THE founder of viral beauty brand Skin 47, Nic Taylor, recently shared how years of skin struggles led him to create a beauty powerhouse.
After trying countless skincare products and even medication, nothing made a difference until one day, a little secret from his grandma arrived in the post.

Nic's incredible 47 Skin story began when his grandma popped a small, unassuming pot of cream in the mail.
She didn't know much about it, only that a friend had picked it up from a local market stall, and she hoped it might help with Nic's skin concerns.
What happened next would spark a transformation far beyond what either of them could have imagined.
Within days of using the cream, Nic's skin felt smoother, calmer and clearer than it had in over a decade.
The founder's discovery of Silver Chitoderm, the miracle skincare ingredient at the heart of 47 Skin's award-winning products, was the turning point.
That simple gift eventually grew into 47 Skin, which is now one of the UK's fastest-growing beauty brands.

A cult-favourite product and number one bestseller in the 47 Skin range is the anti-blemish and scar repair serum.
Retailing from £26.40, the serum is available in 30ml, 50ml, 100ml and 300ml bottles.
This hardworking serum is also considered a must-have by former Made In Chelsea star Millie Mackintosh.
The Silver Chitoderm ingredient works by creating an invisible barrier over the skin, helping to kill 99.9% of breakout-causing bacteria, reduce the appearance of stubborn marks and lock in hydration.
While rival beauty products might tackle one issue, 47 Skin's formulas work to leave skin hydrated and protected.
