The cleanser completely changed the skin on my body. I suffer from extreme dryness, itchiness, frequent hive, outbreaks that dermatologist have not been able to figure out. I did my own research and found out my skin is not at the correct pH causing an impaired barrier and unhealthy micro biome. I have to use an exfoliating cleanser every day to correct the ph, but I still deal with dryness and this cleanser has healed my skin. I can feel not only surface level hydration, but deep into the skin layers there’s a healthiness and hydration I’ve never felt. I also absolutely love the vitamin C. I have never re-purchased a vitamin C, because I’ve never been impressed but I will definitely be purchased this again. I love the simple ingredient list, I love the correct pH and high strength, and even though I have The toughest skin in the world I do feel a slight warmth with this product which makes me happy. My skin is glowing so much. I am definitely going to check out the products for slugging because I’m not a big fan of using Vaseline.
I literally bought the SPF because of the short you posted on it and omg its sooo stunning! Zero breakouts or irritation and the finish is gorgeous. My makeup looks flawless all day over it!
Same! When I saw her review - I said - YEP, I ordered correctly ! I really can’t believe that I have just continued to reach for it daily. Out of all my others. It’s such a lux formula. I have dry skin and love the layering of the urea lotion then the sunscreen 🤌🏻
I just ordered a couple things and they sent a mini Gleanser, and I used it once and immediately went back to their site and ordered it, along with another moisturizer. This brand is great. She did a great job. I also am trying the vitamin C - my first one ever! Love your review.
I’m a skincare junkie and although I do not need another skincare brand, I will be definitely buying this brand😂😂 when it eventually reaches the UK …she said she’s working on it.
Another Dermatologist's brand you should review is Dr Shereene Idriss. Her products are largely geared toward hyperpigmentation, melasma, and rosacea. I have several Prequel products and like them.
@@DanaRipperton The Prequel cleanser was the one item I couldn't buy because it was sold out. I now have some en route and can't wait to try it out! Everyone raves about it and I LOVE creamy cleansers with lots of slip. Oh and as for Vitamin C products you MUST review the Vitamin C from Geek & Gorgeous. Their formula is the closest dupe to Skinceuticals I've seen and they make it FRESH weekly! The best part? It's even cheaper than Prequel's.
The Dr Idriss products are legit. The serum and moisturizer have noticeably lightened my hyperpigmentation from past acne, without irritating my sensitive skin.
I think the goals of those 2 lines are very different. I've gone through 2 full sets of the Dr. I ine, however these products are so affordable I had to try them and i am switching due to loving this and cost. I have other pigmentation routines @DanaRipperton
Firstly, I love that you have guidelines for commentary. I’ve recently found your channel and internally yelped when I saw you’d video. I can’t access Prequel since I’m in Australia but I’m hoping a global e-tailer will pick them up soon!
So, I’ve actually tried all her products too and here is my ranking so far!!! ❤️ 1. Gleanser - Can’t hype this up enough. Actually cleans your face but is still super moisturizing. It’s the only moisturizing cleanser that hasn’t left my skin feeling stripped. 2. Urea Lotion - If you’ve got KP on your legs etc, this so so great for that! It’s helped me so much! 3. Skin Utility Ointment - great for slugging or to rub under eyes at night. 4. Hypochlorous Acid - haven’t seen too much of an effect on this but hasn’t hurt either. 5. Barrier Repair Cream - Kind of indifferent on this one. Some people online have found it irritating 6. Vitamin C - Stung my face a bit and I also found it to be super sticky. Ended up retuning due to the sensitivity on my face 7. SPF - Also returned. If you have a darker complexion, this will leave a white cast on your skin that’s pretty bad. I would suggest staying away from it. Overall, I really love her product line. There were a couple of misses for me but the ones I love are definitely crucial to my routine. I’ve already ordered more bottles of the Urea Lotion, Ointment, and Gleanser.
Honestly Dana, this is probably one of the few selected brands I would like to try....I mean the price point is excellent; looking at the ingredients, there's no problem with that.... Personally, I find that hypochlorous acid not something I would use....the hype hasn't reached Europe yet 😅😅.. Hopefully Dr.Sam will be able to sell in Europe ( EU approved ingredients and concentrations) Thanks for reviewing this brand.... By the way...the sunscreen looks good on you!!!👍
I have a lot of products from a lot of different popular companies and many of them are good. But wow this cleanser and lotion are really impressive. My skin is very soft after even one use. I tried the hand film tonight. And that is really nice as well. I was like. Where was this one I was a busy mom and RN washing my hands all the time. Tried the foot cream tonight. It's the only product that thus far. I'm not a total fan of because of the petroleum in it. It did not glide on. But i'm sure that's part of the need to have that deep lubricating substance for your feet, if you have callous. I went back and reordered the cleanser and lotion. And I added the vitamin C. To give that a whirl.
Brands that would interest me: Sachi, EqualRxn, Smood, Opulent, Maelove, Depology, Sofie Pavitt, good light … I love any of your skincare reviews though ;)
Ordered some products right after watching. Thanks for this review! I'm particularly excited to try the sunscreen. I have hope that I can finally find that holy grail spf 50 at an affordable price.
I just placed an order for their new hand and foot creams and the urea lotion that’s back in stock and then came upon your review! Besides those items and the vitamin c and ointment, I have every item in their line and have been loving them. Regarding the HOCL spray I have to say I am so impressed with the packaging. The spray nozzle creates a fine mist-better than tower 28’s spray nozzle-and at a considerably lower price point. HOCL does wonders for people like me who are prone to getting bumps on the skin. As for the cleanser I am 100% with you: I wouldn’t care if every other cleanser ceased to exist, all I need is this one!
I just got the hand and foot cream too! I’m sure the HOCL is great for people who need it-I totally get that! And yes, the mist is pretty great. Wish more setting sprays had one like that 😂 the gleanser = 😍🤤🩷
Thanks for the great review! Definitely interested in some products: do any leave a tacky finish? Also would love a review of Ghost Democracy especially the SPF and peptide mist! Thanks again!
Do you mean, the moisturizers? If so, when I use them on my face I slather them on and then they can feel a bit tacky, but if you put a normal amount the sink in more. Especially the Urea moisturizer
I'm waiting for mine to come the sunscreen that is so I'm glad you did a review on it but you also really should put it all over your ears just what I've been told for so long so other than that your skin looks fabulous
Great review! I found that the mineral sunscreen does slightly irritate my eyes and makes me teary if it runs into my eyes but nothing compared to any chemical sunscreen and easily wipes off when that happens.
Question about the sunscreen! Does it stain your clothes if you apply it to your neck? They always stain my collars :( That’s why I don’t like tinted…Pleas let me know! Also would you still wear it over Asian sunscreens? Is it equally light?
I really appreciate your in-depth review! I’ve been eyeing the gleanser for a quite while. I know this question is a bit late, but for the universal skin solution, is the spray top unscrew-able so you can refill it with, say, another hypochlorous acid solution?
the frequency at which they are releasing these products frightens me a little bit. i'm sure they're good products, but it feels a bit like the "fast fashion of skincare" approach the inkey list followed. i'm still very curious to try some of these though; the hypochlorous mist, foot salve, and urea lotion look quite nice.
My guess is they developed the majority of the line already, and to keep people talking about them instead of launching with all of the products, they spread it out. It doesn’t frighten me at all though, seeing as each product is unique…unlike The Inkey List which has multiples of every product
@@DanaRipperton ooh, have you tried the geek & gorgeous c-glow serum? it's a 15% vitamin c serum, much like the lucen-c. if you pick it up i'd love to see a comparison!
Geek and Gorgeous has an amazing vitamin C serum for $13.90. It also contains ferulic acid and vitamin E, it's produced in small batches to preserve the freshness. So, a $23 vitamin C serum is not very cheap.
I am waiting until I finish my current Vit c’s to buy theirs! I would argue though that there will always be cheaper products out there, so sure, $13 is cheaper, but $23 is still pretty cheap. It’s not always a competition for these things
Loved the review, purchased a few items and just received. Love Prequel so far. Just a curious question- do you work for Prequel, a couple times you said this is our… like this is our sunscreen. Love the products I purchased so far regardless but just wondering if you’re affiliated somehow. Thank you for the review!
Hahaha I definitely don’t work for them or have an affiliate code with them. I’ll have to re-watch bc I don’t believe I would have said ‘our’ but I’ll check
They you for clarifying, I just wanted to confirm and I think it’s easy to say”our” in conversation but not to mean your necessarily affiliated with a particular company. Thanks again and great review!
My favorite is also the cleanser from Prequel. Question about the sunscreen-whenever I put it on, the sunscreen always peels or ends up in clumps on my skin. Do you happen to know why?
i was watching an old purito moisturizers video, I recently bought purito deep water sea cream but it stings my skin what it could be? help!! (btw i have normal dehydrated skin sentisitive and prone to acne)
Your skin could be sensitized and the moisture barrier is messed up. I’d recommend scaling back and not using any active ingredients/strong skincare. Gentle cleansers and basic moisturizers with no scents. Let your moisture barrier repair
Nice review! I’m wondering if this cleanser is similar to the Cerave hydrating oil cleanser. A lot of the ingredients look similar. Although the brand looks totally fine, I feel like I probably just don’t really need it since there are already some nice drugstore options out there. Either way, good to know
Absolutely NOT the same at all. It’s 100 times better. I have a brand review of Cerave coming up too and would 100% recommend the Gleanser over the Cerave one
