Here's what our community thinks
Dr Sam’s Flawless Neutralising Gel 11 ingredients
Helped control breakouts and made my acne flatter, but didn't help with clearing breakouts, redness, or dark spots. I used it for a while and it didn't do much for me. My redness and irritation only seemed to get worse the longer I used it—I don't think this product is for me.
