Beauty buff finds skincare product ‘so effective’ she’s ditched a full face of makeup
“I began to feel way more confident to go out and train with just good skincare on rather than a full face of makeup.”

Although working up a sweat in the gym leaves us riding that endorphin high, the unfortunate combination of heat, friction and sweat wreaks havoc on our skin. Not only because it can leave skin feeling inflamed and irritated, but it can often cause breakouts, which can do quite the opposite for our confidence.
For high-performance rugby player and athlete Annabel, this was a situation she knew all too well and she suffered from painful, persistent spots throughout her late teens. This affected not only her skin but her self-esteem, ultimately forcing her to cover up during training sessions. She said: “I felt like I had to wear makeup everywhere – even to training and playing rugby.”
After discovering skincare brand 47 Skin, however, Annabel revealed how her breakouts cleared up, transforming both her complexion, her confidence and, in turn, her performance. She said: “I began to feel way more confident to go out and train with just good skincare on rather than a full face of makeup.”
She continued: “I don’t even worry about what my skin looks like anymore – I feel like I can push myself to be the player I want to be.”
47 Skin is a renowned skincare brand whose results have been astonishing thanks to its hero ingredient, Silver Chitoderm®. The brand states: “Powered by Silver Chitoderm®, our clinically tested ingredient, our routines help target 99.9% of breakout-causing bacteria, support the skin barrier and keep skin clear, calm and balanced.” This natural muco-adhesive ingredient functions by creating a ‘breathable, lattice-like layer on the skin’s surface’ to encourage healthy skin renewal and strengthen the skin barrier.
Get 10% off 47 Skin’s 3 Step Moisture Bundle
47 Skin has knocked 10% off its bundles until 30th April
Additionally, the brand is offering 10% off its bundles between April 1 and April 30, reports the Liverpool Echo.
For instance, the brand’s 2 Step Cleanse and Protect Bundle is now priced at £47.50 rather than £53 and includes its bestselling serum alongside an everyday cleanser. While the cleanser delicately removes impurities and unclogs pores to encourage clearer skin with its hydrating, non-stripping, soothing formula, the Silver Chitoderm® powered Serum aims to diminish spots, blemishes and persistent marks.
Recommended for morning and evening use, the pair has achieved impressive results within just four to six weeks – though some users notice improvements within days.
For those seeking a more affordable alternative, the Aveeno Face Calm and Restore Cleanser works well for people experiencing inflammation due to its prebiotic oat and soothing feverfew content. Priced at £7.12 at Boots (reduced from £9.49), it also helps maintain the skin’s moisture barrier.
Meanwhile, Face Theory is offering The Clear Skin Trio, perfect for breakout-prone skin, at £38.50, reduced from £55. The set includes the Claricleanse Exfoliating Cleanser, Supergel Oil-Free Moisturiser and Blemicalm Azelaic Acid 15% Clarifying Serum.
Skincare enthusiasts looking to enhance their entire routine can snap up 47 Skin’s 4 Step Skin Repair Bundle, now £104, down from £116. In addition to the previously mentioned cleanser and serum, it features the brand’s Silver Mask — which delivers a concentrated dose of Silver Chitoderm® and, according to 47 Skin, is ‘perfect for a quick fix in under 30 minutes — along with its Daily Moisturiser.
The moisturiser is a lightweight, oil-free formula designed to hydrate skin without blocking pores, a common concern many of us have with moisturisers. With the 4-step collection containing ingredients such as Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerin, Lactic Acid and Allantoin — plus Silver Chitoderm — skin is left exfoliated, hydrated, plumped, smooth, calm and balanced.
One user raved: “We’ve been using the cleanser and serum for just a couple of days and already a marked difference to my teenage boy’s skin. Less red and angry and no new breakouts. Excited to see where we are in a few months using the products.” Someone else stated: “It’s so worth a try – serum first then move onto other products. I’ve had problem skin since my teens, but now at 32 this is keeping my skin calm, smooth and clear. I have never used anything this good and I’ve tried all sorts. I also have very sensitive skin but this is so gentle and also smells great.”
Another shared: “I was absolutely shocked by the results. This serum is incredibly gentle, yet so effective. I have never seen my skin clear up this fast without any irritation. Normally, products that work quickly tend to dry me out or cause redness, but this one didn’t at all. I rarely leave reviews because I’m usually not that impressed, but this serum truly stands out.”
The brand doesn’t solely focus on facial blemishes, however, as its Body Moisturiser and Body Wash Bundle is ideal for those who struggle with back-acne and spots elsewhere on the body. Currently reduced to £56 from £62, the formulas contain Silver Chitoderm, 2% Salicylic Acid, Vitamin E and Ceramides.
While the overwhelming majority of feedback has been glowing, pricing appears to be the most common gripe amongst customers, with one shopper commenting: “There products are amazing but they could be a better size. There products help my skin clear up amazing I would love to try other things but I feel they a bit too pricey.”
However, the brand’s current 10% discount on bundles goes some way to addressing this concern. See its offers here.
