Boots No. 7 Anti-Ageing Serum

Smoothing the Wrinkles with No7 Intense Serum

No7 Protect and Perfect Intense ADVANCED Serum, often called No7 Intense Serum as it's less of a mouthful, is an anti-ageing serum brand from No7, a subsidiary of Boots UK. eBay is a great place to shop for this popular product as you can compare the listings from the various sellers. There are plenty to choose from.

The serum contains a selection of ingredients that work in combination to produce a range of beneficial effects on facial skin. In addition, it's designed to be hypoallergenic, so it's good for sensitive skin, too. The active ingredients include:

• Retinyl palmitate: This ingredient is absorbed into the skin and converted to retinol, where it becomes a source of vitamin A to reduce the signs of ageing.
• Hyaluronic acid: This beneficial acid helps to maintain skin firmness.
• Antioxidants: These make the skin more resilient and less susceptible to environmental assaults.
• Peptides: Important peptides such as Matrixyl 3000 Plus supply proteins that nourish the skin and promote healthy levels of collagen and elastin.
• Alfalfa: Alfalfa extract is rich in a range of vitamins and minerals that are good for maintaining healthy skin. They include vitamin C, vitamin K, Riboflavin, and iron.

You can expect to see improvements in facial skin texture after a couple of weeks of use. Within a month of using No7 Intense Serum, you should expect to see a significant improvement as wrinkles and lines become increasingly less visible. Continued use is recommended for even better results and to slow the signs of further ageing.

No7 Intense Serum is designed to be applied to your face and neck underneath a moisturiser. First apply No7 Intense Serum as directed by the supplied instructions. Then apply a moisturiser of your choice. This ensures deeper and longer-lasting penetration of the skin.

It is sold in tubes of 30 mm and 50 mm. See the manufacturer site for details. Some formulations are designed especially for day use and some for night use to be applied before going to bed. Sets are also available containing both day and night versions of the creams, and there are also variations of the product available containing ingredients designed for additional purposes. These include ingredients such as skin whiteners or sunscreen with high sun protection factor (SPF) to ward off the ageing effects of ultraviolet rays.
