"I share the country's admiration for the bravery of Captain Phillips and his selfless concern for his crew. His courage is a model for all Americans."--President Barack Obama It was just another day on the job for fifty-three-year-old Richard Phillips, captain of the Maersk Alabama, the United States-flagged cargo ship which was carrying, among other things, food and agricultural materials for the World Food Program. That all changed when armed Somali pirates boarded the ship. The pirates didn't expect the crew to fight back, nor did they expect Captain Phillips to offer himself as hostage in exchange for the safety of his crew. Thus began the tense five-day stand-off, which ended in a daring high-seas rescue when U.S. Navy SEALs opened fire and picked off three of the captors. "It never ends like this," Captain Phillips said. And he's right. A Captain's Duty tells the life-and-death drama of the Vermont native who was held captive on a tiny lifeboat off Somalia's anarchic, gun-plagued shores. A story of adventure and courage, it provides the intimate details of this high-seas hostage-taking--the unbearable heat, the death threats, the mock executions, and the escape attempt. When the pirates boarded his ship, Captain Phillips put his experience into action, doing everything he could to safeguard his crew. And when he was held captive by the pirates, he marshaled all his resources to ensure his own survival, withstanding intense physical hardship and an escalating battle of wills with the pirates. This was it: the moment where training meets instinct and where character is everything. Richard Phillips was ready.

New favorite moisture serum
I am blown away by this formula - it goes on silky and absorbs into the skin, giving it a plump, hydrated glow without ANY stickiness or annoying shine. Two pumps after cleansing and toner is just right but you can also go in heavier and use in place of a moisturizer. This truly gives me lasting moisture, which is amazing for a light to mid-weight serum. Wears great with other complexion products and under makeup. The glass bottle is luxe and the pump isn't the least bit messy. Glycerin is all the rage in terms of "hot" ingredients right now - and I have to say after using this, I'm a believer. I've pretty much replaced a classic daily moisturizer with pairing this serum before Strata Lipid Gold (another holy grail) - which works great under my moisturizing Japanese sunscreen (Canmake Mermaid Skin). These steps provide a flawless, juicy base under makeup for my maturing (43-year old) skin. Can't wait to try more products in this line.

Good
Moisturizing and gel like. It pills when used with the Prequel mineral SPF.

LOVE
I love this stuff, doesn't irritate my skin and one pump goes a long way. I like to apply it right out of the shower with some rose hydrosol so my skin can soak it right up. Has a great plumping effect and doesn't irritate sensitive eye or lip areas. The glass bottle is a must for me and the pump is a nice added bonus. Also nice that it is made in the US. No strong scents or any fragrance, lasts me a long time too so the price isn't too bad. I'm new to this brand but am absolutely loving it so far!
If Prequel is reading this, PLEASE start using aluminum or glass pump bottles for your face cleansers and offer cheaper refills in packets- I'm sure there are plenty of people who would be willing to pay a bit more for the bottle and then less for a refill. Maybe the cost would even out? I love being able to keep your glass bottles and I hate having to throw out these plastic bottles. Just a thought...

Great product!
Super nice. Does not dry sticky or like “egg whites” on your face. Is very hydrating and comfortable. Great for sensitive skin too.

AM & PM Staple!
If you’re looking for a product that actually hydrates and has a bare bones ingredients list, this is it. I have very sensitive, pale skin that’s been even drier since starting tretinoin, and this serum has been amazing. The first time I used it, I saw a noticeable difference in the fine lines. It hydrates even more when I apply it while my face is still wet, and I don’t have to worry about it reacting with other products in my routine. It has no smell, and two pumps is all I need so the bottle has lasted a few months. Now a staple in my AM and PM routine.
