In A "David Against Goliath" Move, SKIN.NY(R), Takes On Boots For Misleading Public By Making False Claims About No.7 Protect & Perfect Products, UK

Cult skincare brand SKIN.NY(R) have issued legal proceedings against beauty giant, Boots the Chemist, for misleading the public. In a recent blaze of publicity, Boots the Chemist claimed that their much-lauded Boots No.7 Protect and Perfect was the first anti-wrinkle cream to be proven to be effective in clinical trials.

In fact the "inactive" control cream used in the SKIN.NY(R) study was as effective in 3 months as the Boots Serum was in a year. This also makes SKIN.NY(R) more cost-effective - three month"s supply of SKIN.NY(R) costs GBP99.00 whereas six month"s of Boots No.7 is GBP197.50. The facts speak for themselves - the trials SKIN.NY 3 month"s double blind clinical trials with product used twice daily.
