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

Update at the end of the 3rd week
I have noticed a slight improvement to the lines around my eyes and my neck seems smoother.
Twice I have had a spot appear on my cheek which disappears within an hour or so, I dont get spots and cant quite understand it.I wonder if my skin is in shock from the extra pampering.!
I am enjoying using this product l but will not be able to continue to pay the price unless I can use vouchers etc and rely on gifts .
It is a shame such a good product made especially for pensioners does not take into account pensioners pockets !!

Skin feels smoother, no difference to pigmentation but overall skin feels much better. Goes onto skin smoothly, I would love to purchase but at £24.95 a tube I am so sad it is so expensive. May buy it with a Boots voucher when I get one , but sadly my budget does not cover £50 a month for day and night serums. Thankyou for samples. I would recommend it to my friends.

Its late grannygrunt and I blame your IPad, but thanks so much for cheering me up before I went to bed

I took a close up photograph of my face before I started using the serums. (Not a pretty sight !) but it has been useful to compare before and after shits.
My skin feels really nice and my husband and daughter both say the can see an improvement.
I think the product is starting to make a real difference but unfortunately price is too much for me to be able to purchase it on a regular basis.
I would recommend the serum to my richer friends though.

The little tubes had a big challenge as I am 78 with sun damaged skin!! The texture of the cream felt pleasing to my face, and I thought there was a slight improvement and that if I continued for 6 months or more there might be an appreciable improvement. But I don't feel that at my age I can justify the price.

Updated after a month of use.

Love the packaging

Love the feel of it going onto my skin.

Moisturiser glides on and I need less

I have noticed my skin is brighter and slightly firmer

Small wrinkles on my cheeks have gone almost.

I would recommend it to friends

I would buy it with a No 7 voucher as I feel it is a bit too expensive for
me to buy monthly

Thank you for the opportunity of allowing me to try this wonderful serum out.

My overall impression is that it is a good product, attractive container and easy to dispense at first although as you get towards the end, the packaging rather like toothpaste is not easy to extract and therefore unless you cut open the tube, I imagine there is quite a bit of waste; expensive waste. The serum smells very pleasant and is silky to the touch.
I believe that there is quite a significant difference in the overall appearance to my skin but this might be because I have adopted a religious 'beauty routine' during the trial which is definitely not the norm. I'm not sure I can kid myself that any lines and wrinkles have vanished. Not sure what to say about firmness and pigmentation and fragility because I am not sure they were ever an issue but I would say that my skin does look brighter and clearer and this is in the depths of November so on that score the product is impressive.
I think the cost is a real issue and am not convinced that even though the product does have benefits for the skin that the price is one that can easily be overlooked. I come from a generation where that is actually a quarter of a hundred pounds and whilst I know the younger generation are more inclined to not pay so much heed to the price of a beauty product, I am not certain that my generation think the same. The size of the tube is really miniscule so I really think you are on to a loser there unless you are considering, permanently having some sort of offer on but I would never feel happy about walking out of a shop with a tiny sliver of serum and a large £25 hole in my purse.
Yes I would recommend the serum to a friend - I have already mentioned how impressed I am with it to quite a few people but I firmly believe that the price is a big issue.
Hope that helps and thank you for the opportunity to test the product

Four weeks now and skin looks brighter and smoother, on cheeks though. I would have loved the wrinkles around my mouth to have lessened but they have not. Pigmentation, especially with one age spot I had has disappeared.

I do love the serum but would find it quite expensive to purchase every four weeks, thank you for the opportunity to try it though. I would buy again with the usual Boots No 7 vouchers. Also would recommend to friends.

The serums are lasting longer than I first anticipated and I do find them very smooth and pleasant to use. I am using them with the matching creams so my skin does feel well moisturised.
I have not noticed any difference in the lines, pigmentation or firmness but my skin does look a bit brighter.
As I haven't received any comments from friends about my appearance, I probably would not recommend them as I am not sure they would be able to afford them and they have their own routines. I already have a reputation of being rather profligate and gullible with cosmetics!
I still have plenty left so will keep up with it and have enjoyed trialling the products.

After four weeks I cannot say that there has been a massive improvement in my skin. Some of the fine lines have diminished but not totally vanished. I do not feel that the tube is adequate enough for eight weeks. Whether or not I would buy this product I am unsure

Have been using the creams for 4 weeks now and still seem to have plenty left so perhaps I am not using enough (I'm getting more parsimonious as the years go by!). I think it has helped the fine lines and it feels good to put on but can't say that there has been a huge difference. My neck does feel smoother as it got very dry with the sun this summer. I like the feel under make-up and it does seem to help make-up to last longer. I would buy it as a special treat or if I had saved plenty of points but am not sure if I would pay full price - I would expect it to last longer.

I like the different coloured tubes for easy identification

The perfume is pleasant and the serum is easy to apply- it spreads easily and a little goes a long way

Afrer immediate application the skin feels soft and smooth

The small creases around my eyes have improved very slightly

My neck is smoother and softer

I do not have much/any pigmentation so no difference

I would not describe my skin as being fragile and I have noticed no difference in firmness

My skin, before application, appeared to have a healthy glow so no difference in radiance

Would I buy the product again? No, it is too expensive for very little difference and the product, for the price, does not last long

Would I recommend to a friend? Not sure-the cost is a major factor, the difference seemingly being smoother, softer skin. I am lucky, I have few wrinkles for my age.

I have used restore and renew for 4 weeks now, both tubes nearly empty. Also used protect and perfect cream over it.
Overall impressions- very easy to use, spread very easily over face and neck.
Lines and wrinkles only very slightly decreased , skin does seem very slightly firmer, slightly rehydrated. Very soft and smooth to touch.
I have been outdoors dog walking, gardening etc. -skin doesn't feel at all dry after this activity.
I am nearly 70 years old and I am impressed with the over all effect on my skin.
I would put this on my wishlist but I think it unlikely that I could afford £24.95 per month.
If friends could afford it I would have no hesitation in saying yes try it.
I have enjoyed this trial so thank you for inviting me to take part.

Now been using the serums for 4 weeks, had a nasty cold for first three so wasn't sure what was happenning with my skin as it looked awful anyway. However, now feeling better and quite impressed with the product. I still have some left in both tubes and am surprised. I love the feel of it on my skin, I like the smell, especially the night one. I'm sure my skin is softer, the small creases around my eyes have improved - but I have made sure I apply liberally there. I don't have much pigmentation so haven't noticed a difference there It is expensive but as I don't normally splash out on other things I would be prepared to pay for this as it seems to have an effect. I would definately recommend it to a friend. I shall be interested to see just how long it does last. One small criticism, the day serum seems to leave a slight 'deposit' on my skin which does not alwasy sit well under makeup but have only noticed that once or twice.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to try these products.
I was away on holiday when they arrived so I have only been using them for three weeks, however, here are my impressions so far -

1. Overall impressions - Nicely packaged, day/night creams easily distinguished, pleasant perfume - not too strong, easy to apply but not sure how much is needed, skin feels soft and smooth after application.

2. I can honestly say that after three weeks I can not really see any difference in my skin. I am looking especially for a reduction in wrinkles around my mouth area and under eyes, plus a more even skin tone. I will certainly stick with the products and hope that after the eight weeks (if it lasts that long!) I will be convinced that miracles really can happen!.

3. I will not be buying it again unless I can see a noticeable difference in my skin. Even then, I would probably think about trying to find a cheaper option!

4. I would not recommend to a friend at the moment but I realise that I need to try it for a longer period of time.

I will report back again after using it for eight weeks - or when it has run out.

I have been using the serums for 4 weeks now and I'm surprised that there appears to be quite a lot left in the tubes. I'll definitely carry on using them until they're empty just to find out how long they actually last. I've had an overall favourable impression of the serums. They're easy to apply, smell nice and seem to have had a positive effect on my skin. The frown lines on my forehead have disappeared completely and the creases under my eyes are lessening with every day's use. My skin feels soft and supple. My daughters said that I looked really well. I would ask for the serums as a birthday or Christmas present as I don't usually spend that much myself on face products, but if they do last a lot longer than the 4 weeks I've used them so far, I might be tempted to treat myself! I would definitely recommend them to a friend and I would also suggest that younger friends and relatives should consider using the serums appropriate to their age.

Well 4 weeks in and I've still got some serum left in both tubes. I have noticed that my makeup slides on easier and there has been some lightening of my 'age-spots' on my throat area but that could be because I'm improving on my makeup application!
I would probably be interested in buying the day serum alone as I still find the perfume in the night serum off-putting. I have previously tried a similar Clinque version of serum and can honestly say I prefer the No7 for day time use.
I've loved doing the trial and it certainly has made me focus on my skincare regime, so thankyou!

I have used the product in conjunction with boots moisturiser. I have previously used protect and perfect serum and to be honest it didn't seem much different. It does keep the skin hydrated and soft. I have to say that there are Dermalogica products much better but then again they are a lot more expensive.
I have not noticed any change unfortunately.
I thought it was a reasonable price, but given that it does not last long I would only purchase it when there was a 3 for 2 offer!
I will continue to use it, and would recommend it on the basis of keeping the skin hydrated.
Thank you for the opportunity to test it.

I still have some of the Day Serum left but loads of the night serum. I have mentioned before that I find it difficult to remember to cleanse etc at night.

My skin feels so much softer and smoother although I still have wrinkles. I think my makeup lasts longer too.

I would continue to use the day serum if it was available on its own. Lots of other serums are available separately so it seems a little perverse to only have the Boots one available as a twosome.

All in all I have been pleased with the product.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to try it.

I too love the different colour tubes and mine are just about gone now... I must say the longer I've used it the better the effect seems and deep wrinkle at the corner of my eyes and mouth seem much less obvious , my skin does feel smoother too.. so all in all I'm impressed with the product but I'm still not sure I can afford to purchase it regularly.. maybe a kind OH will buy me some for Christmas..

further to previous post of mine I am still impressed and finding it is lasting so should eke out for the month. Have bought some for my daughter (the appropriate age)
I don't think I look quite so ancient but perhaps it the rose tinted specs.
Feels good so hopefully does good

Have now been using the serums for 4 weeks ( almost gone!). Easy to use. Great having different coloured tubes for day and night. My skin is definitely firmer and softer. Don't have any deep wrinkles or pigmentation, so can't comment on those. I would definitely recommend the product but unfortunately could not afford to pay out £25 every month myself.

1 very good. I also like the colour coding. It didn't make my skin feel sticky or tight as do some creams.
2 fine lines better, not the deep wrinkles bit firmer perhaps. Haven't noticed any pigment spots.slightly more radiance (but difficult to tell as I'm naturally radiant!)
3 as this is considerably cheaper as the one I usually use and has a better effect!

I'm changing to it

4yes

Q1: What were your overall impressions - Great product, I like the silky texture, learnt to use just the right amount after a while, and like the colour coded tubes.

Q2. After using Restore & Renew Day & Night serum for four weeks, how significantly has your skin changed in the following areas?
· Lines and wrinkles - I am certain there is an improvement in lines, wrinkles? Nothing but surgery will shift my frown line.
· Firmness - my skin feels firmer.
· Pigmentation - Can't say I've noticed much difference, but I have very little visible pigmentation.
· Fragility - My skin feels and looks plumper.
· Skin’s radiance - Definite improvement.

Q3. The RRP for No7 Restore & Renew Day & Night serum is £24.95, do you think you'd be likely to buy the product again or not? If so, why? If not, why not? - I would like to carry on using it, but it would have to be comparable in price to other similar products.

Q4. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend the serums to a friend? If so, why? If not, why not? - Yes, I would recommend.

It's lasted a lot longer than I thought it would.
My skin does feel nicer, the fine lines are less, but nothing can be done about the crevasses that could swallow a mountain goat, or even possibly one Hannibal's elephants!

I will put a picture on the 'bot's cream photo site for comparison.
