Prequel
LAUNCHED IN 2023
FOUNDER Dr. Samantha Ellis
Prequel offers dermatologist-developed skin care for the current age. Products are basic and affordable to promote skin health, which is the foundation of all the other things we want from our skin—like glow, even tone and smoothness.
WHY WE LOVE IT
Prequel is a nod to the story your skin tells of what's come before. The brand thinks scars and wrinkles are an important part of your story, even if the products help reduce their appearance.

Prequel, Amazon
As a dermatologist, I’ve seen, used, and recommended a lot of skin care. Despite the options out there, I’ve always felt there was a greater need for more advanced, elegant formulations that are accessible to all. That's why I created Prequel. I wanted to create a line of dermatologist-developed, solution-focused products formulated to optimize skin health, be safe for those with chronic skin conditions, and provide an elevated user experience. I want everyone to be confident in their own skin and the products they use to help it thrive.
