There’s nothing more frustrating than being plagued by pesky pimples, but Dr Sam Bunting’s Flawless Neutralising Gel has been lauded as a ‘miracle product’ by shoppers who have seen their breakouts ‘eliminated’ by the formula. The skincare sensation, which has gone viral on TikTok, is being described as a ‘game changer’ for those with acne or blemish-prone skin.
With approximately 40% of adults facing the challenge of spot-prone skin, there’s a gap in the market since most acne-targeted products are aimed at teenagers. Recognising that adult skin has different requirements, Dr Sam Bunting formulated the Flawless Neutralising Gel with effective active ingredients that work to address adult skin concerns such as blemishes, acne, redness, and hyperpigmentation.
It boasts a potent blend of 5% Azelaic Acid for reducing redness and cleansing pores, alongside 2% Salicylic Acid to soothe inflammation and slough away dead skin cells. Additionally, it contains 0.5% Bakuchiol, often referred to as nature’s retinol, which helps prevent blemishes while providing moisturisation from its 5% Squalene content, ensuring skin stays hydrated.

Retailing at £30, this pimple-fighting formula has undergone 39 versions to perfect its formula, having been crafted to be gentle on a variety of skin types, minimising irritation, The Mirror reports. The Flawless Neutralising Gel has garnered nearly 800 five-star reviews, with fans raving about its effectiveness. One satisfied customer exclaimed, “A game changer for acne-prone skin!”
“I find this product so effective and really doesn’t dry out my skin like most acne products too,” said shopper Heidi. “It really is a miracle product, so happy to have found something that actually works!”
“Honestly, the most amazing product I’ve come across ever helps maintain a great skin barrier for those with sensitive or acne-prone skin while eliminating and preventing spots,” said Yasmin. “If there’s any product I’d recommend, it’s this one.”
Some customers have reported middling results, however. “I like the products although doesn’t seem to make a huge difference to my skin like it seems to for others,” said a three-star review at Trustpilot. “It is incredibly expensive also. The pilling is less than ideal but can be worked around but does sometimes make the skin feel pretty loaded especially once makeup is applied.”
The packaging and delivery have come in for some criticism as well. “I love the products but the packaging (for the cleanser especially) is rubbish,” said another TrustPilot review. “I have ordered it twice and both times the pump has fallen apart which is so disappointing for such a lovely product.”
If you wanted to trial the product before committing to a 30ml tube, a 7ml tester option is available for £9, and there’s a subscription service offering a 20% discount on the 30ml product every six weeks.
Another great option is the Medik8 Blemish SOS, which costs £25. But while it’s cheaper, it is a smaller 15ml tube, so it would be £50 for the same amount of product. The rapid-action treatment gel is formulated with maximum strength salicylic acid (2%) to quickly diminish the look of blemishes, calm visible redness and leave the complexion looking clear and healthy. It also contains anti-inflammatory niacinamide, antibacterial azelaic acid and dioic acid, which helps to decongest and control oil to prevent future blemishes.
In terms of other options, the Revolution Pro Miracle Vegan Collagen Cleansing Balm for £15 at Boots has got plenty of reviews citing its benefits. If you struggle with acne-related issues on your body rather than or in addition to your face, this Miracle Acne Body Cleanser is the way to go for £24.99 at Superdrug.
That said, with hundreds of five-star reviews, a unique formula, and an adult-focused design that caters to plenty of skin types, the Flawless Neutralising Gel is well worth a go if you struggle with blemishes.
