Prequel Skin Gleanser, Moisturizing Glycerin Face Wash, Professional Strength Face Cleanser for Women, Unscented Sensitive and Dry Skin Face Wash Pump Bottles - 6.75 fluid ounce (Pack of 2)

When I first began analyzing the formulation of the Prequel Gleanser Moisturizing Glycerin Face Wash, I immediately recognized that this was not just another generic addition to the crowded skincare market. For anyone battling dry, easily irritated, or compromised skin, the cleansing step is usually an anxiety-inducing tightrope walk between removing the day's grime and completely stripping the skin barrier. However, my deep dive into this specific unscented cleanser reveals a masterful approach to hydration. By prioritizing a massive concentration of glycerin—a powerhouse humectant that practically acts as a moisture magnet—this formula fundamentally changes the way we approach washing our faces. It doesn't just clean; it actively replenishes and protects. ​The actual experience of this formulation is where the science translates into pure skincare magic. Dispensing a single dose reveals a beautifully dense, almost honey-like texture that glides across the face with zero friction. Because it is completely unscented, it entirely bypasses the harsh, volatile essential oils and synthetic fragrances that so frequently trigger flare-ups in sensitive profiles. As it is massaged in, it transforms into a gentle, comforting slip rather than a harsh, stripping lather. It effectively breaks down daily impurities, stubborn sunscreen, and excess oil, but the heavy glycerin load ensures that water is continuously bound to the skin cells throughout the entire process. My evaluation shows that this mechanism expertly prevents that dreaded "squeaky clean" feeling, which is actually just the feeling of a damaged lipid barrier crying out for help. ​From a purely practical standpoint, the packaging and presentation of this bundle are exceptionally well thought out. The 6.75 fl oz pump bottle is a triumph of functional design, delivering the exact right amount of product without the messy, unhygienic realities of a squeeze tube. The pump mechanism itself is sturdy and reliable, ensuring you aren't fighting with the bottle with wet hands at the bathroom sink. Furthermore, securing this as a pack of two is a brilliant move for consistency in any daily routine. Running out of a core staple is incredibly frustrating, so having a perfectly preserved backup ready to go brings a surprising amount of peace of mind to a daily regimen. ​Ultimately, the Prequel Gleanser stands as a masterclass in supportive, barrier-first skincare. After the final rinse, the resulting texture of the skin is nothing short of remarkable—plump, extraordinarily soft, and beautifully prepped to absorb the subsequent serums and moisturizers in a routine. It leaves behind a delicate veil of hydration that makes the face feel bouncy and resilient rather than tight, parched, and desperate for heavy creams. Finding a truly effective, non-irritating, and deeply moisturizing wash is often a lifelong quest for those with sensitive skin, but my comprehensive assessment confirms that this brilliant formulation confidently ends that search.

I really like this cleanser and have been happy with how it performs. It’s gentle on my skin, doesn’t leave it feeling dry or tight, and still does a great job of cleansing. My skin feels clean, smooth, and hydrated after using it, which is exactly what I look for in a daily cleanser. When I first unpacked it, one of the bottles had leaked a little during shipping. Thankfully it wasn’t a lot and didn’t affect the product itself, but it’s something to be aware of. Overall, the quality of the cleanser makes up for the minor packaging issue. I would still recommend it and would purchase again because it works really well and is great for everyday use.

Great as both a face and body wash, especially in the shower. I love its jelly-like, hydrating texture—just don’t use too much or it can be difficult to rinse off. A high-quality product at an affordable price.

Have I tried almost every luxury and derm skin care brand ? Probably ! I guess the proof of my love for this is : At any given moment I now have one bottle in my shower , one by my sink , one by the bathtub, and two in reserve, because I have anxiety about running out. Does that sound crazy ? Maybe! But….It’s because I FINALLY found the cleanser of my dreams for my dry, sensitive , reactive , eczema prone skin . I have been using this for over a year exclusively and never have I had more compliments on my skin. It’s unscented, low lather, with a silky smooth, moist, ultra clean finish leaving nary a trace of the day, including mascara removal. I’ve given away everything else in my cupboard. It’s my holy grail cleanser.

This product is incredible. This is a slippery, gel-like cleanser that is cleansing and hydrating even when I have dry, sensitive skin. Very, very comparable to IS Clinical Cleansing Complex which I also love, but a better price point, more neutral packaging if left on the counter, AND a pump that doesn’t clog/plug up since last use. It also has a similar consistency (but Prequel is a superior product all around) to Naturium’s niacinamide cleansing gel.
