PREQUEL SKIN BRAND REVIEW: Favorites & Skips | affordable, effective skincare for sensitive skin
- no stillPrequel$20
- “I think in the world of oil cleansers this is a relatively fluid one like it's not too rich it's not goopy it only takes a pump or two to really spread out across the face”▶ 3:06
- “I find that this does a great job of breaking down not only SPF but also makeup including waterproof mascara eyeliner”▶ 3:16
- “I never have any eye burn or stinging and I also don't get like foggy eyes or oil in the eyes”▶ 3:24
- “This emulsifies really beautifully what that means is as soon as you add a little bit of water on your fingertips it breaks down into a Milky fluid and you can just see all of the makeup melt off it's very satisfying”▶ 3:34
- “It doesn't leave a film behind but it does leave your skin feeling hydrated without feeling like sticky or like anything's left behind on the skin”▶ 3:49
- no stillPrequel$17.99
- “It's a glycerin based cleanser so it's meant to be very very hydrating”▶ 4:20
- “I find that it's actually really good for cleansing because it stays on the skin and it allows you to really work it into the skin rather than some gel cleansers that just kind of like melt off of your face or slide down your face”▶ 5:00
- “I find that it really does deliver hydration to the skin but it rinses off totally clean”▶ 5:17
- “This is really nice for shaving actually because it gives you such a glide across the skin”▶ 5:38
- “The price per ounce is amazing. This is 13.5 fluid ounces, 400 ml, so it's a great value for money. It lasts a really long time”▶ 5:50
- no still
- “It's a great option if you have body breakouts”▶ 6:04
- “The salicylic acid is great for body cleansing as well as face cleansing because that touch of salicylic gives you a little bit of exfoliation”▶ 6:11
- “Especially if you're someone that can't tolerate actual leave on exfoliants, a wash off exfoliant is a slightly gentler option”▶ 6:36
- no still
- “It is truly a godsend for my sensitive skin and it's something that I use every single day right after cleansing”▶ 7:24
- “This is an incredible mister. It's so super fine, like it's so satisfying. It never leaves droplets on your face and it always gives me a really, really even mist”▶ 7:46
- “If you have reactive skin, sensitive skin, acne prone skin, this might really help you”▶ 8:09
- “This is great because it has a sort of antibacterial element to it, so it can sort of kill some of the bacteria on your skin and just leave you a little bit more refreshed for the day”▶ 8:21
- “It's not itself like super super hydrating. That's not really the point of this product”▶ 8:33
- no stillPrequel$22.99
- “This really packs a punch”
- “This one can be a little bit spicy, I'm going to warn you now, especially if you're like me and you maybe have sensitive skin. It's not something I would use more than once a week”▶ 9:24
- “If you are breakout prone or specifically looking for brightening and sort of smoothing over skin texture, this is the one for you”▶ 9:46

- “Vitamin C will also give you antioxidant protection, so it works really well in a daytime routine in tandem with SPF”▶ 11:42
- “This also contains niacinamide, so it's going to help the appearance of pores, it's going to help with brightening overall”▶ 11:53

- “The packaging is also really lovely. It's a glass packaging, it's weighty and so it gives you a slightly more premium feel”▶ 12:15

- “This bottle I've repurchased myself, and I repurchased it even before my PR bottle ran out. That's how dependent I've become on this”▶ 13:32
- “Texturally so elegant. It feels even nicer than some of my hydrating serums at two or three times the cost of this”▶ 13:56
- “In first place, I have to give it to Multi-Quench. It's just a product I've used so much. I use it every single day, morning and evening. It's such a beautiful hydrating serum. Texturally it's lovely. Can't say enough good things about it. I can't imagine a skin type that wouldn't enjoy this and wouldn't be able to use this”▶ 34:54
- no stillPrequel$39.98
- “I have reached for this in moments of irritation or when I've maybe overdone it with acids or retinoids or especially when I have allergy flare ups”▶ 14:54

- “It's again not like a miracle worker, you're not going to like see the redness completely disappear, but it is a really lovely hydrating formula in and of itself”▶ 15:17

- “Love the addition of peptides and you know I love everything with ceramides”▶ 17:55

- “In second place I have to say the new half and half. I fell in love with it immediately. It's exactly the kind of textural product that I love to incorporate and I love the addition of the peptides and ceramides in here”▶ 17:55
- no still
- “This is a product that has really really grown on me”
- “I actually love this because it's almost like a gel moisturizer and it has a really beautiful gel texture that spreads out so nicely”▶ 19:15

- no still
- “This one is really nice if you have any skin itchiness because it has a 1% colloidal oatmeal”▶ 24:00
- “They actually say it temporarily relieves itchiness and minor irritation due to dry skin or eczema so it's really a barrier Builder”▶ 24:10
- “It's on the stiffer side but it's not a heavy moisturizer like it doesn't feel too occlusive it doesn't leave too much of texture behind it absorbs nicely into the skin on both face and body”▶ 24:20

- “It's a really really great hand cream if you work a lot with your hands, if you do manual labor, if you're doing dishes a lot, if you're washing your hands a lot”▶ 29:20
