Prequel Pre-Gleanse Oil Cleanser — 13.5oz Unscented Double-Cleanse Makeup Remover with Cica

Prequel Pre-Gleanse Oil Cleanser is an unscented, non-comedogenic oil-based first-step cleanser that dissolves makeup, sunscreen and surface oils while rinsing away clean.

This pre-cleanse is formulated for the double-cleanse routine: an oil phase to lift makeup and sebum followed by your foaming or gel cleanser to finish. It uses an emulsifying system that turns the oil into a milky rinse so skin feels soft, not greasy. Key emollients and botanical-derived ingredients like Cica oil, linoleic and linolenic fatty acids, and rice bran oil supply gentle nourishment during cleansing without clogging pores.

How does this oil cleanser remove waterproof makeup without leaving residue?

The formula combines lipid-soluble agents that dissolve makeup with water-activated emulsifiers that transform the oil into a rinseable milk. This conversion allows oils and pigments to lift from skin and wash away fully.

• Water-activated emulsifying system creates a milky texture for easy rinsing.
• Lipid-soluble ingredients dissolve waterproof mascara and long-wear foundation.
• Non-greasy finish avoids sticky or filmy residue after rinsing.

Will this cleanser suit sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The unscented, pH-balanced formula is designed to be gentle and non-comedogenic, minimizing irritation risk while still breaking down oils. It’s built to maintain the skin’s moisture barrier rather than strip it, reducing the chances of rebound oiliness or tightness.

• Fragrance-free to lower irritation likelihood for sensitive skin types.
• Contains Cica oil and fatty acids that support barrier health during cleansing.
• Non-comedogenic formulation aims to avoid pore-clogging residues.

How should I use Prequel Pre-Gleanse in my skincare routine?

Use this product as the first step in double cleansing: apply to dry skin, massage to dissolve makeup and oils, then add water to emulsify and rinse. Follow with your preferred water-based cleanser to remove any remaining impurities and prep skin for serums and moisturizers.

• Apply 1–2 pumps to dry face and makeup areas, then massage gently.
• Add a little water to emulsify into a milky texture before rinsing thoroughly.
• Finish with a second, water-based cleanser for a complete double cleanse.

What ingredients make this different from basic cleansing oils?

Prequel’s formula blends targeted lipids like linoleic and linolenic acids with rice bran and Cica oil for a nourishing yet effective lift of surface impurities. The advanced emulsifying system ensures a clean rinse without leaving a film, and the formulation is lab-tested for stability and skin compatibility.

• Linoleic and linolenic fatty acids to support skin’s natural lipids.
• Rice bran oil and Cica oil for lightweight nourishment while cleansing.
• Emulsifiers engineered for a non-greasy, rinseable finish.

Who is this for: Prequel Pre-Gleanse Oil Cleanser is suited for anyone who wears makeup, sunscreen, or has oil- or residue-prone skin and wants a gentle, unscented first step in a double-cleanse routine. It works well for dry, combination, oily, and sensitive skin types seeking an effective makeup remover that rinses clean. As with any new product, patch testing is recommended if you have extremely reactive skin.
