    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

    4 Stars Protect and perfect 22/10/2006
    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

    5 Stars Spring into Action 25/02/2008
    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

    5 Stars Bug Gets Her Purse Out (No Really!) 22/03/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Scientifically proven, beautifully soft and smooth, easy to apply

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The price although it's reasonable for the results

    Boots No7 Protect and Perfect Serum With warmer weather on its way I thought it was probably time to drag myself out of the gutter and dust myself off. Close examination of my skin last month led me to the horrifying conclusion that at just twenty-four years of age it might be necessary to invest an anti-aging serum of some description. To be honest, if you look at my profile picture, do you suppose I look twenty-four? I'm guessing no given that most people seem to assume I'm in my late twenties (I've had "wow I thought you were thirty" before). It was equally important for me to start ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Visible results after just the first use.

    4 Stars ***** A Thoroughly Modern Vanishing Cream ***** 09/04/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Clears spots and scars at a good price.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not 100% sure it can really help prevent skin ageing.

    It was a sunny Saturday and I rang Cool Friend to see if she wanted to meet up for lunch. I bounced around the kitchen looking at my new suede pixie boots and listening to the phone almost ring out. "Whhhhat time is it?" She asked, in a tone that suggested I'd woken her up not just from sleep but straight into a hangover. She's an amenable sort and in no time at all I convinced her that she should get to the pub pronto for some hair of the dog. It was a time for doing; with no regard for how that doing might affect others. Before leaving, I danced into the bathroom for a quick once over, hair ... more

    5 Stars Nearly perfect so just give me some protection 09/09/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Silky skin, good value

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Does it really work? Hard to tell

    To review this product it is important to delve into the hype that surrounded it on its release as essentially the 'hype' is good advertising and as a consumer the hype is what pulls you into the purchase. However unlike most products the hype around No 7 Protect and Perfect serum has lasted, winning Style Magazine 2009 Best Anti-Aging Product. So what was the hype? Well at the time of the products release it was being hailed as a miracle cream, selling out faster than Ipods at Christmas and generally being held in very favourable acclaim. Independent tests began to show that this product ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages It works

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Expensive

    Legend says that when this product first came out women queued for hours, there were cat fights, tears and hopes crushed as it soon found itself sold out across the country. What product was it? It was Boots Number 7 Protect and perfect Beauty Serum. This serum is part of their Anti-ageing skincare product range. Since its release the serum has actually claimed to work miracles. According to Boots, it reveals younger looking, beautifully refined skin.
