Prequel Pre-Gleanse Oil Cleanser 13.5 oz Unscented — Double-Cleansing with Cica, Non-Comedogenic

Prequel Skin Pre-Gleanse Oil Cleanser is an unscented, non-comedogenic first-step cleansing oil that dissolves makeup, sunscreen, and sebum while transforming into a clean, rinseable milk.

This lightweight oil cleanser is designed for the first phase of a double-cleansing routine. It uses nourishing plant-derived oils, including Cica oil and rice bran, combined with a water-activated emulsifier system so it lifts away waterproof makeup and pollutants without stripping the skin. The formula is fragrance-free and pH-stabilized to accommodate a wide range of skin types, and it’s presented in a pump bottle sized for regular home use.

How does this oil cleanser remove heavy makeup and sunscreen?

The formula starts as an oil to bind and dissolve oil-soluble products like mascara, lipstick, and sunscreen. On contact with water it emulsifies into a milky lotion, allowing you to rinse thoroughly without greasy residue. This two-phase action makes it effective at breakdown and removal while being gentle on the skin barrier.

• Oil-based lift targets waterproof and longwear products
• Emulsifying technology creates a milky rinse for easy removal
• Non-comedogenic composition prevents pore-clogging
• Pump delivery for consistent, hygienic dosing

What nourishing ingredients are included and why do they matter?

Prequel blends Cica oil with linoleic and linolenic acids and rice bran oil to hydrate and support the skin’s natural lipids while removing impurities. These ingredients help preserve moisture balance and reduce the sensation of tightness after cleansing, making the product suitable for both dry and oily complexions.

• Cica oil for soothing and lipid-supportive properties
• Linoleic and linolenic acids for skin barrier nourishment
• Rice bran oil for lightweight, non-greasy hydration
• Fragrance-free to minimize irritation for sensitive skin

Will this leave my skin feeling greasy or interfere with the next skincare steps?

No — the Clean Rinse Technology converts the oil into a rinseable milk that clears away without leaving a film. After rinsing, skin feels soft, balanced, and primed for a water-based cleanser or treatment, so serums and moisturizers absorb more effectively.

• Milky emulsification rinses clean with water
• No heavy or tacky residue to block absorption of follow-ups
• Preps skin for optimal penetration of serums and creams
• Designed for use before your second-step cleanser in double cleansing

How should I use Prequel Pre-Gleanse in my skincare routine?

Use this oil as your first cleanse on dry skin: pump, massage to dissolve makeup and oils, then add water to emulsify and rinse. Follow with your regular water-based face wash for a thorough double cleanse and continue with serums and moisturizers as usual.

• Apply 1–2 pumps to dry skin and massage gently
• Add a little water to emulsify into a milky texture, then rinse
• Complete with a second cleanser for deeper cleansing
• Patch-test if you have highly reactive skin

Who is this for: Prequel Skin Pre-Gleanse Oil Cleanser is ideal for people who wear daily makeup or sunscreen, those who prefer a fragrance-free product, and anyone following a double-cleansing regimen. It suits sensitive, dry, combination, and oily skin types because it removes oil-based impurities without stripping moisture, and its non-comedogenic formulation helps prevent pore congestion. If you seek an effective first-step cleanser that primes skin for subsequent treatments, this oil cleanser is formulated to fit seamlessly into that routine.
