Q: Given the oat flour in this, is the product gluten-free?

submitted by meontg - 1 year ago
  • A: I don't think this is gluten free with the oats. I've been using this on my face the last couple of days, not realizing it contained oats and I'm have cross contamination symptoms.

    submitted byRhonda - 1 year ago
  • A: Gluten sensitivity affects the digestive system & is not absorbed by the skin. If you don't eat it, it won't enter your small intestine where the damage occurs in people sensitive to gluten.

    submitted byTaxi - 6 months ago
  • A: Our Gleanser contains a gluten-free processed oatmeal but if you have a sensitivity or allergy to gluten, we advise avoiding, due to potential for cross contamination in processing.

    Nice but Does not Foam

    LIKES: can be used head to toe - great for travel! Especially the easy to open easy to close top. fragrance free! Zero irritation for my eczema and around my eyes. It definitely makes my skin feel “clean”. The price point is good. It’s a rather large bottle and has lasted me a good bit of time. Also, when I ran out of hand soap I used this as a substitute for 2 days and I liked it a lot. DISLIKES: it barely foams, which, for a cleanser with no active ingredients, seems rather odd to me. If it foamed just a tiny bit it would be the perfect cleanser. I wish the price point was a smidge lower so more people could reap the benefits of Prequel products, especially this basic, moisturizing cleanser that anyone can use.

    Love it!!

    I have been having some postpartum breakouts (like tiny little bumps all over my face). I stopped using my OG neutrogena daily facial cleanser and tried this and within 1.5-2 days, I started seeing a HUGE difference! And by now (it’s been 2 weeks) my skin is back to normal…clean and clear!!

    Works OK - Pump is terrible

    I like the cleanser enough, but it doesn't feel like its actually cleaning my face. Also, the pump broke the day I got it when I dropped it less than 10 inches from the ground - I've rigged it to finish the product, but I'm unsure I'll continue buying. I love their other products though!

    Perioral dermatitis

    I’ve been struggling with bad perioral dermatitis for a few months now, I’ve tried everything people suggest and nothing worked. This was the first cleanser that didn’t strip my skin or cause the gross flakey dryness. It also doesn’t worsen any existing flare ups I’m having which is a big win!!! Will definitely keep repurchasing!

    Sticks to face, hard to rinse off

    I like how this foams up and lathers but it’s so hard to rinse off my face. It’s thick and will not come off with just water. I don’t think it cleans very well. I use Micellar water to remove makeup before using this. Then after I was my face, I use a toner and a cotton pad and there’s still quit a bite of makeup residue left on the pad after using this cleanser. So I go back and wash it again. I’m going back to La Roche Posay cleanser when this runs out.

    Best cleanser I’ve used! Feels great on skin, does not irritate my eyes when removing eye makeup and does not dry out my skin. Highly recommend.

    No thank you

    Both my husband and I have been using this product for over 2 months. We both occasionally get pimples but since using this product we have both noticed an increase of breakouts (to now include cystic acne) that are even showing up on his neck. Also no matter the amount of water used to wash off product it always feels like there’s some being left on. Going back to la roche posay hydrating cleanser.

    Amazing cleanser!

    I have tried so many facial cleaners and I always have one issue or another with them. Either the consistency and/or smell is unpleasant, it's too drying, etc. This is the perfect cleanser! It doesn't make my skin feel right or dry, it doesn't have a smell and has a nice gel consistency. I don't use it on my whole body, but in more sensitive areas that don't like fragrance. It's been great for that as well. Can't beat the price either!

    Keep coming back to this one.

    One of my all time favorite cleansers. Especially during winter when I’m using stronger tretinoin and also with the dry harsh Utah weather. I even use it as a body wash since I have dry itchy skin generally. This stuff really cleans without violating the skins moisture barrier. Skin looks and feels stronger when it’s part of my prequel routine.

    Disappointed

    I really wanted to love this cleanser bc of its ingredients and how healthy it is for our skin. But unfortunately my skin hasn't improved. I still have acne and texture. This will be going back. I really think the reason why I haven't seen any improvement in my skin has a lot to do with the fact that this cleanser doesnt really foam. Therefore its almost like I'm not getting as deep of a clean as I normally would when using a foaming cleanser.

    Wrecked my eyes

    Skin around my eyes is raw, irritated, and inflamed after using this a few times. It felt nice while washing my face but turned out to be absolutely caustic.
