INGREDIENT LOG
Our Barrier Therapy Skin Protectant Cream for face and body is part of Prequel's skin protectants collection, a drug category identified by the FDA meant to protect injured or exposed skin from harmful or annoying stimuli while helping to provide relief to the skin. Containing 1% Colloidal Oatmeal, our Barrier Therapy Skin Protectant Cream addresses dryness, eczema flare-ups, and atopic dermatitis.
Hydration is the foundation of a healthy skin barrier. Building on our love of the Multi-Quench Polyglutamic Acid Serum, we wanted to create a mist version to help refresh hydration —and add radiance—throughout the day. The result is a lightweight formula that's as effective as a serum. It’s a new on-the-go essential for keeping skin hydrated, refreshed, and glowy all day long.
Pure PGA + PGA Complex is a multi-molecular weight polyglutamic acid blend that enhances skin moisture retention and helps increase the production of natural moisturizing factors (NMF) for plumper, smoother skin.
Glycerin + Aloe are osmolytes that improve skin hydration, enhance surface elasticity, and soothe.
Niacinamide is a stable form of vitamin B3 that helps smooth skin texture, lock in moisture, and visibly brighten skin tone.
Retinoids are the backbone of any great skincare routine, but they have a reputation for not being something you look forward to applying. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce Retinal Renew: It’s an advanced retinaldehyde gel that’s powerful enough to deliver the true benefits of retinal, gentle enough to use consistently, and texturally exceptional.
Hydroxysomes Retinaldehyde are a part of the retinoid family closest to retinoic acid on the conversion scale, making it more potent and bioavailable than retinol.
The right skincare routine for dry skin focuses on replenishing hydration, supporting barrier function, and protecting against further water loss. With consistent steps and barrier-focused products, dry skin can feel softer, smoother, and more resilient.
While oily skin can be frustrating, natural oils do play a role in keeping skin healthy and youthful-looking. The goal isn’t to remove oil entirely, but to balance skin so it feels clean, smooth, and less prone to congestion. With the right skincare products for oily skin, the skin can feel comfortable without being stripped.
Combination skin has both oily and dry areas, usually an oily T-zone and drier cheeks. This can make it tricky to care for, since one part of the face needs oil control while the other needs added hydration. Breakouts may appear in the oily areas, while the dry zones can feel tight or flaky. With the right skincare routine for combination skin, both areas of the face can feel more comfortable.
Acne-prone skin is often oily and congested, showing blackheads, whiteheads, and pimples that may leave behind visible marks. The most effective skincare products for acne-prone skin balance oil control with barrier-first hydration. Gentle cleansing, targeted treatments, and consistent sunscreen use all help reduce breakouts and improve clarity over time.
The most effective skincare routine for aging skin combines hydration, targeted serums, and daily sun protection. With the right skincare routine for aging skin, skin can feel smoother, more comfortable, and supported through its natural aging process.
We’re thrilled to introduce a third formula to our Gleanser family: Gleanser + Glycolic, our non-drying glycolic acid cleanser for face and body. Gleanser + Glycolic is formulated with 5% glycolic acid, which is the perfect amount of glycolic acid in a cleanser to effectively exfoliate and impart glow while still being gentle on the skin.Â

Glycerin is a cosmetic ingredient and OTC skin protectant that has been well studied and is widely used as a humectant. It is known for its ability to improve skin hydration, enhance cutaneous elasticity, and restore the epidermal barrier.
Formulated with salicylic acid, a well studied ingredient that is beneficial for the skin, our new Gleanser + SA cleanser performs on the skin to disrupt the glue between skin cells which promotes gentle exfoliation and encourages cellular renewal for smoother, clearer looking skin.
