After three months of testing, I can firmly say that yes it does. First of all, let's look at the science put into proving the claims. No7, which is the UK's most popular skincare brand, has announced its Future Renew range that contains a 'super peptide' blend, which it says is proven to reverse the appearance of multiple signs of skin damage after just one week. The new range comprises four skin products - a day cream, night cream, face serum and eye serum - that No7 says will the skin’s natural repair process and has been described as a game changer for consumers. No7 Future Renew Night Cream is expertly formulated to support skin's natural self-repair process while sleeping and reverse visible signs of skin damage.​ It contains the new super peptide blend, along with other key nourishing ingredients including shea butter, niacinamide and hyaluronic acid. ​​​ Said to rival retinol products while being one of the ‘most effective and tolerated’ ingredients, patent applications have been submitted and are pending for both the new peptides and the delivery system found within the serum. If granted, it will be a ‘world-first technology’ not seen in any other products. Well, at a basic level, peptides act as signallers, sending messages to your skin cells to act on something—make more collagen or boost elastin production. The idea is that peptides encourage the skin to repair itself after damage has negatively affected it in terms of reduced collagen and elastin formation.

The skin around the eyes is thinner and more delicate than elsewhere on the face, meaning it is more susceptible to damage. Expertly developed for the delicate eye area, No7 Future Renew Eye Serum reverses visible signs of skin damage in 8 weeks. ​ As I say, it’s only been a week but that’s when No7's testers saw first results. Right now my undereyes look… quite good, I guess? A bit smoother, I’d say. And my skin does generally feel softer and a bit more bouncy. Whether that’s a hydration thing at this stage, or an early super-peptide bonus I can’t really comment but I’ll take it either way. Protect & Perfect, you may well have competition in my affections.No7 Future Renew Day Cream is proven to protect against UV and reverse visible signs of skin damage, such as the feeling of dryness and loss of elasticity. ​ It contains SPF40 for damage prevention, No7’s new super peptide blend, an antioxidant blend, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C and rice proteins.​ It intensely moisturises the skin for up to 72 hours, and within 1 week of use, users reported brighter, healthier, more supple skin.
