The skincare’s special formula has been praised by skincare-lovers
The rolling hills of Yorkshire might not necessarily be where you’d imagine the next big thing in skincare would be born, but a groundbreaking formula for plump, healthy skin from one of the UK’s fastest-growing beauty brands hails not from London, Paris, or LA – but from the Yorkshire countryside.
The special ingredient in 47 Skin’s products, one which is said to kill 99.9% of breakout-causing bacteria, was actually discovered by a team of local scientists working on a water purification project. Silver Chitoderm® was designed to help clean water, not skin, but the formula was shelved when large-scale production proved unviable.
However, when Nic – who had been struggling for years with his skin – got his hands on a pot of Silver Chitoderm® through his Grandma, who’d found it at a market, it transpired to be the miracle elixir he’d been searching for. Within four days, his skin cleared, was calmed and stayed hydrated for the first time in over a decade, and he was determined to bring this incredible ingredient as a skincare saviour to the world.

Nic teamed up with the scientists to patent the formula, launching what would become 47 Skin – a brand that’s now trusted by hundreds of thousands of shoppers and is formulated, developed and manufactured locally in Yorkshire.
Silver Chitoderm® is not only said to fight breakout-causing bacteria, but it also deeply hydrates and soothes skin. Dermatologist-approved, clinically tested and UK made, it forms the basis of all 47 Skin products – and now shoppers can get 10% off bundles of skincare that could be the answer to all their woes.

Among the products is a 2 Step Cleanse & Protect Bundle for £47.50 which includes a cleanser said to remove impurities on the surface and deep within the skin, unclogging pores and preventing breakouts, while the serum forms a protective layer that renews skin cells and reduces blemishes.
Shoppers can also get the Complete Routine Bundle which includes a cleanser, a BHA exfoliant that contains salicylic acid, a silver mask that should be left on for 20 minutes, an intensive hydration elixir, the previously mentioned serum, a daily moisturiser, daily SPF 30 and a blue clay mask for £321 after the 10% discount.
While this brand has a unique special ingredient, there are other skincare bundles out there. For example, there’s the The Ordinary Essentials Bundle for £28.20 from Boots which comes with a hyaluronic acid daily moisturiser, a hyaluronic acid 2% and B5 hydrating serum, a squalane cleanser for all skin types and niacinamide 10% + zinc 1% oil control serum. Another option could be Lookfantastic’s The Dermatological Edit for £50, which features a Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3 Serum, an Augustinus Bader The Eye Cream, Ameliorate Transforming Body Lotion, Bioderma Sebium Kerato + Anti-Blemish Gel-Cream and many other products.
47 Skin, however, has received many positive reviews as one shopper wrote: “I have had nothing but a great experience so far with 47 Skin.”
“I cannot speak more highly about this brand, their products and their customer service! I’ve been using the facial cleanser, the anti-blemish serum and the silver mask for the last few years and could not be happier with the results. Brands like 47 Skin that have quality products that work and customer service like theirs is what drives customer loyalty. And I am ONE LOYAL CUSTOMER!” said another.
However, as is natural with skincare products, they may not be the perfect choice for everyone. One person said: “I received the goods quickly, however I have emailed twice as the products have made no difference.”
Another buyer wrote: “I’ve been using the everyday cleanser and serum now for a few months and found the combination of the two to be excellent. My face no longer feels dry and irritated after washing and it’s much smoother. In fact, my neighbour gave me an unsolicited compliment recently on how good my skin looked… that’s a first for me!”
Despite this, with an overall 4.3 out of 5 star rating on Trustpilot and for a trusted brand with a unique formula, 47 Skin could be just what skincare lovers are looking for.
