Boots No 7 ‘Protect and Perfect’ or ‘Restore and Renew’
Marketed under Protect and Perfect in the UK and Restore and Renew in the USA, the product is currently not available in Australia. Judging by the company’s inability to keep up with large Northern hemisphere markets it will be a long time in coming. Since the BBC Horizons aired its show ‘Dr Reagan’s Beauty Parlour’ the product vanished from the shelves.
Boots No 7 Serum - What Is Different?
1. The active ingredient, palmitoyl pentapeptide, is the first product to meet the results achieved from prescription retinoids as an anti-wrinkle treatment.
2. The product has blown the cover: you do not need to pay exorbitant amounts of money to get good skin care product.
Palmitoyl Pentapeptide
The active ingredient in Boots No 7, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide is not new, it is manufactured by Sederma and clinical studies on its effectiveness existed prior to the latest research by Professor Griffiths at the Manchester University.
Professor Griffiths: “At both basic science and clinical levels Boots No7 Protect & Perfect has been shown scientifically to repair photo-aged skin and improve the fine wrinkles associated with photo-ageing.” Reported in Daily Mail 2nd April
Boots No 7 serum a revolution in skin care cost
The original BBC program compared it to the much-hyped La Prairie Cellular range which could cost as much as £229 for a small 30ml pot. The Boots No 7 costing £17 won hands down. The real revolution - proven fact: good skin care need not cost a fortune.
Australian alternative 5% peptide serum
Because of the lack of availability of Boots No 7 I had a serum developed with the same active ingredients as the Boots No 7 - this peptide serum is available through our clinic. It is a lighter serum than the original more suited to Australia’s humid conditions. The percentage of Palmitoyl pentapeptide in the serum is 6% and it retails for $44 Australian (50ml). An advantage of this particular Palmitoyl pentapeptide serum is, that unlike the original it does not contain parabens as a preservative.

You can find Boots No7 on ebay for reasonable prices.

Hi Georgie, I know that until recently there was alot of the Boots No 7 for sale on Ebay, after the research was first released last year. I have not been to check for quite a while. We sell an alternative to the Boots No 7 with the active ingredient 6% Matrixyl 3000.

After reading up about the Boots product I found this site and bought some of the serum Dr Joanne Turner makes. It’s fantastic. It works and I am also happy to be supporting an Australian woman running her own business. Good on you. - Emma

Hi,
”Could you please give me some info on your replacement of boots no 7 for the australian user such as postage costs and prices etc.
Cheers Cass
Dr Joanne Turner responded on 28 May 2009 at 11:40 pm #
Hi Cass,
Our Serum has the same active ingredient as the Boots No 7 it is a %6
Palmitoyl pentapeptide in a beautiful light base. It has antioxidants ACE
As added bonus and no parabens, so a good product all round.
It is important to have realistic expectations as to what a skin care
product can do, the studies by Professor Chris Griffiths showed reversing
of photo aging, it can decrease depth of wrinkles and improve texture and
quality of skin , but it is not Botox and fillers. That is the reason I
had a product developed with the active ingredient to assist improving the
quality of the skin by stimulating collagen production.
It will take 8 weeks to start to work, though most people do notice
changes earlier than this. It is not a moisturiser as such but most people find
they do not need a moisturiser. It is safe to use all around the eyes, and
neck and décolletage. You can use it morning and night. If you find any areas
are dry just simply use a moisturiser.
You can only buy the serum from us at present, the cost is $44 Australian
for 50ml, plus $6 postage and handling to anywhere in Australia, so $50
all up.
Call us on 07 33505447 if you are interested in buying our serum,
we can organize purchase over the phone and get your postal details to send it to you.
Regards Jo

Dear Jo,
Very interested in buying your serum when my Boots runs out (probably November) - I have been using the Boots P & P SErum since May and have been
amazed at the improvement, so will move on to yours happily. Its great to
see that someone in Australia has taken up the challenge. If you would like to
email any product details to me I will pass the word around here in Adelaide.
I would be interested in any other skin care you make too.
Regards,
Veronica
