It's all about the bond.
Niacinamide is everywhere. It’s often recommended for:
- Redness
- Oil control
- Uneven texture
But here’s what most brands won’t tell you: Niacinamide doesn’t target the root cause of blemishes.
It’s primarily:
- A general skin-support ingredient
- Not designed to target blemish-causing bacteria
- Often too gentle for persistent breakouts
So while it may help improve overall skin appearance…
✕ It doesn’t actively target spots
✕ It doesn’t help fight breakout-causing bacteria
✕ It may not deliver fast visible results for blemish-prone skin
Introducing Silver Chitoderm®
A unique ingredient developed specifically for blemish-prone skin.
Not a trend ingredient. Not a cosmetic “nice to have.”
A targeted solution.
Why Silver Chitoderm® works differently.
Unlike niacinamide, Silver Chitoderm® is designed to:
- Helps reduce breakout-causing bacteria on the skin
- Supports the skin’s natural healing process
- Helps calm inflammation and visible redness
- Leaves skin feeling hydrated, never stripped
All in one step.

“Silver Chitoderm® kills bacteria, treats existing acne, and helps fade pre-existing acne scars. It decreases the production of melanin, which is often elevated in scars, reducing pigmentation over time. Unlike other acne treatments, it does not dry your skin but hydrates it, leaving the skin smooth and tighter. The combination of Silver and Chitoderm creates a unique adhesiveness to the skin, helping improve fine lines and overall skin appearance.”

Before
After
I have suffered with acne since I was 13. I’ve been on Isotretinoin three times. In summer 2023, my acne came back bigger and worse than ever. I wouldn’t leave the house without makeup, even just to go to the petrol station, I had to wear a full face. I was extremely low and feeling so fed up, especially when a dermatologist told me another round of Accutane was the only option. My mum could see how much it was affecting me and started researching other options. She found 47 Skin and got me a tiny sample. I didn’t think much of it, as I had tried so many skincare products before. But I noticed my skin really started to improve. I ended up buying another bottle and, over a year later, I’m no longer on any prescribed medication for my skin. I truly believe this product helped improve my acne, and I’m so happy I found it!
Before
After
I had acne from a really young age as a teenager and tried all the medications from the doctors. I was eventually referred to go on a strong medication that had quite harsh side effects. Luckily, my skin cleared up for a couple of years, but then my acne came back.
47 skin seemed to be the only product that would clear my skin up to be literally crystal clear. I started using their Serum and saw results within three weeks. That’s when you really see that your skin becomes absolutely clear from using the products.
It’s made me feel so much better about myself. I don’t have to worry about having spots all over my face. It’s really helped my confidence, and it’s lovely to celebrate my skin and feel so much better. It’s all I’ve wished for, for years, and it’s finally happened.
Before
After
It smells amazing, and it has helped with my confidence so much, I don’t have to wear as much makeup as before!

Frequently Asked Questions
Niacinamide is a popular ingredient, but it is not always the right fit for every skin concern. Some formulas can feel too basic, too strong, or simply not targeted enough for problem-prone skin.
47 Skin takes a different approach with Silver Chitoderm®, our unique ingredient designed to support a clearer-looking, calmer complexion while still feeling gentle on the skin.
Yes, but you may not need to. 47 Skin’s Serum is designed to be a more targeted step for skin that is prone to spots, blemishes, visible redness, and uneven-looking tone.
Start slowly and listen to your skin. If your current niacinamide serum is already part of your routine, you can introduce 47 Skin’s Serum gradually and use the combination that feels best for you.
Most niacinamide serums focus on one well-known ingredient. 47 Skin’s Serum is powered by Silver Chitoderm®, our exclusive complex created to support clearer-looking skin, improve the appearance of blemishes and marks, and help skin feel calm and hydrated.
It is designed for people who feel like regular niacinamide has not given them the visible results they hoped for.
Everyone’s skin is different, but in a consumer perception survey, 97% of users saw visible improvement in their skin in 30 days after using the Anti-Blemish & Scar Repair Serum.*
Some customers notice changes sooner, while others need more time and consistency. For best results, use it regularly and give your skin time to respond.
*Consumer perception survey of 100 users after 30 days of use. Results may vary.
It can be. If your basic niacinamide serum is not giving you the visible improvement you want, 47 Skin’s Serum is designed to be your next step.
It supports a clearer, more even-looking complexion while helping skin feel hydrated, soothed, and comfortable.
47 Skin’s Serum is designed for sensitive, problem-prone skin, and the Anti-Blemish & Scar Repair Serum is suitable for all skin types and all skin tones.
That said, every skin journey is personal. If your skin is reactive, start with a small amount, introduce it gradually, and patch test before full use.
