Meet the Prequel Formulas Everyone's Talking About
It’s the passion project of Dr. Sam Ellis, a board-certified medical and cosmetic dermatologist from the United States. She calls her approach BASIC+: “We start with tried-and-true dermatologic ingredients and elevate them through thoughtful formulation, refined textures, and an exceptional user experience. I wanted to create a line of solution-focused products formulated to optimise skin health, be safe for those with chronic skin conditions, and provide an elevated user experience.”
If skincare made to support even the most difficult skin - without sacrificing the pleasure of your routine - sounds like a fit for you, meet the brand's must-try products, now at Space NK.
The Prequel Products You Need To Know About
Prequel
Gleanser, £ 20,00
The Bestselling Cleanser
If you only try one product, make it the Gleanser. Made with 50% glycerin (read: ultra-hydrating), prebiotic inulin and oat extract, this bestselling face and body gel cleanser removes every last trace of makeup, SPF and grime without leaving your face feeling dry. In fact, it almost feels like you've just applied a lightweight moisturiser rather than washed it off.
Prequel
Multi-Quench Hydration Mist, £ 20,00
The Glow-Boosting Mist
If your skin is persistently dry, this mist is a must-try. Polyglutamic acid is known to hold even more moisture in your skin than hyaluronic acid, working at multiple molecular weights to hydrate and plump from within. Osmolytes deliver immediate hydration the moment you apply it, while glycerin works over time to restore and strengthen your skin barrier. Mist on clean, dry skin to boost the absorption of your serums, or use it throughout the day whenever your skin needs a hit of hydration.
Prequel
Half & Half Fluid Moisturizer, £ 28,00
The Milky Moisturiser
This lightweight, milky moisturiser has been a hit since we launched Prequel at Space NK. With its fluid texture, it quite literally melts into your skin, powered by a ceramide complex to support your skin barrier, plus peptides and amino acids to leave it looking smoother, plumper and beautifully dewy. Oily skin types might wear it alone, while drier skin types can layer it beneath moisturiser to up your hydration levels.
Prequel
Universal Skin Solution Dermal Spray, £ 19,00
The Gym Bag Essential
Hypochlorous acid neutralises acne-causing bacteria to help prevent breakouts before they start, and Prequel's version comes in a lovely fine mist that helps calm reactive, sensitised or compromised skin. Plus, it’s earned the stamp of approval from the eczema, rosacea and psoriasis associations.
Prequel
Multi-Acid Milk Peel AHA Exfoliating Solution, £ 25,00
The Skin Softener
A milky serum formulated with exfoliating acids, including 15% glycolic, phytic, malic, mandelic and lactic acid, plus enzymes and squalane, working together to smooth, soften and brighten skin without overwhelming your skin barrier. And with its generous size, you won't feel precious about using it on uneven skin on your arms and legs too.
Prequel
AM/PM Modern Moisturizer, £ 20,00
The Everyday Moisturiser
No need for separate morning and night moisturisers, this does-it-all cream keeps skin comfortable with ceramides and hydrators, including glycerin, polyglycerides and vitamin F, that strengthen your barrier and lock in hydration.
