Review: Boots No7 Protect and Perfect

January 19, 2015

I am in my mid-twenties, but I’m conscious about what I put on my face to help slow down the aging process.  I made a decision to invest on the things that go on my skin and get a little cheap on things like mascara and lipstick.

I usually use Philosophy skincare products and I haven’t purchased anything from the drugstore (aka the drugstore section of Ulta) in ages since I no longer work close to an Ulta.

Review Boots No7 Protect and Perfect Advanced Serum

So I am out of the loop when it comes to what brands are available.  Thanks to Influenster, I know that a quality Boots No7 skincare line is available at Target.  I just know them as color cosmetics, but I guess they’ve grown up.

I received the Boots No7 Protect and Perfect Serum to try out.

I was excited to get it because it is for the early signs of aging.  I know my skin isn’t looking old, but now is a great time to start to ward off problems down the road.

Trying out the Boots No7 Protect and Perfect Serum

I liked the way it made my skin look and feel.  It was light weight and left my skin feeling fresh and supple.  It was almost like splashing water on my skin.  This serum made it feel comfortable and I did see a bit of a glow on my skin when I used it.

I did see that after using it for a while, I had some pitting in areas I never did before.  I don’t know if I had some problem areas from acne scarring that weren’t noticeable or this created some issues I’ve never had.  Either way, it was unusual to look at my forehead and see dimples.

I haven’t seen them since the sample ran out, so who knows.

Serious drugstore skincare from Boots No7

My big problem is the sample.  Boots No7 says that you’ll see first results in two weeks and full results after a month.  Fantastic.  Buuut…..

….C’mon now.  This packet doesn’t have two weeks’ worth of product in it.  I think I got a scant week out of it.  Sadly, I don’t know if I’ll be purchasing more.

I know, the whole point of a sample is to give you a little taste, hook you, and make you buy the full size.  It’ll start to work its magic and you’ll want to keep it going.  I get that.  I just wish I was able to get a little more of a well-rounded review out of this.

Overall: I like this serum, but with the imperfections that I noticed the longer I tried it and the short trial time, I don’t know if I’ll be picking it up.

Have you tried Boots No7 Protect and Perfect Serum?  What do you think?

    I haven’t even opened the sample yet, though I probably should get cracking. There’s not a whole lot of time left to earn my badge. Your complaint about the size is my biggest complaint.

      I scrimped and lasted a little under a week. Definitely not enough time to form a solid opinion. Ugh!

    I actually saw this one while I was in Target the other day. I have been trying to find a face cream that I actually love. I like the idea of trial size packets a lot but it really stink when they don’t give you enough to form a good opinion. Bummer!

    • Angelica @GardeningInHighHeels

      I could see this being a moisturizing serum in the summer since it’s light, but if you want a cream for the winter dryness (I get bad flaky patches) I would definitely use it in conjunction with something else. That’s about all the opinion I have haha!

  • Katy McKinley

    I fail at all things face cream and moisturizer and all of the above. There is this rumor going around that I’m not getting any younger…but I still haven’t convinced myself that it’s true. At least one of us is taking care of their skin for the future.

    • Angelica @GardeningInHighHeels

      I don’t believe the rumors. Pics or it didn’t happen! I finally decided to spend more money on skincare and less on color cosmetics (with a few exceptions of course!) and I’m loving the investment – hopefully my broke, 40-year-old self will appreciate having the skin of a baby.
