"Started seeing results in the first couple weeks and now after a full year of using this product I have brand new skin! My biggest insecurity is gone and I can feel confident in myself again."
"I couldn’t find anything to help treat the hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, and rough texture left behind from the acne scars until I discovered this absolute gem!"
"These before and after photos are from 6 months apart and without using any other products! So thankful to have found this brand!"
"I have been using these products for almost a year. I have been waiting for my face to break out again like it has done the last several winters... it hasn't happened. My skin is clearer and healthier than ever. I don't have severe itching and pain from brutal adult acne. Thank you Barefaced."
