This time last year, I wouldn’t even open the front door or the blinds without wearing makeup, let alone go out. When I did leave the house, I wore a full face and still felt embarrassed and uncomfortable. My skin was constantly on my mind, and it affected everything I did.

I was at my wits’ end with my skin and felt like I’d tried everything. I’d spent years dealing with acne and rosacea, and no matter what I did, nothing seemed to work. I remember being a bridesmaid for my friend and standing in front of the mirror the day before her wedding, just sobbing. My skin was bright red, covered in breakouts, and I felt completely defeated.

I first came across 47 Skin after seeing an advert on Facebook and thinking, “I’ll try anything.” I ordered a few different brands for troubled skin, but 47 Skin was the one that stuck. Over time, I simplified my routine and only used those products.

Now, I feel so much more confident. It feels like a huge weight has been lifted. I can leave the house with minimal makeup on, take my children swimming without worrying, and feel comfortable in my own skin again. I love experimenting with makeup when going out with the girls, and now I actually enjoy the end result instead of trying to hide.

My acne was very severe for several years, and I tried so many different options, including products available on the market and prescription skincare from my GP. Nothing ever seemed to suit my skin, and it really affected how I felt about myself.

I started using a sample size of the Treatment Serum and decided to stay consistent with it. Over time, I began to notice my skin feeling calmer and the appearance of breakouts becoming less intense. As I continued using it, my skin started to look more even, and I felt more comfortable overall. I also used the body moisturiser on areas where I struggled with breakouts, which helped me feel more at ease in my skin.

The biggest change for me has been how I feel. My confidence has grown so much, and I no longer feel as low or self-conscious as I once did. Feeling more confident in myself has had a positive impact on my life in general, including how I approach social situations and relationships.

Being able to feel comfortable, confident, and happy again has meant more to me than I can explain. Finding a routine that supports my skin and helps me feel more like myself has made a huge difference to my everyday life.

My name’s Abigail. I’m 33 years old and a mum of two, and my skin hit rock bottom after my first child. After years of trying everything and spending a small fortune on lotions and potions from the high street, beauty salons, and different creams, tablets, and advice from doctors, I eventually gave up. I was told the only thing that might help would be retinoids, which I didn’t want to go down the route of.

I’m naturally very sceptical of ads online. You see so many so-called miracle products and dramatic transformations that are hard to believe or trust. But after looking into 47 Skin more deeply and reading other people’s experiences, I decided to give it a go.

I honestly couldn’t believe how my skin felt after the first application. The irritation I’d been living with for years felt calmer, and that bruised, bubbling sensation under my skin eased. Over time, my skin began to feel more comfortable and look more balanced.

After struggling with body image post-pregnancy and then dealing with my skin for four years on top of that, this made such a difference to my confidence. It feels like a huge weight has been lifted, knowing I’ve found products I can rely on and that genuinely support my skin.
