Chloe - Real Skin Stories

Chloe had struggled with her skin since high school, but it was during college that it reached its worst. Painful breakouts and redness affected her confidence, leaving her hiding at social events, worrying about photos and focusing more on her skin than her studies.

Applying for internships was particularly difficult. Chloe found herself worrying about how interviewers would perceive her rather than presenting herself as the best candidate. After trying countless products, she discovered 47 Skin and, with consistent use, began to notice less redness, swelling and scarring.

Now, as she finishes college and starts her career, Chloe feels much more confident putting herself out there. She can focus her energy on her studies, meeting new people and what comes next, rather than constantly worrying about her skin.

Thinking back to your time at school or college, what was your skin journey like? How did it make you feel, and what did you try to help it?

My skin was at its worst during college. I would stay hidden during social events and would be so nervous to be caught in a picture that showed my skin and its flare-ups. My self-esteem plummeted and I would spend more time worrying about how I looked and presented myself than the actual learning I was there to do. At times, I gave up hope and was left feeling pretty hard on myself.

Is there one particular memory that’s stayed with you from when your skin was at its worst?

During my internship year, I had meetings with all types of people. One time, when my skin had a major flare-up, I was meeting with a new department of people I had never met before. I remember feeling very low, assuming they would judge my character based on the look of my skin, and spent hours that morning doing anything I could to make it look better. I ended up upsetting myself further and falling into a bad mental state.

How did you first hear about 47 Skin, and what made you decide to give it a try?

My mom saw an ad for 47 Skin on social media, and after trying almost everything else I could get my hands on, I thought, what harm would it do to try one more? After around three months of using the Anti-Blemish & Scar Repair Serum, I started to see the redness and swelling improve. After using it for almost six months, I’ve noticed a huge reduction in areas that had previously been scarred, and I’m so happy with my skin today.

What’s life like for you now that your skin has improved?

Now that my skin has improved, I no longer leave the house each morning trying to cover my face and avoid conversation as much as possible. I’m a lot more confident in myself and my skin, allowing me to put more energy into my studies and the things I enjoy, without the constant nagging in the back of my head telling me to hide away and stay in the shadows.

What's your favorite 47 Skin product, and why will it definitely be coming with you?

My favorite 47 Skin product is the Moisturizer. While I use the Serum, Cleanser and Moisturizer each day and love every one of them, the Moisturizer leaves my skin feeling so smooth and hydrated. The consistency allows it to absorb into my skin rather than sitting on the surface, which makes it feel even better to use.
