47 Skin's Solution to Banish Breakouts: Discover the secret behind its success

If you’ve ever faced a breakout (or three) you’ll know how frustrating they can be – and how much you long for skin that stays clear.

This is exactly how 47 Skin founder Nic Taylor felt after he spent over a decade battling his own breakouts.

Taylor tried everything, from prescriptions to expensive treatments, but it wasn’t until his grandmother gave him a nondescript cream that something finally started to click. Within just four days of receiving the cream, the redness in his skin had gone down, his skin felt calmer, and his breakouts had disappeared. He felt like himself again.

But Taylor had no idea where the cream came from, which sparked a year-long search that led him to a team of water purification scientists in Yorkshire. The scientists hadn’t been looking to create a skincare solution, but Taylor discovered that their formula, designed for filtering water, just so happened to have transformative effects on skin, and mimicked the cream that his grandmother had given him.

This led Taylor to partner with the scientists to develop Silver Chitoderm®, a breakthrough ingredient that now features in every 47 Skin product, and which ultimately led to the birth of 47 Skin.

Since its launch with just one product, 47 Skin has grown into an award-winning range (it has over 2,000 five-star reviews on Trustpilot), and is now stocked at Boots and Harrods, and has even been recognised as one of the UK’s fastest-growing founder-led businesses for two years running.

And there’s a reason why it's so commended – this skincare brand doesn’t just look good. It actually works.

It’s the brand’s best-selling product, the Anti-Blemish & Scar Repair Serum, that’s the true game-changer thanks to the use of Silver Chitoderm®, which kills 99.9 per cent of the bacteria that cause breakouts and leaves your skin clear, hydrated, and glowing.

“My 15-year-old daughter loves this product. Her skin has cleared up 100 per cent. It's truly life-changing for her,” one review, Duncan, wrote.

While another reviewer, Pippa, added: “My skin’s always been super sensitive, easily irritated, constantly breaking out and always red. I’d tried everything, spent way too much on products that promised the world but left me disappointed. Honestly, when I first tried 47 Skin, it completely changed the game for me. My skin is calmer, clearer and for the first time in years, I feel confident walking around without makeup.”
