Boots No7 Radiance+ 15% Vitamin C Serum

Product Information

As is quite common among luxury brands, Murad doesn’t market its products with percentages (the same goes for its retinol products), so there’s no precise way of knowing how it compares to the No7 vitamin C content beyond its effects. Vitamin C does sit slightly lower in the list of ingredients than it does in the No7 formulation (the lower down the list it is, the less of an ingredient is included), but given that there are far more ingredients in the Murad formula, this isn’t surprising. The vitamin C here is ascorbic acid – sometimes called L-ascorbic acid – and is the form that has the most skincare-related research behind it. In a first for the skincare market, Murad has stabilised this with actual gold. While we can’t speak to how effective this actually is in preserving potency, we do enjoy seeing an ingredient list that simply includes “gold”. Hyaluronic Acid - powerful moisture-binding ingredient that can hold up to 1000x its weight in water, proven to hydrate skin, retain moisture and prevent moisture loss with reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Formulated with gentle exfoliators, fruit extracts and Vitamin C, No7 exfoliating cleanser helps even skin texture and minimise the look of imperfections for skin that looks firmer, smoother and perfectly prepped for the rest of your skincare routine.

Availability: No7 skincare products are widely available, including at drugstores and big-box retailers. Anti-ageing - Vitamin C is a natural collagen booster that in turn improves your skin’s elasticity, texture, and quality making it look tight and young. The long-term effects of No7’s serum are just as good as we’d expect of any other with a higher price point. Within two weeks of daily application, we saw a marked improvement in skin clearness, brightness and elasticity, as well as a slight reduction in the fine lines around the sides of the mouth, and experienced zero irritation or drying. Citric Acid - works by exfoliating the upper layer of dead skin cells to help clean pores, even skin tone and soften and smooth the skin.Good for sensitive skin: Many of the No7 skincare products are formulated for sensitive skin types and are gentle on the skin. Dark circles and hyperpigmentation – The unique anti-spot property of vitamin C lightens dark circles without altering your normal skin’s pigmentation. Dark spots and hyperpigmentation – The unique anti-spot property of vitamin C lightens dark spots without altering your normal skin’s pigmentation. The extras are where the Murad formula moves above the No7. It includes glycolic acid, an exfoliating alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that sloughs away dead skin cells, giving a more luminous complexion, smoothing out texture and allowing the vitamin C to penetrate more effectively. It also contains hydrating, buffering ingredients, making the serum more comfortable on the skin and minimising any irritation (we personally didn’t experience any). The old classics glycerin and hyaluronic acid do the job here. It also contains urea (yes it’s a component of urine, but don’t worry, a synthetic version is used in skincare), which binds water to the skin and can also improve the absorption of other ingredients. Finally, the formula includes a “phyto-luminescent extract”, which supposedly transforms UV into a light source, making skin more luminous. No7 Skin Care products are generally considered safe for use, and there are no known serious side effects associated with them. However, some individuals may experience mild irritation, redness, or itching when using certain products, particularly if they have sensitive skin.

It’s a balance between fun and function: everybody wants to feel like they’re shooting a video for Vogue’s Beauty Secrets series, but at the same time, results and effectiveness are also important.
