Why customers choose Origin Beauty

Prequel Skin Pre-Gleanse Oil Cleanser is an unscented, non-comedogenic oil-to-milk makeup remover that dissolves sunscreen and heavy makeup as the first step in a double-cleanse routine.

Designed as the preparatory stage of a two-step cleansing ritual, this 13.5oz Prequel Pre-Gleanse Oil Cleanser lifts oils, waterproof cosmetics, and daily grime without stripping the skin. It combines emollient-rich plant oils, cica-derived botanicals, and an emulsifying system that turns the oil into a milky rinse when water is introduced. The fragrance-free, pH-stabilized formula focuses on keeping skin balanced and comfortable while preparing it for a follow-up facial cleanser.

How does Pre-Gleanse remove stubborn makeup and sunscreen?

Pre-Gleanse is formulated to break down mineral and chemical sunscreens, long-wear foundation, and waterproof mascara by binding with oil-based residues that water alone cannot remove. The oil phase dissolves grease and pigments, and the clean-rinse technology emulsifies those oils for easy removal.

  • Oil-based dissolving action for waterproof makeup
  • Emulsifying system converts oil to a rinseable milk
  • Non-comedogenic ingredients to avoid pore-clogging
  • Pump format for hygienic, measured dispensing

Will this oil cleanser work for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The unscented, laboratory-tested formula aims to be gentle on a range of skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone complexions. It avoids fragrances and includes pH-stabilized components; however, individual reactions vary, so a patch test is recommended before regular use.

  • Fragrance-free to limit irritation risk
  • Contains cica-derived oil for soothing support
  • Non-comedogenic to reduce pore-clogging potential
  • Patch testing advised for reactive skin

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

Use Pre-Gleanse as the first step of double cleansing: apply to dry skin, massage to dissolve products and impurities, then add water to emulsify and rinse. Follow with your regular water-based cleanser to remove residual debris and complete the deep-clean process.

  • Apply 1–2 pumps to dry face and massage gently
  • Add water to create a milky emulsion, then rinse
  • Follow with a second, water-based cleanser for full double cleanse
  • Suitable for evening routines or after heavy sunscreen use

What ingredients are featured, and what do they do?

The formula highlights cica-derived oil, rice bran oil, and essential fatty acids like linoleic and linolenic acids to support barrier health while removing oils. Gentle surfactants enable effective emulsification so the product rinses clean without leaving a greasy film.

  • Cica oil for calming-supportive botanicals
  • Rice bran oil for lightweight moisturization
  • Linoleic and linolenic acids to nourish without heaviness
  • Emulsifiers that turn oil into a milky wash for easy rinsing

Who is this for? Prequel Pre-Gleanse Oil Cleanser is crafted for anyone seeking a gentle yet effective first-step cleanser: people who wear daily sunscreen or long-wear makeup, those who follow a double-cleanse routine, and users who prefer fragrance-free, non-comedogenic products. If you want an oil cleanser that rinses clean and primes skin for treatment serums and moisturizers, this product is a practical, skin-compatible option. Remember to patch test if you have reactive skin and follow with your chosen water-based cleanser to complete the regimen.
