No7 Protect & Perfect All-in-One Foundation Calico — Hydrating Medium Coverage, SPF 50

No7 Protect & Perfect Advanced All in One Foundation in Calico is a hydrating, medium-coverage foundation with SPF 50 that blurs pores, reduces redness, and helps improve the look of skin over time.

This lightweight liquid foundation combines immediate skin-smoothing effects with daily protection and long-term skin-focused benefits. Formulated using No7's Skin Expert™ research across a broad range of skin tones, it offers buildable coverage, hydration for up to 24 hours, and high SPF to guard against UV exposure. The texture sits comfortably under makeup, helping create a natural-looking base while addressing concerns like visible pores, uneven tone and the appearance of fine lines.

How does this foundation perform on redness and visible pores?

The formula uses light-diffusing pigments and a smoothing base to visibly reduce redness and blur pores as soon as it's applied. Results are immediate: your complexion appears more even and skin texture looks refined without feeling heavy.

• Light-reflecting pigments for instant soft-focus finish
• Medium, buildable coverage conceals redness without caking
• Silky texture that minimizes the look of enlarged pores

Will it protect my skin from the sun and still wear well under makeup?

Yes—the foundation contains SPF 50 to provide high-level daily sun protection while also serving as an effective makeup base. It layers smoothly under additional makeup products and helps keep other layers from sliding by maintaining hydration and a balanced finish.

• Broad-spectrum SPF 50 integrated into the foundation
• Hydrating formula that supports makeup longevity
• Suitable for layering with powders, blush and bronzer

Does this formula suit different skin types and tones?

No7 designed this product after analyzing millions of skin tones to deliver natural-looking matches across a range of complexions. The texture is friendly to oily, combination and sensitive skin types thanks to its lightweight, non-greasy feel and gentle formulation.

• Available in 12 shades to help find a closer match
• Developed using Skin Expert™ technology for true-skin finish
• Works well with oily and sensitive skin when applied with primers or setting powders

How does continued use affect the look of fine lines and overall skin quality?

With regular application, the formula is crafted to help improve the look of fine lines and skin texture over time. Antioxidants and skin-conditioning ingredients support a smoother appearance, while the base provides immediate optical benefits from first wear.

• Formulated to refine the appearance of fine lines with ongoing use
• Includes antioxidants to help preserve skin appearance
• Hydration helps plump the look of skin for a fresher finish

Who is this for? This foundation suits anyone wanting a multi-tasking face base: those who need medium, buildable coverage, daily high-SPF protection, and a product that softens the look of pores and redness. It's a practical option for people with oily, combination or sensitive skin looking for hydration without excess shine, for shoppers who prefer a natural skin-like finish, and for users who want a long-wearing base that pairs well with the rest of their makeup routine.
