No7 Pure Retinol Hand Cream 75ml

Product Information

No7 retinol hand cream is specifically designed to protect hands from dryness whilst reducing visible signs of ageing and unwanted pigmentations on hands and nails. This innovative formula strengthens nails and softens cuticles. The cream has a non-greasy consistency which is easily absorbed and helps to moisturise and nourish the skin. The rich formula slows down the ageing process, reduces the production of melanin and minimises the development of hyperpigmentation. These active ingredients strengthen, tone and prevent skin and nails from peeling. There are low concentrations (less than 1%) of beneficial ingredients like vitamin C, hibiscus extract, sodium hyaluronate, ceramides, and Matrixyl 3000. But in such low amounts, we doubt these ingredients will provide much, if any, benefit.

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. No 7 Restore and Renew Night Cream is a rich night cream that includes emollients, silicones, and retinyl palmitate. 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. Bottom Line: No 7 Restore and Renew Night Cream is meant to be an anti-aging night cream, but make sure you are using it safely.Bottom Line: No 7 Lift and Luminate Powder is a finishing powder that uses talc and other natural minerals to absorb excess oil, reduce shine, and create the appearance of visibly smoother skin.

Similar products: We recommend this retinoid based oil serum, it contains Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate, a new generation retinoid. 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.

Fact or fiction

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. 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?

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. The No7 collection includes skincare, makeup, brushes, as well as a line for men. Here’s a breakdown of the top 10 most popular No 7 skin care products. Hydration Hand & Nail Cream is supercharged with technology from our clinically proven serum, which works to reduce the visible signs of skin ageing to reveal younger looking hands in just 2 weeks. Collagen Peptide-based technology - MATRIXYL 3000 PLUS TM, our next generation of age-defying complex. 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.Sara is probably right in thinking that you might be allergic to something in your Lift and Luminate cream. Here at No7, we have over 80 years of skincare expertise under our belt. Our scientists have discovered that for retinol beginners, a 0.3% concentration delivers the perfect balance between efficacy and tolerance, providing remarkable, age-defying results whilst helping to minimise any sensitivity of the skin. For those who are tried and tested pros with skin that’s more used to the effects of retinol, we’ve determined that 1% is the ideal concentration, combined with our Pure Retinol Post-Retinol Soother specially designed to help support skin’s tolerance to retinol. That’s the No7 difference.
