Introducing Prequel's NEW Hypochlorous Acid Spray, Universal Skin Solution | Dr. Sam Ellis

[@cev9268]

I'd love a refill option for some of Prequel's products that reduces the need for excess packaging!

[@anniekuro]

Omg a large refill of this spray is exactly what we need!!!!!

[@josie4peace]

@@anniekuro Amazon has it

[@carlsbarkleh]

Oh my gosh yay! I love using hypochlorous acid and this is so much more affordable than my previous spray! You're the actual best Dr. Ellis P.s. your gleanser and balm are the only things that finally saved my screwed up skin barrier from tretinoin. Thank you for making accessible skincare!

[@DrSamEllis]

We love to hear this! So great to hear.

[@21972012145525]

its at walgreens cheaper than this.

[@nicom4811]

Does HA kill the "good" bacteria on the skin? If so, would daily use of HA disrupt are natural and beneficial skin microbiome?

[@tracef195]

Just started using your products. I am in love. The one thing that is great is the size of the products. You get so much product for the price. It is so amazing to be able to use the same body lotion on my face. Just amazing.

[@dianameredith9309]

Thank you for making such high quality and affordable products and educational content! This makes skincare so much easier and accessible! Also, my boyfriend doesn’t like having much of a skincare routine and when he had badly chapped lips, I used the healing ointment as a lip balm and it fixed is lips in a day and half.

[@jenniferlee9029]

Ive been using your barrier cream and OMG im obsessed with it!!! Could you please come out with maybe travel sizes in the future, i can't be without it❤

[@DrSamEllis]

That’s so wonderful to hear! I want travel sizes too 😅

[@morocco34]

I bought this due to the hype regarding this ingredient. Was going to use everyday but have a feeling it's one of those superfluous products that really is only necessary when you need a mild antibacterial. I'm going to save it for when I have a wound or after I've had a facial. I have a facial once a month with a lot of extractions and this will be perfect for post facial care. Regarding this packaging specifically; the spray is really nice.

[@shelbycrowe8036]

I came to this looking for the answer if you can use a vitamin c after this and you answered that question. Thank you! I’m so interested in your entire brand, thinking about ordering a few items.

[@katschrader1482]

Only thing bothering me is that my last order shipped before you announced another product will be dropping. 😂😂😂 I was actually dragging my feet repurchasing the one I’ve been using - I’ll be ordering this for sure!! 🤗

[@michellecastro6560]

I love hypochlorous acid! I’ve been using the spray from Tower28 for over a year for myself, my kids, even our animals! It’s awesome stuff for all the things like you said. I will definitely check yours out. Great addition to your skincare line!

[@evianlgnailartanddesign8405]

Thank you for explaining your product because I was a bit confused about it

[@DrSamEllis]

Glad it was helpful!

[@benjamingrino3696]

Hi Dr. Ellis, When will the Urea lotion be back? Has the issue of texture from the manufacturing process been resolved? Thank you.

[@melissavidic2895]

I just came up on this review of yours, sounds wonderful I just ordered the hypochlorous spray. And I’m finally going to try your Urea Moisturizing Milk, as I have very sensitive skin and dry, I really don’t want to use glycolic acid all the other acids kind of afraid of reaction. Thank you for the review. Love your products, love the barrier therapy cream.❤

[@juliabinford6500]

I just put in an order! I’ve also found it very useful for my teenage son. Teen boys tend to have body odor very easily, and if he uses hypochlorous spray on his body part way through the day, it helps so much!

[@DrSamEllis]

I loooove it for body odor!

[@sherischutts6976]

I love tower 28’s version but it is expensive. Thank you for making a more affordable one. I can’t wait to get my order and try it.

[@malindarayallen]

Briotech hypochlorous acid is extremely inexpensive. I buy it by the gallon from Amazon.

[@kevinelliott1583]

Sam, I love hypochlorous acid and your enthusiasm is great. Yes to everything you described but we’ve also used it on a mosquito bite or a minor cut or abrasion. It is kind of a wonder product!

[@DrSamEllis]

Ah yes! So great for small skin wounds!

[@standdownrobots_ihaveoldglory]

Loving this! Definitely works faster & better than any of my other soothing sprays. This plus cerave itch reliever plus prequel barrier cream on top for my underbreast area. Every time the temp drops, i get so itchy so fast!

[@chariots8x230]

Dr. Ellis, it would be great if you also formulate a probiotic skincare product to go with the hypochlorous acid spray. For example, we could use the hypochlorous acid first, and then use the probiotic skincare product to get that good bacteria back in there. In order to have healthy skin, we really need to support the skin’s microbiome. This is especially important for skincare conditions like rosacea. So, I really hope Prequel will offer a probiotic skincare product that is made for sensitive skin. I really need to find some skincare products that are truly formulated for sensitive skin, because my skin is very sensitive, and it’s difficult for me to find any skincare products that my skin will accept. Even common ingredients like hyaluronic acid have been very harmful to my skin. For example, every time I’d use any product with hyaluronic acid in it, my skin would become very dry & tight, and I’d get fine lines all over my face (including my eyelids, which was very scary). It’s really frustrating because brands add hyaluronic acid to nearly everything, even on products that are made for sensitive skin. I haven’t been able to find any moisturizer that my skin likes either. I also tried wearing sunscreen (LaRoche Posay Mineral Sunscreen), but it broke me out badly, which I assume is because my cleanser (Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser) was not removing all of the sunscreen. On top of that, my skin was becoming dry from using this cleanser multiple times in a row to try to get off the sunscreen. However, even if I just don’t use sunscreen, and only use the cleanser once a day to wash my face, I noticed that it was still making my skin feel a little bit dry & tight (which is especially problematic, since I don’t have any moisturizer that I can apply afterwards to deal with the dryness that the cleanser was causing). So, I’ve had no choice but to only wash my face with water and use the cleanser once every couple of day at most (hence it is why I’m considering the hypochlorous acid). Since my skin is so sensitive, and will not accept most skincare products I try, it’s hard to find any products that work. I want to try a few of Prequel’s products, so I really hope my skin will accept them without reacting.

[@cate499]

Hypochlorous acid helped my dry eyes immensely. My red eyes cleared up and stopped hurting and itching. I still use it to clean my eyebrows, eye area and lashes. Learning about it was life changing for me.

[@Idk-do4db]

how do you use it to help with dry eyes?

[@joyceserin6500]

I was wondering that too

[@jilltaylor8252]

Love your products! When can we expect the moisturizer to restock? I have to try it!!

[@Wendy-yr5ke]

Same! I just ordered this spray and have all the other prequel products, but I’m still waiting on a restock of the urea moisturizing milk. 😭

[@emilio9425]

I’d love to try this after I’m done with my Tower 28 one! It’s cheaper and seems like the most is much finer. Thank you!!!

[@kimJB900]

Great product! I'll be buying the Skin Solution and also the Gleanser. I wish I could buy the other products but since I'm allergic to Niacianimide and I'm so regular acne and fungal acne prone, I'm afraid to buy them and cause a flare. I wanted to ask if you could create products for people with these conditions.

[@nietzchec224]

I hope you could include refills and travel-sizes

[@bryannaweigel9581]

This spray is amazing. One of my Prequel favorites!

[@Tailored_Talons]

I’m so excited for this! I just bought your other three products. My dermatologist just prescribed me Tretinoin 0.025%, my first retinol ever. I was on a high dose of Accutane (isotretinoin) 3 years ago, and my skin handled it well. I’m interested to how Prequel works to soothe and hydrate my skin while on this new chemical exfolient.

[@JayelletheSwell97]

Ok I definitely want to try this product out! I hope it’s available in Canada someday. ❤ By the way Dr. Sam, I was thinking it would be really interesting if you made a video about the most recent developments in the skincare industry, where R&D is focused, and your professional opinions on what to expect or hope for in the next 10-20 years in terms of product advancements!

[@bjensen3671]

What’s the difference between this and other hypochlorous acid sprays?

[@21972012145525]

Wondering the same

[@hildagazic8570]

Can this be used before applying Tretinoin ?

With someone who has acne prone skin, can this spray be used everyday even if you don't have active acne?

[@andigail4477]

I am excited about this. Does it reduce antioxidant efficacy if layered under a Vitamen C?

Oh! I might have to try this. I thought vitamin C and hypochlorus acid cancel each other

Dr Ellis, please let hs know when you're going to start shipping internationally. Thanks so much and cannot wait to try using your products. Kindest regards, South Africa

[@carley3336]

This is a totally new ingredient to me! Just purchased and am excited to give it a go. I'm wondering how you might recommend using this spray in tandem with microneedling? It seems to me like an ingenious addition to a double-cleanse in order to prep before microneedling. I'm curious to know your thoughts about using it afterwards during the healing process as well. I imagine there would be similar use and placement in skincare routine for any skin treatment: deep chemical peels, microneedling, laser, etc.

[@DrSamEllis]

It’s incredible for post-procedure! Keeps things clean without the irritation of alcohol or the stench of dilute vinegar (which also works super well but is certainly less elegant 😅)

[@LittleSimoni]

Hello! Is it safe to use on eyelids? I have one my optometrist wants me to use but want to support your product :-) Thanks!

[@Caimille]

I love using hypochlorous acid after working out and during when I get too hot! It doesn't disturb the sunscreen if you spray hypochlorous acid on a sunscreened face?

[@morgianasartre6709]

Anything that you put on top can disturb the sunscreen film, we just don't know to what extent (a lot depends on the water resistance capacity of the given sunscreen).

[@mtazc]

I just ordered it.😊

[@LMC-100]

I have a question, does applying Hypochlorous Acid midday or throughout the day neutralizes/deactivates the vitamin C serum applied in the morning? You mentioned that you can apply Vitamin C serum after the Hypochlorous Acid fully dried down/absorbed, but what happens with the effectivity of Vitamin C if sprayed again midday?

[@DrSamEllis]

By then your antioxidant has penetrated into the skin and doing hypochlrous acid on top wont render it less efficacious

Does it "deactivate " other active ingredients in your skincare products if you use it in the same routine?

Only an antioxidant like vitamin c (if the antioxidant is applied when the hypochlorous acid is still wet), but as long as it dries down first you’re good.

What ingredients does this not play well with? I saw either an aesthetician or a dermatologist on KZbin talk about the various similar sprays coming out lately, and I wanted to buy one, but after all of her disclaimers, I thought this is going to be too questionable to fit into a routine with copper peptides and retinoids and other actives.

[@DrSamEllis]

Great question, as this is often a concern that is raised! It should actually play nice with everything as long as it’s dried down fully (which happens quickly). There’s a full explainer article on the Prequel website as well! prequelskin.com/blogs/skin-notes-skincare-blog/hypochlorous-acid-in-skincare
