Non-Drying Glycerin Cleanser.

"I'm starting off this morning using the Prequel Non-Drying Glycerin Cleanser to wash my face. I do have some oil buildup and skin care from the night before, so I definitely want to gently cleanse that off. And this one's been really nice. It has this jelly-like texture and it's very gentle."

"This is the Prequel cleanser. This is a very gentle cleanser. And since this is an evening routine, I do suggest using a cleanser that is very gentle like this one. Something that doesn't make your skin feel squeaky clean or really tight right after washing it. That's actually going to make your dehydration worse. Cleansing is definitely something you want to keep your eye on with dehydrated skin because it can actually strip a lot of the essential moisture from your skin. That actually makes the dehydrated feeling a lot worse. So what I would actually suggest is in the evening, use the gentlest cleanser that you can stand."

"The prequel cleanser is a really gentle glycerin-based cleanser with very low foaming action that actually hydrates your skin. It's a really good gentle alternative to a milk or cream cleanser for hot summer months."

"For my gentle cleanser for my second cleansing step, I've switched over to the Prequel cleanser this year. I love this as a second cleanse. It's so hydrating and so soothing. It doesn't have any hidden irritants in it like fragrance or acids."

"Another thing of theirs that I love is the cleanser. And I'm so kicking myself cuz I just bought it last week full price and now here it is for 20% off."

"I really really love this as a first step cleanser. It's really mild, it's really soothing. There are some surfactants in here which normally I like a face wash with no surfactants, I don't like anything that foams or strips my skin, but the idea behind this one is that they put in 50% glycerin and glycerin is one of the workhorses of our skincare routine. It's in everything, it's humectant, it keeps the surfactants that are in here from stripping your skin so it keeps your skin more hydrated while it does its work of cleaning your skin. My only complaint about this is that it takes a little bit longer to rinse this away than some of the other cleansers that I'm used to for my second cleanse. I just wish that it rinsed a little bit quicker from the skin, but other than that no complaints about it."

"I've switched cleansers for my morning cleanse this year. Now I'm using the Prequel Non-Drying Glycerin Cleanser as my morning cleanse. It's very mild, it's very soothing, it's made out of almost all glycerin, which is a really great hydrating ingredient in skincare."

"This one is from Prequil. This is their cleanser. This is made with mainly glycerin which is a humectant and so it's very hydrating. So in the evening when I have on makeup or tinted sunscreen and I want to get my makeup off, I do a double cleanse."

"One of my favorite cleansers for mature skin is the Prequel cleanser. It's built with 50% glycerin, which is one of the most effective humectants in skincare, meaning it's going to draw water into the skin and keep it there. It also contains inulin, which is a prebiotic that helps support a healthy skin microbiome, and arginine, which is an amino acid that helps protect and repair the skin barrier while also cleansing. The result is a formula that removes makeup, excess oil, and impurities while also leaving your skin actively soft, comfortable, and balanced. Never tight, not stripped, not dry. For mature, dry or sensitive skin, that distinction matters more than most people realize."

"This is a really nice hydrating formula. It leaves your skin really nice and soft. It doesn't foam up. You can use it face and body. The key ingredients here are ceramides, glycerin, and hyaluronic acid. The Prequel cleanser is non-drying. It has tons of glycerin in it. It doesn't strip anything. It's going to leave you really nice and hydrated. It has 50% glycerin and inulin to support that healthy moisture barrier. It's really gentle, humectant-rich formula. It does a really good job removing makeup, excess oil, impurities while leaving your skin really soft, supple, balanced, hydrated. It's really good for dry and very dry skin types or those who are using barrier-compromising actives. If you're somebody using retinoids or AHAs and BHs and your skin is irritated, this is a really good cleanser. It's also suitable for eczema-prone or really reactive skin. The key ingredients here are the 50% glycerin and the inulin. Inulin is a prebiotic that supports that healthy skin microbiome balance. Also contains arginine, which is an amino acid that helps protect and repair the skin barrier, aloe vera, and oat extracts."

"On paper, this should have been perfect for me. It's packed with glycerin, super nourishing, all the things I would normally love. I was so sure I was going to love it I bought two. I didn't really enjoy this on my face. I just don't love foaming cleansers. I didn't know that this was a foaming cleanser. But as a body cleanser, oh my gosh, fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. And it lasted forever and it's a great price. So this became one of those products that shifted categories entirely. Face, no. Body, yes. I can honestly tell you if they sold this here in Ireland, I would repurchase it in an instant to use as a body wash."

"Despite the fact that it contains 50% glycerin, which is why I knew I was going to love it, it was far too foamy for my face. I don't like a foaming face wash. It's just not my jam. And if you do like a foaming face wash, you need to buy this immediately. I mean, it is a huge bottle and it's only $18. I decided to not waste it, to move it into the shower, and I am so glad that I did. It is the perfect body wash. It is super gentle. It is super hydrating. I absolutely love it."

"I've tried a few things like their cleanser is quite nice."

"The Prequel cleanser is mostly glycerin, which is a very unique experience compared to most cleansers, but it is actually quite hydrating once it washes off the skin."

"I really enjoy it. This one's really nice. The bottle's huge, it's like 13.5 ounces, so this is a face or body or both cleanser and I've been using it kind of on both. There's not much of a lather but a very light lather I would say."

"There's no real major red flag ingredients unless you have acne prone skin because some of those fatty acids can be really problematic for acne prone skin, but it feels really nice. It's affordable. It's a big bottle. It feels really nice on the skin, which is hard to accomplish."

"This one really nice product. It's very simple formula with beta glucan, aloe, oat flour. Very gentle, no scent."

"Another brand I'm really liking is Prequel, and they've got some really nice, affordable cleansers. This one's 13 ounces and it's really affordable. They tend to be sold at Target, so you can pick it up at the same stores you'd pick up Cetaphil and Cave. They tend to avoid fragrances, which is nice, and they have a nice range of gentle cleansers and moisturizers. This is their cleanser, which is a great morning cleanser. Some people prefer to rinse their skin off in the morning, I'm typically one of those, but some nights if you use a thick sleeping mask or something like that, a nice gentle wash is nice, and this is great for that."

"I really like this cleanser. I finished it up fairly recently, and it's really good and it works well as a body wash too, which is what it's marketed as."

"This has oat flour which is packed with wonderful hydrating ingredients and helps with cleansing. It also has Arginine, a natural moisturizing factor naturally present in your skin that, like glycerin, can help overall with moisture retention. It's gentle enough to use around my eyes to wash off eye makeup. I do a mascara test where I wash my face with a cleanser in the shower without using any makeup removing balm, oil, or wipe, just the cleanser. If I step out and have raccoon eyes, it fails. This passed the mascara test. They advertise it as having a pH of 4.5, which is great, it's more on the acidic side, which is beneficial for people who have eczema-prone skin or atopic dermatitis. Harsher cleansers with a higher pH can be disruptive to an already impaired skin barrier. The texture is a little bit thick as you spread it over the skin, which I've experienced with other glycerin-based gel cleansers before, but as you spread it over the skin surface it starts to work up into a mild silky lather with a little bit of creamy foam to it. Importantly, it rinses off the skin easily, doesn't leave behind a residue."

"The best thing from that line that I've tried so far has to be the Prequel Non-Drying Glycerin Cleanser. I was using it as both a face wash and a body wash, and then I just used it as a face wash, and I'm using it now as a hand wash. I find that really helps me out a lot because I am prone to eczema on my hands, especially where you get those little itchy blisters, so I avoid any kind of harsh hand washes. It doesn't aggravate my hand eczema."

"I liked everything from Prequel that I've tried. The glycerin based cleanser works well as a body wash. Relatively affordable, too."

"An overwhelming amount of you recommended the Prequel Cleanser, which is a glycerin based cleanser, which I bought and I'm loving."

"The Prequel Non-Drying Glycerin Cleanser is something that is so fabulous. I started using this every day, using a few pumps on face and neck before all the other stuff. I did experience breakouts and flakiness around my nose, upper eyelid, and sensitive areas like around my eyes and mouth for about three weeks, but after that, things started to calm down and go away. Now I'm using this every single day in the morning and I'm not breaking out like that. I'm very happy with it."

"You need half a pump, otherwise you are going to drown in the product. It spreads on so amazingly, spreads so much with the tiniest amount, and even that tiny amount foams up like crazy in this soft lather. It just feels like it's like cushioning your skin. It's the nicest cleanser I think I've ever used. You could use this as a first or second cleanse. This is also a cleanser you can take into the shower and use it on those drier bits of skin. In Winter, my shins, the back of my arms, for some reason get really dry, and this is a product you want to use. People overlook the cleanser stage as something to just get quickly done and over with, but this really puts the joy back into using a cleanser. Even though cleansers nowadays shouldn't be stripping your skin anyway, this really doesn't do it. This makes it feel like you've used a light moisturizer. It's that nourishing. I love it so, so much."

"I have been obsessed with Prequel. The Prequel Cleanser has kind of become a bit of an icon amongst influencers and the skincare community because it is one of the most interesting cleansers I think that's been launched for a while. This contains 50% glycerin which is a huge amount and you can really see that in the kind of jellylike texture of this product. It's a lot softer and kind of fluidy, but still has that thickness to it. And this gives a really nice soft foam that does feel like it's a moisturizer. You foam up and then you just feel like you're rubbing in something so gentle and nourishing. We also have arginine, oat, and aloe so it's super soothing. It leaves your skin feeling untouched, even moisturized to a point. It's weird because I've never used a facial cleanser like this. There have been ones that have been similar but they don't quite leave you with that untouched feeling. I've had this since it launched and there's so much left and I use it every single day, morning cleanse or evening cleanse or both. It's just a cleanser I want to use and really look forward to using."

"This cleanser kind of turns into a really lightweight foam that feels like you're moisturizing your face with that foam. It doesn't feel like it's stripping anything. It rinses away with a really really good deep cleanse without the stripping of a deep cleanse. We have oat in here as well, I believe it's oat kernel extract which is lovely and soothing, so you can really take your time with this, and aloe as well, soothing and hydrating. It's just such a nice cleanser. It's quite a unique cleanser in the sense that the texture is a little bit different. There are a few other similar cleansers, but as far as how it then interacts on the skin, how it then foams up, how it then leaves your skin, is fairly unique. The thing about this that just feels a lot more nourishing and moisturizing than any other cleanser I've used."

"I am often reaching for my Prequel cleanser. It is the most popular product in our line. It's a glycerin-based cleanser and it's huge. I leave one in the shower because it's meant for face and body."

"I will either use my Prequel cleansing oil and then go in with the Prequel cleanser or I will use my biodermaicellar water on a cotton pad and then I'll go in with my Prequel cleanser and the beauty of a double cleanse like this is that all the steps all of the products you're using are super gentle so you're not stripping your skin even though you're cleansing twice and very thoroughly."

"This is actually designed to be a face and body cleanser but I love it so much because it has so much glycerin in it that it really nourishes and protects the skin while it cleanses without feeling sticky or clinging to the skin. We designed this cleanser to be ultra hydrating for the skin but without leaving any type of residue behind. One of my biggest pet peeves with hydrating cleansers is when I can still feel them on my skin afterward and this one washes completely clean. We also had this cleanser clinically tested for its moisturizing capacity and it keeps the skin moisturized for 24 hours after use. I love how much this lathers up. I feel like sometimes people associate a foaming cleanser or a lathering cleanser with something that's stripping but in reality having a nice lather to me is just an amazing sensorial experience."

"This is my cleanser from Prequel and it's so good. This is the Prequel Universal Skin Solution. I couldn't bring this to Japan because this is a 4 oz bottle, but it's so amazing for like sensitive skin."

"I worked with formulators to ensure that this is a plushy luxurious beautiful formula it lathers incredibly well. This cleanser has really become my cleanser staple in my routine for both my face and body. In addition to being formulated with over 50% glycerin, this also contains inulin, oat, arginine, and aloe to soothe and comfort the skin as well as cleanse it."

"This is Cleanser Plus Glycolic, our non-drying glycolic acid cleanser for face and body. It has 5% glycolic acid. Glycolic acid is the gold standard alpha hydroxy acid. It is a small molecule that's highly water soluble, and it penetrates the skin very well. It makes it great for things like boosting skin cell turnover, brightening the appearance of dark spots, and doing things like smoothing the look of fine lines and wrinkles. In my own clinical practice as a dermatologist, I recommend glycolic acid all the time because I have so many patients who want to improve dullness, give their skin that really healthy glow, start to smooth the texture of their skin."

"I'm using such a gentle cleanser, my Prequel cleanser, which is 50% glycerin, it's just a very non-stripping, hydrating cleanser. I find it's a good balance of setting my skin up for success, getting that refresh in the morning, but not making my skin feel dry or tight."

"They have a high percentage of glycerin in this cleanser which is supposed to be hydrating. Now I actually found this and I got a couple comments from you guys too that it was a little bit too stripping for very very dry skin. For reference I have very very dry skin, not just dry skin. I don't think I have an oil or sebaceous gland in my face so I'm kind of an outlier on this product. Most people love this and it works beautifully. I actually switched it to a body wash."

"This cleanser is based with glycerin and I absolutely love it. I personally use this as a second cleanse because I prefer to use a first cleanse either a balm or an oil cleanser to break up that sunscreen and get rid of all that makeup, so for me this is the perfect second cleanse. It is huge and really affordable. It's a nice gentle cleanser great for all skin types. You can use this head to toe, you can use this on your body, you can use it on your face, so all around a fantastic cleanser."
