Skincare buffs swear by 'remarkably effective' gel that treats blemishes overnight
Skincare fans are praising Dr Sam's Flawless Neutralising Gel, a clinically formulated, dermatologist-developed skincare hero, for its ability to calm blemishes, tackle pigmentation, and reduce redness
There is nothing worse than a zit springing up the day before an important event. However, skincare enthusiasts and beauty editors alike are lauding a popular spot-busting product that promises to reduce blemishes in 24 hours, ideal for those times when fast action is imperative.
Dr Sam's Flawless Neutralising Gel is a clinically formulated and dermatologist-developed skincare marvel, celebrated for its ability to soothe spots, address pigmentation, and diminish redness. It boasts a trio of potent active ingredients, each designed to assist users in achieving a clearer complexion.
And for a limited time, new customers keen to try out the TikTok viral product can receive a complimentary 9ml Flawless Cleanser when purchasing the Flawless Neutralising Gel. Simply add the travel-sized cleanser (worth £9) to your basket and use code REACHFNG at checkout, and with the code, the cleanser will change to free of charge.
Fuelled by a powerful combination of Azelaic Acid, Salicylic Acid, and Bakuchiol, this targeted formula alleviates redness, reduces spot size, and aids in preventing future outbreaks. Azelaic Acid is a hero ingredient that unclogs 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 is a BHA exfoliant known for removing dead skin cells and reducing inflammation. However, it is crucial to remember that individuals allergic to aspirin should avoid using products containing this ingredient, reports the Manchester Evening News.

Product Description
A suitable alternative could be Dr Barbara Sturm's Ultimate Stinky Pimple Treatment, priced at £30, which is free from Salicylic Acid. This anti-pimple ointment is designed to alleviate pimples and blemishes, helping them subside more quickly from the first application.
Unlike conventional spot treatments that can be drying and irritating, the Flawless Neutralising Gel contains skin-nourishing squalane, providing an added boost of hydration to the formula. These ingredients work in harmony to promote clear, even-toned, and hydrated skin – and customers are witnessing rapid results. Notably, in a customer survey, 83% of users observed a visible reduction in blemishes overnight.
This skincare solution has garnered an impressive 4.62-star rating based on over 1,000 reviews. One customer commented: "The Neutralising Gel is my favorite, 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 customer shared: "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," said another. "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, 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 nighttime GP-prescribed retinoid. I can see this working for others but just wasn't the match for me!".
In contrast, another user added: "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!".
The product has also garnered praise from beauty editors, with ELLE describing it as 'remarkably effective'. They further endorsed it as "a wise investment for everyone, but especially those with rosacea, acne and sensitive skin."
Stylist magazine chimed in: "Unlike most other similar targeted spot treatments, this one doesn't ever dry skin out. It's perfect for applying make-up on top of too. A true revelation."
Dr Sam Bunting developed this innovative formula catering to the 40% of adults who struggle with blemish-prone skin, addressing a gap in the market where many acne treatments primarily target teenage skin.
It took 39 attempts and four years to perfect the formula, and Harley Street dermatologist and creator Dr Bunting insists on its efficacy with regular use. She explained: "Dr Sam's Flawless Neutralising Gel is a versatile treatment. While it's commonly applied directly to blemishes to target breakouts, it can also be used as an all-over serum to help prevent them. Additionally, it can be applied to areas prone to breakouts, such as the chin or cheeks. For hormonal acne, it's most effective when used consistently on problem areas like the chin or jawline to reduce inflammation and prevent future breakouts."
There are comparable treatments available in the market as well. Medik8's £25 Blemish SOS boasts a potent salicylic acid concentration (2%) for rapid blemish reduction, redness alleviation, and a clearer, healthier-looking complexion.
Meanwhile, La Roche-Posay's Effaclar A.I. Breakout Corrector 15ml offers a budget-friendly choice at £15, targeting oily, blemish-prone skin by combating imperfections and stimulating the skin's healing process.
For those interested, Dr Sam Bunting's Flawless Neutralising Gel is available for purchase here, with a complimentary cleanser included if you use the code REACHFNG. The promotion ends on June 13 at 23.59pm.
