No7 Lift and Luminate Triple Action Day Cream SPF15
The No7 Lift and Luminate Day Cream is proven to deliver a noticeably firmer feeling and visibly smoother-looking skin on the face and neck. Skin is moisturised, wrinkles appear visibly reduced, and skin tone looks more even.
According to Boots, the cream provides SPF protection against the number one cause of skin ageing, helping it to look younger for longer. “After two weeks skin looks younger and by four weeks lines and wrinkles appear visibly reduced,” the store adds.
On Boots’ website, the cream has a four stars out of five rating. One reviewer said: “So far I seem to notice my face feels tighter and less dry. I haven’t even used half the jar yet.” A second put: “Been using this for a few years now and I love it. My skin always feels soft and well nourished without being oily. Give the skin a lovely natural healthy glow too.”
A third wrote: “Absolutely the best. Love this stuff and been using it for years.” And a fourth claimed: “Lovely product. Glides on easy. Lovely cream texture. Gives me a healthy glow – people have commented on how good my skin is looking. Thoroughly recommends this product.”
However, one customer said: “I didn’t like this much at all It was very drying on my skin.” Another added: “Unfortunately it had a reaction with my skin and brought me out in spots. Very disappointed.”
No7 Lift and Luminate Triple Action Night Cream
The No7 night creamincluded in the collection is said to help nourish and restore skin’s moisture while you sleep. The “supercharged” formula has the same technology as Boots’ Triple Action Serum to target key signs of ageing.
Boots says: “In two weeks, wrinkles are reduced, skin appears lifted and firmed, and our unique lightening complex helps to fade stubborn pigmentation and dark spots for more even skin tone. After three weeks, you will see rested, more radiant, healthy-looking skin.”
Shoppers have rated the cream 4.4 stars out of five. One reviewer said: “So far I seem to notice my face feels tighter and less dry. I haven’t even used half the jar yet.” A second put: “Love this cream , only been using for a week and my skin every morning has a lovely glow to it.” A third added: “Absolutely the best. Love this stuff and been using it for years.”
However, one displeased customer wrote: “I recently purchased this night cream for my dry skin. After using it for 4 days my skin broke out in a horrible rash.”
No7 Lift and Luminate Triple Action Eye Cream
The eye cream is designed to moisturise, restore and maintain hydration. It also reduces dark circles, puffiness under the eyes, as well as signs of fatigue, and brightens and illuminates.
Customers have given an overall score of 4.2 stars out of five so far. One person said: “The cream itself feels very high end and has a light pleasant scent. The packaging and container also feel like more of a high end product than something you’d find at a pharmacy store.”
A second said: “I thought this cream provided lots of hydration to my skin and I woke up looking glowy. Over the course of four weeks, I have noticed improvements in my dry skin on my face in the appearance of it. Not as good of improvement in my fine lines and wrinkles as I had hoped, but maybe with continued use, it will help even further.”
No7 Lift and Luminate Triple Action Serum
With 3x the concentration of key No7 booster serum age-defying actives, this fast absorbing, non-greasy formula works to leave skin feeling “firmer, lifted and visibly brighter looking, for a luminous and healthy-looking glow”. According to the product’s description, the serum has been “clinically proven to visibly reduce the appearance of wrinkles, leaving skin feeling noticeably firmer.”
In the reviews, one shopper said: “It is easily absorbed, and keeps me young. I recommend.” A second added: “You can see improvement within 2 weeks of using it.”
A third called Rose wrote: “A fantastic product, keeps your skin soft and gives you a glowing look.” Helen said: “I was super impressed with this serum, my skin felt tighter and healthier.”
But another claimed: “This leaves a weird film on the skin which rubs off. Leaving you feeling like a hideous zombie with skin flaking off!”
No7 Pure Retinol 0.3% Night Concentrate
Boots says: ” No7 0.3% Pure Retinol Night Concentrate is created with a combination of two of the most powerful age-defying technologies, Matrixyl 3000+ and 0.3% Pure Retinol. Our next generation Retinol is expertly formulated to harness the power of retinol, giving great results whilst minimising irritation.”
With this product, limit initial use to once or twice a week on non-consecutive nights, gradually increasing frequency to every other night, then every night as tolerated. As a guide, it will normally take at least four weeks to reach nightly use.
In the reviews, one shopper said: “Makes me feel less wrinkly and smooth supple skin. Have used since it came out wouldn’t be without it.” A second put: “Great results from this product. I could see the difference almost straight away, had good comments on my completion from friends.”
But another wrote: “I’ve used retinol products for about 12 months on and off with good results, but this product has left my skin red and burned every time I’ve tried to use it, three times over several weeks, so it’s gone in the bin.”
