Olay v No 7 Protect and Perfect

or whatever it is called!

Looked at these in boots today. I need to cut back on spending at clarins and clinique so thinking about these.

No 7 has 3 for 2 on at the moment but I wouldn't necessarily let that sway me.

Any recommendations?

Thanks

I used the No.7 Protect and Perfect when the serum first came out (after co-incidentally stepping away from Clinique). It was good, it perked up my skin, but the rest of the range hadn't come out then so I don't know about the whole range.

I now use Olay's Regenerist range and my skin loves it (I am 37), I use the face cloths, then the serum, then either the day or night cream (together with an eye cream I get from Aldi) and I often have compliments and comments on how good my skin looks.

I settled on Olay after having used No.7, Dermalogica (huge mistake for my skin), dermalogica and then finally Olay.

Good luck.

I am leaning more towards Olay as people do seem to have positive outcomes.

Will see tomorrow when in Boots again. Can you tell me about the face cloths?

The new boots no7 protect and perfect intense cream is fab- only daily moisturiser that has SPF 15 and maximum UVA protection. Can't believe that no other daily creams have decent UVA protection- it causes most ageing of the skin.
It is easily absorbed and feels good on the skin. Hasn't given me spots either!

I have it and really like it, I use the foundation too, it's nice and light on my skin.
I had two £5 off vouchers so used those to buy them.

The cloths are double sided, one is rougher and the other is smoother .. you use the rougher one first, then the other and then rinse. I like them because they don't make my skin feel dry .. then after the serum I use the day cream which is SPF15 which I like. I think Olay and NO.7 Protect & Perfect are fairly similar ranges ...

Olay v No 7. I have been a No 7 user for a very long time , but lately my skin has become very sensitive.

I actually use both of these. The No 7 P&P serum and the Olay Regenerist cream (SPF 30)

The remember getting lots of compliments when I first started using the serum. Was late 20's and was reguarly getting asked for ID 🥳 shortly after using it. Now mid 30's and whereas I don't get asked for ID these days, I do still think it's ) good and think I look a little younger than my years 🤞I swap and change my serums though, but currently using this one.

The Olay cream seems to be good and actually I do sort of have evidence for this. Before I put it on my face, I put it on the back of my left hand and that part of my hand definitely looks much smoother than my other hand. Must be doing something.
