A high-performance athlete tried 47 Skin to help with her skin concerns and says her confidence and comfort have since improved — and the brand’s bundles are currently 10% off
Breaking into a sweat, whether through an intense workout or competitive sport, typically makes us feel absolutely brilliant – thanks to those wonderful endorphins. However, sadly, combining perspiration, heat and friction can frequently leave our skin feeling inflamed, irritated and susceptible to breakouts, which makes us feel more self-conscious than ever.
This proved true for elite athlete Annabel, who suffered from painful, stubborn spots during her late teens, which affected not only her complexion but her self-assurance as well, compelling her to conceal herself during training sessions, reports the Liverpool Echo. She explained: “I felt like I had to wear makeup everywhere – even to training and playing rugby.”
Nevertheless, after discovering skincare brand 47 Skin, she shared how her spots cleared up, transforming not just her skin but her self-esteem too – which in turn, boosted 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 explains: “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 ingredient is a natural muco-adhesive and works by forming a ‘breathable, lattice-like layer on the skin’s surface’ to support healthy skin renewal and reinforce the skin barrier.
What’s more is the brand is currently offering 10% off its bundles between April 1 and April 30. This means everyone – including those who love exercise but hate the breakouts it tends to cause – can achieve a new personal best for their skin for less.
For example, the brand’s 2 Step Cleanse & Protect Bundle now costs £47.50 instead of £53 and features its best-selling serum as well as every day cleanser. While the cleanser gently removes impurities and unclogs pores to promote clearer skin with its hydrating, non-stripping, soothing formula, the Silver Chitoderm® powered Serum is designed to reduce spots, blemishes and stubborn marks.
To be used morning and evening, the duo has garnered impressive results in just four to six weeks – although some people notice changes in just a few days. For those who need a more budget-friendly option, the Aveeno Face Calm and Restore Cleanser is great for those who struggle with inflammation thanks to its prebiotic oat and calming feverfew inclusion. Costing £7.12 at Boots (from £9.49), it also helps preserve the skin’s moisture barrier.
Elsewhere, Face Theory is offering its The Clear Skin Trio, which is ideal for breakout-prone skin, for £38.50 down from £55. It contains the Claricleanse Exfoliating Cleanser, Supergel Oil-Free Moisturiser and Blemicalm Azelaic Acid 15% Clarifying Serum.
Skincare buffs who want to amplify their entire skincare regime, 47 Skin’s 4 Step Skin Repair Bundle in down to £104 from £116. Alongside the previously mentioned cleanser and serum, it also contains the brand’s Silver Mask – which contains a concentrated dose of Silver Chitoderm® and, as 47 Skin states, is ‘perfect for a quick fix in under 30 minutes – and its Daily Moisturiser.
The latter is a lightweight, oil-free cream that’s designed to hydrate skin without clogging up pores, which many of us experience when it comes to moisturiser. With the 4-step set containing ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerin, Lactic Acid and Allantoin – alongside Silver Chitoderm – the skin is left exfoliated, hydrated, plumped, smooth, and 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.”
It’s not just facial blemishes the brand targets, either, as its Body Moisturiser & Body Wash Bundle is perfect for those who experience back-acne and spots on other areas of their body. Now costing £56 from £62, its formulas contain Silver Chitoderm, 2% Salicylic Acid, Vitamin E and Ceramides.
With so many positive experiences, one of the only negative comments we’ve seen have been regarding the brand’s pricing, with one person saying: “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.”
Although, the brand’s current 10% off deal on bundles is a helping hand with this. See it’s offers here.
