Introducing Prequel's NEW Sun Barrier Mineral Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 50 | Dr. Sam Ellis

[@GetWellSoonR.E.M.]

I’m so happy you finally released a sunscreen! I absolutely LOVE that you clarify that this sunscreen may not work on all skin tones instead of lying like most skincare brands about the white cast. That’s so rare to see and I’m glad you can actually admit it. Keep being transparent like this, it’s unfortunately a rarity in the beauty industry. You have a solid skincare line that deserves all the praise in the world, and your brand’s code of ethics truly understands the consumer base.

[@evanygaard7502]

Yes and hopefully if it does well they can expand their shade range.

[@courtran]

The fact that you were so upfront and honest about the white cast on deeper skin tones is why you've a repeat and dedicated customer in me. Thank you!!

[@neurocat8837]

Dr. Ellis reminds me so much of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy. So classy and lovely.

[@nvpr8720]

Pass for me because my light-medium latinx skin always shows a cast, BUT I love the idea of having multiple to push people to use sunscreen as more options exist for everyone!

[@susanheckman7466]

I tried it today 😮. oh my gosh, im absolutely floored. i’m 63 and spend hundreds every year searching for my sunscreen. i keep going back to skin1004 centella & beauty of josen . they are ok but i need and like iron oxides for pigmentation. It’s so nice!! i had too many layers of serums under it and got some pilling but when i reapplied later it was perfect!!! Thank you!! i’m so happy with it! ❤

[@DrSamEllis]

Woohoo! So happy you’re loving it as much as I do!

[@VictoriaMizzone]

I love this but wish it was much larger since it’s SO important and we need so much of it 🥺

[@Keepitcurious1685]

Yes! I hope they come out with an all-over sunscreen in a very large container, maybe with a pump!

[@VictoriaMizzone]

@@Keepitcurious1685 YES! Especially with Prequel’s track record of coming out with huge products at such a good price 🤞🏼

[@bayleightan]

I agree, we need a jumbo size of this!!!

[@Melon29813]

While normally I prefer chemical sunscreens, when my skin is irritated, even some korean chemical sunscreens can be irritating to my skin; so that's when I'll opt for a mineral sunscreen. My skin rarely ever gets mad at those. I've wanted to try out all your products for a while, but I think this is the one I'm the most excited for!!

[@karenwells5756]

I tried the sunscreen and it is INCREDIBLE!!!

[@Keepitcurious1685]

Love love LOVE Prequel! It is the best skincare I have ever used! I am very thankful for it. It far exceeds what is available in the drugstore or at high-end skin clinics. Absolutely the best! I love the cleanser and the vitamin C especially.

[@mytj228]

This sunscreen is a lie, this is not mineral, this has butiloctyl salicitate which is an unregulated chemical filter very similar to octinoxate. Michelle beauty lab mugging explains about it. Stop lying. This is why you get the PA ++++ without giving a white cast because she uses less zinc and a lot of this filter.

[@DarioDíaz-e6j]

Latinx person here with olive skin. I just watched Ramon applying this sunscreen on IG and immediately went online and ordered two units lol. Excellent price! It really looked great on him and since our skin tones are similar I am confident this will suit my skin well. Since I have extra sensitive skin, I'm very excited about the soothing ingredients in the formula

[@TennisObsessed]

Love this sunscreen! Would also love to see a more pigmented tinted sunscreen that could function as a light foundation. 😊 Looking forward to Prequel's future launches!

[@shonamoraa]

You know what ,for a mineral sunscreen i think with the formulation you've tried your best to minimize the whitecast on deeper skin tones , and i prefer that zinc oxides reflect aun rays ,so i will purchase this but layer makeup on top to cover the ashiness

[@JosieMarie-vg9ei]

I hope you will eventually ship to Canada! This sunscreen really looks ideal.

[@kelseyweddig15]

I ordered mine already and I am SO excited!! Please launch this in a full body-friendly sized container next please :)

[@Pinkflo363]

It does leave a little bit of a cast but because I’m using it under makeup it’s not a big deal. I do like it. Also love that it doesn’t creep into my eyes.

[@lindalovessparkles16]

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS WISHING FOR!! IM ORDERING 10:) tysm for making such effective, affordable, elegant formulas❤❤❤

[@lindalovessparkles16]

speaking as someone allergic to chemical filters

[@Julia-de3no]

Yaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy bring Prequel to Canada, pleeease!

[@michellecastro6560]

I was SO excited when I saw the email about a sunscreen this morning! Finally have a moment to watch this video! 🎉

[@axman2345]

How did you get the PA label? Can you talk about that? Was it expensive? I’d be really interested to see a video about your experience navigating testing and regulations, maybe together with the people who helped you.

[@JulieSammut-ze2rt]

When will I be able to get it in Australia.

[@fialta1608]

Congratulations! I am thrilled you are doing a variey of sunscreens..how cool is that? !

[@amandaeaston4375]

Yes please deliver to Canada!!!!

[@Shireen__]

Dr Sam, internacional shipping for when? Can’t wait 😘☺️

[@wumeng2800]

Love your products. Can’t wait for my next order. International shipping anyone?

[@Pattymelt415]

❤please sell samples for travel!! Love the products!❤❤❤

[@SarahKeating-i1n]

Hi Sam, I love this sunscreen and it works so well for my skin! Thank you! Could you please do a video breaking down Butyloctyl Salicylate? I see so many comments online about how this is a chemical sunscreen component (being sneakily put into mineral sunscreens). I feel like there's a lot of misinformation about it and I would love to hear you explain it. Your videos are so easy to understand and they help me make great skincare purchases.

[@lindagreen8505]

Can’t wait to try this. I have dozens of bottles of sunscreens which have been failures-too thick, too greasy, too shiny, too much tint etc. Its very smart that you are planning to have a line of sunscreens for different preferences.

[@Heidibeloved43_1-3]

I have literally bought all of you product line. I am just missing the hand and foot creams. I am loving every single product I have tried. I am happy to make a switch. I am waiting to receive this sunscreen and the body cream. So excited to try.

[@guylainedesmarais3248]

I can’t wait for your products to ship to Canada!!!! (And or Europe)

[@angeliastewart6184]

When will your cleanser be back in stock?

[@lisag9036]

Just ordered my first Prequel products❤❤❤❤so excited, I’ve heard wonderful things about the brand!

[@skincarelover9568]

I’m ordering this, I love your vitamin c 🙌🏼🙌🏼 way to go Dr Ellis!!

[@sfkat]

Thanks....I don't know why creators don't mention that Titanium Dioxide doesn't stop all the UVA Rays, and Zinc Oxide is far preferable. Glad you used this instead of titanium dioxide.

[@sharigreenman1020]

Just got mine and am loving it. Please restock the cleanser!

[@susancesme7728]

When are you going to deliver to the UK please? 😭

[@bluewishingfish]

Hey Dr. Ellis! So excited to try this! Please also consider making a tinted sunscreen in the future (if you’re thinking about what product to launch next).

[@mashaal7782]

As someone with a sensitivity to chemical sunscreens, this looks awesome! Will Prequel be shipping to Canada?

[@nicolek2345]

Canada is calling 😂

[@Mokawoo]

THANKYOUUU!!!! I need to use mineral sunscreen. I love the formula of chemicals but they always burn my eyes. My skin is extremely sensitive! I’m happy I can now use a sunscreen that won’t burn my eyes but also enjoy the formula ❤

[@flammikko]

love a mineral sunscreen as my skin does not like chemical sunscreens!!! can't wait to buy.

[@stephaniemaynard8450]

Ordered! I’m so excited as an avid sunscreen user but struggle constantly with finding a formula that works in the dry heat of the AZ desert.

[@johnnyarellano7653]

Ahh I can’t wait for other spf you will come out. Hopefully the new spf will have a satin finish 😊

[@ev0ra5]

Butyloctyl salicylate in the ingredients - isn’t this technically a chemical filter? Please educate.

[@katiehinks4284]

Can’t wait to try this one day - Hope you ship to Canada soon!!

[@mimirooney5034]

Pleaseeeeeeee make a sweat resistant sunscreen ❤ 🙏🏼 in the summer I sweat SO much and sunscreens come off more easily and i have to reapply so much. I mainly use Japanese sunscreen as of right now because they have “sweat proof” sunscreens and LOVE them

[@mary-louwager5229]

I have just ordered the sunscreen since my friend is in the USA right now and will bring it home with her. With The cost of Duty ( 28.00) extra is just to much to have it shipped to Canada. Hopefully some day that will be covered.

[@agrias23]

I went from Cerave to Prequel….love your products. Haven’t used the vitamin C product because vitamin C is irritating…unsure if this would be the same.

[@taintedlife2618]

You are very informative and very straightforward and open. I find that skin care brands KZbin’s have such short and uninformative videos and they are useless to me. This tells me a lot of how I might like this product and how it might feel on my skin. I’ve used a ton of sunscreens so it’s rare that I’m feeling this good about trying a new one. I wear a lot of sunscreen so I’m not new to this game but I think those that are will find this informative and useful!

[@shanstereo7022]

I just created an account at Prequel. I haven't always been a subscriber but I think your advice for skincare is good. I love your formulations and have been wanting to try a urea lotion on my face. I have rosacea, ocular rosacea and very pale sensitive skin. I just purchased your sunscreen and ointment. Thank you! and can't wait to try~

[@mimirooney5034]

Can we have a larger tube sometime in the future as well? Since we have to apply often and would go through it quickly

[@Duhhhhhhhhhhhhh.duhhhhhhhh]

Plans to do a tinted mineral sunscreen? I LOVE the gleanser and skin barrier moisturizer!

[@marilynnrobinson2697]

Can you explain the difference between your barrier therapy cream and your urea advanced relief milk?

[@karenware4124]

Looking forward to this, I am excited to use this. I absolutely LOVE all other products thus far❤❤❤

[@becominghumanagain]

I've been seeing a lot about prequel on youtube and didn't realize it was your brand! Now I'm interested in checking it out!!

[@brendanmcfeeters4639]

Any plans to launch at target, ulta etc.? Would be nice to see your products in store for accessibility purposes

[@rhileynnna]

Girl I am STOKED about this

[@ava-jl1ll]

Would love to see one that is non-comedogenic for those of us with tan/skin of color! Tnx dr.Sam Ellis

[@ZintaKirse-o8c]

Well, please, I would like to buy it if you shipped to Australia 🇦🇺 ❤

[@HM-pw8it]

THANK YOU FOR STARTING WITH ZINC MY SKIN THANKS YOU ❤

[@ausrinelight9505]

Congratulations on your new sunscreen! I can't wait to try it! I have a question, if sunscreens absorb UV radiation, how do we get Vit D from the sun? or suncreens allows vit D from the sun to be absorbed to our skin.?

[@natashao0517]

Can you make tinted please

[@reneklein6049]

Thank you ever so much for coming out with this sunscreen. I do prefer mineral sunscreens because chemical sunscreens irritate my eyes. And thank you for adding a tint. I use sunscreen everyday, no matter what. My daughter struggles with finding the right sunscreen. I'll be grabbing a tube for her. May I ask if it's cruelty free? Thank you ever so much. Congratulations on your new product! ❤

[@RamblingRikers]

I love this brand and was wondering when a sunscreen would be released. I can’t wait to get my hands on this!! Thank you Dr Ellis!!!

[@DrSamEllis]

We are so excited for you to try it!

[@Baycydney]

Yes yes yes! Ordered ordered ordered!

[@Baycydney]

And Urea moisturizer is in stock… ordered ordered ordered that too!

[@erinlee2431]

Perfect timing, I was just looking to try a new mineral sunscreen. Loving your gleanser and barrier repair! Also want to try your vit C. Your price points have been great so far.

[@letitiapadilla524]

Sounds amazing!!! Just ordered along with the Lucent-C. Can't wait to try them both! ❤

[@DrSamEllis]

We hope you love them both!

[@lindalovessparkles16]

just got mine in the mail and super sheer and beautiful on me as a medium skin girly❤

[@brirose230]

Please, please, PLEASE ship to Australia (for a reasonable price)! 🙏🙏🙏

[@taniawalsh1876]

Will your brand be available in canada one day ?

[@isabelab6851]

Order placed! Looking forward to trying it. I wear sunscreen every day, the proper amount, so I use it as my moisturizer or top layer in skincare routine.

[@sophinakhan4130]

I’m glad to hear you are launching multiple sunscreens, although I probably won’t purchase; I’m such a big fan of the UV filters that we can’t get in the US! However I’m excited to try your other skincare

[@db-gb5xi]

Glad you mentioned this wouldn't work for all skin tones. Looking forward to your other SPF products.

[@cannicew9244]

Please bring Prequel to Canada！

[@cat_pb]

Could you please consider international shipping? Thank you

[@fairfaxvienna4099]

Will you do a tinted version?

[@DrSamEllis]

We’d love to eventually!

[@erikamazariego1405]

I love the BARRIER THERAPY SKIN PROTECTANT CREAM and the CLEANCER. The spf is good for people with melasma?

[@sarahblair3828]

Love in the launch!… How about them restocks though…? 😊

[@jacobs3707]

thank you for such an amazing brand!! please come out with body lotion that is made for acne prone skin without TREATING acne 🔥🔥

[@monavill]

Excited to try your whole line!!

[@merry6117]

Congratulations! I have a question. Can I mix a foundation in it to give me some color so that I don't have to use them at two different times? I like am evening of my skin color instead of a full onslaught of products during the day. I'm 77 and have pretty good skin for my age. I'm lightly olive complected.

[@db-gb5xi]

Lab Muffin and some other derms have said not to mix things into your sunscreen. It can affect how the sunscreen efficacy/how it set-ups. Apply your sunscreen first and then your foundation.

[@brookekasprzyk4850]

Butyloctyl Salicylate makes this a hybrid sunscreen

[@ljuboblajic4903]

Dr Ellis, what is the "critical wavelength" for your mineral sunscreen? 370 or 400 nm?

[@erin_elizabethsmith]

I think this might work for me because most sunscreens irritate my skin, so all the soothing ingredients might prevent that

[@yurashun1579]

when we can order to canada? why we should support this without trying it out!

[@universe25.x]

Does mineral sunscreen protect as good as the chemical sunscreen?

[@chariots8x230]

Does this sunscreen have any issues with pilling? I watched a few videos of people reviewing it and some of the reviewers said that they noticed pilling occurring when they wore this sunscreen. Personally, I have very sensitive skin, so I got excited when I heard that this sunscreen is suitable for sensitive skin. I’ve tried multiple sunscreens for sensitive skin in the past, but haven’t been able to find a suitable one yet. Many of the mineral sunscreens made for sensitive skin just didn’t sit right on my skin. They left a texture on my skin. Also, even though I have light skin, many of them left a visible white cast on my skin. It kind of looked like I was wearing crusty white chalk. Since the goal of skincare is to make our skin look it’s best, it was discouraging to see that the sunscreen I was wearing made my skin appear worse. The second issue I’ve had with mineral sunscreens I’ve tried is that trying to wash them off at the end of the day feels almost impossible, and all of that washing leaves my skin feeling dry. This is probably the main reason that caused me to stop wearing sunscreen for the time being. My skin was getting irritated & dry because I was having trouble removing the sunscreen. My cleanser was not removing all of the sunscreen (I was using Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser), so sunscreen residue was being left behind, which accumulated on my skin over a period of a couple of days and ended up causing irritation. The cleansing itself also left my skin feeling dry & tight, and I had to rub my skin continuously to try to get the sunscreen off, which itself was also irritating. I wish I could wear a sunscreen and be able to get it off without irritating or drying out my skin. I shouldn’t have to wear a moisturizer afterwards just to deal with the dryness that was caused from my attempts to remove the sunscreen. My skin doesn’t even like moisturizers, so most likely I would end up with dry skin that is caused from the sunscreen and the process of washing it off. I wish I could remove the sunscreen without causing my skin any irritation or dryness whatsoever. Does this sunscreen have any issues with pilling? I watched a few videos of people reviewing it and some of the reviewers said that they noticed pilling occurring when they wore this sunscreen. Personally, I have very sensitive skin, so I got excited when I heard that this sunscreen is suitable for sensitive skin. I’ve tried multiple sunscreens for sensitive skin in the past, but haven’t been able to find a suitable one yet.

My skin doesn’t even like moisturizers, so most likely I would end up with dry skin that is caused from the sunscreen and the process of washing it off. I wish I could remove the sunscreen without causing my skin any irritation or dryness whatsoever. So, I’m trying to find a sunscreen that’s suitable for very sensitive skin, but also looks nice on the skin, as well as find a good way to remove water-resistant sunscreen without irritating the skin or causing it to become dry. Hopefully, one of Prequel’s sunscreens will work for me.

[@dormileehodgson3444]

Dr. Sam what is your. I’m curios on what is your opinion on the DRMTLGY universal tint and the needless serum or just the brand in general?

[@princesscynthi]

Deliver to Canada???

[@therealdibabe]

Doesn’t look like it. 😏

[@Barb6106]

I recently heard that if you struggle with brown spots, the best sunscreen is tinted. Not sure why… but wondering if this is true. I don’t have many wrinkles, but brown spots are my biggest issue..plus I have already had 2 skin cancer surgeries on my face, so sunscreen is a non-negotiable. Thanks

[@tiffp323]

Are you going to be coming out with retinaldehyde?

[@MRSDMP06]

I’m so excited for this!❤🎉 Congrats! Are the ingredients fungal acne safe? Or safe for malasezzia-prone skin?

[@anamaglakelidze2538]

Thank you for sharing, but I didn’t find it on Amazon. I’m from country Georgia and how can I purchase it? ❤️

[@sea_g0at]

I have a question about one of the ingredients- on those sites that check products for pore clogging ingredients, it has Diisooctyl Succinate listed as an issue. Is that ingredients formulated in some specific way to make it non comedogenic in this sunscreen? i’m confused because online there is so much conflicting information. if you get a chance to answer- thank you!

[@merisavizcarra6648]

I am so excited for this. Another product I will be ordering. ❤

[@dianaf3109]

Is this sunscreen water resistant/ waterproof? And if so, for how long?

[@amnajamal7245]

We need all this in Canada please 🇨🇦❤️😭😭😭

[@priscillapaz2246]

Been wishing the same since she lunched. Products seem awesome especially affordable ❤️

[@paulawright1215]

Can i use this on my rosacea skin?

[@tedoymisojos]

Id love a water-resistant one that works under makeup without white cast. Its super hot where I live. Anything less sweats off in 5 minutes.

[@scentsual7752]

Will you be releasing a retinal and an aha product?

[@blee8607]

Does Prequel ship to Canada?

[@juliecramer7768]

I tried to order 2 to avoid shipping costs but the site wouldn’t let me
