Q: The description says non-greasy and non-stickiness, however it has 45% petrolatum, so how is that possible?
submitted by Rachel - 2 months ago
A: We’ve carefully formulated our Skin Utility Ointment to provide the benefits of petrolatum without the greasy or sticky feeling. Despite containing 45% petrolatum, it’s designed to deliver a smooth, non-greasy, and non-sticky experience both during application and throughout wear.

Q: Does this ointment also works as a moisturizer at nighttime or do I need a moisturizer first?
submitted by Merida - 3 months ago
A: It is up to your preference, but you could either use our Skin Utility Ointment alone as a moisturizer, or you could apply a thin layer over top of another moisturizer at nighttime.

Q: How do you use this ointment while you're on oral accutane medication?
submitted by Christine - 4 months ago
A: Our Skin Utility Ointment is suitable for all skin types, but we always recommend patch testing on a small area before full use for any individual reactions. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.

I was an avid user of the antibiotic cream (in the yellow tube) on cuts and scrapes until I heard that dermatologists actually recommend petrolatum. Recently, I accidentally cut myself pretty badly. The ER glued the wound, but the glue came off in two days, so I used this ointment under a bandage and I was so surprised at how quickly it healed! No more yellow tubes for my family! Now I put this stuff on everything. Kids scraped knees - Prequel ointment. Husband cut his hand cut on equipment at work - Prequel ointment. I was not as careful as I should have been while using the dermablade - Prequel ointment. It really works.
Great for my Eczema Flare-ups

I am always looking for a product that is not expensive or a prescription steroid cream to help soothe the eczema flare ups on my face. I gave this product a try as I have been hearing a lot of good things about the brand. I put it on overnight on my flare up and the next day it was 90% gone. It has a similar texture and feel as Aquafor, so I was initially worried that it wouldn’t do anything since Aquafor does not work for my eczema, but I was wrong! It’s not as waxy as Aquafor and does absorb into the skin to some extent.
Nothing special here

It’s good for my face at night, but that can also be said about aquafor.. I’ve had chapped lips and this doesn’t help at all. It’s not moisturizing it’s really thin so I apply it over and over again. Nothing special about this.

My skin has been going through a lot the last two months and I cant explain it. My face has been red/irritated, flaking and stinging. I tried so many other moisturizers and when I saw this on the website I decided to try it and see if it will help my poor skin. This helps soo much!! I use it at night and my skin feels so much better its been helping my skin heal from what has been irritating is ( I have no idea what). Highly recommend!

One of my favorite of this line. I have dry skin and I use a tiny bit of this over my night cream. I don’t wake up to dry skin anymore, even when i use retinol

I've been using the Skin Utility Ointment for two weeks and it has saved my skin. Arizona is always dry but this winter, with absolutely no rain at all, has increased skin irritation for everyone. I started having issues I've never had before. Enter Skin Utility Ointment. Almost overnight it soothed my skin and the dry, itchy patches resolved quickly. It is a pleasure to use. My dermatologist told me that they've seen more skin issues this year than they have ever seen before due to the climate. I suggested the ointment for my sister-in-law and she loves it too!

This is the best healing ointment I have tried for my chronically-dry lips (better than Aquaphor, Cerave, Cetaphil, and Vaseline). It is easy and hygienic to dispense. It has no taste or smell. It doesn’t melt onto my chin. A small amount is all it takes and I don’t have to reapply often. I think it is a tremendous value as 2 oz will last a long time. If you struggle with dry lips year-round, I highly recommend giving this product a try. I will buy it for as long as Prequel makes it using this magical formula. ❤️❤️❤️
Ok

45 percent petroleum, that is Vaseline. Same as aquaphor or cerave healing ointment. They are all half petroleum based.
This is the GOAT

I received this as a sample with my first Prequel purchase and decided to try it.... WOW! Like others are saying, this isn't like Vaseline at all; it adds a lot more. I slugged with it and woke up with such amazingly hydrated skin the next morning. Can't wait to try this on my Tretinoin and chemical peel nights. I haven't even tried the actual items that I purchased yet, but I'm already a Prequel fan!
Not paying for this

Really liking this alternative to Vaseline, doesn’t feel too greasy. Says all over but it is the only product I’ve ever used that consistently made me break out on my face. So would recommend but not for face
Great product to use with retinol retinoids etc

Absolutely fantastic product. A LITTLE GOES A VERY LONG WELL. I am on prescription Tretinoin and I will either use this product as the final sandwich occlusive at night or in the morning as a last step on the areas of my face that get dry like cheeks and nose folds
Better texture and utility for me than others

I have been using this for a little while, and am glad to have it. It's thinner than other ointments, and doesnt' make me feel crazy slippery. Been keeping it near my bed for cuticles and lips before bed. Recommended to others for dry noses from tissues and colds and the tube is going to last me a good while.
Expensive Vaseline

Was so excited to try this as I love other products from Prequel. This is extremely greasy, yet somehow leaves my skin dry the next morning. Definitely cheaper alternatives out there.
Game changer!

This is such a great product! I have atopic dermatitis and this has kept the flair ups calm. Also used on a burn from cooking. Had no discomfort and it's healing well. Good for my pierced ears as I wear Christmas jewelry that has nickle- irritating to my ears. My ears have had no flare ups!!
Not for me but pleasant

It was fine, but I prefer other petrolatum-based products. I've loved almost everything from prequel, but this wasn't for me! You may like it if you like a thinner ointment. For me, I prefer a thick product on my cuticles and lips.
