Prequel Multi-Acid Milk Exfoliating AHA Peel

If you’ve been reading, you already know my love for Prequel’s Gleanser in all its iterations. The brand’s founder, Dr. Samantha Ellis, keeps proving that affordable and thoughtful aren’t mutually exclusive. Half & Half is a fluid moisturizer that pours like, well, half and half. You shake it into your palms and press it into skin. The texture is part milky toner and part lightweight lotion, with ceramides and peptides for barrier support and lasting moisture. At $26 for nearly six ounces, it’s a steal and a no-brainer for anyone wanting a light-to-midweight, silky everyday moisturizer. Their Multi-Acid Milk Peel pairs a 15% AHA blend (glycolic, lactic, mandelic, and malic) with enzymes and squalane in a milky base, so it feels gentler going on than your typical acid toner. Make no mistake, though, this works. I use it a couple of nights a week, never on retinoid nights, and wake up to smoother and brighter skin. If your skin is sensitive, start slow at once a week and build up to more.
