I like when brand owners talk about their brands it shows it wasn’t a one and done but something they are truly passionate about. I personally love to see them incorporated into your routines. It’s helpful for my own.

I love that you are promoting your own science backed formulations. You have seen a need and are working diligently to create a product that fills that need. As a nurse, molecular biologist, and biochemist, I appreciate your product transparency and your explanation of why it is efficacious. I love that you have taken a somewhat difficult and at times convoluted topic and expressed it in easy to understand verbiage. The key to mastery of a topic, in my opinion, is to be able to simplify it in a way that is accessible to everyone. We all have our areas of expertise. I am very grateful that you share yours. I will be purchasing your products. Thank you!

Just here to say I REALLY appreciate the price point of your products. They all seem very thoughtful, and it's nice you make them affordable. I love your videos too! They are always so informative. Thank you!

I am OBSESSED with the Gleanser- it’s truly the best cleanser I’ve ever used. It’s so soft and silky, but still cleans my face without leaving it feeling dry and stripped. Most gentle cleansers don’t seem to clean enough. I can’t wait to try your other products, and I appreciate the price point. It’s exciting to be able to afford such lovely products. 🎉

Thx for the info about your Prequel products, all of which were created with integrity and education, are affordable, and feel so good on the skin. Please keep them coming.

I can't wait for a Prequel sunscream and first cleanser to round out my routine because this brand is amazing for my dry and eczema skin.

I ordered and have been using the Prequel cleanser and vitamin c. These two products are awesome! I’m 53 and the cleanser is so hydrating without making my skin oily. FYI I do have oily skin still at 53. The vitamin c is so light and not sticky! Wonderful job Dr. Ellis!

I adore the Prequel Barrier Cream on my rosacea skin. It feels so good. I want to keep putting it on multiple times a day. I have to stop myself from using it too much. The way it applies and how it makes my skin feel is something I haven’t found in any other creams.

YES ST. MARLA!!!! It's SO crazy to me that M-61 doesnt get more airtime in the social media skincare space. I have THE dryest most sensitive skin AND I have lupus so my body is on the lookout for inflammation opportunities 24/7, and the power glow peel completely resurfaces my face and DOESNT IRRITATE IT AT ALL. It's MIRACULOUS. And really all M-61 products are worth a look. So happy to hear Dr. Sam endorse this brand. (And if you're interested in Marla Malcom Beck, the founder of M-61 and Blue Mercury, her story is told in the book The Intelligent Entrepreneur.)

Please please do a makeup tutorial, your makeup looked flawless this year 😍😍

Dr Sam, so so glad you’ve launched your own line, with your knowledge and experience, I can’t wait to use the gleanser and Vitamin C serum, and the prices, much more affordable than I thought they would be. So thank you for that! Happy New Year to you and your family.😊

[melaniehall]

👏 Thank you for mentioning the contact lens situation 😊… it’s good to know that it’s less likely to make your contacts cloudy. ✨

[juliabinford]

I love the prequel products I’ve purchased. It is amazing to me that you provide so much product at such a reasonable price.

[ginalawley]

Thanks, Dr Ellis, for your derm channel. I value your professionalism, expertise and honesty. I live in Australia and am really excited about your skincare line. I'm wondering if you plan to ship internationally in the future? I would love to use your products.

[TObeORnotBE]

im going to shop from your site and try your products. they are very affordable in my opinion, thank you and free shipping over $30 is definitely an incentive for me to buy more products.

[stephaniecruz]

That prequel cleanser is AMAZING ❤️ Hands down my new all time favorite cleanser 🤌🤌🤌

[fritzpeterson]

I just ordered our cleanser, Vitamin C and barrier repair moisturizer. Like you, I have rosacea and dermatitis, but I have never been able to tolerate a retinol product. Debating on trying the Medik8 one. My skin gets so dry and red no matter what I have tried which is so frustrating because I am 62 and I know it is the best thing for antiaging. Can't wait to get your products.

[fitnessworksnc]

I just ordered some of your products. I like that the Vitamin C is in a pump bottle. Thank you for selling reasonably priced, high quality products!
