No no Boots. Why is this discontinued?

Loved No 7 Hydral Luminous Skin Perfector.

It’s a very lightly tinted moisturiser which leaves skin looking fresh. No caking, smooths in easily with just a hint of colour. Ideal for ageing skin.

Now it’s been discontinued. Need a replacement.

Reading the reviews others are having difficulties finding a replacement too.

Any suggestions please?

I use Meroda, it’s white in colour, has a very mild perfume and changes to suit the colour of my skin - it also has an added SPF. I’ve always found it incredibly difficult to choose the right colour for my skin tone and this is perfect for many different skin shades. It has a light coverage so looks very natural.

Try No7 shield and defend tinted moisturiser. I love it and have used it for years. Every so often I have strayed and tried a "premium" brand like Clinique - but I always go back to this ....

Remember Panstick by Max Factor? I still have some. I found it on the Internet at a low price, and my shade was in stock. I now have several. It works very well as a concealear. I wouldn't pay
nearly £50 to Dior.

I always use Erborian, very light cover and concealer, pricy but it goes a long way

I've gone back to pan stick and love it 😃

I agree with you CanadianGran regarding Charlotte Tilbury, it is so light on the skin you don’t feel it.

Furret.. if you look on Ebay they still have some for sale.. Maybe stock up...

I use pan stick - in a nouveau beige - the colour and coverage is perfect to cover the odd blemish so I just use it like a concealer - far cheaper ! I don’t like foundation all over my face but I did use a tinted serum from ‘ The ordinary ‘ - super cheap . Bit tricky getting the right colour though as their light is very light . I find their rose hip oil evens out my skin tone and that plus my pant stick concealer (I have a reddish scar on my nose ) plus sometimes a brush of multicoloured blusher makes me look reasonable . Sun protection is best provided by a proper sunscreen not make up .

I love Bare Minerals factor 30 tinted moisturising gel in natural - only need a bit but makes a huge difference

in a charity shop was a Boots No7 lipstick priced at £10.
checked in Boots and It's a discontinued range......

just saying.

Susieq62 which one do you use please? Thanks

They seem to have discontinued the Natural Collection long lasting foundation too. I tried to get some for my holiday 4 weeks ago and it was fine ☹️

Try the Boots No 7 tinted facial sun cream Factor 50; it comes in two shades fair and medium, is nice and creamy and moisturising.
