Built around the idea of skin preservation, it’s designed to dramatically reduce skin ageing activity and preserve skin in its visible prime*.

Skin preservation is all about protecting your complexion before visible signs of ageing appear – maintaining skin’s youthfulness rather than trying to reverse damage later on. Your 30s are a key moment to take this approach, as subtle changes begin to happen beneath the surface, even if they’re not yet visible in the mirror. ## Why Is Skin Preservation So Important? Visible signs of ageing can accelerate by up to 50% in your 30s, with 71% of people noticing changes earlier than expected\*\*\*. That’s why a proactive approach matters. From oxidative stress and UV exposure to skin-degrading enzymes, everyday factors can speed up the process – making early prevention key. In fact, 80% of people in their 40s say they wish they’d taken better care of their skin sooner.\*\*\* ## How Does The Prime Forever Range Address This? No7’s new [ Prime Forever](https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.boots.com/no7/prime-forever?utm_source=sheerluxe&utm_medium=.com_&utm_campaign=SO_prime_forever_sheerluxe_article__;!!MOA0!Z1kO5zepJOP62iTgcEBQnnUluCTH9_zTV3SHIQ6ksMWAwT1KswLcz0uhdZdkBRIqZ-x4-nEqFx8nTeRn6Zx_RE2jiAcgwHjx$) range is specifically formulated to target the damaging effects of skin-ageing activity at its source. At the heart of the line-up is its exclusive Glaciology technology – which contains the brand’s most advanced antioxidant blend to date – designed to act as a daily shield against the damaging effects of modern aggressors, from pollution to lack of sleep.

Within minutes, Prime Forever reduces skin ageing activity\*, and the serum alone reduces oxidative stress (a key cause of skin ageing) by up to seven times\*\*\*\*. Acting quickly to minimise skin-ageing activity and preserve skin for up to 24 hours, continued use helps maintain skin’ s appearance in its prime. --- ## THE RANGE [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/YhhqCx2Yfk6sdjZBDCCB4AQUvoA=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F04%2Fno-7-portraitcleanser.jpg) ](https://www.boots.com/no7-prime-forever-transformative-gel-oil-milk-cleanser-150ml-10373747?utm_source=sheerluxe&utm_medium=email_&utm_campaign=SO_prime_forever_launch_email_cleanser) ## Transformative Gel-Oil-Milk Cleanser #### £19.95 Deeply cleanses, hydrates and preps skin to tackle impact of accelerated ageing factors\*\*. *Available at* [BOOTS.COM](https://www.boots.com/no7-prime-forever-transformative-gel-oil-milk-cleanser-150ml-10373747?utm_source=sheerluxe&utm_medium=email_&utm_campaign=SO_prime_forever_launch_email_cleanser) [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/c61cQQJ5MaDIYclWVgPI96rtqjs=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F04%2Fno-7-portraitserum.jpg) ](https://www.boots.com/no7-prime-forever-serum-30ml-10373753?utm_source=sheerluxe&utm_medium=email_&utm_campaign=SO_prime_forever_launch_serum) ## Serum #### From £37.95 The No7 clinically proven serum reduces skin ageing activity within minutes and helps preserves skin for 24 hours\*\*\*\*\*. *Available at* [BOOTS.COM](https://www.boots.com/no7-prime-forever-serum-30ml-10373753?utm_source=sheerluxe&utm_medium=email_&utm_campaign=SO_prime_forever_launch_serum) [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/FbMdb3g095d9VSmjzcOrz6kthvk=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F04%2Fno-7-portraiteye-patches.jpg) ](https://www.boots.com/no7-prime-forever-reusable-silicone-under-eye-patches-10373849?utm_source=sheerluxe&utm_medium=email_&utm_campaign=SO_prime_forever_launch_eye_patches) ## Reusable Silicone Eye Patches #### £17.95 Designed to work with Prime Forever serum and moisturiser to boost hydration – tired eyes are visibly rejuvenated\*\*. *Available at* [BOOTS.COM](https://www.boots.com/no7-prime-forever-reusable-silicone-under-eye-patches-10373849?utm_source=sheerluxe&utm_medium=email_&utm_campaign=SO_prime_forever_launch_eye_patches) --- [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/uGYYQUacoN0KGgdJyRuiXMBSMcU=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F04%2Fno-7-portrait-new-moisteriser.jpg) ](https://www.boots.com/no7-prime-forever-weightless-moisturiser-50ml-10373751?utm_source=sheerluxe&utm_medium=email_&utm_campaign=SO_prime_forever_launch_email_moisturiser) ## Weightless Moisturiser #### £37.95 This gel-like moisturiser plumps, smooths, evens & hydrates skin for a healthy-looking glow. \*\*Provides 100 hours of hydration. *Available at* [BOOTS.COM](https://www.boots.com/no7-prime-forever-weightless-moisturiser-50ml-10373751?utm_source=sheerluxe&utm_medium=email_&utm_campaign=SO_prime_forever_launch_email_moisturiser) [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/bf1RmtYjSewRaLB24Byx7ROuAlY=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsw18.sheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F04%2Fno-7-portrait-new-spf50.jpg) ](https://www.boots.com/no7-prime-forever-spf50-primer-50ml-10373752?utm_source=sheerluxe&utm_medium=email_&utm_campaign=SO_prime_forever_launch_email_spf) ## SPF 50 Primer #### £24.95 SPF 50 and unbeatable 5-star UVA rated – No7’s highest protection against UVA and UVB rays. *Available at* [BOOTS.COM](//www.boots.com/no7-prime-forever-spf50-primer-50ml-10373752?utm_source=sheerluxe&utm_medium=email_&utm_campaign=SO_prime_forever_launch_email_spf) *Shop the No.7 Forever range at* [BOOTS.COM](https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.boots.com/no7/prime-forever?utm_source=sheerluxe&utm_medium=.com_&utm_campaign=SO_prime_forever_sheerluxe_article__;!!MOA0!Z1kO5zepJOP62iTgcEBQnnUluCTH9_zTV3SHIQ6ksMWAwT1KswLcz0uhdZdkBRIqZ-x4-nEqFx8nTeRn6Zx_RE2jiAcgwHjx$) *\*From UV protection & Antioxidant protection against surface oxidative stress. \[Excludes cleanser & eye patches\]* *\*\*\*No7 consumer study conducted in August 2025 with 22,256 participants aged 18-88, across genders and ethnicities in the UK and US* *\*\*Consumer study* *\*\*\*\*From antioxidant protection against surface oxidative stress* *\*\*\*\*\*Antioxidant protection against surface oxidative stress.
