No7 Pure Retinol Hand Cream 75ml

Product Information

With the launch of our Pure Retinol range, we’ve renamed our Advanced Retinol 1.5% Complex Night Concentrate in the interests of making sure all of our retinol products are part of one clear, easy-to-shop franchise. It’s now available as Pure Retinol 0.3% Retinol Night Concentrate, along with the addition of a NEW higher strength 1% Retinol Night Concentrate. 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.

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. It’s only available in two shades: light and medium.Moving forwards with the product’s rebrand, we wanted the percentage to call out solely the amount of pure retinol, hence the new 0.3% in the name – and we’ve also moved forward with a stronger 1% concentration for those who are used to using retinol in their regime. But more on that later… The benefits of using Retinol No 7 Lift and Luminate Serum includes the vitamin C derivative 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid as one key ingredient. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that protects your skin from environmental free radical damage. Vitamin C also helps fade dark spots, evens out skin tone, and increases radiance. We also treat our community members to special offers, promotions, and adverts from us and our partners. Pure Retinol Hand Cream is dermatologically tested & formulated to harness the power of pure retinol and minimise irritation. This rich, hydrating and fast absorbing No7 hand cream helps protect against dryness, delivering 8 hours of hydration.

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.

We got our hands on a tube of the much-anticipated new product, and put it to a difficult test: a direct comparison with our long-time go-to in retinols, Dr Dennis Gross’s “ferulic + retinol wrinkle overnight serum,” which tops our round-up of best retinol products. The other star ingredient named alongside retinol in this product is ferulic acid, which is a perfect companion. Ferulic acid is an antioxidant, which helps to slow the skin’s ageing by protecting it from environmental damage, meaning this product offers prevention as well as “cure”. It also has a stabilising effect on ingredients such as vitamin C and vitamin A (eg retinol) meaning it helps the formula stay effective for longer inside the bottle. 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. With continued use our lightening complex helps to fade appearance of dark spots and help prevent new ones forming, while our skin firming pro-retinol complex works to help restore and maintain supple feeling skin. Formulated with Pro-Vitamin B5 for healthy nails and cuticles. There are also low concentrations of hibiscus extract, sodium hyaluronate, and Matrixyl 3000 in this serum.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? 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. of women saw even better results when adding No7 Pure Retinol 0.3% Retinol Night Concentrate (to be used as step 1) & No7 Pure Retinol Night Repair Cream (to be used as step 2) to their regime.
