Abbey, this is such a thoughtful and thorough video! I'm such a fan and truly honored that you took the time to delve into Prequel♥ I can't wait to share our upcoming launches soon!
@@AbbeyYung People can be so quick to judge. Thank you for letting the negative ninnys know there is a thing called networking! Appreciate your honest review of this line - definitely want to try out the cleanser and milk product. I follow Dr. Sam as well and appreciate her work ethic and channel.
Dr. Ellis is my own dermatologist and honestly I trust her products because I trust her as my dermatologist. She’s absolutely amazing at her job and really understands skin
@@RachelDee yeah! I’m getting accutane with her and I’m generally very impressed with the quality of care she provides I even drive about an hour out just to see her
i felt like “oh another influencer brand” until you reviewed the products and now i’m intrigued! i didn’t realize they were so affordable, i really wanna try out the cleanser now! i just wish it was sold in stores or on amazon.
Prequel just launched a new Barrier cream! It is loaded with ceramides and has colloidal oatmeal. I also had the grainy texture issue with the Urea Milky lotion. I emailed them after trying it a few times, and they immediately responded that they are reformulating the product and will happily send me a new bottle once finished. Nice! Thank you for all your wonderful reviews, advice and humor!
@@marcibigney9212I believe so! It was out of stock for awhile. I just purchased mine a couple weeks ago and no grainy issues. It’s actually one of the silkiest lotions I’ve ever used. I hope this helps 😊
I’ve only recently discovered Prequel and started with the vitamin C and Barrier Repair. Within a week of using those, I went right back to the site and ordered the balm and ointment! As soon as I’m done with my current cleanser, I’m getting the Gleanser, I’m so pleased with the value and quality of this brand!
Since I turned 30, I noticed that my skin have become dry and sensitive vs being normal leaning to oily when I was on my teens and 20’s. This cleanser helped me a lot! I also like ointment
I always think you learn more about a person (or company) when things go wrong vs when they go right. The way the production issue was handled makes me much more likely to buy from this new brand. ❤
I have to say I love the way you demonstrate the products in all your videos. You’re one of the few that doesn’t just rub products on your hands. I so appreciate all the details!
Hi Abbey - there is another Dr Sam who is based in London and she has a great skincare line. Her name is Dr Sam Bunting who is also a dermatologist influencer and her “Dr Sam’s Flawless”skincare range is really interesting which I believe is worth your review. Her products are actives- focused without any BS ingredients.
I would love to see abbey review it! I haven't bought it cause it's expensive cause I'm in eu, there's tax and expensive delivery, u would love to hear is it worth it! ❤
Hi, I love her products too and as someone with sensitive/acne/prone to hyperpigmentation skin and who just turn 40 her line is perfect. It's for those with sensitive skin but still need actives to fix other issues. It is expensive but her products have several skincare actives that target multiple problems at once which we have not seen much recently so you don't need to buy as many products. I like that she has never followed trends and stick to robust ingredients that are known to work.
@@lalablotz7348 It's annoying. We see it in everything because it's cheap to make like hyaluronic acid. 🙄 Then marketers hype this ingredient up like it's this magical fixer upper.
The Gleanser is my favorite cleanser I’ve tried. I use it on my face and body and actually look forward to using it. Just purchased another backup 😊 My moisturizer has the same gritty feel too, but it does melt down. I prefer to use it as a body moisturizer, but I like that one too.
I love Dr Ellis' cleanser. I can't use all the foaming cleansers as they dry out my skin no matter how "gentle." I can't use creamy cleansers as they clog my pores. The between a rock and a hard place is real! This is perfect for me! The ointment is SO good, better han Cereve's, imo. My lips stop flaking and peeling right away. I'm looking forward to getting the lotion when it's back in stock.
I love this brand so much. I've tried some products from this brand and the brand is amazing. I'm not disappointed by anything I've tried so far. I will say it is generally pretty expensive because you're also paying for shipping costs. Buying online vs in the store can be pricy. But I do love everything I've tried especially the gleanser.
Yes! to less niacinamide. I feel the same about HA, they are both in everything. I think it gives some other ingredients a bad name because people think they are so benign and don't consider them as a possible irritant. Dr Idriss confirmed this hypothesis for me.
Hi Abbey! Thanks for this video. I’m excited to try the brand. Thinking I will start with the cleanser. I am SO impressed by the ingredients combined with the affordable price point. This is the kind of brand I want to support. Again, thanks.
I was SO excited to hear she was coming out with a skincare brand!! I respect Dr Sam so much and love her content and happily purchased the 3 items. I had the same issue with the graininess and appreciate you sharing this so I can also reach out and get a replacement 🤗
I’ve been really impressed with this brand! The aesthetic is so luxurious and I really appreciate the affordable pricing. I love the message and what they’re trying to do. The gleanser is so nice and really is just a more lux experience than my tried and true vanicream. I haven’t gotten to try the lotion yet which I’m so sad about! Can’t wait to get my hands on that. I like the ointment, it’s nothing special to me, but I really appreciate that it’s in a squeeze tube rather than a tub. Feels a little more sanitary and is easy to carry around. I don’t have a texture issue with ointments but I know the people that do love this formulation
I’m on my second bottle of the gleanser and just bought the utility ointment, and love these great affordable skincare products. I have been watching you and Dr. Sam’s videos for some time and I think you both are doing an amazing job. I can’t wait to see what Prequel keeps coming out with and can’t wait to see you review them.
I LOVE the Prequel cleanser. It’s wonderfully hydrating. I don’t know of another cleanser that has 50% glycerin. And it arrived less than 48 hours after I ordered it.
Thank you so much for being so thorough! As someone with Rosacea, I have to be extra careful with my skincare. Your thoughts and experiences convinced me to give it a go.
Great review again! For me the products left me wanting more…I was hoping for some cosmetically elegant products that are less “basic” if that is the right word? There is nothing in the line that really stood out for me but it seems like a fantastic option for people wanting a very simple skin care routine for both face and body.
Really great review of the products! I thank you for the comparisons, too! Speaking of influencers, Dr. Shereene Idris also made a small line -- major fade; it's targeted toward hyperpigmentation. I love it!
@@marcibigney9212 I think they had to reformulate because there were issues with graininess? I got mine in the mail last week and so far I love it. The formula feels really silky so I think they fixed the issue.
Hi Abbey! I purchased the Gleanser and Skin Utility Ointment and fell in love with both. The Gleanser is a dream second cleanser for my rosacea prone skin and I love that it doubles as a gentle and hydrating body wash. The ointment is a saving grace for me as I struggled for years to find a cruelty-free slugging ointment that didn’t break me out. I’m definitely repurchasing both and can’t wait to try the urea moisturizing milk! Thank you for your review and for always being honest and transparent ❤️
Thank you for a candid review! This is my first time watching you but I follow Dr Sam. I am using her sunscreen and like it so far. I am planning on trying more of her products and really appreciated your review and feedback.
I have been using her cleanser for one month. I normally use philosophy face wash. So Dr. Sams face wash is very nice. I do a double cleanse and completely takes my makeup off and it makes my skin feel soft. Last night I used philosophy and OMG my face felt like it was on fire. And my face was tight and dry feeling. I realized then that Dr.Sams formula is what I’ll be using from now on. I also use the ointment at night prior to my tretinoin and it has helped peeling dramatically. I wasn’t able to get the lotion due to being sold out.
@Abbeyyung Hi Abbey!! Dr. Shereene Idress board certified dermatologist and Dr. Amir Karan is a board certified plastic surgeon who gives talks about skin care once a week (I hope I’m correct saying that). They both came out wth new(ish) lines of skin care. His, have active and inactive products that work together. Both sound great. Abbey, can you possibly review those two doctors (relatively new) skin care products ? You are the only person I know that WE have the best chance that you do it. You’re so good helping us figure things out. I want to buy of their trios, but I’m only going to buy one… but the both seem great. I am not loving what you just spoke about as much as the other two doctors regime. Thanking you in advance, I can’t wait!!
This was a great review of the new Prequel line by Dr.Sam Ellis. I have been thinking of purchasing the new skin care items and your video was super informative. Thanks!
Abby during beginning of the pandemic I started following Mad About Skin. From the UK. Robert Snead. He’s smart and personable and very knowledgeable. He started his own brand which I have bought a few things and do like them. Was wondering if you could give your community a review ? Darlene
I know one thing. I don’t want to be without the cleanser, or the ointment. They are both fabulous !!!! Thank you for your review ,now I’ll check the body/face lotion. Love !!!❤
I've been waiting for more videos on this brand, super curious about performance, especially since I've been looking for a new cleanser and these items seemed pretty intriguing for a decent price. I also love the lip products you're wearing!
Thanks for the video! I already bought the ointment and I had no idea it was an influencer brand ( Mandy MUA recommended it). My husband has super dry flakey red inflamed skin right now and he uses this after his thyme treatment serum and it has helped him a lot so a thumbs up for me 😊 I have also used under eyes and enjoy it. Can’t wait to try cleanser. Won’t be trying moisturizer bc I don’t see anything special to it. I like using my beef tallow 😊 have a blessed new year everyone!
I got the Gleanser right after the launch and I really like it! I don't feel like my face is all dried out and burning after washing it. It feels really good! Not a fan of it as a body wash, but since I bought it for my face, I'm OK with that.
Hi Abbey. Newer subscriber here. Love your videos. I do love the Dr. Ellis’ Gleanser. Would you consider reviewing Dr. Shereene Idriss’ Pillowtalk Derm line? It’s a newer skincare launch also. Thanks!
"hers clear waters" is a wonderful, high concentration glycerin cleanser. I've been using it and loving it for over a year. I just picked up glenser, and they are indeed very similar in feel!
Please do another review with the new products and the oil cleanser! I love your videos (especially the hair ones) but I'm so psyched to find out about these products because I need a new skincare routine but paulas choice was my go to and no one has 200 - 400 to spend on a routine.
I like Dr Sam Ellis, her rosacea info has been very helpful to me, i have mine under control now with a maintenance routine that works (also thanks to Dr Michelle Wong and Dr Dray). Grateful for your fantastic and well researched review. I will definitely try these products. I like that they are for the body as well.
I also love the glenser! I am now looking forward to receiving the skin barrier cream. Yes, I am very impressed with this brand. And she just teased about a new product. ???
@@MrsCurioCheerio I guess I expected to at least see ceramide’s. It seemed like it was supposed to be a step up from the drugstore ones you talked about and I just wanted more. To be fair I haven’t looked up the benefits of urea for example.
@@kristalynnblonski7931 That's understandable, I even had the same questions after looking at the products. I think Sam Ellis made a video saying that the current lineup doesn't contain ceramides because they preferred the formulations without them, but they may be looking to add products w/ ceramides in the future. But urea is good for smoothing and conditioning the skin, Dr. Dray should have lots of vids explaining the benefits if you're curious.
I've seen people use the Gleanser on dry skin and allowed it to become a creamy lather before they add water. That seem to be an effective way to use this cleanser to remove makeup.
Hello Abbey, I’ve purchased the Gleanser and Skin Utility Ointment and I like both of them quite a lot! I was unable to purchase the moisturizer because it sold out immediately. I do have to say, I used the Gleanser once after getting a haircut and shave at the barber, and it stung my skin really bad and made me turn red, which I was surprised about. Don’t know why that happened. The ointment has done great as a lip treatment and as a replacement for the CeraVe healing ointment since I just ran out of my tube of it. I use it for cuts and scrapes, and it heals the skin wonderfully. Lasts all night on my lips until I wake up in the AM. I have combo-oily, acne & clog prone skin for reference. (Which is why I don’t slug, and I’m prone to milia around my eyes.)
I’ve been wanting to try this since it launched in July but I’m a little frustrated with the brand. The urea lotion has been sold out for over a month and yet the brand keeps sending it to influencers. I understand that they want to get PR packages out, but it doesn’t feel very “accessible to all” that the product sold out in the first day and hasn’t been restocked for almost two months while people with large followings continue to receive it for free… Hope I don’t sound too bitter. I’ve been a loyal Dr. Sam fan for years now and I’m just disappointed that fans like me haven’t been given a chance at these products yet.
You're NOT being bitter. You're right! I'm sick of influencers getting products to be sold out for the longest time for everyday consumers. It's ridiculous and it does the opposite affect for me. I can't get interested.
You should check pillow talk derm. Dr Idriss has her own brand and I think it’s amazing and the way she founded and did the research for her formulation. She’s very honest and her products are great quality
Just got an in-stock email about the Gleanser and snapped it right up. Sadly, by the time I checked, the urea lotion was out of stock. Still looking forward to the Gleanser because my perimenopausal skin is dying for a moisture-rich cleanser. Suddenly all of my favourites are incredibly drying. Crossing fingers that this stuff helps.
I understand the price-point comparison. However, I find with Prequel a little goes a long way with all the products (I've tried all but 3), making it cost-effective.
Hi Abbey ❤, Hope you're having a lovely weekend 😘! I never heard of this brand and liked hearing your thoughts and opinions in using the products. The brand's that you were comparing to with this one. I tried Cerave, and La Roche! Cerave my skin felt so tight after using and La Roche broke me out.
Hi Abbey this was my first time seeing your video, easy to watch and very easy to follow. I have a few of Prequel products, I wanted to love the Gleanser but found it so difficult to rinse. Maybe I should try using a microfiber cloth??? also watching you apply the urea moisturizer looked as if you were applying a cleanser, it look thick. Would appreciate your thoughts.
I have been wanting to try the urea milk moisturizer but it's been sold out. But even though I have not tried it yet I really appreciate that her skincare line is vegan and has well thought out ingredients and is relatively affordable. That is a combination of things that is somewhat hard to find at least in American brands.
lovely review! I just ordered the Gleanser and am waiting for it to arrive in the mail! have you tried the products in your body yet too, or only on your face? I'm looking forward for using them on both my body and face because lately my body skin has been super sensitive and have had to switch to fragrance free products. my facial skin is not sensitive and I can use a bunch of different actives on it, but I'm glad that I'll have a cleanser that has a dual purpose.
I bought both the cleanser and lotion, I enjoy both products, the Lotion does have a gritty texture, I thought it was supposed to be that way, until I watched your review.
I saw this line and was excited to buy it. The price of drugstore products has gotten more expensive even though, they look quite basic with the packaging and all. I tried CeraVe products and hated it lol. That's why I've been looking for alternatives. I'm currently signed up for the waitlist so, I can try all products at once. In the meantime, I'll be finishing my current skincare products.
I’ve watched some of Dr Sams videos and they are really good so was wondering about this brand, and also Dr Shereenes and Dr Vanita Rattans skincare brands.
Abbey, this is such a thoughtful and thorough video! I'm such a fan and truly honored that you took the time to delve into Prequel♥ I can't wait to share our upcoming launches soon!
Thank you so much for making a thoughtfully created brand with a more accessible price point! I hope more people review the line.
something seems a bit off, you just happen to be watching her videos, and you saw that she was reviewing your products, I’m sorry I don’t believe it.
I am so excited to see what’s next from your brand 😍 congrats on the launch ❤

Hi Abbey - there is another Dr Sam who is based in London and she has a great skincare line. Her name is Dr Sam Bunting who is also a dermatologist influencer and her “Dr Sam’s Flawless”skincare range is really interesting which I believe is worth your review. Her products are actives- focused without any BS ingredients.
I would love to see abbey review it! I haven't bought it cause it's expensive cause I'm in eu, there's tax and expensive delivery, u would love to hear is it worth it! ❤
Her products are good, but in 2023 there are better and in my opinion cheaper alternatives. Also the texture isn’t the most elegant one. But it works.
Hi, I love her products too and as someone with sensitive/acne/prone to hyperpigmentation skin and who just turn 40 her line is perfect. It's for those with sensitive skin but still need actives to fix other issues. It is expensive but her products have several skincare actives that target multiple problems at once which we have not seen much recently so you don't need to buy as many products. I like that she has never followed trends and stick to robust ingredients that are known to work.
Abbey if you rubbed your hands together with a little water, the prequel does foam up a little and works more efficiently ❤
Yes! EVERYTHING has niacinimide these days. My skin hates it. So glad there’s another cleanser without it 🙂
I'm so sick of niacinamide and ha in everything!
Me too! My skin hates niacinimide! It’s getting harder and harder to find anything without it.
@@lalablotz7348 It's annoying. We see it in everything because it's cheap to make like hyaluronic acid. 🙄 Then marketers hype this ingredient up like it's this magical fixer upper.
Same, my skin also reacts poorly to niacinimide and wish it wasn’t put into every “calming” product!!

Thank you so much for being so thorough! As someone with Rosacea, I have to be extra careful with my skincare. Your thoughts and experiences convinced me to give it a go.
Niacinamide irritates my skin so horribly. It’s nice to see a new product without that ingredient.
Thanks for the great review!
I appreciate that this line appears to be cruelty-free as well, since none of LRP, Cerave, or Cetaphil are!
Was looking her website but there is no cruelty free symbol. How be sure it's cruelty free ? Would you have some link please ?
The gleanser texture reminds me of the kravebeauty matcha hemp hydrating cleanser!

@@darcyb6678I have melasma and i got all dr. Idris products and I really like them.
Very impressive and thorough explanations and comparisons! Thanks Abbey
Hi Abbey. Newer subscriber here. Love your videos. I do love the Dr. Ellis’ Gleanser. Would you consider reviewing Dr. Shereene Idriss’ Pillowtalk Derm line? It’s a newer skincare launch also. Thanks!
Love spending my Sunday mornings with you!
"hers clear waters" is a wonderful, high concentration glycerin cleanser. I've been using it and loving it for over a year. I just picked up glenser, and they are indeed very similar in feel!
I have been waiting for the urea milk to come back in stock. I didn’t know about the texture issues, so no wonder it is taking a while.
Please do another review with the new products and the oil cleanser! I love your videos (especially the hair ones) but I'm so psyched to find out about these products because I need a new skincare routine but paulas choice was my go to and no one has 200 - 400 to spend on a routine.
Great video! Thank you Abbey! Love you and Dr. Sam! ❤😊
😊❤❤
I like Dr Sam Ellis, her rosacea info has been very helpful to me, i have mine under control now with a maintenance routine that works (also thanks to Dr Michelle Wong and Dr Dray). Grateful for your fantastic and well researched review. I will definitely try these products. I like that they are for the body as well.
I also love the glenser! I am now looking forward to receiving the skin barrier cream. Yes, I am very impressed with this brand. And she just teased about a new product. ???
Thanks Abby… I was wondering about this line!
I was excited by this launch being a follower of hers, but was disappointed by the ingredients……. Love your videos! ❤
Just wondering, what aspect of the ingredients list did you find disappointing?
@@MrsCurioCheerio I guess I expected to at least see ceramide’s. It seemed like it was supposed to be a step up from the drugstore ones you talked about and I just wanted more. To be fair I haven’t looked up the benefits of urea for example.
@@kristalynnblonski7931 That's understandable, I even had the same questions after looking at the products. I think Sam Ellis made a video saying that the current lineup doesn't contain ceramides because they preferred the formulations without them, but they may be looking to add products w/ ceramides in the future. But urea is good for smoothing and conditioning the skin, Dr. Dray should have lots of vids explaining the benefits if you're curious.
@@MrsCurioCheerio That’s really interesting and thank you for the info!
I always enjoy your brand review, it's been awhile. Thank you!
I've started to add extra glycerin to my face lotion every night as I apply and it seems to be very more hydrating.
Never thought about using the cerave (or any brand) healing ointment as an eye cream! I will def try that bc I need the hydration for my eye bags 😅
Thanks Abbey!! Appreciate your videos and you! Have a great day!! 🩵🩵
Thank you so much hope you have a great day too ❤❤❤
Love a derm influencer creating affordable products!!!
I love Prequel especially vitamin c serum and body lotion
I've seen people use the Gleanser on dry skin and allowed it to become a creamy lather before they add water. That seem to be an effective way to use this cleanser to remove makeup.
I absolutely love how the cleanser feels a bit like snail mucin and is so moisturizing
do a ulta/sephora/ high end mascara showdown
Rare beauty., tower 28 and YSL should be in that video
Oh it’s already in the works don’t worry 👀👀👀
@@AbbeyYung i forgot to say that i love you videos sm :)
Hello Abbey, I’ve purchased the Gleanser and Skin Utility Ointment and I like both of them quite a lot! I was unable to purchase the moisturizer because it sold out immediately. I do have to say, I used the Gleanser once after getting a haircut and shave at the barber, and it stung my skin really bad and made me turn red, which I was surprised about. Don’t know why that happened. The ointment has done great as a lip treatment and as a replacement for the CeraVe healing ointment since I just ran out of my tube of it. I use it for cuts and scrapes, and it heals the skin wonderfully. Lasts all night on my lips until I wake up in the AM. I have combo-oily, acne & clog prone skin for reference. (Which is why I don’t slug, and I’m prone to milia around my eyes.)
I’ve been wanting to try this since it launched in July but I’m a little frustrated with the brand. The urea lotion has been sold out for over a month and yet the brand keeps sending it to influencers. I understand that they want to get PR packages out, but it doesn’t feel very “accessible to all” that the product sold out in the first day and hasn’t been restocked for almost two months while people with large followings continue to receive it for free…
Hope I don’t sound too bitter. I’ve been a loyal Dr. Sam fan for years now and I’m just disappointed that fans like me haven’t been given a chance at these products yet.
You're NOT being bitter. You're right! I'm sick of influencers getting products to be sold out for the longest time for everyday consumers. It's ridiculous and it does the opposite affect for me. I can't get interested.
Hi-could you review the line of products by Dr. Shereene Idriss? She is a content producer too.
Fantastic review ❤
You should check pillow talk derm. Dr Idriss has her own brand and I think it’s amazing and the way she founded and did the research for her formulation. She’s very honest and her products are great quality
Just got an in-stock email about the Gleanser and snapped it right up. Sadly, by the time I checked, the urea lotion was out of stock. Still looking forward to the Gleanser because my perimenopausal skin is dying for a moisture-rich cleanser. Suddenly all of my favourites are incredibly drying. Crossing fingers that this stuff helps.
I understand the price-point comparison. However, I find with Prequel a little goes a long way with all the products (I've tried all but 3), making it cost-effective.
Does the Gleanser top have a lock feature? Small detail, but important to me!
Thanks for the review, Abbey! ❤️
You can turn it and it won’t go down
👏 Thanks for your thoughts and comparisons. Would love to hear your thoughts on the Lisa Eldridge cleanser.
Hi Abbey ❤, Hope you're having a lovely weekend 😘! I never heard of this brand and liked hearing your thoughts and opinions in using the products. The brand's that you were comparing to with this one. I tried Cerave, and La Roche! Cerave my skin felt so tight after using and La Roche broke me out.
Thank you for watching 🥰
YAYY ABBEY POSTED
🥰🥰🥰
Hi Abbey this was my first time seeing your video, easy to watch and very easy to follow.
I have a few of Prequel products, I wanted to love the Gleanser but found it so difficult to rinse. Maybe I should try using a microfiber cloth??? also watching you apply the urea moisturizer looked as if you were applying a cleanser, it look thick.
Would appreciate your thoughts.
I have been wanting to try the urea milk moisturizer but it's been sold out. But even though I have not tried it yet I really appreciate that her skincare line is vegan and has well thought out ingredients and is relatively affordable. That is a combination of things that is somewhat hard to find at least in American brands.
I wonder how many animals end up being k*lled during the agriculture process.
Dr Shereene is my favorite! ❤😍🤩
Please also review Dr. Shereen Idris’ brand!
I really like Dr Sam Ellis and just can tell she's a nice person from her videos
lovely review! I just ordered the Gleanser and am waiting for it to arrive in the mail! have you tried the products in your body yet too, or only on your face? I'm looking forward for using them on both my body and face because lately my body skin has been super sensitive and have had to switch to fragrance free products. my facial skin is not sensitive and I can use a bunch of different actives on it, but I'm glad that I'll have a cleanser that has a dual purpose.
I bought both the cleanser and lotion, I enjoy both products, the Lotion does have a gritty texture, I thought it was supposed to be that way, until I watched your review.
Would be good to review Dr Sam Buntings skincare. I really like her body lotion.
This is Gonna b so Helpful AY🔥🔥🔥👍n Happy Sunday😀….
Nice one, Abbey!❤❤
Morning Abbey!
I saw this line and was excited to buy it. The price of drugstore products has gotten more expensive even though, they look quite basic with the packaging and all. I tried CeraVe products and hated it lol. That's why I've been looking for alternatives. I'm currently signed up for the waitlist so, I can try all products at once. In the meantime, I'll be finishing my current skincare products.
I’ve watched some of Dr Sams videos and they are really good so was wondering about this brand, and also Dr Shereenes and Dr Vanita Rattans skincare brands.
This was a great review! May I also ask which camera/lights you use? Thank you
