Learn the correct order and technique for applying Prequel's Multi-Quench Polyglutamic Acid Serum to maximize hydration and skin benefits.
Polyglutamic acid (PGA) is a powerful humectant that holds up to 4,000 times its weight in water, making it a star ingredient for deep hydration. Prequel's Multi-Quench Polyglutamic Acid Serum harnesses this ingredient to deliver plumping, soothing moisture without heaviness.

But to get the most out of this serum, you need to apply it correctly. In this step-by-step guide, we'll walk you through the ideal routine, from cleansing to moisturizing, so your skin can fully absorb and benefit from the serum.
Step 1: Start with a Clean Slate
Always apply the Multi-Quench Polyglutamic Acid Serum to freshly cleansed skin. Use a gentle cleanser like the Glycerin & Glycolic Acid Cleanser to remove dirt, oil, and makeup without stripping your skin's natural barrier. Pat your face dry with a clean towel, leaving it slightly damp to help the serum spread evenly.
- Avoid harsh cleansers that can disrupt your skin's pH balance.
Step 2: Apply Toner or Essence (Optional)
If you use a toner or essence, apply it before the serum. This preps your skin to better absorb the polyglutamic acid. Look for alcohol-free formulas that add an extra layer of hydration. Wait 30 seconds for the toner to sink in before moving to the next step.
- A hydrating toner with ingredients like glycerin or hyaluronic acid works well.
Step 3: Dispense and Apply the Serum
Pump 2-3 drops of the Multi-Quench Polyglutamic Acid Serum into your palm. Gently press the serum onto your face and neck using your fingertips. Avoid rubbing or pulling—use a patting motion to encourage absorption. Focus on areas that feel dry or dehydrated.
- A pea-sized amount is usually enough for the entire face.
Step 4: Layer with Moisturizer
After the serum has absorbed (about 30-60 seconds), follow up with a moisturizer to seal in the hydration. The Multi-Quench Polyglutamic Acid Gel Cream is an excellent choice—it's lightweight yet deeply nourishing, and it complements the serum perfectly. For extra barrier support, consider the THE BARRIER THERAPY DUO.
- If you have oily skin, a gel-based moisturizer works best.
Step 5: Finish with Sunscreen (AM Routine)
In the morning, always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen as your final step. Hydrated skin is more susceptible to UV damage, so protection is key. A lightweight sunscreen like the Sunscreen Lip Balm can also be used on your lips for complete coverage.
- Reapply sunscreen every two hours if you're outdoors.
By following these steps, you can maximize the hydrating power of the Multi-Quench Polyglutamic Acid Serum and achieve a plumper, healthier complexion. Ready to upgrade your routine? Explore the Multi-Quench Polyglutamic Acid Serum today and experience the difference.
