Boots No7 feedback thread – win a No7 skincare hamper worth £100 NOW CLOSED

About 3 weeks into it and really the same comments are true - it's easily applied, goes into the skin well & is not at all greasy. The main area that appears to have improved is my neck which is nice. My face feels good rather than looks different. Maybe this will change in the next week or so.

Like others, I'm not sure that the serum will last much beyond the 4 weeks.

I've been using the serums for a fortnight now. I was pleased there were different colours for day and night. I must admit I don't usually use a night cream but I probably will now I've developed the habit! My skin feels soft and the frown lines on my forehead have almost disappeared - I've still had reason to frown, so I think it's the serums working! Sometimes I think the creases under my eyes are fading, but it might be wishful thinking. Promising for half way through the test!

I really like the idea of having different colour tubes for the day and night serums. I think they both smell rather nice and I don't find them overpowering at all. I am finding them very easy to apply, quickly absorbed too.

Two weeks into the trial I can notice a definite improvement to the fine lines which have started to appear around my mouth and eyes over the past 12 months.

Like the feel of this product. Really hope it works!
Using sparingly to make it last.

on week 2, skin feels soft, can see slight improvement particularly neck area (this area I did not bother with much) oh it still has its lines but it is looking 'more moisturised'.

One week into the trial, I am enjoying using it, great product. I'm even beginning to think that £25 every 6 weeks or so is not bad VFM (value for money).

It's too soon to say whether it is making a difference, however I was told randomly at work by someone yesterday that my skin is looking good .

I am on my third week now and definitely notice a difference in the feel of my skin although I haven't notices much difference in the lines. My skin tone is more even too.

However, I am still, mostly, only using the day cream as I have never got into a routine of cleansing and moisturising at night. I wear little make-up, rarely refresh it during the day and there is, invariably, nothing left by bedtime so I don't bother.

On that basis I wouldn't but the set but I would buy the day serum on it's own.

I was using a much more expensive serum before. This one feels nicer, goes on easier and I think the skin does look a bit better and brighter and the fine wrinkles are less!
Considering the worries of the last couple of weeks with family, overwork and Greatnan, my skin is looking remarkably good!
In fact if I combine it with a primer, a bit of lipstick is all the makeup I need.
In fact, this week I was complimented by a much younger woman (I'm almost 69) on how nice my skin was!
What more could one want.
Yes I would recommend it.

I really didn't get on with it at all. My skin felt tight and occasionally slightly rough, and I stopped using it; I am sometimes complimented on my skin so I shall stick with the stuff that suits me.

There's one comment that won't be used!

I think the main difference I have noticed is that, used in conjunction with the day and night creams, my skin has felt softer and looks a bit brighter. There is no difference in the pigmentation or firmness, but realistically only a face lift would do that. I think if a proper trial was to be conducted Boots should have given instructions on how to use it. What would be the point of trialling it under another brand of moisturiser with different ingredients and supposed actions. I can't help thinking, along with another participant, if this is not a marketing ploy. It has certainly made me buy the day and night creams.

This is the start of week three of using the Restore and Renew serums and I am pleased to report that the initial 'tight' feeling that I experienced on week one with the night serum has disappeared but as yet I can't see any visible difference to my skin. However the day serum has helped enormously to even out my (many) imperfections! I have overall been pleasantly surprised with the product and think it will be going onto my Christmas wish list...hint hint!

Confession - although I've been using the serum for two weeks I haven't had chance to look at others' feedback and feel a bit stupid that I didn't realise it's supposed to be used as well as moisturiser! Duh! Anyway, perhaps it says a lot for the serum that my skin feels great - really smooth - so I can't wait to see what it's going to look like in another week with moisturiser as well!

I was quite surprised at the small size of the tubes - amazed that they've lasted so long really. Think I'll get 4 weeks out of them but definitely not 8. The different colours of the tubes is a bonus - saves searching for the glasses to check which one I'm supposed to be using. I'm not sure about the price - £24 seems quite a lot to pay for a month's supply, on top of day cream, night cream, eye cream, body lotion, hand cream, foot cream.... Takes a lot of effort to look this good!!!

I have only been using mone for about a wek so too soon to see any difference. I agree that it goes on well and feels pleasant. the different colours of tubes are a good idea.

I would like to be able to read the wording on the tubes, though. Their target market are likely to have less than 20/20 vision, and have to take a magnifying glass to it. A printed leaflet inside the box with the same information as on the tube, plus more detailed instructions, would be useful.

Or even using mine.

I have been using this for 2 weeks now. Do love the feel of it and am probably using less moisturiser as a result. Didn't have that many wrinkles to start but the fine lines seems better. At the moment I would only buy it if it was on a special offer

I have been using the serum for 3 weeks now and this is the result so far:

Q1 I find the serum very easy to apply, goes a long way and is non sticky, a
nice smooth feel.

Q2 Lines and wrinkles smoother and slightly less noticeable, skin firmer and
more 'glowing' people have made comments. also a dark 'age' spot on
my cheek has almost faded.

Q3 It is a little too expensive for me to purchase monthly which is a shame.

Q4 Yes I definitely would recommend it and have done to friends.

I've been using the Boots Serum for a few weeks now and am really pleased with a number of things: the ease of application - you don't need very much for it to be applied evenly all over face but my neck seems to want more? I'm pleased with the radiance and effect on wrinkles - especially around the eyes. I haven't noticed very much effect on firmness, but a lot of smoothness and softness. Now the price - I'm sure that's not a lot of money for some and it would put a lot of people off just looking at the size of the tubes! But they are economical because you only need such a small amount, but many would need convincing of that! I love its smell and, yes, I would recommend it to others. I've got lots left so I'll keep on using it and let you know when it's gone!!

I am enjoying using the serums.It is my second week.
I like the feel of the product as I put it on.
I havent noticed any miracles yet but like a previous lady I am recovering from a bad cold and I am not at my best !!
Now I can breathe again I am enjoying the perfume too.

I do like these serums just would feel guilty about spending so much on a face product. Like some previous comments from users, I'm not so much noticing a reduction in lines but my skin does feel smoother and also seems to have more of a glow.
I would recommend to friends of the same age - definitely worth a trial. When the family ask if there's anything I want for Xmas I can always hint about how much I've enjoyed the samples!

Just make sure people use the three for two offer; not sure if you can also use the £5 No7 vouchers that you sometimes get as well [maybe not with the three for two] and also get points, And check which offers are on that day]. Believe me, it all adds up and saves a lot of money.

Even with the after effects of the dreaded shingles and now tonsilitus my skin looks and feels better. Thank your Boots. Tegan, will check that out too.

Have been using the serum under moisturiser for three weeks now, and here are my answers to the questions:
1. Liked the idea of different serums for day and night; both easy to apply and non greasy, though a pea sized amount was not enough to do both face and neck. I shall need to cut off the tops now to squeeze more out, but they won't last another week.
2. Lines and wrinkles are less noticeable to me and my face feels firmer and smoother, and looks not so sallow, even more radiant. I have not received any compliments though! Can't really comment on fragility as I have never thought of this as a problem.
3. I would buy this again if it were on special offer, but £24.95 for just over three weeks' supply is too expensive for me. I will put it on my Christmas wish list.
4. If it came up in conversation I would recommend it, but I would point out the cost too.
I was very pleased to have the chance to sample this serum. Thank you.

Q1: I do not find it much different from the Boots no 7 serum I have been using daytime for a couple of years. But the colour codes are useful but I do not find a night time serum much use as my skin is rather greasy and so too much night cream means a stained pillowcase! I also found the tubes and instructions hard to read. I do not like the perfume in these ones very much.

Q2.
· Lines and wrinkles
· Firmness
· Pigmentation
· Fragility
· Skin’s radiance
No difference to any of these but then I have been using a Boots no 7 serum for ages.

Q3. likely to buy the product again or not? A bit expensive I would personally just buy the day one!

Q4. Serums are a personal choice no I think you need to try yourself and find what suits. I enjoyed the chance to try it and will finish them up and then consider what to buy next. Due to the perfume will probably revert to my old Boots no 7 serum.

I have been using the product for 3 weeks. My skin is soft but there has been no discernible difference in blemishes or firmness. It is easy to use and glides on but needs to be used with regular day/night cream which means it is an added expense. The price is high. I am still of the belief that a good diet, fresh air, sensible alcohol use and no smoking are the keys to healthy skin. What goes on the outside makes little difference.
