Happy skincare routine
This is my second vitamin c skincare product and Iâm glad to say I wonât be switching to another one. Before, I tried a Korean vitamin c cream but didnât notice any effect from it whatsoever.Prequel has brought me the nicer-quality serum that I need. I love that Dr. Sam Ellis makes this important skincare staple both approachable and affordable.Itâs very liquidy so it took me a few tries to get the hang of application. I tried pumping several drops directly onto my face like some people doâbut I have sensory issues and dislike that feeling.What I do is make a âcupâ with the palm of my hand and pump 1-2 pumps of product into it so it pools. I dip my ring finger to get some of the serum and then apply it in large âdotsâ onto my forehead, then repeat the finger/dot method for my cheeks, chin, neck and nose. Then I use my fingers to collect remaining product from my palm and use them to rub in all of the âdotsâ evenly.I have dry skin. In my experience this serum is not sticky or tacky after applied. It feels smooth, plump and nice. The smell is a bit strange but I donât mind it and it goes away after a few minutes. I usually wait 2-5 mins before applying my moisturizer and sunscreen to let it soak in.I will say you should apply this to bare skin always. I accidentally applied it over some leftover self-tanner lotion on my face and it was extremely itchy and uncomfortable all day. Use it as the first step for daily routine and youâll be good to go.

Great product
I love this product..I've tried alot of different vit c serums over the years and this is the best one I've tried. The price is good compared to some of the more high end brands and the product is comparable. I like that is has a pump style bottle wich keeps the vit c active..unlike other products that have a dropper style bottle. The product feels good in my skin .it tingles a bit and feels like it's nourishing my skin. My skin looks brighter and feels smoother.

Amazing vitamin C Serum
I absolutely love this vitamin C serum! It has quickly become a staple in my skincare routine. The formula feels comparable to much higher-end serums Iâve tried, with similar ingredients and a luxurious, smooth texture. It glides on effortlessly, absorbing quickly without leaving any sticky residue.One of the standout benefits is its brightening effect. After using this serum consistently, I've noticed a noticeable improvement in the radiance of my complexion. It gives my skin a healthy glow, making it look more vibrant and even-toned.There is one minor downsideâthe pump can be a bit finicky. Sometimes itâs hard to get the serum out, and it tends to dispense a bit of air along with the product. While this doesnât affect the quality or performance of the serum itself, it can be a slight inconvenience when you're in a rush or trying to use just the right amount.Overall, this vitamin C serum is a fantastic product with great results, a smooth, non-sticky feel, and a brightening effect that works wonders for my skin. The pump issue is small. Nonetheless, itâs a great value, especially when compared to pricier serums on the market.

Smells and sticky once applied
I have tried a fair share of vitamin c serums and the serum itself is nice however it feels sticky once applied to the skin and I can still feel it on my face 10 mins later, it is tight/sticky. The smell is obvious, like hot dog water. Not sure if this is the texture I want to feel or smell on my face throughout the day. Lets see if it is worth the results. No glow, serum is not thick.

Effectiveness and Value SkinCeuticals Dupe!
This is a great vitamin C serum. You put this on dried down skin so wait for your toner to dry for maximum effectiveness. People say this has a pungent scent, it smells like a regular serum to me. This is watery consistency and not oily so it absorbs pretty well and I love the airless pump design.

Quality and affordable
Everything that Prequel makes is amazing. The quality and the size are outstanding, especially at this price. The bottle lasts a long time and it evens out skin tone and gives you a glow.

Gave me a horrible rash!
I started to really like this despite the gross smell & sticky texture it leaves. I actually started to like texture of it bc it gave me a nice dewy glow. BUT then I got a horrible rash on my face, neck, & chest from this. I didn't want to believe it was this, or thought maybe if I didn't use it at night w my tretinoin, & Glycolic acid pads that it wouldn't do it again. It did! As soon as I could use it again I did & got another skin rash. It's the only new product I'm using. It seems to be a good quality though very potent actives! So if you never get irritated from any skincare product's & u can handle a pretty gross smell then u may want to try this. It's to strong for me which is shocking đ˛

Great product, pump not so great
This is the second time buying the Preqiel Vitanin C serum. I really love that it comes in a dark bottle making it less orine to oxidation. I do have one negative review and it has to do with the pump. In both bottles I had issues with the pump. The last bottle bursts too much product. Other than that it has helped with my dark skin and brightness overall. I would have definitely rated with 5 stars but the pump needs alterations.
