Prequel Gleanser + SA — Hydrating Cleansing Gel with Salicylic Acid
Developed by dermatologist and Prequel founder, Dr. Samantha Ellis, Gleanser + SA is a humectant-rich, non-stripping face and body wash that combines the exfoliating properties of Salicylic Acid with intense hydration — without disrupting the skin barrier. The formula contains 50% Glycerin and 1% encapsulated Salicylic Acid, gently renewing the skin, effectively removing makeup, excess sebum, and impurities, while preserving the natural hydrolipidic barrier.
Clinically proven 24-hour hydration
Unlike traditional Salicylic Acid preparations that can dry out and sensitize the skin, Gleanser + SA has been clinically tested to provide 24-hour hydration after just one use. The formula creates a delicate, creamy lather, rinses thoroughly from the skin, and leaves it radiant, smooth, and balanced.
Key Benefits
• Gently exfoliates with encapsulated Salicylic Acid (BHA), which supports cell renewal and smooths skin texture
• Intensely hydrates — a high concentration of Glycerin (50%) acts as a powerful humectant, retaining water in the skin
• Removes makeup, excess sebum, and impurities without disrupting the skin's protective barrier
• Leaves skin radiant and smooth, without disturbing its natural moisture
• Balances sebum production with Zinc PCA — a natural moisturizing factor (NMF)
• Suitable for face and body cleansing — one formula, versatile use
Technology: Sub-micron encapsulation of Salicylic Acid
Salicylic Acid in Gleanser + SA is delivered using sub-micron encapsulation technology, which ensures:
• Better penetration of the active ingredient into the skin
• Lower risk of irritation by maintaining optimal skin pH (pH 4.5 ± 0.5)
• Gradual, prolonged release of the active substance with each wash
