Speaking to FEMAIL, founder Eli Cohen, 29, of Leeds, told how he founded SKINKISSED in 2017, shortly before his daughter was born, and is now on track to turnover £9.7million this year. 

The business has seen a boost in popularity since the start of the coronavirus crisis as shoppers look for products online while stores are closed. 

Mr Cohen, who is married to wife Esther, 25, estimates he has sold one product every 30 seconds and says sales figures are up by 250 per cent. 

Before he created SKINKISSED, the entrepreneur was selling products from other brands through Amazon, including remote control helicopters. 

However he longed to have his own products to invest in, realising that he ultimately stood to have greater longevity.

She wrote: ‘My skin quickly became very infected. Once I managed to get my skin under control, I started using this serum to heal my skin. 

‘I’ve been using it daily for a week now and I can’t get over the results. I still have a few spots/blemishes however my skin looks less aggressive. I’ve also used it as a primer and it makes my makeup stay on all night! Absolutely amazed.’ 

Another wrote: ‘The formula is so soothing to the skin and I haven’t broken out once from it. So if you have sensitive skin like me then you don’t need to fear this.’
