Shoppers praise science-backed serum that 'reverses' signs of skin damage
Boots' own No7 has long been a household name when it comes to makeup and skincare. But in recent years, the brand has seriously raised the bar when it comes to its newest innovations.
One of their latest - the Future Renew Damage Reversal Night Serum - quickly cemented itself as a bathroom cupboard essential among shoppers and beauty editors alike. During launch week back in April, it sold one every seven seconds, making it the bestselling skincare product on Boots.com.
No7's Future Renew Night Serum is a science-backed formula that's been clinically proven to reverse visible signs of skin damage while you sleep. Backed by years of research with the University of Manchester, it's actually the brand's most scientifically advanced nighttime serum to date, and uses chronotechnology to sync with your skin's natural overnight repair cycle.
Another serum that uses similar technology is the Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum Synchronized Multi-Recovery Complex, which uses Chronolux Power Signal Technology, which is designed to enhance the skin's natural repair and renewal processes.
When it comes to the No7 formula, though, it contains a world-first super peptide blend, designed to reverse visible signs of skin damage, including fine lines, wrinkles, uneven tone and texture, and dry skin. It also includes Lindera Strychnifolia, a plant extract that helps strengthen the skin's internal clock and boost nighttime repair signals, alongside hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, vitamin C and E.
Ahead of its launch, I blind-tested the serum and documented the experience. Within two weeks, friends started commenting on how glowy my skin looked and by week four, I noticed a real shift - my usual redness had calmed down significantly, and the texture of my skin felt smoother and more refined.
By the eight-week mark, my blemishes had reduced, my complexion looked more even, and my skin felt clearer and more resilient overall. I enjoyed using it so much, I've kept it in my regular skincare rotation and find myself regularly reaching for it. I especially like the relaxing DreamScentz hypoallergenic fragrance, which is a really lovely way to wind down at the end of the day.
Some people may still be looking for an anti-ageing product with a little more power behind it, though. In which case, Medik8's Crystal Retinal is an incredibly popular, science-backed option. Despite No7's serum not containing Vitamin A, it is clinically proven to reverse visible signs of skin damage in 100% of users, and has racked up some impressive reviews on the Boots website, too.
One 86-year-old reviewer noticed visible improvement, commenting: 'Really good. I am 86, but I'm sure there is a difference since using both serums .' Another wrote: 'I'm heading for my mid-70s and I really can see a difference for the better - just wish it wasn't so expensive.'
'My skin feels and looks healthy,' said a third. 'People have noticed my facial skin and asked me if I have been on holiday. I reply no and then they ask how I have attained such lovely skin.'
One shopper has been using the product for two months and said: 'This is the only product that I used differently in my routine, so I know that this must be the one making the difference. My skin looks healthier and feels smoother, and my fine lines are less noticeable.'
The main criticisms the product has received, though, are regarding the price to product ratio. One wrote: 'A very good product but the price for 25ml seems a bit steep. Doesn't last long at all and I've been very sparing.'
Another added: 'I liked the product but after three weeks using it once a day it ran out. It did not last long enough to see if it did anything. I have never spent so much on a face product before.'
A 25ml bottle of the No7 Future Renew Night Serum comes in at £39.95, but shoppers can get double the amount of product for £49.95 with the 50ml tube. And, by stacking some current deals at Boots, shoppers could get it even cheaper, too.
At the moment, there's up to 15% off selected No7 which takes the price of the larger serum down to £47.45. It's also on three for two with the cheapest item being free, meaning customers can get three 50ml tubes for £94.90. And finally, anyone who uses the code REVERSE10 at the checkout can get £10 off, slashing the overall cost to £84.90 - averaging at £28.30 per tube.
