No7 Has Arrived In South Africa, Exclusively At Clicks

For years, No7 has been one of the more recognisable names in British beauty, building its reputation around skincare backed by decades of research and product development. Now, the brand has officially arrived in South Africa, exclusively through Clicks.

The launch gives South African consumers access to No7’s skincare portfolio across selected Clicks stores and online, with the local range covering everything from anti-ageing and retinol to hydration, radiance and everyday cleansing.

The partnership is also notable because Clicks says No7 was not simply selected as another international addition to its beauty offering. The brand emerged as the top choice when Clicks asked its customers which global skincare brands they wanted to see available locally.

“When we asked which global skincare brands our customers most wanted to see in South Africa, No7 came out on top,” says Nigel Grimes, Clicks Chief Commercial Officer. “That gave us a clear indication of the appetite for the brand and the opportunity to make it available locally.”

Founded in Britain in 1935, No7 brings almost 90 years of beauty heritage to the South African market. The brand is currently the UK’s No.1 skincare brand and has built its reputation around combining skincare expertise with scientific research.

For Clicks, the launch also expands its selection of internationally recognised beauty brands while giving consumers access to products that have previously required international shopping or importing.

At the centre of the South African launch is No7 Future Renew, the brand's most significant scientific innovation to date.

Future Renew was developed through 15 years of research into skin ageing and repair and features what No7 describes as a world-first super-peptide blend. The formulation incorporates two new chemical entities as part of a patent-pending technology designed to support the skin’s natural repair process.

According to No7, the technology supports the renewal of more than 50 key proteins in skin cells, with the collection targeting visible signs associated with skin ageing and skin damage.

The Future Renew range has also become one of No7’s fastest-selling launches, with the brand reporting that one product from the collection was sold every two seconds on launch day.

Rather than bringing only its flagship range to South Africa, No7 is launching across six collections: Future Renew, Lift & Luminate, Pure Retinol, Restore & Renew, Hydra Luminous+ and Cleansing.

That gives shoppers options across different skincare routines, from retinol and hydration to radiance, cleansing and age-defying skincare.

The South African launch is exclusive to Clicks, with No7 available across 200 stores nationwide as well as through the Clicks online store.

For No7, the partnership provides access to one of the country's largest beauty retail networks while giving the brand a local platform for its international expansion.

“Clicks was the natural partner to introduce No7 to the market, with its nationwide store network and growing digital presence offering South African consumers accessible beauty and skincare expertise,” says Mark Winter, Managing Director of No7 Beauty Company.

The launch also reflects how South African beauty consumers have become increasingly connected to international skincare trends and brands, with demand for globally recognised products influencing what retailers bring onto local shelves.

For shoppers who have encountered No7 through international beauty content, travel or social media, the brand's arrival means the products can now be purchased locally rather than sourced from overseas.

The No7 range is priced from R249 to R599, positioning the brand across a range of skincare needs and budgets while making its South African debut exclusively through Clicks.
