In this ground-breaking formula, our complex is combined with MATRIXYL 3000 Plus™ for 360° results to combat ageing. 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? 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).

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. 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. Our unique and powerful formulations of pure retinol and MATRIXYL 3000 Plus™ will help to transform your skin’s appearance. What’s changed about our Retinol offering? No7 Pure Retinol Night Repair Cream contains pure retinol to help accelerate surface skin renewal.

It works to boost collagen production and plump skin, improving tone and texture while smoothing out wrinkles, leaving skin looking and feeling firmer, younger, smoother and hydrated.Collagen Peptide-Based Technology: MATRIXYL 3000 PLUS, No7's next generation of age-defying complex 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. Sara is probably right in thinking that you might be allergic to something in your Lift and Luminate cream. 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.

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.

Myth-busting Retinol Bottom Line: The No 7 Retinol serum combines 0.3% pure retinol with the peptide complex Matrixyl 3000, which both works to reduce the appearance of lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and more.We recommend building up to the suggested usage, as you can then gradually increase the frequency to as much as your skin can tolerate. The best results will be achieved if you use the products in the No7 Pure Retinol range at their suggested frequency, but this might be too much depending on the sensitivity of your skin. The formula includes a 1.5% “retinol complex” which consists of 0.3% pure retinol, 1% retinol optimizer, and 0.2% retinol soother.
