Eilidh - Real Skin Stories

The story behind Eilidh's skin transformation.

Eilidh's had sensitive skin since birth. She developed eczema as a baby and experienced the occasional 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 when she began experiencing painful breakouts 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 experiencing the emotional changes that came 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.

Changes to your skin during perimenopause and menopause are common, but they can feel overwhelming. Hormonal fluctuations can contribute to increased sensitivity, redness and breakouts, even for those who've never struggled with their skin before. Declining estrogen levels can also leave skin feeling thinner, drier and more sensitive.

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 featured real people with real skin. Their stories felt relatable and resonated with her, giving her the confidence to give it a try.

She ordered the Everyday Cleanser, Anti-Blemish & Scar Repair Serum, Daily Moisturizer and Super Hydrating Elixir and decided to give them a try. That Friday night, she started 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."
