl 3000 than the brand’s other clinically proven serums. Matrixyl 3000 is a combination of the matrikines palmitoyl tripeptide-1 and palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7. Matrikines are messenger peptides that provide anti-aging benefits by signaling to cells to produce more collagen. They also activate certain genes involved in the process of extracellular matrix (ECM) renewal and cell proliferation. The ECM is a complex structural scaffold that supports and surrounds the cells in the skin, and also contains the important proteins collagen and elastin. Destruction and loss of the ECM is a major cause of skin aging. By stimulating the renewal of the ECM, Matrixyl 3000 can help reduce the appearance of fines lines and wrinkles, as well as improve skin texture. Like most skin-care products, though, arguably the most important key with retinol efficacy is to use it consistently.With an accessible price point paired with high-quality ingredients, the No7 products make it easy to incorporate effective, gentler retinol into your skin-care routine as often as you need to, for as long as you want to. Why was it 1.5% before, we hear you ask? In actuality, the amount of pure retinol in the product remained the same previously (0.3%), with the 1.5% referring specifically to the complex which this retinol was blended with. This was made up of the pure retinol itself, our optimiser encapsulation technology which protected the retinol in the formulation, and a soothing ingredient.

According to a publication in the journal Clinical Interventions in Aging , retinol is clinically proven to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve uneven skin tone, restore skin firmness, and unclog pores. Like we mentioned above, vitamin C is an antioxidant that protects against free radicals, helps to fade dark spots, evens out skin tone, increases radiance, and promotes firmer skin. 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? 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.The Boots No7 skin care line debuted in 1935 and positioned itself as a prestigious but affordable collection. It launched with 11 products and the tagline “the modern way to loveliness”.
