Flawless Moisturiser Edit

The Flawless Moisturiser Edit is your complete moisturiser wardrobe in one curated trio. It brings together all three Flawless Moisturisers in convenient mini sizes, giving you the freedom to dial hydration up or down depending on what your skin needs that day.

Flawless Moisturiser Balance is for when skin feels oily or breakout-prone. It provides lightweight, fast absorbing hydration and barrier support that sits beautifully under make-up, making it ideal for oily, combination and blemish prone skin, or any time you want a weightless texture, such as when exercising or on warmer days.

Flawless Moisturiser is for when skin just needs everyday comfort. Our luxurious everyday moisturiser contains 5% niacinamide to support the skin barrier and brighten, leaving skin soft, dewy and ready for make-up. It is perfect for skin that feels dry but still breaks out, and for days when your skin is lacking radiance and needs an instant glow boost.

Flawless Moisturiser Intense is for when skin feels dry, reactive or unsettled by retinoids. It provides deep barrier repair that calms and replenishes without clogging pores, for days when skin feels dry, sensitive or stressed.

Start with how your skin feels that day. If it feels oily or breakout-prone, choose Flawless Moisturiser Balance. If it just needs everyday comfort and a dewy glow, reach for Flawless Moisturiser. If it feels dry, tight, reactive or unsettled by retinoids, choose Flawless Moisturiser Intense.

Yes. That is exactly what the Flawless Moisturiser Edit was designed for. Skin does not behave the same way every day, so you can switch between the three formulas as your skin’s needs change.

Yes. You can tailor your routine according to how your skin feels. For example, if you want something lightweight under make-up during the day and more comfort at night, you could use Flawless Moisturiser Balance or Flawless Moisturiser in the morning and Flawless Moisturiser Intense in the evening. Flawless Moisturiser Intense is a particularly good evening choice on nights you use a retinoid.

Apply approximately 1 fingertip sized amount to the face and neck. You can use more if your skin needs it. Apply using the #13dottechnique to create an even layer that absorbs into your skin rather than your hands.

Each moisturiser in the Edit is 25ml and should last approximately 2 weeks with twice-daily use.

No. Think of the Edit as your moisturiser wardrobe rather than a three step routine. Choose whichever formula best matches how your skin feels that day. You might find yourself reaching for one most often, while keeping the others on hand for days when your skin feels oily and breakout-prone, or dry and reactive.

You do not need to layer the moisturisers to get their benefits. The idea of the Edit is to choose the level of hydration your skin needs. If your skin feels dry, tight or reactive and your usual moisturiser is not giving it enough comfort, reach for Flawless Moisturiser Intense instead.

You can. Changes in weather, temperature and environment can change how your skin feels, which is where having a moisturiser wardrobe can be particularly useful. You may prefer lightweight Flawless Moisturiser Balance in warmer or more humid conditions, Flawless Moisturiser for everyday comfort through most of the year, and Flawless Moisturiser Intense when cold weather or central heating leaves skin feeling dry and tight. Rather than following a strict seasonal rule, simply choose according to how your skin feels.

Start by thinking about how your skin feels rather than feeling you need to stick to one formula. If it feels oily, shiny or breakout-prone, reach for Flawless Moisturiser Balance. If it feels comfortable and you want everyday hydration with a dewy glow, choose Flawless Moisturiser. If it feels dry, tight, sensitive or unsettled, dial up the comfort with Flawless Moisturiser Intense. You can then adjust your choice as your skin’s needs change.

Your moisturiser is the Hydrate step in #TheDrSamSystem. Apply your chosen moisturiser after cleansing and treatment serums. None of the moisturisers replace your sunscreen, so in the morning allow your moisturiser to fully absorb before following with SPF as your Protect step.

Yes. You can apply your chosen moisturiser to the eye area and neck as well as the face.

Yes. Flawless Moisturiser Balance in particular was specifically developed for oily, combination, blemish prone and acne prone skin, including skin with an oily T-zone and drier cheeks. Its lightweight, fast absorbing texture provides hydration and barrier support without a heavy or greasy feel, so reach for it on days your skin feels oily or breakout-prone.

Yes. All of our products are formulated with acne prone and blemish prone skin in mind. They are all non comedogenic, meaning it has been formulated not to clog pores, while still providing hydration and barrier support.

Yes. Oily and acne prone skin can still become dehydrated, sensitised and barrier impaired, particularly when using active ingredients. Supporting the skin barrier can help skin feel more comfortable, balanced and resilient.

Flawless Moisturiser Intense is the richest option in the Edit and is designed for dry, sensitive or stressed skin, including when cold weather or active ingredients leave skin feeling tight. It provides deep, comforting, non greasy hydration and is clinically proven to support the skin barrier from day one.

Many people with redness-prone skin, including those with rosacea, find our products beneficial for their skin. However, rosacea is a medical condition, so if you have persistent or severe symptoms we recommend consulting your healthcare professional for personalised advice.

Yes. All of our moisturisers are designed to provide barrier supporting hydration within an active skincare routine without feeling heavy. When a retinoid leaves your skin feeling dry or unsettled, reach for Flawless Moisturiser Intense, which makes retinoid routines easier to start and maintain. For oily and blemish prone skin using actives, Flawless Moisturiser Balance provides barrier support without heaviness.

Aftercare can vary depending on the treatment you have had, so we recommend checking with your treating practitioner before introducing or resuming any skincare products. They will be best placed to advise you on when it is appropriate to use your moisturiser following your treatment.

All of Dr Sam’s products are fragrance free, making them suitable for sensitive and reactive skin types.

All of our moisturisers are vegan and cruelty free.

Yes. Apply your chosen moisturiser and allow it to fully absorb before following with sunscreen and make up. Each formula is designed to layer comfortably under SPF and make up without pilling. Flawless Moisturiser Balance has a lightweight, fast absorbing texture, with an undetectable finish on skin. Flawless Moisturiser gives skin a dewy luminosity, and Flawless Moisturiser Intense leaves skin plump and hydrated.

Flawless Moisturiser contains 5% niacinamide, a barrier boosting and skin brightening ingredient that helps increase ceramide production and lessen the appearance of fine lines.

All of our moisturisers can be used by the whole family as they do not contain active ingredients which need to be used with caution, such as exfoliating acids (we recommend a minimum age of 12 under adult supervision for our products containing actives, which are the serums in the range).

Yes. The moisturisers can be used by anyone. Choose your formula according to how your skin feels and what it needs that day.

All of our moisturisers are suitable during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Yes. The convenient mini sizes are ideal for travel and mean you can take your moisturiser wardrobe with you. Reach for Balance in heat or humidity, Flawless Moisturiser for everyday comfort, and Intense after a long flight or in cold, dry climates.

Yes. Bringing all three Flawless Moisturisers together makes the Edit a great way to introduce someone to the range and let them discover the textures that work best for their skin. The convenient mini sizes also make it ideal for gifting.
