Doctor-approved moisturiser that's so 'effective' it's won five awards
Doctor-approved moisturiser that's so 'effective' it's won five awards Dr Sam's Flawless Moisturiser Intense is suitable for dry and sensitive skin, and has won multiple awards - it's no wonder beauty buffs can't get enough of it Doctor-approved 'intensely moisturising' face cream hailed a 'lifesaver' for mature skin (Image: Dr Sam's) Beauty enthusiasts looking for a dermatologist-approved skincare regimen without the hefty price tag of a private consultation may want to consider the skincare brand, Dr Sam's. Founded by Dr Sam Bunting, a former NHS doctor who now operates her own private skin clinic on the prestigious Harley Street in London, Dr Sam's aims to provide 'dermatologist-adjacent' routines without requiring a prescription. Among Dr Sam's top sellers is the Flawless Moisturiser Intense, which is ideal for those with dry and sensitive skin, particularly as we approach the colder seasons. The Flawless Moisturiser Intense is adored by beauty editors and skincare enthusiasts alike, and it's easy to see why. Designed to deliver results in just 60 seconds, the moisturiser has bagged an impressive array of awards including the Best Healing Moisturiser in Woman and Home Magazine as well as the Best Barrier Repair in Red Magazine, both in 2024. For money-saving tips, sign up to our Money newsletter here The Flawless Moisturiser Intense is clinically proven to repair the skin barrier after just one application. This potent moisturiser deeply hydrates, soothes and supports even the most temperamental skin almost instantly without blocking pores. Moreover, it blends seamlessly with sunscreen and makeup, simplifying your morning routine. The innovative moisturiser utilises the power of sunflower sprout extract (SSE), a breakthrough ingredient that naturally boosts NAD+ levels in the skin to speed up cellular renewal, reports the Manchester Evening News. The formula is further boosted with a potent combination of ectoin, squalane, ceramides, and glycerin. Shoppers have hailed the Flawless Moisturiser Intense as a 'lifesaver' (Image: Dr Sam's) These components collaborate to halt moisture loss, provide intensive hydration, and strengthen the skin's natural barrier for enduring comfort and durability. Our colleague at the MEN had the opportunity to speak with Dr Sam in March when the brand launched in Sephora outlets, and she advocates using the moisturiser as the third stage (hydrate) alongside the three other fundamental skincare principles. "There's cleanse, activate, hydrate and protect", Dr Sam outlined. "I don't believe in unnecessary steps and I don't believe in skincare that's entertainment," she stated. Regarding the launch of the Flawless Moisturiser Intense in 2023, she remarked: "This heals dry, sensitive and redness-prone skin from the inside out in a cosmetically elegant formula. The Flawless Moisturiser Intense is 'perfect' for those with sensitive skin (Image: Dr Sam's) "Unlike those other heavy, gloopy and clogging face cream that wreak your makeup and stain your pillowcases, get ready to glow with the product you didn't know you needed." Meanwhile, a 50ml jar of La Roche-Posay Nutritic Intense Moisturiser Riche is available at Boots for £24. Alternatively, customers can purchase the Clinique Moisture Surge Intense 72HR Cream 50ml for £42 at LookFantastic. Perfect for dry and extremely dry skin conditions, the nourishing face cream provides sustained hydration to parched-feeling skin. At Dr Sam's, the Flawless Moisturiser Intense has garnered an impressive average rating of 4.6 out of five from a total of 1,390 reviews. A pleased customer remarked: "Having a slightly more mature skin I love how this glides on and makes your skin feel really hydrated." Another user commented: "Using this product every morning and night, I have combination dry mature skin. "I am 64-years-old. I use brightly eye and face first, then intense moisturiser. I have so many compliments about my skin. Definitely continue to use these products. "Truly a great moisturiser for very sensitive skin," was the verdict from another individual. "My neck is hypersensitive to many skin ingredients. Dr Sam's was a lifesaver. A nice thick moisturizer that really protects skin from irritants.. highly recommend anyone to try." However, one shopper gave the Flawless Moisturiser Intense just three stars, expressing disappointment: "Seven days of using this moisturiser and I've noticed no real difference. "I'm disappointed as it was reviewed as a great cream for dry skin." Yet another customer expressed satisfaction with their latest acquisition from Dr Sam's, stating: "I love this moisturiser. I have very sensitive skin with eczema but I'm also prone to breakouts. "This moisturiser is the only one I've found that is soothing enough to help with the dryness and redness, but also doesn't feel heavy or break me out. It is expensive but worth it to be honest."

Dr Sam's Flawless Neutralising Gel costs £30 for a 30ml tube and is a clinically formulated and dermatologist-developed skincare product renowned for its ability to soothe blemishes, tackle pigmentation, and diminish redness. It boasts a trio of powerhouse active ingredients, each designed to help users achieve a clearer complexion.

Azelaic Acid is a hero ingredient that clears blocked pores, fades pigmentation, and soothes redness, while bakuchiol - also known as nature's retinol - helps calm blemish-prone skin and even tackles early signs of ageing. Salicylic Acid, a BHA exfoliant, is excellent for removing dead skin cells and reducing inflammation, but may not be suitable for those allergic to aspirin. For anyone seeking an aspirin-free option, Dr Barbara Sturm's Ultimate Stinky Pimple Treatment, priced at £30, stands out as a viable alternative, as reported by the Manchester Evening News. This treatment specifically targets pimples and blemishes, helping to diminish their appearance quickly from the initial application. Dr Sam's Flawless Neutralising Gel £30 Dr Sam's Buy here Product Description Shoppers can get a free cleanser with the Flawless Neutralising Gel by entering the code REACHFNG. What sets the Flawless Neutralising Gel apart from typical spot treatments is its non-drying, gentle formula enriched with squalane to enhance hydration. Customers who've tried it have noticed rapid improvements in clarity, tone, and moisture levels of the skin. An impressive 83% of users reported seeing their blemishes visibly reduced after just one overnight use according to a survey. Already earning a stellar 4.62-star average from over 1,000 reviews, the skincare product has been hailed as a game-changer. A satisfied customer praised: "The Neutralising Gel is my favourite, as a lot of spot treatments tend to be irritating and harsh on my skin. This one is gentle, yet delivers results. Thank you so much Dr Sam." Another buyer shared their experience: "I've always struggled with breakouts but since using this, they are less frequent and it prevents them getting to the pimple stage as well as becoming inflamed. It immediately takes the redness down after one application and I couldn't be without this gel now." Like all skincare products, it won't suit everyone, and one user left a two-star review, stating: "Unfortunately, the Neutralising Gel did not work for my skin. My skin became very dry and flaky. I tried using it in the mornings and slowly introducing it into my routine, but I think my skin is too sensitive for it to be used along with my night-time GP-prescribed retinoid. I can see this working for others, but it just wasn't the match for me." In contrast, another customer raved: "The change in my skin since using the Neutralising Gel is amazing. My skin looks less red, feels great to use, and any breakouts are so much easier to control - highly recommend."
