Prequel Soothing Hydrating Face Moisturizer — Barrier Support Cream with 5% Ectoin & Urea, Fragrance-Free, Steroid-Free

Prequel Reactive Skin Solutions is a steroid-free barrier support cream that soothes, hydrates, and helps restore very dry or reactive skin using 5% ectoin, urea, and allantoin.

This concentrated, fragrance-free moisturizer is formulated to calm redness and roughness while reinforcing the skin’s barrier. Designed for sensitive or compromised skin, the formula combines humectant, keratolytic-support, and soothing ingredients to improve texture and hydration without irritation. It can be applied on the face or body and is suitable for daily use or targeted rescue when skin feels particularly tight, flaky, or reactive.

How does this cream calm redness and sensitivity?

The formula uses ectoin, an amino-acid-derived humectant, together with allantoin to reduce irritability and support comfort. These actives help maintain moisture at the surface and buffer skin against environmental stressors that often trigger flare-ups.

• 5% ectoin preserves cellular hydration and reduces transepidermal water loss.
• Allantoin soothes and smooths rough, flaky patches.
• Fragrance-free and pH-balanced to minimize irritation risk.
• Steroid-free alternative for routine barrier care.

Will it improve roughness and flaking without irritation?

Yes—urea and hydroxyethyl urea provide gentle resurfacing and moisture without harsh exfoliants. At a supportive 5% urea concentration, the product softens dry scales and reduces rough texture while remaining appropriate for sensitive skin types.

• Urea hydrates and helps dissolve bonds between dry skin cells.
• Hydroxyethyl urea enhances water retention for smoother skin.
• Non-exfoliating approach avoids stinging or burning on reactive areas.
• Suitable for facial and body use where texture is uneven.

How should I use it in my routine for best results?

Apply to clean, dry skin on the face or body, focusing on tight, red or flaky spots. Use daily or as needed; follow with sunscreen during daytime. Patch test a small area before full use if your skin is extremely reactive.

• Apply after cleansing and any lightweight serums while skin is still slightly damp.
• Use more generously on elbows, knees, hands, or other very dry areas.
• Store between 35–77°F to preserve stability and performance.
• Compatible with most topical treatments, but consult your clinician if combining with prescription therapies.

What safety and formulation features should I know about?

The cream is developed for sensitive skin: steroid-free, fragrance-free, and lab tested for purity. It is designed to be gentle yet effective for long-term barrier support and daily comfort, without unnecessary sensitizers.

• Clinically tested and dermatologist-developed by Prequel Skin.
• Free from fragrance and common irritants to reduce reactions.
• pH balanced for skin compatibility and barrier health.
• Recommended to patch test before first use on very reactive skin.
