What the gurus are saying

The gurus who tested it found it calms redness from rosacea and post-acne marks, soothes underlying sensitivity, and supports the skin barrier, with one reviewer noticing less itchiness and breakouts over months of use. The serum has a heavy gel texture that layers well and includes a green tint to help camouflage redness visually. Those with reactive or rosacea-prone skin may want to work it into their routine consistently for the calming effect.

"I've been using this as a reset product at night and morning when I take time off from my actives. It's worked great. Less redness on my skin overall. Prequel is such a good skin care brand that have they pretty much never miss. I don't think I dislike any Prequel products."
Approved
"They have a redness reform soothing serum with licorice root that is really good for redness, as is oat. And this also has, I believe, a green tint through the chromium oxide green, which will help camouflage the redness. Likely would be good for rosacea and post acne red marks."
Approved
"They say it's a custom Advanced molecule blend inspired by nature but with significant soothing benefits that provide beneficial topical redness relief and reduces underlying sensitivities. They have oat kernel extract which of course we know to be soothing, and somebody who tests skin care consistently, somebody who has rosacea, I need that soothing serum consistently within my routine. Oat is great for that and vitamin F is great for barrier support. It's not a color corrector. It's kind of like a thick gel cream, very hydrating and really soothing. Over the last 4 months, my redness that I get from rosacea when I flush, the breakouts that I do get, I don't get that itchiness, I don't get that need to pick at my skin. I don't get that anymore. I feel soothed, my skin feels calm."
Approved
"It uses this ingredient because it helps with barrier support, it helps even with some hyperpigmentation, but it also helps with soothing. It says that's an active molecule in licorice known to soothe and brighten the skin, so they're taking the active molecule in licorice rather than just the extract, which I love. I also really love the texture of this, it's kind of like a heavy gel texture with some body to it that's still lightweight, so you can still layer other products with it. And actually, of all the Prequel products, I think this feels like a Korean beauty skincare product. It doesn't smell like anything, which I love."
