The introduction of No7 further elevates the Clicks beauty proposition, giving customers access to science-led skincare from a brand that has earned the trust of consumers across generations.
The partnership demonstrates Clicks’ ability to leverage strong international relationships to secure sought-after brands for local consumers, further differentiating its offering within the South African retail landscape.

A brand customers asked for
Born in Britain in 1935, No7 brings nearly 90 years of beauty heritage, combining decades of skincare expertise with scientific research and product development. Today, it is the UK’s No.1 skincare brand.
Its arrival follows direct feedback from Clicks customers about the brands they most want to see on local shelves.
“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.”
For No7, South Africa represents a new market in 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, No7 Beauty Company.
15 years of science behind Future Renew
Leading the South African line-up is No7 Future Renew, the brand’s biggest scientific innovation to date.
Developed through 15 years of research into skin ageing and repair, Future Renew features a world-first super-peptide blend containing two new chemical entities as part of a patent-pending technology that cannot be found in any other product.
Designed to harness the skin’s natural repair process, the technology supports the renewal of more than 50 key proteins in skin cells, targeting some of the visible signs of skin ageing and damage.
Future Renew became No7’s fastest-selling product launch, with one product from the collection selling every two seconds on launch day.*
The South African collection spans six ranges: Future Renew, Lift & Luminate, Pure Retinol, Restore & Renew, Hydra Luminous+ and Cleansing, covering age-defying skincare, retinol, hydration, radiance and everyday cleansing.
No7 is available exclusively at Clicks across 200 stores nationwide and online, with products priced from R249 to R599.
