FAQs

Is this product considered pregnancy or nursing-friendly?

We recommend consulting your healthcare provider for any specific concerns.
What skin types is Liquid Gold best for?

Liquid Gold is suitable for most skin types, including normal, dry, and combination skin. Its lightweight formula delivers hydration without heaviness and absorbs quickly, making it a great fit for daytime use.

If you have sensitive skin, start slow (2–3 times per week) to build tolerance before daily use.
Can I use Liquid Gold with other Barefaced products?

Yes, Liquid Gold layers well with most Barefaced products. Just introduce it gradually if you’re using other actives like acids or retinoids.
How long does Liquid Gold last?

An unopened bottle of Liquid Gold has a shelf life of 12 months when stored in a cool, dry place. Once opened, we recommend using it within 3-4 months for best results and maximum potency. Always close the lid tightly after each use to prevent premature oxidation and lengthen product life span.
