Few brand new releases have captured the attention of skincare enthusiasts quite like . Since its launch in April this year, it has broken records to become the brand’s fastest selling product range to date.

The ‘world-first’ super-peptide range racked up a waiting list of 94,000 people, with shoppers queuing outside stores to get their hands on it, with a digital waiting room online to avoid customers crashing the website. On the day of launch, the science-backed, affordable collection saw and 500,000 transactions in the first four weeks.

It’s not often you’ll see shoppers snap up a product so quickly without hearing word of mouth results and reviews, but since No7 has built up a reputation for their skincare that genuinely works, they sold than any other previous launch.

The full range has received more than and consumer feedback shows that people continue to see results from the range after months of usage. One of the women singing its praises after using it for six weeks is Nottingham Live Editor Natalie Fahy, who reckons it’s a great alternative if you don’t fancy injectables, improving her skin texture and lightening dark circles in less than two months.

After trialling the range for six weeks, here’s what she had to say:

There is absolutely no doubt there has been a huge buzz around Boots' latest skincare range for 'mature' skin. The claim to reverse visible signs of skin damage using a 'world first peptide technology' called Pepticology.

It all sounded rather scientific to me, and as an oft-frazzled busy mum-of-two all I wondered was whether it would make me look 21 again. So when Boots sent me some of the products to try, I decided to stick to a proper skincare regime for the first time in my 41 years on this planet and I was aiming to do it for at least a month.

Six weeks later I am still going - and loving the results.

I don't suffer from sensitive or problematic skin at all, except for the fact I am very keen on sun protection as I burn extremely easily. I also don't like anything on my skin to be greasy as I do tend to get a bit shiny as the day goes on. I have never had botox or fillers and I once had a facial a few years ago. My skincare regime prior to this involved Nivea moisturiser if my skin gets dry, some Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour cream if things got really bad, and a face wash in the shower to remove make-up. You get the idea.

My first impressions on receiving the package was that the and a good weight to them. These will look good on your bathroom shelf. The lids open easily and dispense a sensible amount of product.

The labelling on the back explains you have to use the in a pump bottle first, then the eye serum and lastly either the day or night cream. The has an SPF of 40 which is brilliant and a huge improvement on previous skincare ranges from No7 (Protect and Perfect was only SPF 15).

The glides onto the skin and dries within seconds leaving no residue at all. You could easily use it as a base for make-up alone as it leaves your skin very smooth. The day cream is a little heavier and I'd say you hardly need to use any. The night cream is only lightly-scented but really fresh and feels quite indulgent.

I've noticed since using the that I look less exhausted when I wake up in the morning. My skin seems to have a bit of life to it now and the bags under my eyes look lighter. My skin has a nicer texture to it too now. I can't say I have noticed an improvement in the lines around my eyes, but I've seen other reviews saying this can take around 12 weeks to happen. If you're looking for something that does not involve injecting something into your skin, I would say you definitely need to give this range a go.

The prices of these products are fairly high. I'd try the serum first if you are unsure, at and see how you get on before investing in the others. Both the day and night cream are priced at and the The whole regime can be purchased for £85 at the moment on the , which is a saving of £44.80 on the products separately.

A little does go a long way with this range and mine are showing absolutely no sign of running out. You can
