Q: Is this safe to use if you have rosacea?

submitted by Kash52 - 2 years ago

  • A: Not a doctor but a rosacea sufferer, also. What bothers one person’s skin could be tolerated extremely well by the next. That being said, I think it’s a very well formulated vitamin C and Dr. Sam Ellis (the creator of Prequel) has rosacea, too.

    submitted byTlynn - 2 years ago

  • A: This product has not been tested specifically on those with rosacea. Every skin type is different and we recommend always patch test any new product prior to full use and listen to your skin.

Q: Should the product be yellow?

submitted by YC - 2 years ago

  • A: Yes but be sure to use within 3 months of opening to ensure full efficacy.

    submitted byFrom Prequel Website - 2 years ago

  • A: It is normal for the Lucent-C serum to vary in color ranging from clear to pale yellow to yellow. This is due to the actives within the formula but it does not mean the formula will not be effective.

Q: Should this product be used if the multi quench serum is already in my routine? Are they doing the same thing?

submitted by Kfol - 3 months ago

  • A: You can absolutely use Prequel Lucent-C Vitamin C Serum and Prequel Multi-Quench Plumping Hydration Serum together. We recommend applying Lucent-C first in the AM, allowing it to fully absorb/dry, then follow with Multi-Quench, moisturizer, and SPF

    Amazing but watery

    I definitely notice a difference in darker spots and overall skin brightness. I wish it wasn’t so watery, it would be nice if it was a little thicker.

    So good for my skin

    This one is great to use for my skin! It works so well and it absorbs right in. It has left my skin so plump and soft to use. It lightens all the dark spots so well and its formula is so hydrating to use for my sensitive skin. gifted by prequelskin

    Absorbs quickly no scent

    I was gifted by prequelskin this serum and I am surprisingly impressed. The serum absorbs into my skin instantly and doesn’t leave that sticky feeling most serums leave. I top it with my moisturizer and everything layers on smoothly without any pilling.

    Nice

    I received this vitamin c serum complimentary from Prequel Skin. I like the easy to use pump bottle rather than dropper, and the opaque bottle helps keep the vitamin c stable. It's lightweight and absorbs well without feeling greasy. My skin looks brighter and smoother.

    Bright, Glowy Skin

    This vitamin c serum has become a perfect part of my AM skincare routine. It works well with all my other products and does not irritate my sensitive skin. The very light texture absorbs into the skin well not leaving any stickiness. My skin appears brighter and more glowy as well as a bit more plump. And for the price point of this vitamin c serum you cannot go wrong! Gifted by prequelskin.

    great add on

    I like that I was able to easily incorporate this into my skincare routine (after my toner and before my moisturizer) and my face has visibly brightened. Overall, I enjoyed the consistency of the serum plus the packaging is pretty cute and easy to use. complimentary from Prequel Skin

    Love this

    I love this vitamin C serum. It reminds me so much of a much more expensive serum I’ve used in the past. It even smells the same. I’ve seen some others upset about the scent but it’s not bad to me personally and it dissipates very quickly. The texture is really nice, it absorbs nicely into the skin. I’ve noticed my skin looks brighter and more even. I love it. *gifted by prequelskin

    Big fan

    complimentary from prequelskin. I have super sensitive skin and find it usually very difficult to find a good vitamin c serum that won’t irritate my skin. This one helps with noticeably brightening while keeping my skin calm

    So effective

    Finally dared to wear this formula after many years. My skin used to break out every time I tried and it was so bad. I would ask my dermatologist and they would all tell me how amazing it is but leave it if it’s not working. I started using this little at a time to see if I break out! And I actually saw difference on the little part that I was applying to regularly! There was a stark difference! Gifted by prequel skin.

    Nice glow

    Been trying it for a few days and it hasn’t caused any breakouts. It gives me a nice glow. I wish they would fix the packaging it usually squirts out the bottle it’s also very watery and smells odd

    Love it so much

    I have used this vitamin C several times and I genuinely love it. It’s so easy and safe to use and does not oxidize. It truly brightens my skin and I love having it in my collection. It layers as well with other skincare items too. #gifted by prequelskin

    Serum yes, packaging no.

    I was meant to receive this product complimentary from prequelskin but never received it in the mail. Nevertheless, I was interested so I went out and purchased it myself. The scent is powerful but indicative of a Vitamin C that is potent. I love the application and the glow I’ve observed over about two weeks. My serum comes out orange, normally that indicates oxidization but I still find that the serum works. The one thing I wish they’d change is the pump because it shoots so much product out that I always spill some. It’s wasteful, so I’m deducting a star.

    Love!

    gifted by prequelskin I loveeeee an oily feeling, hydrating, vitamin C serum! I know that texture isn’t for everyone but as a dry skin girly who loves to layer skincare…it’s the best! This one from @prequelskin is thin in texture, oily feeling on the skin, hydrating, layers well with other skincare and makeup, and doesn’t irritate my skin!

    Great Serum and Easy to use

    gifted by prequelskin. This is a really good serum! It made huge changes on my skin by lightening dark spots, dark scars, and it really evened my tone by unifying texture and skin color! Is lightweight perfect for the 2nd step in a 3 steps simple skincare routine
