Norwalk, CT, Feb. 3, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Boots No7 products won Good Housekeeping’s First Annual Anti-Aging Awards in four categories as the most effective treatments tested to help achieve younger-looking skin. To find the winners, the scientists at the Good Housekeeping Research Institute conducted 3,000 lab tests with 820 volunteers and evaluated 90 products. The following Boots No7 products received Good Housekeeping’s Anti-Aging Award:
· Best Anti-Aging Serum: Boots No7 Protect & Perfect Intense Beauty Serum ($22.99)

Backed by science, Boots No7 products are all dermatologically tested and hypoallergenic. Boots No7 Protect & Perfect Intense Beauty Serum was lauded for its rich super-intensive formula proven in an independent year-long clinical study to improve the appearance of deep lines and wrinkles when used long-term.
In Good Housekeeping’s study, the product received a perfect score for firming; one consumer tester remarked, "My skin has never looked better."
