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

submitted by meontg - 2 years 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 - 2 years 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 - 1 year 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.

    Literally the best cleanser ever!!

    This is my second time buying this cleanser and it has cleared my face up sooo much. It doesn’t leave my face feeling dry or stiff. And the first bottle lasted me almost a year. I also use their am/pm face moisturizer and it is so good as well. I literally love prequel so much and will not be going back to any other skincare product!!

    Awful contact dermatitis on eyelids

    I see a lot have had positive reviews with this cleanser. But like most 1 star reviews that was my same experience! This gave me the WORST contact dermatitis on my eyelids. I truly thought it was something else but it only improved after I stopped using this. I have no idea how it got the eczema safe label because wow. It had my face and eyelids so red and skin around hairline peeling & I truly thought it had to be a makeup product not this. It was only confirmed once I stopped using it & continued everything else and my skin improved. Will never repurchase.

    Amazing Cleanser – Highly Recommend!

    I absolutely love Prequel Gleanser! It cleans my skin so well without leaving it feeling dry, tight, or stripped of moisture. My skin feels incredibly clean, soft, and hydrated after every use. It’s gentle yet effective, and I’ve been so impressed with how well it works. Even my esthetician recommended this cleanser, which makes me love it even more! Definitely a product worth trying and one I highly recommend.

    The MOST EFFECTIVE Cleanser!

    I have tried many cleansers and none of them despite the price point have resulted in leaving my skin hydrated, without any adverse reaction and balanced like this product. I use it not only on my face and neck but also my body. It is superior to any cleanser that I have ever used over 60 years!

    My favorite cleanser ever.

    Absolutely my favorite cleanser. The texture is creamy yet jelly, it cleanses so well and doesn’t leave my dry skin feeling tight. I don’t think I’d ever go back to another cleanser! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    So gentle

    This is a great cleanser. I have sensitive skin with eczema and rosacea. Cleanser is gentler than anything I’ve tried. I just bought my 6th bottle so you know I’m committed.

    Gentle Clean

    This gentle cleanser leaves my sensitive skin feeling hydrated, not dry or stripped. I have used lot of face washes in my lifetime, this is one of the few I’ve looked forward to using every day.
