Yorkshire skincare brand loved by dermatologists gets shoppers 'compliments' on skin
The picturesque hills of Yorkshire may not be the first place you'd envision the next skincare revolution originating from, but a pioneering formula for radiant, healthy skin from one of Britain's rapidly expanding beauty brands originates not from London, Paris, or LA but from the rural landscapes of Yorkshire.
The unique ingredient in 47 Skin's products, which is claimed to eliminate 99.9% of bacteria causing breakouts, was unearthed by a group of local scientists working on a water purification scheme. Silver Chitoderm® was initially developed to purify water, not skin, but the formula was put on hold when mass production was impractical.
However, when founder Nic, battling with his skin for years, managed to get a jar of Silver Chitoderm® through his Grandma, who'd stumbled upon it at a market, it turned out to be the miracle potion he'd been seeking. Within four days, his skin cleared up, was soothed and remained moisturised for the first time in over ten years, and he was resolved to introduce this remarkable ingredient as a skincare lifesaver to the world.
Nic collaborated with the scientists to patent the formula, launching what would become 47 Skin - a brand now trusted by hundreds of thousands of customers and formulated, developed and produced locally in Yorkshire.
Silver Chitoderm® is reputed to combat bacteria that cause breakouts and deeply moisturise and soothe skin. Dermatologist-approved, clinically tested, and made in the UK, it forms the foundation of all 47 Skin products —and now customers can enjoy a 10% discount on skincare bundles that could be the solution to all their problems, reports the Mirror.
Among the offerings is a 2-Step Cleanse and Protect Bundle for £47.50, which includes a cleanser claimed to eliminate impurities on the surface and deep within the skin, unclogging pores and preventing breakouts. The serum forms a protective layer that renews skin cells and reduces blemishes.
Customers can also purchase the Complete Routine Bundle which includes a cleanser, a BHA exfoliant containing salicylic acid, a silver mask that should be left on for 20 minutes, an intensive hydration elixir, the aforementioned serum, a daily moisturiser, daily SPF 30 and a blue clay mask for £321 after the 10% discount.
While this brand boasts a unique special ingredient, other skincare bundles are available on the market. 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 garnered numerous positive reviews, with one shopper stating: "I have had nothing but a great experience so far with 47 Skin."
Another customer raved: "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, with quality products that work and customer service like theirs, drive customer loyalty. And I am one loyal customer."
However, as with any skincare product, results may vary, and not everyone may find 47 Skin's products effective. One person commented: "I received the goods quickly. However, I have emailed twice as the products have made no difference."
A separate buyer commented: "I've been using the everyday cleanser and serum 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."
The brand has a 4.3-star rating on Trustpilot, suggesting that 47 Skin might be the solution skincare enthusiasts are searching for, thanks to its unique formula and trusted reputation.

‘This affordable hair mask revived my dry bleached hair after one treatment'
If you're looking for a quick and affordable solution to dull, dry or damaged hair, Shopping Writer Meghan might have just the ticket with this 1-minute hair mask that costs less than £15 I've been on the hunt for the best hair care products to resurrect dry and damaged hair this year. As someone with bleached hair, ensuring my hair remains healthy and nourished can be difficult, especially after a trip to the hairdressers when my hair is at its most fragile. After trying various brands and products, there's one I come back to time and time again—OGX. They have a one-minute hair mask that's done wonders for my hair. I've used OGX shampoo and conditioners for years, but they've recently released a Bond Repair 1-Minute Treatment Mask that's set to revive dry and damaged hair in as little as 60 seconds. Now that's a bold claim to live up to, so I thought I'd put it to the test, and needless to say I'm impressed with the results. Currently retailing for an affordable £11.99 on Amazon, Boots, and Superdrug, this OGX Repair and Protect Bond Repair Mask promises to deliver rapid repair to damaged hair, providing shiny and smooth results that last. Boasting an innovative Bond Protein Complex, this repair mask is formulated with dual-action repair technology that rebuilds bonds in the inner hair cortex and binds to damaged sites on the hair cuticle to help keep hair strong, smooth, and resilient. The one-minute damage repair hair treatment mask is designed without sulfated surfactants to avoid exposing hair to more damage or strong chemicals. The mask deeply nourishes hair to reduce visible signs of damage for stronger and healthier locks. As instructed, I used this mask after shampooing and conditioning with my favourite OGX products; I tend to reach for the OGX Coconut Milk Shampoo and Conditioner (£4 each). I then applied a generous amount of the hair mask onto my hand and then worked it through to evenly distribute it into my damp hair from mid to ends. It's worth mentioning I have relatively short and thin hair, so I used a comparably small amount and practically covered all of my hair, though if you have longer or thicker hair, the amount you'll need will vary. You're then supposed to leave the mask on for one minute before rinsing it off and relishing the results. The first time I used the mask, I decided to put it on before going to bed, as I've found hair masks work best when left on for longer than the minimum amount. When I woke up and washed out the mask, my hair was unbelievably soft to the touch and felt healthier than ever. Especially during the hot weather we've been seeing through the spring and into the summer, dealing with dry hair can seem like an uphill battle, but this OGX hair mask transformed my dry and bleach-damaged hair overnight. Following this dazzling first impression, I opted to see what the results would look and feel like if I used the mask for one minute as directed. When compared to leaving the mask on for eight hours, the one-minute results were just as impressive. My hair looked shinier and healthier and felt smooth to the touch. What's just as impressive as the short treatment time is the minimal amount I needed to achieve these results. Costing an already budget-friendly £12, this hair mask is set to last for dozens of treatments while offering the same long-term results you'd expect to see from a salon treatment. It's not just me who loves this mask, as Amazon shoppers have bestowed plenty of 5-star reviews. One buyer beams: "The Treatment Mask is not too thick and has a really lovely scent. It made my hair soft and glossy without making it greesy. Highly recommended." Another shares: "Used this as a quick fix before a night out—worked a treat! Smoothed my split ends and made my hair look much neater without feeling greasy. Just a couple of pumps was enough, even for my thick hair. Small bottle, but it goes a long way. Great for last-minute touch-ups, though I wouldn't use it every day." And a third chimes in: "I love the OGX shampoo and conditioner range and have used quite a few of them, the coconut being a particular favourite. As my hair is bleached to within of its life, it needs all the conditioning it can get. I was therefore really keen to try out the OGX Bond Repair treatment. The treatment mask is applied just like any other hair mask. After shampooing and conditioning with your favourite OGX products, apply a generous amount of the hair mask into your palm and evenly distribute into damp hair from mids to end; leave in for at least one minute and rinse." They go on to add: " The mask is white and is of a creamy consistency and has a nice, subtle fragrance. After washing and conditioning, I apply the mask and tend to leave it on for the full duration of my soak in the bath, circa 30 minutes. The mask leaves my hair feeling really soft and silky, without leaving any greasy residue or weighing my hair down. I'm actually rather impressed with how well it deeply conditions my bleached damaged hair. As with all hair care products, results will vary from person to person depending on hair type and condition. All I can say is that my personal experience of using this product has so far been very positive." You can pick up the OGX Repair and Protect Bond Repair Mask for an affordable £11.99 on Amazon, Boots, and Superdrug.

'Michael Mosley's death changed my life - I'm free from pain explosions'
The shock death of Michael Mosley, whose legacy lives on through his transformative healthy eating advice, was the push Lorraine Kerr needed to finally change her bad habits The tragic news of Michael Mosley 's death this time last year forced Lorraine Kerr to put change into action. She had always been a fan of the TV doctor and heard about his popular diet plan two years ago, but was stuck in a rut of emotional eating. It was in June 2024 when the 55-year-old returned home from Greek-island hopping that sparked the start of a new journey of health and fitness. She too had been holidaying in Symi, the very same picturesque island where Dr Mosley had been staying and subsequently died. The health guru, known for popularising the 5:2 diet, was found dead in a rocky area of Agia Marina on June 5. He had said goodbye to his wife, Clare Bailey, at the beach before going alone on a two-mile walk, having left his phone at the hotel. Michael, 67, had taken a wrong turn and became lost. Police said he died of natural causes, and an inquest last December concluded his death was "most likely attributable either to heat stroke (accidental) or non-identified pathological cause". The shock news made Lorraine, who weighed 14-and-a-half stone and is now more than six stone lighter, want to honour the medic's lasting legacy. "I first heard about The Fast 800 by listening to Dr Michael Mosley 's podcast about two years ago," she told the Mirror. "I'd already put on a lot of weight and thought the plan would be a sustainable option for me, but at that point I wasn't ready to do anything. I've always been an emotional eater, and after losing both my mother and sister in a very short space of time, I found myself turning to sugary foods. It took a toll on my health and my GP said it had put me on the path to pre-diabetes." She added: "When the news broke about what had happened to him, it kind of galvanised me to stop dithering…and in a way I felt like I wanted to honour him and all the work he and his team had done." She began with The Very Fast 800 – the programme's most rapid weight loss approach, which involves up to 12 weeks of eating two to three Mediterranean-style meals each day, totalling approximately 800 - 900 calories per day. In those first 12 weeks, she dropped to 12 stone 5lbs. Today, she is just 6lbs away from her goal weight of 8 stone 4lbs. Much of that weight loss, says Lorraine, is the result of a complete change in her eating habits. A typical day of eating might have been an extra-large Danish pastry from a bakery at the end of her road, lots of coffee with cream and artificial sweeteners, a steak pie and a packet of crisps for lunch, plus several chocolate bar snacks or biscuits throughout the day and more coffee. Dinner was likely to be pizza or spaghetti bolognese – albeit homemade, as both Lorraine and her husband Nick enjoy cooking. However the new diet inspired Lorraine to embrace a lot more vegetables, particularly greens that she doesn't particularly enjoy. 'I found the first 12 weeks difficult at first," she said. "I was very hungry but absolutely determined and I knew there was an end to the very low calorie restriction. The galvanisation really helped me to get through it. 'I always loved the kale recipes, in particular the Harissa Greens and Halloumi, which featured largely during my 12 weeks and since. I didn't think I'd enjoy it, but I absolutely love it." Typical meals for Lorraine now that she has moved onto The Fast 800's maintenance approach - The Way of Life - include baked oats, pears and walnuts for breakfast, plenty of Greek yogurt, different kinds of salad for lunch, and healthier evening meals that might include oily fish, meatballs or even vegetarian selections. If she's on the go, she'll make use of pre-prepared meals such as The Fast 800 Dark Chocolate and Raspberry Protein Bars. Perhaps the biggest motivation for embracing her new lifestyle permanently is the huge improvement in IBS symptoms. 'The amazing thing was that within three days of starting the programme, my irritable bowel syndrome, which I'd suffered from for a couple of years, had vanished, and it's never returned.' Lorraine now believes her problems were as a result of consuming too many artificial sweeteners. 'This isn't scientific, but as a test I reintroduced some artificial sweeteners and within two to three days the symptoms came back and were quite severe. "When I stopped eating the sweeteners, the symptoms vanished again. I tried the same thing one more time to check and the symptoms returned straightaway and disappeared again as soon as I stopped…I've not had one day of IBS since I stopped eating artificial sweeteners after reintroducing them briefly." Lorraine, who takes the Pre + Probiotic supplement, has also seen other health improvements. Her fibromyalgia - long-term condition that involves widespread body pain - symptoms have improved along with back problems caused by Coccydynia – permanent inflammation of the coccyx. 'I used to get explosions of pain; sometimes so horrific I needed morphine. I haven't had one since around the six month mark, so my weight loss has really helped with that too.' Alongside her healthier eating, Lorraine also began regular exercise. She started slowly, five days a week with resistance training, HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training, which comprises fast-paced exercise in short bursts) and Pilates. 'My fitness was very poor and I was struggling to walk anywhere because of my weight. "I'm only 5ft and 1.5 inches with a very slight frame, so that was a lot of weight to be carrying around on a small person. It was really hard going just to do the basic level, but I lost quite a bit of weight in those first two weeks, which gave me the psychological push and my sleep improved too.' She now swims in the sea regularly and finds the 15 minute walk to and from the beach – including a steep hill on the way home, easy. 'I'm walking really quickly now. My body feels clearer and brighter. There are so many benefits,' she says. Lorraine is now adamant that the dramatic changes both to her body shape and health are not something she wants to reverse. 'It's had a massive impact on my wellbeing and health, so I'm really looking to make this a way of life because the changes have been so good. That's the whole point, isn't it?!' "I will be sailing past Symi at the end of next week so will give a silent nod to Dr Mosley and his lovely family - I can say I did it, I feel great, thank you."
