No7 Lift & Luminate Triple Action Day Cream SPF 15 50ml

Product Information

Double Defence technology. This formula helps protect against the damaging effects of environmental stressors, such as free radicals generated by sun exposure.

The No7 Lift & Luminate range consists of 4 Triple Action products which have been formulated to work #BetterTogether. The Eye Cream, Serum, Day Cream and Night Cream have been developed to restore your skin’s youthful appearance while supporting collagen production. The moisturizer also has a strong floral fragrance, which makes using it each morning feel like a treat, but some may find it overpowering. As if that wasn’t enough, research suggests that when vitamin C is applied to the skin, it significantly reverses aging-related structural changes by influencing collagen and elastin synthesis. Although, as our in-house biochemist, Elle MacLeman points out, most of the research on vitamin C’s benefits comes from the ingredient L-ascorbic acid. Matrikines are peptides that regulate cell activities through cell signaling. The two matrikines in Matrixyl 3000 work synergistically to restore and maintain the skin’s youthful appearance by signaling to cells to produce more collagen. Powered by No7 Lift & Luminate Triple Action Serum technology, Lift & Luminate Triple Action Foundation instantly gives skin a firmer, brighter-looking appearance. This medium to full coverage foundation is formulated with light reflecting particles and optical blurrers to help uneven pigmentation and texture for an illuminated looking complexion.Your undertone refers to the subtler hue that comes through your skin tone. Unlike skin tone, though, the undertone isn’t affected by sun exposure or skin conditions. It can be warm, neutral or cool. This No 7 serum contains ingredients that provide benefits to your skin, such as vitamin C and gluconolactone. 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. If you’re still unsure about your undertone and want some reassurance before purchasing concealer, visit a beauty counter and request a skin tone test.

Take a look at your bare skin in the mirror in natural light to identify which skin tone you have, ranging from fair, light, medium, medium/rich and rich. You might find that instead of just being one tone, you’re a combination of a few skin tones such as light-medium or medium-rich. If you’re really struggling to work out what type of skin tone you have, ask a friend to help or visit a local beauty counter for assistance. Knowing which skin tone you have will make it a lot easier to determine which foundation colour will suit you most. If using concealer to highlight your facial features, apply a concealer that is 2 shades lighter than your natural skin tone. To contour, sculpt and add definition, apply a concealer that is 1 shade darker than your natural skin tone. The best concealer for your skin tone It doesn’t really give full coverage to begin with, which is why you’ll need to build up to that kind of coverage if that’s what you’re after. As a result, the No7 Stay Perfect foundation could be a good foundation to cover all bases – lighter coverage for the day and fuller coverage at night. It also offers true-to-colour shade, even with SPF15. As for what this translates to on the face, we found it left our skin feeling incredibly soft and hydrated after just one use, and on each subsequent night. No7 has, in many ways, changed the game when it comes to affordable, effective skincare and makeup.Gluconolactone provides anti-aging, antioxidant, and gentle exfoliating benefits without sun sensitivity. In addition, gluconolactone strengthens the skin’s moisture barrier, thereby leaving it more resilient. For example, one review says, “I am so loving this retinol night serum! I have used other retinol serums from other companies and they always break my skin out or cause a rash, but this retinol treatment by No. 7 is the best! I have been using it for 3 months and have seen a great difference in my skin. My wrinkles are reduced and the dark spots from sun damage have improved. I highly recommend it!!”

While we absolutely loved this product, and how it left our skin feeling, we didn’t see a noticeable difference in the appearance of fine lines after a month of use. The protect & perfect night cream is formulated with something called MATRIXYL 3000 plus, otherwise known as the brand’s “next-generation age-defying collagen peptide-based technology,” as well as hyaluronic acid, vitamins A, C and E, and a “pre-sleep fragrance, infused with floral notes of white flowers and zesty bergamot”.

No7 TRIPLE ACTION Day Cream combines the protective power of SPF, our unique Double Defence technology and our No7 age defying actives to reduce 3 key signs of ageing: wrinkles appear visibly reduced, skin feels firmer, and skin tone looks more even. Similar 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.Even though it gave light-to-medium coverage, it covered blemishes well and the shade matched almost exactly. This would be the perfect everyday foundation, it worked well with both primers and gave a lovely natural finish – our skin looked like, well, skin. We did favour the beauty blender application because it gave a smoother-looking complexion, but the difference was marginal.

No 7 Restore and Renew Night Cream is a rich night cream that includes emollients, silicones, and retinyl palmitate. Some No 7 skin care products contain beneficial ingredients like retinol, vitamin C, and Matrixyl 3000 Skin tone refers to the amount of melanin (the pigment that gives skin its colour) in the top layer of your skin. While your natural skin tone is genetic, exposure to the sun can increase melanin production and alter your skin tone temporarily.Despite the fact it gave decent coverage with a single application, we did try building it a little more to see how well it would cope and it performed admirably. It didn’t leave our skin looking caked.
