Yorkshire skincare brand shoppers 'wish' existed 'when my breakouts were bad as a teen'
Skincare is a top priority for many and almost everyone prioritising their skin health as part of a dedicated beauty regime. Finding the correct products that won't lead to irritation and problems can be difficult and for many it can be a frustrating time.
Now however, a beauty revolution has been born in the heart of Yorkshire - perhaps not where everyone would expect. 47 Skin, which has been named one of the UK's fastest-growing privately held businesses by The Sunday Times 100 List, for the second year in a row, now has a number of products which include their unique ingredient - Silver Chitoderm.
In 2024 the brand ranked 52nd on the list, and landed at 55th in 2025 - making it a full-circle moment for them as in 2003, founder Nic's father made the very same list.
Silver Chitoderm is an ingredient unique to 47 Skin and together the silver and the chitoderm bond create an invisible barrier, killing 99.9% of the bacteria that causes breakouts, the brand explains.
The brand's founder Nic explains that he had been suffering from blemishes for over ten years, before a parcel arrived out of the blue from his Grandma.

Product Description
He explains: "I'd tried what felt like every single product and treatment under the sun and spent thousands of pounds. Nothing worked. I even resorted to medication which led to a short period of depression. But in January 2017, Grandma sent me a pot of cream through the post with a handwritten note urging me to try it. I was sceptical, but to my complete surprise it cleared my spots and blemishes in just four days.""I was so amazed with the results that I tracked down and partnered with the scientist behind the formulation. Now our mission is to spread the word through our range of incredible products and skin-positive community. At 47 Skin, we understand exactly how spots, blemishes and skin concerns can make you feel from the inside out."
Shoppers can try a range of their products such as the Anti-Blemish & Scar Repair Everyday Cleanser for £29, which is used to help promote clearer skin, and leaves skin feeling silky soft and hydrated.
Another option is the Anti-Blemish & Scar Repair Silver Mask for £24 which is designed to soothe, brighten and reduce redness and inflammation. There's also a best seller, the Anti-Blemish & Scar Repair Serum for £29, which naturally soothes and protects skin and leaves it feeling soft and hydrated and another product is their Anti-Blemish & Scar Repair Daily Moisturiser for £34 which is a lightweight, oil-free daily moisturiser.
However, if this brand isn't for everyone, they could try others such as The Ordinary Essentials Bundle for £28.20 from Boots. This comes with a natural moisturising factors and 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 the Medik8 Blemish Sos 15ml from LookFantastic for £25 which is a fast-acting gel that dries invisibly and leaves no residue.
Shoppers have rated 47 Skin quite highly however as one person, Anna, said in June 2025: 'I love 47 skin and would recommend anyone with blemish prone skin to use it. I wish when my breakouts were bad as a teenager that 47 skin existed honestly."
Another named Gioia said: "It's the clearest my skin has looked in over 10 years."
Some others did share mixed reviews on Trustpilot however with one person saying: "It's made no difference at all to my skin after a month of using it."
"I really tried everything possible.. I tried a few different brands which didn't make much difference, then my friend recommended 47Skin and I absolutely love it! The quality is so good and I notice such a difference in my skin! I used to be so self conscious about going make-up free in summer/at the beach and now I feel so much more confident - definitely recommend!" said Zoe.

Boots sale drops £25 beauty bundle for 'soft and renewed' skin to £10
Boots has brought back its popular £10 Tuesday offers, and there are hundreds of beauty products on sale Boots' £10 Tuesday deals have made a comeback, offering customers the chance to snag bargains on a range of beauty items. One offer has seen an "amazing" skincare bundle slashed from £25 to £10. While each item in the bundle has received positive feedback, some shoppers have noted that the gloves may not be suitable for "not for sensitive skin" and there have been remarks about the flake away scrub being "heavily perfumed." For those seeking different options, LookFantastic offers the AMELIORATE Fake Tan Prep Bundle for £22.40 from £28. Elsewhere, Beauty Bay offers the Body Soothe, Smooth, Hydrate Ki t for £23.95 from £40, and Superdrug offers the So Eco Exfoliating Bath Set for £14.99. Despite other choices on the market, many shoppers love the Soap & Glory Exfoliating Tan Prep Essentials Bundle, which has earned an average rating of 4.7 out of five from reviewers. One fan praised: "Perfect for preparing summer skin! "Skin felt gorgeous afterwards." A second reviewer said: "I have been using this fabulous scrub for years. "I love it! It exfoliates as well as moisturising my skin at the same time! "It leaves my skin soft and renewed. I always stock up when it's on offer." Another fan shared: "Really love this product, my skin has never been so soft. Remains hydrated 24hrs. "I love the fragrance too. I've got at least 3 pots. "Love it when the offers are on." However, shoppers looking for a gentle exfoliating product may wish to look elsewhere, reports the Mirror. Someone wrote: "Great bundle, gloves are brutal, but leaves skin lovely and soft. Use the butter to soften feet, works wonders." A different shopper was unhappy the bundle was not presented as a gift set, writing: "Nice bundle but would be better if it was gift boxed." More criticism came from a reviewer who found the gloves were too large. They thought: "Gloves are too big and not for people with small hands." A shopper reviewing the gloves as an individual item also shared a similar concern. They claimed: "Very disappointed. I've used these gloves for ages so when my old ones finally bit the dust I purchased a new pair. "I have small hands and the old pair fitted perfectly but the new pair are so large they don't do the job they were intended for, they just slip around and almost fall off. I'm sorry to say I won't be purchasing them again." However, a review from a few months ago added: "Great for all over body exfoliation. Love these - on my 5th pair - although they do last for ages." More recent feedback said: "Bought for my 17 year old daughter, she loves them says they do a great job."

Boots shoppers say £10 Inkey bundle leaves skin 'nourished and glowing'
The beauty bundle is now more than half its usual price online - and shoppers are raving about the results Boots customers have been raving about a popular cleanser that "melts away" make-up whilst leaving "nourished and glowing" complexions behind. The product bundle has now been discounted in an online deal that cuts its regular price by more than half. Usually on sale for £21, The Inkey List Cleansing Balm and Pads Bundle has been slashed during the retailer's weekly flash promotion to just £10. This bundle has a 150ml tube of the popular Oat Cleansing Balm (worth £12) alongside three of the Reusable Cleansing Pads (worth £9). The oat-infused formula is described as "suitable for all skin types, including sensitive". It dissolves "all traces of make-up, including waterproof and long-wear products" and promotes a "nourished and more glowing complexion." The balm comes alongside a set of Inkey's dual-textured Cleansing Pads, offering two surfaces for "the ultimate clean". One side features a "super-soft" texture designed to dissolve cosmetics, SPF, and dirt, whilst the "lightly textured side" provides gentle buffing to "remove stubborn impurities and refine skin's appearance". Similar products are available elsewhere, including the B. Melting Cleansing Balm at Superdrug (£8.50 for 120g, reduced from £17) or the el.f. Holy Hydration! Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm (£10.88 for 56.5g on Amazon). However, fans of Inkey will be pleased to see the discount at Boots, available until July 23, reports the Mirror. The bundle has earned hundreds of five-star reviews from customers who were "hooked" on the product that "removes make-up fast" and offers "a soft, supple finish to your skin." Shoppers who experienced positive outcomes with this item have left priasse online. One said: "I really like this cleansing balm. It feels soft and smooth on the skin, and melts away dirt and sunscreen easily. After washing, my face feels clean but not dry or tight. It's very gentle and perfect. I use it every day and it never causes irritation. Will buy again!". Another added: "Great product - my skin has been so much better following the use of this product and my skin is looking so much healthier. Was having loads of breakouts prior and now my skin is great since I've been using this product." A third shared: "I love this cleanser. It cleans my skin thoroughly but leaves no dryness or tight feeling. It's super gentle but super effective, and I use it every day." Yet, not everyone was as impressed. A different user wrote: "I love this product so much, and I'm so disappointed that I never quite know what I'm going to get. Some tubes are more oily and others have granules in them, which I really don't want to use, and result in me wastefully throwing them out." And another warned: "I use to love this! This was my favourite cleanser but I think something has changed and there's more grit? It now just irritates my skin rather than cleansing it. Really disappointed." Build up points that you can keep track of in-store at the checkout, online through your account or via the Boots app. On your next shopping trip, you can use the value of your points instead of cash to treat yourself.

Skincare shoppers race to buy £10 firming Olay cream that was £30 just yesterday
Boots £10 Tuesday is back, and this week the event is set to save you a small fortune on anti-ageing skincare... If your skin is in need of a little lift (aren't we all?), this is one deal you won't want to miss. The Olay Regenerist Active Firming Day Face Cream and Serum, usually £30, has just dropped to a tempting £10 as part of Boots' 24-hour flash sale– that's a saving of £20 on one of Olay's cult-favourite anti-ageing formulas. Designed to hydrate, plump and visibly firm the skin, this silky cream/serum hybrid is ideal for anyone wanting to give their morning skincare routine a power-up without the hefty price tag. Shoppers also point out how they love the fact that it absorbs quickly and wears beautifully under make-up, too. Though the offer is only available today, Tuesday 22nd July, Amazon is currently rivalling the £10 offer with a £10 price tag of its own, giving skincare lovers an equally impressive 71% saving on the Olay buy. So what makes it a must-have? At the heart of the formula is Olay's signature amino-peptide complex, which works to support skin's natural renewal process, boost elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time. It also includes niacinamide (vitamin B3), a skincare hero known for brightening, smoothing and strengthening the skin barrier. In other words: it's doing a lot of heavy lifting for a tenner. Shoppers who have tried it are seriously impressed, with reviews praising everything from the lightweight texture to the noticeable results. One user raved: "Lovely serum. Soaks straight in and makes skin feel tighter and firmer. I've been using it every morning and have definitely seen a difference in just a couple of weeks." Another wrote: "I've used expensive serums before, but I keep coming back to this one. It makes my skin look fresh and more youthful." It's also had high marks for hydration, especially for mature or dry skin types. "It keeps my skin moisturised all day without feeling greasy. It's a perfect base under foundation too – my make-up goes on smoother," says another shopper. However, not all buyers scored it a perfect 5/5. One more balanced reviewer penned: "I have only been using it for 10 days it goes on easily nice texture but doesn't leave my skin as soft as the olay serum I used d before it early days." While this creamy serum is usually a more premium pick at £30, today's flash sale makes it the same price as a takeaway pizza, and we think your skin might thank you more for the serum. The catch is the deal is only live for 24 hours, so if your skincare stash is running low, now's the time to add it to your basket. Alternatively, if you want another anti-ageing cream suggestion around the same price, Ameliorate's Restorative Facial Mask is now £6.60 (down from £22) on Lookfantastic, and also has great hydration reviews from shoppers.
