Prequel Pre-Gleanse Oil Cleanser for Face — Unscented 13.5oz | Lightweight, Non-Comedogenic Makeup Remover

Prequel Skin Pre-Gleanse Oil Cleanser is an unscented, non-comedogenic oil-to-milk makeup remover designed as the first step in double cleansing to dissolve sunscreen, waterproof makeup, and excess sebum without leaving a greasy film.

This lightweight oil cleanser pairs gentle surfactants with nourishing botanical oils so you can remove stubborn makeup and impurities while protecting the skin’s moisture barrier. Its emulsifying formula turns milky on contact with water, rinses clean, and leaves the skin feeling soft and primed for the second cleanse. The fragrance-free, pH-stabilized formula is formulated to suit a variety of skin types and to integrate seamlessly into a daily skincare routine.

How does Pre-Gleanse fit into a double-cleansing routine?

Use Pre-Gleanse oil as the initial cleansing step to break down oil-based impurities and makeup. Follow with a water-based cleanser to remove residue and deeper pore buildup for a balanced, hygienic finish.

• Apply to dry skin—1–2 pumps to dissolve makeup and SPF.
• Add water to emulsify into a milky texture for easy rinsing.
• Complete with a gentle foaming or cream cleanser for full cleanse.
• Leaves skin prepped for serums and treatments after rinsing.

Will this oil cleanser clog pores or feel heavy?

Pre-Gleanse is formulated to be non-comedogenic and lightweight, designed to dissolve oils without blocking pores. Its rinse-clean technology converts the oil into a milky lotion that washes away cleanly, minimizing residue and heaviness.

• Non-comedogenic blend reduces risk of congestion.
• Emulsifying system ensures no greasy film remains after rinsing.
• Suitable for oily, combination, dry, and sensitive skin when patch-tested.
• Fragrance-free to lower irritation potential for sensitive users.

What active ingredients help the skin while cleansing?

The formula combines moisturizing and skin-supporting oils with linoleic and linolenic acids, plus rice bran and Cica-derived oil to nourish during cleansing. These components help maintain hydration and skin comfort while effectively removing makeup and impurities.

• Cica-derived oil provides soothing, nutrient-rich support during cleansing.
• Linoleic and linolenic acids support lipid balance and skin texture.
• Rice bran oil adds lightweight moisture without heaviness.
• Mild surfactants ensure effective cleansing without stripping skin.

How should I use Pre-Gleanse for best results?

Apply the oil to dry skin and massage to break down makeup, then wet your hands and emulsify into a creamy milk before rinsing. Follow with your regular water-based cleanser and continue with serums and moisturizer while skin is slightly damp.

• Dispense 1–2 pumps onto dry face and massage thoroughly.
• Add a little water to emulsify, then rinse fully with lukewarm water.
• Follow with Prequel Gleanser or another gentle cleanser.
• Use morning or evening as the first step in double cleansing.

Who is this for? Prequel Skin Pre-Gleanse Oil Cleanser is aimed at anyone who wears makeup, uses sunscreen, or wants a gentle first-step cleanser that dissolves oil-based products while preserving skin comfort. It is especially useful for people who prefer fragrance-free formulations, those prone to sensitivity, and anyone seeking a rinse-clean oil cleanser that pairs with a second, water-based wash. Patch testing is recommended for extremely reactive skin.
