No 7 Advanced Retinol 1.5% Complex Night Concentrate

If you are a Skincare Junkie, then chances are you've heard of this new holy grail product from No7! More than 100,000 people joined the waiting list back in May ahead of the online launch making it one of the biggest waiting list's in Boots history! Now, there's no more waiting for Irish fans as it's become available in Boot's stores all across Ireland! 

​Following more than two decades of clinical trials in skin ageing in collaboration with The University of Manchester, No7 has launched its clinically proven night concentrate with ten skin results. The No7 Advanced Retinol 1.5% Complex Night Concentrate consists of a supercharged and powerfully regenerative cocktail that combines two of the most effective age-defying ingredients, peptides and retinol. During their research, No7 discovered the ‘therapeutic sweet spot’ consisting of a 0.3% retinol, which delivers the perfect balance of efficacy with minimal irritation. 

No7 says:

"This is a next generation retinol product and is proving to be a game changer for millions of women who want to transform the appearance of their skin, reducing visible fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation, as well as refining pores, and evening out skin tone and texture. The clinically proven ‘sweet spot’ formulation and incredible skin results have made this product an instant bestseller.”

So, what exactly is it?

No7 Advanced Retinol is the brands first ever night concentrate created with a combination of two of the most powerful age-defying technologies in skincare in one expert formula. This supercharged concentrate actively targets the visible sign of ageing and dullness to kick start surface skin renewal from the very first application, working night after night to deliver visibly younger looking skin.
​

It reduces the appearance of:
  • Fine lines
  • Deep wrinkles
  • Pigmentation 

It contains:​
  • 0.3% Pure Retinol – the expert recommended powerful level for efficacy and skin comfort reboots the skin helping it to act like younger, healthier looking skin
  • Matrixyl 3000 Plus - No7’s powerful anti-wrinkle peptide technology for helping to restore a more youthful appearance to your skin
  • Retinol optimiser – an intelligent slow-release oil encapsulation system for enhanced delivery throughout the night 
  • Retinol Soother – helps to calm the skin

What is Retinol?
Retinol is a derivative of vitamin A and works by:
  • Increasing the skin’s cell turnover, which is why it's often hailed as one of the top ingredients to help fight ageing. 
  • It helps to smooth imperfections
  • Reduces the appearance of dark spots, blotches and sun-damage.
​
​Vitamin A cannot be made in the body, which is why it needs to be applied topically or ingested through foods.
​
Advice:
Limit initial use to once or twice a week on non-consecutive nights, gradually increasing frequency to every other night, then every night as tolerated. As a guide, it will normally take at least 4 weeks to reach nightly use.​
  • Do not apply to irritated, broken or inflamed skin
  • Retinol can make the skin more sensitive to UV radiation. Limit sun exposure and ensure you apply minimum SPF 15 Day Cream every morning while using this product
  • This product must not be used in conjunction with other pure retinol products, as well as retinoic acid, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs)
  • Avoid contact with eyes and lips. If product gets into the eyes rinse well with water immediately
  • Do not use if taking prescription acne medication or undergoing a skin peeling regime

How to use?
  1. Apply 2 pumps evenly onto a cleansed face avoiding the eye, outer eye and lip area
  2. Allow the product to completely absorb into the skin
  3. Apply your usual age-defying serum and liberally apply your favourite No7 night cream

Availability

The best-selling concentrate will now be available instore across Ireland for only €25 until 22nd September 2020 – the normal price is €36 for 30ml

Important to note

I always recommend doing a patch test before incorporating any new skincare into your routine!
As the product mentioned contains Retinol, it is not suitable for use during Pregnancy.
