Winter can be tough on skin. Dropping temperatures, harsh winds and indoor heating strip away moisture and weaken the skin barrier, often leading to dryness, sensitivity and unexpected breakouts. 

47 Skin is developed with dermatologists and backed by clinical testing, 47 Skin focuses on restoring balance while actively targeting the bacteria that cause blemishes without over-complicating your routine.

At the heart of every 47 Skin product is Silver Chitoderm, a unique, patented ingredient exclusive to the brand. By bonding Silver with Chitoderm, 47 Skin creates an invisible protective barrier on the skin that kills 99.9% of breakout-causing bacteria while remaining gentle and non-irritating. 

This intelligent shield helps calm inflammation, support the skin barrier and keep skin clearer for longer, making it especially effective during winter when skin is more vulnerable.
