I missed it too, lol

Podcast here

There was also a No.7 product called refine and rewind? (I think!) they only flashed it up on the screen very briefly but it apparently had more effect on the free radicals than the £130 cream which showed no effects whatsoever!

I have one £5 voucher left to use up before the 31st so I'm hoping that there hasn't been too much of a rush on it before I can get to Boots on Friday

I've used both of those No7 serums in the past and they're not moisturisers, you have to apply them BEFORE using moisturiser.

Just checked Boots.com, I'm not sure whether they flashed up "No7 Protect & Perfect Beauty Serum" or "No7 Refine & Rewind Intense Perfecting Serum" but checked both - out of stock, real shame as they have a 3 for 2 on at the moment, I'll try in Town.

Can anyone confirm which of the two serums above they showed as being better than the £130 cream. May as well get the right one.

It was the Protect and Perfect Serum BOOts NO 7

POINT :- boots if one of the VERY FEW companies to do indepth research on product effectiveness.
Other products shown

NIVEA Visage Vit C (no suprise as vitamin C is a master antioxident see Rosehip oil)
Also shown
The Organic Pharmacy Antioxident Face Gel around £30
They also showed a quick pic of Boots Time Delay Spf8 in a pink glass jar.
The two ridiculous priced ones were PREVAGE and some other green thing in a nice box and these performed worst!.
I Think the Nivea one had the best Antioxidant capability and the Boots serum helped repair "some" note "some" damage!.
So I guess use the NO7 serum and the Nivea cream if you want best and cheapest results around £30 a month or £150 for six months!.

Be interesting if people post their experiences of these products but:-

I am sticking with my beloved Rosehip Oil why its full of natural Vitamin C and Tretinoin ,Beta Carotene Tannins and GLA's costs £10 for 100ml around 6 months true moneysaving! Vitrual zero side effects!.

Why because there is lots of scientific research to back up this natural products effectiveness! Whole point of the whole Horizon programme!

Also note that the MOST EFFECTIVE product named was Tretinoin or RetinA prescription only here but you can buy it for around £15 from USA if you can live with the side effects!?.

Thanks for that Shokadelika - took your advice and my Rosehip Oil arrived this morning - couple of quickie questions, do I just use it undiluted, a few drops before my moisturiser morning and night, and can you tell me how long it'll be before I'm drop dead gorgeous and look 10 years younger;) (maybe a little hopeful on that one).
thanks

Use it undiluted as a serum under your normal moisturiser (though you don't need another moisturiser really as the Rosehip Oil is excellent on it own) twice a day if you want especially good round the eye area.
I Decant some into a smaller bottle and keep the bulk in the fridge and away from light this keeps the oil fresh
