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 - 10 months agoA: 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 month agoA: 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.

10/10
Absolutely in love with this product. I struggle with dry acneic skin, large pores on my nose, bumpy skin from bacteria, and fine lines. In just 3 weeks using this with the prequel urea moisturizer (and a benzoyl peroxide treatment) I’ve noticed my acne clearing and the pores on my nose getting smaller. The fine lines around my eyes appear less defined. My skin feels hydrated, soft and dewy through the day. Product feels velvety and has a good lather. Removes make up really well too, I have 0 complaints about this product.

Gentle but Effective
This cleanser leaves my skin feeling soft. It does not strip your skin even when you have dryness. I use this everyday on my face and have it in my shower as well. A little goes a long way

This Has No Right Being This Good...
Prequel Gleanser is so good it has no business being sold at a normal store. It melts off my makeup, sunscreen, sweat, and questionable life choices in one swipe. The texture is basically a hydrating cloud that politely tells my pores to get it together. My skin feels calm, smooth, and like it finally forgave me. I’ve tried other cleansers…they were liars. This is the only one I’ll ever use again. If Prequel discontinues it, I will simply stop washing my face. I will never use anything else! It’s amazing! ESPECIALLY, now that I have the heat on in my apartment. Pittsburgh weather….smh. The glycerine is what does it…I love this stuff! The bottle will also last me almost an entire year. I use one pump and it is more than enough for my entire face. You cannot beat it for the price. I do not know how this isn’t more expensive, but I’ll take it.

Life changing
Life changing cleanser. I’ve tried many gentle fragrance free cleansers that claim to not strip your skin - this is the only cleanser that keeps my combination skin balanced and healthy in the middle of a dry and cold winter. I also have less blackheads and congestion from my skin being able to maintain a healthy barrier after using this product. Praying you never change the formula and make this product forever.

I’m on my 4 bottle.
Love this cleanser. It dethroned my la rosche posay dry skin cleanser which I loved for years. This is more product for the cost and actually really plumps up my skin.

This is one of the only cleansers that doesn’t irritate or dry out my very sensitive rosacea skin. Great as a second cleanser and as a non stripping body wash.

Life changing! Ty
Can’t live without it! It’s the absolute best! I’ve been going through the change and my pores were so big that I couldn’t look at my face without picking at it, scrubbing the heck out of it, and watching helplessly as they’d fill right back up with whatever cream or serum I used. One day I came across this face wash and jumped on it because I watch all her videos on YouTube and TikTok and adore her. Just buy this stuff! It’s so wonderful to see my skin do a complete 180! I also use the half and half lotion and my skin feels like a babies butt, especially right after washing it. Beware it can feel like it hasn’t rinsed off but that’s because the product is that good! You won’t regret buying this I promise.

Should have thoroughly read ingredients
Bought this and didn’t realize it contains cocamidopropyl betaine. This ingredient is awful for sensitive skin. It would be a lovely product otherwise.

Universal Cleanser that WORKS!
I had seen so many ads by influencers raving about this product, but was afraid to commit to purchasing it. Instead of buying a full size bottle, I opted to buy a travel size to test out the product on a recent trip and noticed within a matter of days that my skin was more clear and hydrated (this was over the course of the 3 day trip). Post trip I continued using Gleanser, purchased a full size bottle, and haven't felt the need to use another cleanser since. I routinely reach for it. The formulation? Chef's kiss. You entirely get your money's worth and I'm actively considering trying out the SA and Glycolic Gleanser. If you're having doubts, try it. As someone with sensitive skin, you have nothing to worry about.

The best for dry skin!
If you have dry and sensitive skin this is perfect. My skin is extra dry and sensitive in the winter and almost every face wash makes my skin red or burning or super tight. This face wash is so gentle and does have that moisture added so it moisturizes at the same time. If you like the squeaky clean feeling, this is not a good option. I always remove my makeup with an oil cleanser and this would be too gentle on its own to breakdown makeup.

Amazing cleanser but pump breaks
Absolute favorite cleanser ever and works amazing on my eczema-prone skin. However, I’ve bought this twice and both times the pump broke within the first few uses.

Gleanser
This is a wonderful cleanser that will leave your skin feeling both clean and moisturized. I love that it does not have a scent. I use it as the second step in my double cleanse and it is a solid product. It glides on easily and feels nice on the skin. You really don't need much and it is very gentle. I have tried many cleansers over the years and this has become one of my favorites. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who enjoys having a clean face without feeling stripped.
