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 silicone based serum, containing anti-oxidants A, C, E with beta-carotene and green tea extract in an attempt to replicate the active ingredients and pricing of the Boots product. The percentage of Palmitoyl pentapeptide in the serum is 5% and it retails for $44 Australian (30ml).

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 Emma thankyou for leaving a comment. I originally developed the Palmitoyl pentapeptide serum to provide an afforable Australian alternative to the Boots No 7 protect and perfect. Like you so many women are rapt with our little serum, but it is so nice to get positive feedback. regards Jo
