Cosmetic dermatologist Dr Sam Bunting has launched a new moisturiser specifically designed for oily, combination, and blemish-prone skin, receiving widespread acclaim from users. The Flawless Moisturiser Balance, priced at £36, is already being described as 'an absolute game changer' by customers who have struggled to find a suitable product.
Targeted Formula for Problematic Skin
Dr Sam Bunting, who runs a Harley Street clinic, developed the moisturiser after repeatedly hearing patients say they avoid moisturisers because they cause breakouts or feel too heavy. The new formula is non-comedogenic, meaning it won't clog pores, and is fragrance-free. It contains 2% Sunflower Sprout Extract (SSE), which clinical trials by Professor Mark Birch-Machin of Newcastle University showed reduces UV-induced damage to mitochondrial DNA in human skin cells by 34% and maintains cellular energy reserves by 18%.
Clinical Results and Customer Feedback
Clinical testing on 32 individuals with oily, combination skin over two weeks found that 100% agreed the moisturiser provided hydration without blocking pores, and 97% reported that stressed and sensitive skin felt calmed. The product has a 4.84-star rating out of five. One reviewer said: 'I've used Dr Sam's moisturizer for about 5 years now and I love it, but I think I love moisturiser balance even more. It feels so hydrating but absorbs straight away.' Another user with sensitive, acne-prone skin commented: 'This moisturiser is perfect for me. It's lightweight but still leaves my skin feeling hydrated without being greasy.'
Key Ingredients and Benefits
In addition to SSE, the formula includes 3% Silymarin to protect against oxidative stress, 1% Ectoin to calm reactive skin and enhance hydration, ceramides to fortify the skin barrier, and Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract to reduce redness. The lightweight texture absorbs quickly and leaves no greasy residue, working well with retinoids and other active ingredients.
One reviewer noted that the moisturiser does not blend as effectively with tanning drops, but praised it as a great base for SPF and makeup. Dr Sam Bunting said: 'Flawless Moisturiser Balance is the product I've wanted to create for every patient who walked out of clinic without a moisturiser because nothing on the market felt right for their skin.'
