I personally really like this product, I have been using it for about 18 months now and have noticed a difference in my skin. In fact if I don't use it and try something else I really miss it. I... more

    5 Stars Protect and Perfect Diamond review 22/04/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages It works, fairly inexpensive

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None that I can think of

    I first stumbled across this little miracle cream completely by accident. Approximately six months ago, I bought some Boots No 7 cosmetics, mascara and an eye pencil, if I remember correctly. There was some sort of ‘special offer’ on at the time, which I wasn’t aware of – spend £15.00 or more on Boots No 7 cosmetics and you get a free ‘gift pack’, consisting of a few different No 7 products, including, nail varnish, moisturising day cream, an eye-brow pencil a make up bag, and Boots No 7 Protect and Perfect Serum. I took my little booty bag home and over the following few weeks, proceeded to ... more

    3 Stars Why Is It Called Serum? 03/09/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Relatively inexpensive, does smooth and moisturise skin.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Spots! Chemical smell.

    The BBC programme "Horizon" has a lot to answer for. Earlier this year it broadcast an investigation into the anti-aging properties of a variety of creams and potions, and * shock horror * announced that one of the products it tested actually seemed to work. That product was Boots No 7 Protect & Perfect Beauty Serum. Cue women flocking to Boots in their thousands. Except me. I have always been very sceptical about the anti-aging claims made by beauty products, and even though "Horizon" is generally considered a serious, ethical programme, I wasn't struck by its findings. I continued happily ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Very moisturising

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not for oily skin

    No 7 protect and perfect I was on a bit of a cosmetic buying spree the other week, and spurred on by the promise of extra advantage points, I found myself at the Boots No 7 counter. I bought along with a few other items because I was clutching an extra points voucher, a £5 discount voucher and was additionally enticed by the 3 for 2 offer. For a bargain hunter like me, with the ethos "points make prizes", this was retail heaven! **What does this promise to do?** Once again, I am confounded and astounded by the claims, but this one promises " younger looking skin in just 4 weeks". The unique ... more

    2 Stars It wasn't so perfect for me 26/06/2008
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages packaging's OK

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Expensive, brought my skin out in lumps

    In 2007 the BBC's horizon programme showed that Boots No.7's Protect and Perfect Serum was proved to reduce wrinkles following an independent study. Following this programme sales of the serum increased by over 2000%. I didn't actually watch the show, but as I shop in Boots a lot I twigged that there was something going on. Whenever I was near the No.7 counter, I would see countless women coming up asking assistants when the product would be back on sale, this was quickly followed by signs being put up all around the store announcing that it had sold out, but would be back in stock soon. I ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Serum which perfects the skin of a lot of women

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No longer in nice bottle

    It's been hailed as a wonder cream and sold out in days after a BBC2 Horizon programme said it was as effective at combating sun damage as other products which can only be prescribed by a doctor. So I decided to buy some the next time I was at Boots, but it was out of stock, not surprising really as they had sold 60,000 bottles in 10 days instead of 1,000 a week as they had previously! Eventually after trying on eBay for a few weeks, where one bottle sold for £100, I managed to buy a bottle at even less than the recommended price and that was including postage! So what is this wonder serum ... more

    I have all the protect/prefect and lift & illuminate products.

    I hae used Protect and Perfect ever since it came onto the market, now I have changed to Lift and Illuminate - I cannot tell you how delighted I am with all your products. Just a thought though, how about making the eye gel into a roller ball?
