‘Life saver. When you get that irritating break out just as something important is on your calendar, use this,’ one shopper insisted
With temperatures set to trend downwards in the coming weeks as autumn arrives, those who suffer from skin issues may be dreading the months ahead. Switching repeatedly from the cold air outside to the cosy central heating indoors can wreak havoc on complexions, resulting in the reappearance of dryness, irritation and breakouts.
Skincare shoppers have turned to one product that has been hailed as a “life saver” when it comes to treating blemishes, redness and inflammation. Dr Sam’s Flawless Neutralising Gel is designed to tackle all manner of skin problems while leaving skin brighter and more hydrated, helping to prevent future breakouts with regular use, according to the award-winning brand.
Priced at £30, the gel is made with 5% azelaic acid which “visibly tackles pigmentation and redness, clears clogged pores, and reduces the appearance of blemishes”, cosmetic dermatologist Dr Sam Bunting claims, as well as 2% salicylic acid to help calm inflammation and exfoliate dead skin cells. It also includes 0.% bakuchiol, a seed extract that “helps defuse blemish-prone skin and reduce the visible signs of premature ageing”.

To apply the Flawless Neutralising Gel, the brand advises protecting delicate areas after cleansing by applying moisturiser around the eyes and balm to the lips, before starting with half a fingertip of the gel across problem areas. It’s recommended to build up gradually to a fingertip amount daily over the course of two to four weeks, massaging until fully absorbed and then applying moisturiser and sunscreen on top as needed.
The gel can be used directly to blemishes to target breakouts or as an all-over serum to help prevent them, making it a handy addition to skincare routines in the upcoming autumn and winter months. And with more than 1,200 reviews on Dr Sam’s website, the gel has earned an average rating of 4.6 out of five stars.

Dr Sam’s Flawless Neutralising Gel is designed to tackle all manner of skin problems while leaving skin brighter and more hydrated, helping to prevent future breakouts with regular use.
Elsewhere, the bestselling product designed to treat spots over at Boots is Clinique Anti-Blemish Solutions Clarifying Lotion. Priced at £26.50, this mattifying exfoliation lotion is formulated to reduce excess oil that can lead to breakouts while unclogging pores and controlling excess shine, says Clinique.
At Sephora, meanwhile, the number one favourite being snapped up by shoppers is Tower 28 SOS Daily Hypochlorous Acid Spray for Sensitive Skin. Priced at £28, this daily facial spray is described as “purifying” stressed-out skin, helping to calm visible irritation and redness.
Back with the Flawless Neutralising Gel, Dr Sam vows: “This is the product that solves your biggest concern – unstable, unhappy, breakout-prone skin. It’s a bright, clear complexion – bottled!” And the gel has impressed hundreds of shoppers.
One wrote in a five-star review: “The most gentle spot treatment I have found. As a long term sufferer of adult spots thanks to PCOS I have tried so many different brands to help with the spots. This does the trick gently and does not dry out skin.”
Another said: “I can’t live without this – it reduces redness, texture and generally makes my very sensitive skin smoother and more comfortable. I cannot recommend it more.”
A third person praised: “Holy grail, 10/10. Didn’t have massive hopes but this gel is absolutely amazing and did exactly as described.”
And someone else agreed: “Life saver. When you get that irritating break out just as something important is on your calendar, use this. Brilliant.”
However, one reviewer commented: “Would have preferred a faster-acting product with more obvious results. It took a good three days to see any reduction in spots.”
The brand responded: “We’d like to reassure you that improvement will take time and patience and won’t happen overnight.”
Others reported that the Flawless Neutralising Gel left their skin looking “clear and radiant”, with one saying it was “the only product I’ve found that seems to actually make a difference”.
