What the gurus are saying

The serum visibly reduces redness and soothes irritation, with reviewers particularly praising it for rosacea and post-flushing marks. Over consistent months of use, itching and picking behaviors reduced. The active licorice and oat extract earn high marks for soothing; the gel texture hydrates while staying light for layering. Those on strong actives may use it as a reset product on days off.

"For redness prone skin, the Redness Reform Soothing Serum by Prequel is amazing, and I love pairing it with their sulfur based cleanser, which I rub on and leave for a few minutes like a mask with no irritation as it cuts the redness away, then I follow up with the soothing serum. If you have red, irritated, damaged skin barrier, this duo is absolutely incredible. It's 20% off and it's an actual discount, not a trick."

"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."

"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."
