Spot-prone teens praise 'life changing' skincare for boosting confidence
47 Skin can help teenagers avoid the stress of breakouts during the school year
Summer may have provided teenagers with a respite from school, but now term has started, some might be fearing more than just homework piling up: the resurgence of skincare issues. With this in mind, 47 Skin, a well-regarded beauty brand praised by reviewers for leaving their skin 'clearer and smoother,' is offering a 10% discount on its top-selling bundles in a back-to-school deal.
The 2-Step Cleanse and Protect Bundle, now reduced to £47.59 from £53, includes a daily cleanser to remove impurities and unclog pores. A serum also works diligently to diminish spots and stubborn marks while keeping skin moisturised.
For a more comprehensive routine, the 3-Step Moisture Bundle, now priced at £135 down from £150, pairs the aforementioned cleanser and serum with a daily moisturiser. It hydrates without blocking pores, making it perfect for complexions that are both prone to breakouts and dehydrated.

The brand's standout ingredient, Silver Chitoderm, is the scientifically supported secret here. It's proven to eliminate 99.9% of blemish-causing bacteria, fade the appearance of post-blemish marks and soothe angry breakouts – making it a potential lifesaver for those hoping to start the school year with a bit more skin confidence.
While 47 Skin touts this unique special ingredient, other skincare bundles are available on the market. The Ordinary's Essentials Bundle (£28.20, Boots) includes a hyaluronic acid daily moisturiser, a hyaluronic acid 2% and B5 hydrating serum, a squalane cleanser suitable for all skin types, and a niacinamide 10% + zinc 1% oil control serum, reports the Manchester Evening News.
47 Skin has launched a back-to-school sale, offering 10% off teen skincare.
Another alternative could be Lookfantastic's The Dermatological Edit (£50). This collection includes a Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3 Serum, an Augustinus Bader The Eye Cream, Ameliorate Transforming Body Lotion, Bioderma Sebium Kerato + Anti-Blemish Gel-Cream and more.
But 47 Skin has won over many users and racked up countless glowing reviews from young people who have battled problematic skin. Customer Annabel said: "Through my late teenage years, I began to struggle with acne, it started as a little bit on my face but then spread all over my face. It began to damage my self-confidence.
"I felt like I had always to be wearing makeup for it to be okay for me to go outside. I would wear makeup every day, both to school and to training and playing rugby.
"I began to see a real difference in my skin when I started to use the Serum. I began to feel confident enough not to wear makeup every day, only when I want to. This has truly changed my life."
Meanwhile, Laura said: "After my mum saw lots of positive reviews about 47 Skin, I decided to give it a try, and I'm so glad I did. After six months, my acne has definitely improved. I still get the occasional bad breakout, but it's nothing like before. My skin looks clearer, smoother and healthier overall."
Nevertheless, it wasn't effective for everyone, as this disheartened review said: "The products have not done the job they said they would."
On the other hand, a satisfied 47 Skin user named Ronnie said: "When I would look at my friends or just people in my school, people on social media, I noticed my skin wasn't as good as theirs, and I used to feel self-conscious, but now I feel more confident than ever thanks to 47 Skin."
