47 Skin founder Nic has launched a skincare line stocked in Boots after his grandmother sent him a cream containing Silver Chitoderm that cleared his skin in four days. The brand's best-selling Anti-Blemish & Scar Repair Serum is designed to prevent breakouts and reduce post-blemish marks.
From Grandmother's Package to Beauty Brand
Nic had struggled with his skin for over a decade and had tried many products without success. In 2017, his grandmother posted him a pot of cream containing a unique ingredient called Silver Chitoderm. After applying it for a few weeks, he noticed a 'remarkable difference' with blemishes disappearing and his complexion feeling firm and hydrated.
He said: "I suffered with spots & blemishes for over 10 years, and had tried what felt like every product and treatment under the sun. In 2017, my Grandma sent me a pot of cream through the post that contained a unique ingredient called Silver Chitoderm®. It cleared my skin in just four days. I was so amazed with the results, I tracked down the scientist behind the formulation, and founded 47 Skin."

Customer Reviews
One Trustpilot reviewer said: "Trial size Anti Blemish serum. My thoughts of here we go again. Another skin product to try on post menopausal blemishes - it actually works. My skin, especially my chin area, is looking much clearer. Will be purchasing more."
A second reviewer wrote: "My daughter has literally been using the 47 skin Anti Blemish & Scar Repair Serum for a couple of weeks and the results are amazing, it has prevented break outs and has started to clear her skin of blemishes. I am very impressed as she has tried numerous products over the counter and prescribed, some very harsh and never had such pleasing results, long may it last."
A third review said: "I've purchased the skin repair Anti Blemish serum trial and it's amazing, my skin loves it! Thank you, I'm buying more." One user noted in a mainly positive review: "Not giving 5 stars as my skin isn't totally clear yet but I think it is definitely on the right track!" Another commented: "I am post menopausal and struggled with rosacea, using 47 skin has helped my skin immensely. The anti blemish in particular helped using it morning and night. I have also started using their moisturiser."
