Some parts of skincare routines are best suited to the calm of a bathroom counter, but other elements need to keep pace with the demands of daily life, and Prereq Care specializes in skincare for pre-teens and teens that's "built for backpacks, not bathrooms."
Prereq—the first self-care line designed for how Gen Alpha actually lives—was created with a dermatologist and a group of 50 real pre-teens and teens. The sensitive-safe skincare solutions by Prereq are designed to deliver blue light protection and microbiome support with simple, single-step products. Prereq's formulas are made to move, as seen in slim, refillable packaging across the lineup and convenient products like the Giving Me Life Hydro-Mist for instant hydration and skin barrier support, or the Reset Mode Deo Multi-Mist for on-demand odor defense and microbiome care.
