Boots No 7 Protect & Perfect Advanced Serum Review



I firmly believe that a good serum is 1 of the most important part of skincare. If you wish to invest in any 1 skin care product, it should be a serum!

Good face cleansers and moisturizers are easy to find even at lower price points.
Having said that let's get on with the review of the new & improved Boots Protect & Perfect Advanced and Intense Advanced serum.


The award winning Boots No7 Protect & Perfect range has been a cult favorite of women around the globe for years now. Boots has gone a step further and released the new & improved version which is even better than the original formula.

You can buy the  No7 Protect & Perfect Advanced serum to take care of first signs of aging (between ages 18 - 35), or buy the  No7 Protect & Perfect Intense Advanced Serum if you have more mature skin and deeper wrinkles. 

Packaging: Comes in a simple plastic squeeze tube with a narrow nozzle with a twist up cap. This gives you a control of how much product you need and hence, there is product no wastage.

My review: I love it! This is the only potent skincare product I took to my recent holiday, and my skin feels amazing. You know how your skin is beat up and dead by the end of a vacation? Nope, non of that happened to me. My skin is happy, thanks to this serum!
It promises to target your skin concerns and fix them. It did help in evening out my complexion and brighten my skin. I don't have many wrinkles, a few fine lines under my eyes , which I'm sure is just going to stay. But I'm sure the serum is helping prevent premature skin aging. The only down side is that you have to use slightly more than you would with any other serum. I let my mom try the intense version, and she is happy with it too.

Usage: I apply a good amount onto my face, neck and sometimes even my decolletage after cleansing, before moisturizing.

Arbonne Cosmetic Review

As a person who suffers from severe dry skin, I found it immensely convenient when Rebecca from Arbonne asked me if I’d like to review some products for her. I happily agreed and waited patiently for the products to arrive. And when they did – you could say I was like a kid on Christmas morning.
Arbonne has a wide variety of cosmetics ranging from skincare, to bath&body, to fragrances, to hair. I was luckily enough to get sent some of their skincare creams.

The RE9 set comes with seven face creams:

  • Smoothing facial cleanser
  • Intensive renewal serum
  • Corrective eye cream
  • Regenerating toner
  • Restorative day creme
  • Extra moisture restorative
  • Night repair creme
They creams are so smooth and feel amazing on your skin. They even have that delightful smell of fresh cream that is soothing.
I found they worked amazing with my dry skin on my face. I’d apply the different creams for different times of the day and for different purposes. The Extra Moisture Restorative would be applied in the morning to keep my face soft and moist throughout the day. Then before bed I’d apply the Night Repair cream.
Overall, the creams were perfect for my skin and I highly recommend you checking them out if you as well suffer from dry skin, especially in these cold, dry winters.
