Beauty fans, including social media icon Saffron Barker, are raving about a ‘must-have’ face mask that’s been given a doctor approval for helping clear skin. The 47 Skin Anti-Blemish and Scar Repair Silver Mask starts at £21.60 with a subscription and has garnered a dedicated following.
The mask features Silver Chitoderm or ‘Formula 47’, which is clinically proven to eliminate 99.8% of bacteria, reduce inflammation, and promote skin cell regeneration, all while being gentle and moisturising. Despite being relatively unknown in the skincare world, it comes highly recommended by a dermatologist.
Former Strictly Come Dancing star and YouTuber Saffron Barker is a fan, too, as she claimed that the mask delivers ‘insane’ results and has become a staple in her beauty routine. Dr Chopra, founder of the London Dermatology Centre, praised the ingredient: “Silver chitoderm forms a muco adhesive barrier and forms a lattice-like structure of the skin whereby it causes the skin to regenerate rapidly.

“It kills bacteria, it also treats existing acne and also helps the fading of pre-existing acne scars.” With an impressive average score of 4.8 out of 5 from 295 reviews on Trustpilot, customers are sharing their love for the product.
As one shopper said: “I’m obsessed with this mask. I highly recommend it actually makes scars lighter and a plus, the peel is so good and smells heavenly.”

Another happy customer said “I loved this product and can see myself repurchasing. Simply because I think it is very good at removing blackheads. Whether it’s the peel-off action or the silver content, I do not know, but it works for me.
“The only gripe is it should come with some type of applicator. I used one from another product, as I don’t agree with dipping my fingers in for hygiene reasons, and the product is very, very gloppy” as reported first in the Manchester Evening News.
A third said: “The most amazing face mask, it leaves my skin feeling fresh with an amazing glow! 100% Must have product.”
However, not everyone is over the moon, as there have been complaints from some customers about adverse reactions to the mask. It’s always crucial to patch-test new skincare products on your arm to avoid and identify any possible negative reactions.
The Beauty of Joseon’s Ground Rice and Honey Glow Mask, priced at £15.50 at Boots, is touted for its ability to brighten the complexion, though it lacks silver chitoderm or potent anti-acne accolades. For those seeking to diminish scar visibility without committing to a face mask, silicone tape has been suggested as an effective alternative, available on Amazon for £17.99.
