Product Information

No7 RESTORE & RENEW MULTI ACTION FRAGRANCE FREE DAY CREAM WITH SPF 30 and a jar of product with purple/pink gradient wave-like lines moving behind it FOR FIRMER-FEELING AND SMOOTHER LOOKING SKIN the woman’s face is now right side towards the camera, and she is massaging the cream into her jaw using her fingers 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. 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.

There are also low concentrations of hibiscus extract, sodium hyaluronate, and Matrixyl 3000 in this serum. This No 7 serum contains ingredients that provide benefits to your skin, such as vitamin C and gluconolactone.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. Double Defence Technology and No7 Age-Defying actives reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and helps protect skin against future signs of ageing 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. 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.

This No 7 serum has a formula that’s very similar to the brand’s other serums, with key ingredients like humectants, silicones, emollients, and aluminum starch octenylsuccinate. 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. 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.Hyaluronic Acid - provides lasting hydration and helps skin stretch and flex and reduces skin wrinkles and lines. Hyaluronic acid is also proven to help wounds heal faster and can reduce scarring. 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? Bottom Line: If you’re looking for a product to temporarily disguise crow’s feet, this No 7 eye cream is a good option. As we snooze our skin goes into repair mode, that’s why we have enhanced our No7 Night Cream. Each jar is infused with a new pre-sleep fragrance to help you to feel relaxed and unwind in preparation for sleep - you can say goodnight to fine lines as they appear visibly reduced in just 4 weeks. Hyaluronic Acid - This night cream provides lasting hydration, all night and daily. It helps skin stretch and flex and reduces skin wrinkles and lines. Hyaluronic acid is also proven to help wounds heal faster and can reduce scarring.

Pharmacy product

Notice we said “disguise” signs of aging, not treat or correct. That’s because this eye cream mostly consists of humectants (glycerin, butylene glycol, etc.), silicones (cyclopentasiloxane and cyclohexasiloxane), and denatured alcohol.

Antioxidant Complex and Rice Peptides - this day cream helps protect the skin from environmental stressors. This is another No 7 serum with the anti-aging peptide complex Matrixyl 3000 as the key ingredient to help reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles. The No 7 Lift and Luminate Powder is a finishing powder that sets makeup while also diffusing light and reducing the appearance of pores and fine lines, leaving skin looking visibly smoother.

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. 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.
