Q: Has this been reformulated?

submitted by Anon - 9 months ago

    submitted by427T - 8 months ago
  • A: Yes and the new formula smells awful.

    submitted byAmanda - 2 months ago
  • A: We have reverted away from ethanoic acid in our formula. Thank you for your patience as we work through our packaging transition.

Q: Why does it smell like pool chlorine

submitted by Bikiniluvr - 2 months ago
  • A: It’s normal for hypochlorous sprays to smell like pool chlorine.

    submitted byLiza B - 1 month ago
  • A: Thanks for reaching out. Due to the nature of the hypochlorous raw material processing, this aroma is absolutely normal, but will not affect performance. We hope this helps.

Q: Is this safe to use for eyes?

submitted by Callen - 2 months ago
  • A: Yes, we tested this product for eye irritation and found it safe for use around the eyes, but do not spray directly in the eyes. Rinse well as needed.

Q: Has this been reformulated again? Muriatic acid is listed in the ingredients now! Should I be concerned about putting muriatic acid on my face?!

submitted by ABY - 6 months ago
  • A: Our apologies for the confusion. Based on customer responses, we reverted back to our original formula but with an enhanced addition. The concentration of muriatic acid is very small and diluted in this solution to provide a longer shelf life and period of use after opening for our customers. It's been thoroughly safety tested for use on all skin types and will not impact your experience.

Q: Can I use this in place of toner after cleansing?

submitted by Jenni - 7 months ago
  • A: While it is up to personal preference, our Universal Skin Solution can be used directly after cleansing to purify, clam and soothe skin prior to application of any additional serums or moisturizers. It can also be used in tandem with a toner.

    Another Prequel Holy Grail

    Another favorite and cannot imagine ever not having this. I've gone through multiple bottles and swear by it for every day. I recently traveled to a very dry climate and camped on a river for 5 days. My skin was so angry when I got home. This spray paired with one of Prequel ointments healed my skin in 2 days. This is also wonderful after a workout to keep blemishes away and I like it after I shave my face 1 time a month. Its very soothing.

    This is a great product for both myself and my teen daughter. She struggles with on and off acne on her face and this definitely helps with consistency. I use for my armpits that have major sensitivity issues and I get red bumps and rashes.

    I like the product inside the bottle okay. It's not anything different than any other hypohchloric acid product. What I don't like is that I can't use the rest of the product because the pump fell off and no matter what now, I can't spray it. I put it back on and I can press it down but it never comes back up. The only way I can use this product now is to empty it out onto my hand.

    I got one spray out of the bottle and it quit working. No amount of pumping or shaking would get it to spray again. And the cap isn't removable to use it otherwise.

    Holy Grail for resolving my Cystic Acne!!

    Holy grail for me!! I'm 46 and have struggled with cystic acne for so long now, I can't remember when I last had a smooth, acne free face. Started using this product and within a month, all my painful, deep, cystic acne was gone and hasn't redeveloped. I've now been on it for a few months, and I'm beyond elated with the continued results. Plus, the fact it's such a reasonably priced product too is SO appreciated!!

    This product honestly saved me. Anytime I have a break out or my rosacea flares up this spray calms it down almost instantly. I use it everyday after cleansing. If I go to the gym or for a run I also spray it after I’m finished. This is my 6th bottle. I will use it forever!!!

    I love this product this has been wonderful to my skin. It has prevented any breakout from my skin. But my biggest issue is that the spray mechanism fails for every bottle that I brought. The pump stops working which is annoying.

    Mister clogged at the third — yes, third — spray. 😭 Like 1. Spray, 2. Spray, 3. Nothing. I can’t even tell you if the product is good because the mister no longer works. Based on other reviews, looks like this is common.

    Effective spray. Very fine mist, easy to get into those hard to reach spaces. Plastic bottle has a nice velvety finish easy to hold when hands are wet from shower. Price is not bad, but a little overpriced IMO

    This is an amazing spray. First, the misting application is the best I have used because it is light but covers a wide area. Next, the product is really universal. I use it after the gym all over, on bug bites, on knicks and cuts, as a hand sanitizer and as a deodorizer on my pet's bed, gym bag and everywhere!

    I have been using this product for two months now consistently, and it is the best thing that ever happened to me. I have very sensitive skin and my skin sensitivity has even gotten worse with aging. I am in my late r0s and can't even apply any lotion on my facial skin. I just breat out with contact dermatitis when I use any moisturizer meant for my combo skin. I have used it all out there and none has worked so far. I was so excited when Dr. Ellis released her Ectoon cream. That too hasn't worked. But, I can't stop ranting enough about the Prequel Universal skin solution. It is my holy grail. I wash my face with the Prequel SA cleanser and then follow up with my universal skin solution spray. THAT'S IT! PRUNCTO!!!! No moisturizer or any other thing. It has been working for my sensitive skin. Not saying this should work for everyone. Of course the ideal routine is to followup with a moisturizer or sunscreen. But, since none of those are working for me, I am forced to resort to this spray only from Dr. Ellis This is a plea to Dr.Ellis. Please never discontinue the Hypochlorous spray, because my life literally depends on it. After getting the first bottle from this website, I went to Target and purchased 4 more bottles. I was scared 😱 of not having it in stock. That's how crazy it can get with the notion of it not being in existence. If you have sensitive skin, I will stronhky recommend you try this hypochlorous spray. I use mines twice a day, I'm my morning and night routine of just 2 steps. CLEANSE, TREAT and DONE ✔️.
