Yorkshire nan cleared up grandson's skin 'in four days' with special ingredient
Skincare is a top priority for many, with most people prioritising their skin health as part of a dedicated beauty regime. However, finding the right products that won't cause irritation can be a challenge and often leads to frustration. But now, an unexpected brand has emerged from the heart of Yorkshire. 47 Skin, named one of the UK's fastest-growing privately held businesses by The Sunday Times 100 List for two consecutive years, offers a range of products featuring their unique ingredient - Silver Chitoderm. In 2024, the brand ranked 52nd on the list, and in 2025 it landed at 55th - marking a significant milestone as the founder Nic's father had also made the same list back in 2003. Silver Chitoderm, exclusive to 47 Skin, forms an invisible barrier when combined with silver, killing 99.9% of the bacteria that causes breakouts, according to the brand. Nic, the founder of the brand, explains that he had been battling blemishes for over a decade before a surprise parcel from his grandmother changed everything, reports the Mirror. He shared: "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." He added: "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." There are a range of products available for shoppers, including the Anti-Blemish and 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 and 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 and 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 and Scar Repair Daily Moisturiser for £34 which is a lightweight, oil-free daily moisturiser. However, if this brand doesn't suit everyone, alternatives such as The Ordinary Essentials Bundle for £28.20 from Boots could be considered. This bundle includes a natural moisturising factors and hyaluronic acid daily moisturiser, a hyaluronic acid 2% and B5 hydrating serum, a squalane cleanser suitable for all skin types, and a 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. 47 Skin has received high praise from shoppers, with one customer, Anna, stating 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 customer named Gioia said: "It's the clearest my skin has looked in over 10 years." However, there were mixed reviews on Trustpilot, with one person saying: "It's made no difference at all to my skin after a month of using it." Zoe shared her positive experience: "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!" 47 Skin products are available on their website.

Billionaire owner of the Los Angeles Times says he will take the newspaper public in the coming year
LOS ANGELES — Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, the billionaire owner of the Los Angeles Times since 2018, said this week that he intends to take the newspaper public in the coming year. During an interview on Monday's 'The Daily Show With Jon Stewart,' Soon-Shiong said the move would allow the Times 'to be democratized and allow the public to have ownership of this paper.' Soon-Shiong said he's working with 'an organization that's putting that together right now.' He didn't identify the organization or say whether the deal would involve an initial public offer to sell shares of the company or another investment arrangement. 'Whether you're right, left, Democrat, Republican, you're an American. So the opportunity for us to provide a paper that is the voices of the people, truly the voices of the people, is important,' he said. Soon-Shiong, a biotech billionaire, acquired the Times as part of a $500 million deal, returning it to local ownership two decades after the Chandler family sold it to Tribune Co. Soon-Shiong's purchase raised hopes after years of cutbacks, circulation declines and leadership changes. But like much of the media industry, the Times has continued to face financial difficulties, losing money and subscribers. Last year the company said it would lay off at least 115 employees — more than 20% of the newsroom — in one of the largest staff cuts in the newspaper's history. Also in 2024, executive editor Kevin Merida suddenly stepped down after a 2 1/2-year tenure at the newspaper that spanned the coronavirus pandemic and three Pulitzer Prizes, as well as a period of layoffs and contentious contract negotiations.
