Willow bark extract provides gentle exfoliation for more radiant skin, helps reduce acne and excess oil as well as signs of ageing and the appearance of wrinkles. Get that radiant skin you've always wanted with No7's Radiance+ Moisturiser. It illuminates dull and tired looking skin, for a burst of hydration, day after day. For an instantly brighter looking complexion and skin that feels nourished. With a daily boost of Vitamin C, this fresh, lightweight formula absorbs immediately. No7 moisturiser targets wrinkles and illuminates dullness for an even complexion and renewed radiance. The results are very similar to that of the No7 serum. Skin is noticeably brightened, areas of discolouration reduced and it feels plumper and more bouncy. Due to the inclusion of glycolic acid, it does far more for skin texture than the budget option, which improves the appearance as well as the feel of skin. The long-term effects of No7’s serum are just as good as we’d expect of any other with a higher price point. Within two weeks of daily application, we saw a marked improvement in skin clearness, brightness and elasticity, as well as a slight reduction in the fine lines around the sides of the mouth, and experienced zero irritation or drying.

As is quite common among luxury brands, Murad doesn’t market its products with percentages (the same goes for its retinol products), so there’s no precise way of knowing how it compares to the No7 vitamin C content beyond its effects. Vitamin C does sit slightly lower in the list of ingredients than it does in the No7 formulation (the lower down the list it is, the less of an ingredient is included), but given that there are far more ingredients in the Murad formula, this isn’t surprising. The vitamin C here is ascorbic acid – sometimes called L-ascorbic acid – and is the form that has the most skincare-related research behind it. In a first for the skincare market, Murad has stabilised this with actual gold. While we can’t speak to how effective this actually is in preserving potency, we do enjoy seeing an ingredient list that simply includes “gold”. The toner comes loaded with the goodness of Aloe Vera, Cucumber, Willow bark extract, and many other hardworking ingredients. Ensure application is smooth and even using our beauty tools, including brow, contour and face brushes. Once you’re done and dusted, why not spot clean your brush using our No7 brush cleaner? Product can cake and dry in the bristles, so it’s really important to keep on top of your cleaning routine.

It includes glycolic acid, an exfoliating alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that sloughs away dead skin cells, giving a more luminous complexion, smoothing out texture and allowing the vitamin C to penetrate more effectively. It also contains hydrating, buffering ingredients, making the serum more comfortable on the skin and minimising any irritation (we personally didn’t experience any). The old classics glycerin and hyaluronic acid do the job here. It also contains urea (yes it’s a component of urine, but don’t worry, a synthetic version is used in skincare), which binds water to the skin and can also improve the absorption of other ingredients. Finally, the formula includes a “phyto-luminescent extract”, which supposedly transforms UV into a light source, making skin more luminous. Cucumber, a trusted skincare ingredient, offers hydration, reduces inflammation, and calms irritated skin.
