I’m so happy you finally released a sunscreen! I absolutely LOVE that you clarify that this sunscreen may not work on all skin tones instead of lying like most skincare brands about the white cast. That’s so rare to see and I’m glad you can actually admit it. Keep being transparent like this, it’s unfortunately a rarity in the beauty industry. You have a solid skincare line that deserves all the praise in the world, and your brand’s code of ethics truly understands the consumer base.
The fact that you were so upfront and honest about the white cast on deeper skin tones is why you've a repeat and dedicated customer in me. Thank you!!
Pass for me because my light-medium latinx skin always shows a cast, BUT I love the idea of having multiple to push people to use sunscreen as more options exist for everyone!
While normally I prefer chemical sunscreens, when my skin is irritated, even some korean chemical sunscreens can be irritating to my skin; so that's when I'll opt for a mineral sunscreen. My skin rarely ever gets mad at those. I've wanted to try out all your products for a while, but I think this is the one I'm the most excited for!!
Love love LOVE Prequel! It is the best skincare I have ever used! I am very thankful for it. It far exceeds what is available in the drugstore or at high-end skin clinics. Absolutely the best! I love the cleanser and the vitamin C especially.
This sunscreen is a lie, this is not mineral, this has butiloctyl salicitate which is an unregulated chemical filter very similar to octinoxate. Michelle beauty lab mugging explains about it. Stop lying. This is why you get the PA ++++ without giving a white cast because she uses less zinc and a lot of this filter.
I tried it today 😮. oh my gosh, im absolutely floored. i’m 63 and spend hundreds every year searching for my sunscreen. i keep going back to skin1004 centella & beauty of josen . they are ok but i need and like iron oxides for pigmentation. It’s so nice!! i had too many layers of serums under it and got some pilling but when i reapplied later it was perfect!!! Thank you!! i’m so happy with it! ❤
Love this sunscreen! Would also love to see a more pigmented tinted sunscreen that could function as a light foundation. 😊 Looking forward to Prequel's future launches!
Latinx person here with olive skin. I just watched Ramon applying this sunscreen on IG and immediately went online and ordered two units lol. Excellent price! It really looked great on him and since our skin tones are similar I am confident this will suit my skin well. Since I have extra sensitive skin, I'm very excited about the soothing ingredients in the formula
You know what ,for a mineral sunscreen i think with the formulation you've tried your best to minimize the whitecast on deeper skin tones , and i prefer that zinc oxides reflect aun rays ,so i will purchase this but layer makeup on top to cover the ashiness
Thanks....I don't know why creators don't mention that Titanium Dioxide doesn't stop all the UVA Rays, and Zinc Oxide is far preferable. Glad you used this instead of titanium dioxide.
I have literally bought all of you product line. I am just missing the hand and foot creams. I am loving every single product I have tried. I am happy to make a switch. I am waiting to receive this sunscreen and the body cream. So excited to try.
Can’t wait to try this. I have dozens of bottles of sunscreens which have been failures-too thick, too greasy, too shiny, too much tint etc. Its very smart that you are planning to have a line of sunscreens for different preferences.
Pleaseeeeeeee make a sweat resistant sunscreen ❤ 🙏🏼 in the summer I sweat SO much and sunscreens come off more easily and i have to reapply so much. I mainly use Japanese sunscreen as of right now because they have “sweat proof” sunscreens and LOVE them
How did you get the PA label? Can you talk about that? Was it expensive? I’d be really interested to see a video about your experience navigating testing and regulations, maybe together with the people who helped you.
Hi Sam, I love this sunscreen and it works so well for my skin! Thank you! Could you please do a video breaking down Butyloctyl Salicylate? I see so many comments online about how this is a chemical sunscreen component (being sneakily put into mineral sunscreens). I feel like there's a lot of misinformation about it and I would love to hear you explain it. Your videos are so easy to understand and they help me make great skincare purchases.
You are very informative and very straightforward and open. I find that skin care brands TH-cam’s have such short and uninformative videos and they are useless to me. This tells me a lot of how I might like this product and how it might feel on my skin. I’ve used a ton of sunscreens so it’s rare that I’m feeling this good about trying a new one. I wear a lot of sunscreen so I’m not new to this game but I think those that are will find this informative and useful!
THANKYOUUU!!!! I need to use mineral sunscreen. I love the formula of chemicals but they always burn my eyes. My skin is extremely sensitive! I’m happy I can now use a sunscreen that won’t burn my eyes but also enjoy the formula ❤
Hey Dr. Ellis! So excited to try this! Please also consider making a tinted sunscreen in the future (if you’re thinking about what product to launch next).
I have just ordered the sunscreen since my friend is in the USA right now and will bring it home with her. With The cost of Duty ( 28.00) extra is just to much to have it shipped to Canada. Hopefully some day that will be covered.
Perfect timing, I was just looking to try a new mineral sunscreen. Loving your gleanser and barrier repair! Also want to try your vit C. Your price points have been great so far.
Thank you ever so much for coming out with this sunscreen. I do prefer mineral sunscreens because chemical sunscreens irritate my eyes. And thank you for adding a tint. I use sunscreen everyday, no matter what. My daughter struggles with finding the right sunscreen. I'll be grabbing a tube for her. May I ask if it's cruelty free? Thank you ever so much. Congratulations on your new product! ❤
I just created an account at Prequel. I haven't always been a subscriber but I think your advice for skincare is good. I love your formulations and have been wanting to try a urea lotion on my face. I have rosacea, ocular rosacea and very pale sensitive skin. I just purchased your sunscreen and ointment. Thank you! and can't wait to try~
chemical sunscreens burn my eyes. just used this one for the first time today. so far, i like it. the peach did not make me look peachy/orange, it blended nicely, and feels nice.
Order placed! Looking forward to trying it. I wear sunscreen every day, the proper amount, so I use it as my moisturizer or top layer in skincare routine.
I’m glad to hear you are launching multiple sunscreens, although I probably won’t purchase; I’m such a big fan of the UV filters that we can’t get in the US! However I’m excited to try your other skincare
$22 is fairly pricey for such a small bottle, especially if you’re applying the proper amount and reapplying throughout the day. wish the bottle would be larger, i think 100ml or 150ml is much more suitable of a size for daily use.
If we're going by the 1/4 tsp rule for applying sunscreen to the face, this 1.7oz bottle contains about 40 uses. I know sunscreen is super important but I would get tired of going through a bottle of this in less than a month and a half.
@@amassofcontradictions4693 exactly. it sucks that the default sunscreen size for mid-range to high end brands is 50ml now. it’s just not enough. if we get approximately a month and a half out of this bottle, that’d mean we would have to repurchase it 9 times a year, which adds up to $198/year BEFORE taxes and shipping.
Congratulations on your new sunscreen! I can't wait to try it! I have a question, if sunscreens absorb UV radiation, how do we get Vit D from the sun? or suncreens allows vit D from the sun to be absorbed to our skin.?
This sunscreen unfortunately did not work out for me. It was itchy on first application, and at the end of the day, when I washed it off, my face was red. For the record, I have eczema prone skin, and I am very disappointed as I wanted this to work out.
I recently heard that if you struggle with brown spots, the best sunscreen is tinted. Not sure why… but wondering if this is true. I don’t have many wrinkles, but brown spots are my biggest issue..plus I have already had 2 skin cancer surgeries on my face, so sunscreen is a non-negotiable. Thanks
I don't understand why call it a mineral sunscreen when you're using butyloctyl salicylate? butyloctyl salicylate acts the same as octisalate, but is less studied. Why not just use octisalate and call it a combo sunscreen?
I really like all of the other Prequel products I have tried but I really have a problem with the sunscreen. It always pills. I have even tried it on bare skin. This morning I tried once again about 20 minutes after applying Prequel vitamin C on clean skin. It pulled again and I had to brush away the pills before leaving the house. I give up and will need to go back to my other sunscreens.
I was excited upon reading about this product but I looked on list of ingredients and it's scary. There's one ingredient that's 38 letters long. If the list is foreign sounding and you can't understand what it is by reading it I'm not putting it on my skin.
Please make larger sizes, at least 2 oz. I dont know why so man6 companies make the 1.7 size. That wont last me more than 2 months. Also would appreciate a tinted version.
I was excited to put it on after moisturizing but after I applied and wait about 10 minutes but turnout it made my face so oily, not sure how I gonna put my makeup over, I use powder make up and I always use less makeup, anyone has any ideas how to fix the problem? Please let me know. 😅
I have a question about one of the ingredients- on those sites that check products for pore clogging ingredients, it has Diisooctyl Succinate listed as an issue. Is that ingredients formulated in some specific way to make it non comedogenic in this sunscreen? i’m confused because online there is so much conflicting information. if you get a chance to answer- thank you!

Yes and hopefully if it does well they can expand their shade range.

Pass for me because my light-medium latinx skin always shows a cast, BUT I love the idea of having multiple to push people to use sunscreen as more options exist for everyone!
I love this but wish it was much larger since it’s SO important and we need so much of it 🥺
Yes! I hope they come out with an all-over sunscreen in a very large container, maybe with a pump!
@@Keepitcurious1685 YES! Especially with Prequel’s track record of coming out with huge products at such a good price 🤞🏼
I agree, we need a jumbo size of this!!!
Dr. Ellis reminds me so much of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy. So classy and lovely.
While normally I prefer chemical sunscreens, when my skin is irritated, even some korean chemical sunscreens can be irritating to my skin; so that's when I'll opt for a mineral sunscreen. My skin rarely ever gets mad at those. I've wanted to try out all your products for a while, but I think this is the one I'm the most excited for!!

Woohoo! So happy you’re loving it as much as I do!
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS WISHING FOR!! IM ORDERING 10:) tysm for making such effective, affordable, elegant formulas❤❤❤
speaking as someone allergic to chemical filters
Yaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy bring Prequel to Canada, pleeease!
Yes please deliver to Canada!!!!
I tried the sunscreen and it is INCREDIBLE!!!
Love this sunscreen! Would also love to see a more pigmented tinted sunscreen that could function as a light foundation. 😊 Looking forward to Prequel's future launches!
I hope you will eventually ship to Canada! This sunscreen really looks ideal.
I ordered mine already and I am SO excited!! Please launch this in a full body-friendly sized container next please :)
I was SO excited when I saw the email about a sunscreen this morning! Finally have a moment to watch this video! 🎉

It really looked great on him and since our skin tones are similar I am confident this will suit my skin well.
Since I have extra sensitive skin, I'm very excited about the soothing ingredients in the formula
I can’t wait for your products to ship to Canada!!!! (And or Europe)
Ahh I can’t wait for other spf you will come out. Hopefully the new spf will have a satin finish 😊
You know what ,for a mineral sunscreen i think with the formulation you've tried your best to minimize the whitecast on deeper skin tones , and i prefer that zinc oxides reflect aun rays ,so i will purchase this but layer makeup on top to cover the ashiness
Congratulations! I am thrilled you are doing a variey of sunscreens..how cool is that? !
Thanks....I don't know why creators don't mention that Titanium Dioxide doesn't stop all the UVA Rays, and Zinc Oxide is far preferable. Glad you used this instead of titanium dioxide.
Love your products. Can’t wait for my next order. International shipping anyone?
Looking forward to this, I am excited to use this. I absolutely LOVE all other products thus far❤❤❤
I’m ordering this, I love your vitamin c 🙌🏼🙌🏼 way to go Dr Ellis!!
Dr Sam, internacional shipping for when? Can’t wait 😘☺️
I have literally bought all of you product line. I am just missing the hand and foot creams. I am loving every single product I have tried. I am happy to make a switch. I am waiting to receive this sunscreen and the body cream. So excited to try.
Butyloctyl Salicylate makes this a hybrid sunscreen
Can’t wait to try this. I have dozens of bottles of sunscreens which have been failures-too thick, too greasy, too shiny, too much tint etc. Its very smart that you are planning to have a line of sunscreens for different preferences.
Well, please, I would like to buy it if you shipped to Australia 🇦🇺 ❤
❤please sell samples for travel!! Love the products!❤❤❤
Please bring Prequel to Canada！
Pleaseeeeeeee make a sweat resistant sunscreen ❤ 🙏🏼 in the summer I sweat SO much and sunscreens come off more easily and i have to reapply so much. I mainly use Japanese sunscreen as of right now because they have “sweat proof” sunscreens and LOVE them

Butyloctyl salicylate in the ingredients - isn’t this technically a chemical filter? Please educate.
Yes yes yes! Ordered ordered ordered!
And Urea moisturizer is in stock… ordered ordered ordered that too!
You are very informative and very straightforward and open. I find that skin care brands TH-cam’s have such short and uninformative videos and they are useless to me.

Can’t wait to try this one day - Hope you ship to Canada soon!!
love a mineral sunscreen as my skin does not like chemical sunscreens!!! can't wait to buy.
Just ordered my first Prequel products❤❤❤❤so excited, I’ve heard wonderful things about the brand!
THANKYOUUU!!!! I need to use mineral sunscreen. I love the formula of chemicals but they always burn my eyes. My skin is extremely sensitive! I’m happy I can now use a sunscreen that won’t burn my eyes but also enjoy the formula ❤
Hey Dr. Ellis! So excited to try this! Please also consider making a tinted sunscreen in the future (if you’re thinking about what product to launch next).
Ordered! I’m so excited as an avid sunscreen user but struggle constantly with finding a formula that works in the dry heat of the AZ desert.
Sounds amazing!!! Just ordered along with the Lucent-C. Can't wait to try them both! ❤
We hope you love them both!
Girl I am STOKED about this
We need all this in Canada please 🇨🇦❤️😭😭😭
Been wishing the same since she lunched. Products seem awesome especially affordable ❤️
Id love a water-resistant one that works under makeup without white cast. Its super hot where I live. Anything less sweats off in 5 minutes.
I have just ordered the sunscreen since my friend is in the USA right now and will bring it home with her. With The cost of Duty ( 28.00) extra is just to much to have it shipped to Canada. Hopefully some day that will be covered.
Please, please, PLEASE ship to Australia (for a reasonable price)! 🙏🙏🙏
Excited to try your whole line!!
I love this brand and was wondering when a sunscreen would be released. I can’t wait to get my hands on this!! Thank you Dr Ellis!!!
We are so excited for you to try it!
Perfect timing, I was just looking to try a new mineral sunscreen. Loving your gleanser and barrier repair! Also want to try your vit C. Your price points have been great so far.
Why make a “mineral” spf with butyloctyl salicylate? I understand that you’re making a chemical spf as well, but it’s a bit deceptive.
just got mine in the mail and super sheer and beautiful on me as a medium skin girly❤
When will I be able to get it in Australia.
Would love to see one that is non-comedogenic for those of us with tan/skin of color! Tnx dr.Sam Ellis
Glad you mentioned this wouldn't work for all skin tones. Looking forward to your other SPF products.
Thank you ever so much for coming out with this sunscreen. I do prefer mineral sunscreens because chemical sunscreens irritate my eyes. And thank you for adding a tint. I use sunscreen everyday, no matter what. My daughter struggles with finding the right sunscreen. I'll be grabbing a tube for her. May I ask if it's cruelty free?
Thank you ever so much. Congratulations on your new product! ❤
I've been seeing a lot about prequel on youtube and didn't realize it was your brand! Now I'm interested in checking it out!!
As someone with a sensitivity to chemical sunscreens, this looks awesome! Will Prequel be shipping to Canada?
Canada is calling 😂

When are you going to deliver to the UK please? 😭
Prequel retinol when 👁️👄👁️
How about retinaldehyde, that I would jump on 😊
Just got mine and am loving it. Please restock the cleanser!

When will your cleanser be back in stock?
Plans to do a tinted mineral sunscreen? I LOVE the gleanser and skin barrier moisturizer!

I think $198 is a small price to pay for your health (skin health, skin cancers etc). Prioritising your health puts the price in perspective.
@@ginalawley2050 still, it’s not cost competitive against other sunscreens on the market with the same protection.
thank you for such an amazing brand!! please come out with body lotion that is made for acne prone skin without TREATING acne 🔥🔥
Congratulations on your new sunscreen! I can't wait to try it!
I have a question, if sunscreens absorb UV radiation, how do we get Vit D from the sun? or suncreens allows vit D from the sun to be absorbed to our skin.?
Can we have a larger tube sometime in the future as well? Since we have to apply often and would go through it quickly
Deliver to Canada???
Doesn’t look like it. 😏
Can you explain the difference between your barrier therapy cream and your urea advanced relief milk?
Wonderful work Doc.
Any plans to launch at target, ulta etc.? Would be nice to see your products in store for accessibility purposes
so excited!! Already ordered 😆
We hope you love it!
Oooo! Def interested in trying this out! 😮

Make a mineral sunscreen without chemical spf boosters challenge❗️ failed.
I think this might work for me because most sunscreens irritate my skin, so all the soothing ingredients might prevent that

Love in the launch!… How about them restocks though…? 😊
I was excited upon reading about this product but I looked on list of ingredients and it's scary. There's one ingredient that's 38 letters long. If the list is foreign sounding and you can't understand what it is by reading it I'm not putting it on my skin.
Micronized nano zinc is more cosmetically elegant and offers better protection than non-nano zinc.
I was always told the amount is the length of your pointer finger and middle finger, and now it’s three fingers?
Dr Ellis,
what is the "critical wavelength" for your mineral sunscreen? 370 or 400 nm?
Will your brand be available in canada one day ?
I’m so excited for this!❤🎉 Congrats! Are the ingredients fungal acne safe? Or safe for malasezzia-prone skin?
Please make larger sizes, at least 2 oz. I dont know why so man6 companies make the 1.7 size. That wont last me more than 2 months. Also would appreciate a tinted version.
