All the way back in 1935, renowned UK beauty retailer Boots saw that women needed, more than anything, an accessible avenue for high-quality skincare. Real people with real skincare problems didn’t have time to wade through unfamiliar names, and the prices of top-range skincare made it even more difficult to build a routine one could trust.
In response, they founded No7, which has since become one of the most trusted names in accessible skincare worldwide. This is not a one-size-fits-all range but a customisable series of products grouped into distinct ranges, each one helping customers address a particular skincare need.
As New Zealand’s exclusive supplier of No7 products, we know our way around this brand quite well. To help you access the right products for the right reasons, this guide breaks down the main ranges available right here at Life Pharmacy.
The Lift & Luminate Range
The Lift & Luminate range is No7's flagship collection for visible signs of ageing. Each of the products within help women who want to bring firmness, brightness, and smoothness back to their skin as they age.
The core product of this range is one you might already recognise: the Lift & Luminate Triple Action Serum, which targets lines, skin tone, and firmness all at once. Out of the entire No7 skincare portfolio, it’s one of the most well-loved products for first-timers.
Meaningful sun protection in New Zealand is the single best way to protect your skin. So in terms of SPF (something we all need) the Lift & Luminate Triple Action Day Cream with SPF 30 partners the serum well. Add the Night Cream alongside it to support skin renewal overnight.
This entire range is best if your top skin concerns include visible lines, a loss of firmness, uneven tone, and anti-ageing.
The Protect & Perfect Intense Advanced Range
Of the many strong performers across the No7 skincare range, the Protect & Perfect Intense Advanced Serum is one of the very best, and that is saying something. It is clinically proven to visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles over time, so the longer you use it, the better your results. The serum is infused with vitamins A, C, and E to nourish your skin at the cellular level, and the formula is fast-absorbing and non-greasy for easy use.
We particularly want to highlight the Eye Cream from this range, as it’s well worth adding to your skincare routine. Like most eye creams, it’s designed to moisten and plump the delicate skin around the eye area. This one, however, also works on the appearance of fine lines and helps to visibly improve dark circles.
If you are struggling with fine lines and wrinkles, or your skin needs antioxidant support to strengthen the skin barrier, then this range is for you. It also suits all skin types, even sensitive ones.
The Restore & Renew Range
While the neck often gets far less attention than it should in the skincare world, this Restore & Renew collection from the No7 skincare range aims to change that. Your neck can show signs of visible ageing over time just as much as your face, so this range blends ingredients that address both concerns in single, easy-to-use products.
For example, the Restore & Renew Face & Neck Multi Action Serum anchors the entire Restore & Renew collection, addressing five key signs of ageing across both face and neck. According to No7 research, these signs of ageing can start to diminish in as little as two weeks. Happily, it’s light and non-greasy, so you can easily layer it under your daily moisturiser.
There is also a day and night cream that pairs well with the serum’s restorative properties, helping bolster those anti-ageing effects throughout the day.
If you want to address ageing across both face and neck, this range and its anchoring serum are the perfect picks for you.
The Future Renew Range
Finally, we have to introduce you to No7 skincare’s most technologically advanced range. This is also the latest addition to this well-loved brand, bringing together all the knowledge accumulated since 1935.
This entire range is built around reversing the visible signs of skin damage rather than simply managing them. For preventative skincare, the Future Renew range leans on a unique peptide complex developed through the brand’s research program. You’ll see this peptide in each of the range’s products, including:
· The Future Renew Damage Reverse Serum, which is designed to reverse visible skin damage caused by UV, pollution, and other environmental stressors in just eight weeks according to No7's clinical testing.
· The Future Renew Repair Eye Serum, which addresses the eye area specifically to prevent fine lines and wrinkles.
If you tend to look ahead, or you want to give your skin its best chance of retaining elasticity and health as you age, then this preventative range is best for you.
Happily, the No7 skincare ranges are all designed to layer with each other, so you might decide to build a routine that combines the Lift & Luminate products with one or two Future Renew serums. Build targeted results into your daily routine with this accessible skincare range, assisting women since 1935.
