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.

Dermatologist backed Yorkshire skincare brand 'clears skin in a week'
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.

This Morning Nadine Baggott's go-to Medik8 anti-ageing serum is 90% off in LookFantastic deal
LookFantastic has launched a limited edition Dermatological Edit worth over £170, containing 11 science-backed skincare products - including the Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3 Serum, which usually costs £49 There are few anti-ageing products as effective and revered as Medik8's Crystal Retinal. And now, the 'game-changing' skincare product, adored by This Morning beauty expert Nadine Baggott, is now available for a fraction of its usual price thanks to a deal with LookFantastic. The Medik8's Crystal Retinal 3, typically priced at £49, can be snagged for £4.55 as part of the offer. This comes as LookFantastic unveils a limited edition Dermatological Edit. Valued at over £170, this collection includes 11 scientifically-backed skincare products and is up for grabs for shoppers at £50 - £1 more than purchasing the Medik8 hero alone. With savings exceeding 70%, the edit boasts 'everything you need to enter your best skin ever era'. Customers can anticipate discovering a host of celebrity-favoured brands, such as Augustinus Bader, alongside expert-approved selections from [coat]s, First Aid Beauty and more, Manchester Evening News reports. The Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3 Serum is the brand's second highest strength Vitamin A skincare product. Ideal for beginners and sensitive skin, it promises to deliver gentle fine-line reducing benefits. The key ingredient in this anti-ageing formula is retinal, a next-generation vitamin A that works 11x faster than standard retinol. This night serum is clinically proven to visibly smooth stubborn wrinkles, brighten dark spots, decongest and firm your skin without causing irritation. The serum has racked up an impressive 4.8 star rating from over 5,000 reviews. Satisfied customers have been vocal about their experiences: one shopper described it as a 'game changer' for her skin, saying, "Absolutely love this product. It has been a game changer for my skin and it does not cause any irritation when used as per instructions." Another customer revealed her loyalty to the serum, stating, "One product I keep going back to. Works amazingly on my sensitive skin & is helping slow down those early signs of ageing." A third chimed in with praises: "My favourite product from Medik8. My skin is very dry and it helps rejuvenate it over night and reduce the fine line of wrinkles on my face." But not every review glows with positivity. One user faced some issues, remarking: "This might be a good product, but with my fair skin, the yellow colour of the crème is really yellow on my skin so cannot wear it during the day. And at night it stains my pillow cases, some of it washed out but not all of it. So I'm thinking it would make a good day time mask. But other than that I'm satisfied with results." Buyers should bear in mind that Medik8 Crystal Retinal is intended for evening use due to its vitamin A content. The noticeable colour stems from natural ingredients and it's been known to stain pillowcases. Medik8 advises applying the cream well before bedtime to let it sink in, and layering a moisturiser on top to help minimize staining. Skincare enthusiasts are in for a treat with the most thrilling bit being the Dermatological Edit box, packed with a treasure trove of items including an anti-blemish gel and a hydrating sheet mask. Peek inside to discover what you'll get in this skin-loving haul. Here's everything that's inside the Dermatological Edit. Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3 Serum (Full-Size) - Worth £49 Augustinus Bader The Eye Cream (Deluxe-Size) - Worth £32 Ameliorate Transforming Body Lotion (Full-Size) - Worth £24 Bioderma Sebium Kerato+ Anti-Blemish Gel-Cream (Full-Size) - Worth £18 Cetaphil Daily Defence Cream SPF50 with UVA/UVB Filters for Sensitive Skin (Full-Size) - Worth over £16 [coat]s Purifying Hydrating Clay Cleanser (Full-Size) - Worth £15 First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub with 10% AHA (Deluxe-Size) - Worth £11 Eucerin Hyaluron Filler Single Sheet Mask - Worth £9 CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser (Deluxe-Size) - FREE Gift La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Hyaluronic Serum (Deluxe-Size) - FREE Gift Vichy Mineral 89 Hyaluronic Acid Booster Serum (Deluxe-Size) - FREE Gift So far, the edit has received nothing but praise from LookFantastic shoppers. One said: 'Received this today and very pleased with it. I wanted to try the Medik8 retinal anyway so great value. Would highly recommend lots of great products to try. Includes a few minis but great for my hols!' Another added: 'I was so excited to see the medik8 3 in this edit, I had to have it! An absolute bargain for some incredible products I've tried and some I haven't as they're on the expensive side. I love LF edits as I get to try the more expensive products I wouldn't usually buy.' While a third penned: 'Really amazing set. My favourite is Medik8 for sure and cost as much as a box so no brainer. Looking forward to try sun protection as its new to me and other products I like already. One of the better sets.' In other beauty deals, esteemed heritage brand Elizabeth Arden has also reduced a number of skincare sets. The Prevage 2.0 Serum Turn Back Time 4-Piece Set is worth £248, but is now £130.65. According to the brand, the products help to visibly reverse ageing signs and protect against environmental damage for younger-looking skin. Marks and Spencer has launched a brand new beauty box containing 'over £130' worth of skincare and fragrance - but shoppers can snap it up for £30. The Made for an Icon Beauty Box stars seven items in total, three of which are full-sized, and is a great way to try a variety of brands for a fraction of their usual price.
