The story behind Eilidh’s skin transformation
Eilidh’s had sensitive skin since birth. She developed eczema as a baby and experienced the odd breakout in her teens, but things really changed in her 30s when she developed rosacea. “It was just horrible,” she recalls.
At 40, things took another turn, and her skin broke out with painful spots and deep blemishes. “I was so unprepared,” she says. “They were red, large and sore. Makeup just caked over them and made it worse.”
Already feeling the emotional changes that had come with turning 40, this new skin struggle hit hard. “It really knocked my confidence,” she admits. “You feel incredibly low. It doesn’t matter what your friends say - if you don’t feel good in yourself, nothing makes it better.”
Eilidh’s experience isn’t uncommon.
These changes are completely normal, but they can feel intimidating. During menopause, hormonal changes can trigger increased sensitivity, redness and breakouts, even for those who’ve never struggled with their skin before. Falling oestrogen levels can also make skin thinner, drier and more sensitive to change.
Months of disappointment, ended.
When Eilidh came across an ad for 47 Skin on social media, something immediately caught her attention. “The Silver Chitoderm® ingredient really stood out,” she says. She loved that 47 Skin showed real people with real skin. The stories felt relatable, they resonated with her and that gave me the confidence to trust it.
She ordered the Everyday Cleanser, Anti-blemish & scar repair Serum, Daily Moisturiser and Super Hydrating Elixir and decided to give them a go. That Friday night, she began her new routine. The next morning, she woke up amazed. “My skin felt so hydrated” she recalls, “by Monday, I could see a huge difference: it was softer, less red, no dry patches and the deep spots had already started to calm down.”
Real people, real results.
