No7 Pure Retinol Hand Cream 75ml

Product Information

Some No 7 skin care products contain beneficial ingredients like retinol, vitamin C, and Matrixyl 3000 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.

Bottom Line: If you’re looking for a product to temporarily disguise crow’s feet, this No 7 eye cream is a good option.

There are also low concentrations of hibiscus extract, sodium hyaluronate, and Matrixyl 3000 in this serum.

Our 0.3% Retinol Complex consists of the perfect blend of 0.3% retinol for the proven sweet-spot to deliver effective results with reduced sensitivity*. In this ground-breaking formula, our complex is combined with MATRIXYL 3000 Plus™ for 360° results to combat ageing. Whether you’re looking to reduce key signs of ageing, soothe dry skin or boost your radiance, the No7 skincare range has it all.Dot around eyes and gently blend around their contours. If sensitivity occurs, reduce use to every other night and build up to nightly use. BIG MISTAKE! After first day I got a sore dry spot on my upper lip but did not connect it to the serum. It got worse over couple of days, burning & tingling- I even thought I’d somehow got a cold sore (never had one in my life) Our main problem with this product is the marketing. You may have noticed that while No7 deduced that 0.3 per cent was the ideal retinol concentration, the product name contains the claim “1.5 per cent”. This percentage is actually made up of a combination of ingredients: retinol, Matrixyl 3000+ and bisabolol. A one per cent retinol is the maximum that can be sold over the counter in the UK, so this product couldn’t be 1.5 per cent concentration, but many consumers won’t be aware of that fact. The reality is that at 0.3 per cent, this is a gentle, entry-level retinol. This No 7 eye cream has a silky texture that will glide on easily, helping the skin around your eyes to feel smooth and moisturized while also possibly disguising signs of aging like crow’s feet.

The light, fast-absorbing formula leaves hands rejuvenated and renewed without feeling greasy or slipperyThe formula includes a 1.5% “retinol complex” which consists of 0.3% pure retinol, 1% retinol optimizer, and 0.2% retinol soother. This No 7 serum contains ingredients that provide benefits to your skin, such as vitamin C and gluconolactone. 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. 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.
