Prequel Pre-Gleanse Oil Cleanser — Unscented 6.5 oz Double-Cleansing Makeup Remover with Cica, Non-Comedogenic

Prequel Skin Pre-Gleanse Oil Cleanser is an unscented, non-comedogenic oil-based makeup remover designed as the first step in a double-cleansing routine to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and excess oils while rinsing clean.

This lightweight pre-cleanse blends oil-soluble ingredients and gentle surfactants to lift stubborn waterproof cosmetics and surface impurities without stripping natural moisture. Enriched with cica oil, linoleic and linolenic acids, and rice bran oil, the formula transforms to a milky emulsion on contact with water so it rinses away fully, leaving skin soft and ready for a second, water-based cleanse.

How does this oil cleanser remove makeup without leaving a greasy film?

The formula uses an emulsifying "clean rinse" system that turns the oil into a milky texture when you add water, allowing dirt and makeup to bind to the oil and then wash away. Mild surfactants work with the oils to lift oil-based sunscreens and waterproof products without aggressive stripping.

• Emulsifies on contact with water for a residue-free finish
• Removes waterproof makeup and sunscreen effectively
• Non-greasy after rinsing, preps skin for a second cleanse

Is this suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

Prequel formulated the cleanser to be fragrance-free and pH-stabilized, using non-comedogenic oils and soothing cica to minimize irritation. It’s laboratory-tested for purity and designed to support the skin barrier while removing impurities, which helps reduce the need for harsh detergents that can aggravate sensitive skin.

• Fragrance-free and mild for sensitive complexions
• Non-comedogenic oils reduce risk of pore-clogging
• Cica and essential fatty acids support moisture balance

How do I use Pre-Gleanse in my skincare routine?

Apply 1–2 pumps to dry skin and massage to dissolve makeup and surface oils. Add a little water to emulsify the oil into a milky texture, then rinse thoroughly and follow with your regular water-based cleanser for a complete double cleanse.

• Step 1: Pump onto dry face and massage for 30–60 seconds
• Step 2: Add water to emulsify, then rinse well
• Step 3: Continue with a gentle water-based cleanser

What key ingredients are in the formula and what do they do?

Pre-Gleanse combines premium-grade cica oil with linoleic and linolenic acids and rice bran oil to provide nourishment while removing oils and makeup. These components help maintain skin softness and support a healthy barrier without leaving occlusive residue.

• Cica oil for soothing and barrier support
• Linoleic and linolenic acids to help replenish essential lipids
• Rice bran oil for lightweight conditioning and easy rinsing

Who is this for: Prequel Skin Pre-Gleanse Oil Cleanser is made for anyone who wears sunscreen or makeup daily and wants a gentle, effective first cleanse. It’s well suited to people with dry, oily, combination, or sensitive skin who prefer fragrance-free, non-comedogenic formulas and who practice double-cleansing to ensure a clean, balanced base for serums and moisturizers.
