FAQs

Who is the Discovery Kit for?

The Discovery Kit is for skincare lovers who want more of Barefaced in one place. Whether you’re expanding your routine, trying products before committing to full sizes, or packing favorites for a trip, its five products cover brightening, exfoliation, hydration, and nighttime renewal. It’s also a thoughtful gift for someone ready for more than the basics.
What’s included in the Discovery Kit?

The kit includes full-size Liquid Gold, travel Toning Pads, mini Overachiever, mini RetinAL Skin, and mini Hydrating Lotion.
What order should I use the products in?

In the morning, cleanse, use Toning Pads on your scheduled exfoliation days, then apply Liquid Gold, Overachiever, and Hydrating Lotion. Finish with sunscreen. At night, cleanse, apply your serums, follow with RetinAL Skin on scheduled nights, and finish with Hydrating Lotion. Build frequency gradually according to each product’s directions and your skin’s comfort.
How should I introduce the products into my routine?

Introduce one new product at a time so you can see how your skin responds. Patch test Toning Pads before first use, then start every other day for two weeks. Start Overachiever once every other day, increasing to daily use after one to two weeks as tolerated. Start RetinAL Skin every third night and gradually increase frequency as your skin adjusts. Reduce frequency if dryness or irritation develops.
Can I use Toning Pads with RetinAL Skin?

Yes. If you’re new to either product or prone to sensitivity, use Toning Pads only in the morning on scheduled exfoliation days and RetinAL Skin at night. Only add evening Toning Pads once your skin tolerates the combination without dryness or sensitivity.
What is the difference between Overachiever and RetinAL Skin?

Barefaced RetinAL Skin contains retinaldehyde, a retinoid used at night to help improve the appearance of fine lines, uneven tone, and texture. Overachiever is a bakuchiol-powered retinoid alternative that supports smoother, calmer-looking skin and can be used morning and evening as tolerated.
Can I use Overachiever and RetinAL Skin in the same routine?

Yes, Overachiever and RetinAL Skin can be part of the same overall skincare routine. A simple approach is to use Overachiever in the morning and RetinAL Skin at night. You do not need to add Overachiever to your nighttime routine when using RetinAL Skin; follow with moisturizer instead.
When should I use Liquid Gold in my routine?

Apply Barefaced Liquid Gold vitamin C serum after cleansing and Toning Pads, if used, and before other serums, moisturizer, and morning SPF. Start every other morning if you are new to vitamin C, then increase as tolerated; if using once daily, apply it in the morning. Liquid Gold can be used up to twice daily, once in the morning, and once in the evening.

What do I need to complete my routine?

The Discovery Kit includes your exfoliating, vitamin C, serum, nighttime retinoid, and moisturizing steps. Add a cleanser before applying the kit products and sunscreen as your final step each morning. Neither a cleanser nor sunscreen is included.
Is this product considered pregnancy or nursing-friendly?

RetinAL Skin is not recommended for use while pregnant. We recommend consulting your healthcare provider for any other specific concerns.
What’s the difference between the Fresh Start Kit and the Discovery Kit?

The Fresh Start Kit keeps things simple with three products focused on texture, hydration, and barrier support. The Discovery Kit offers five products, including full-size Liquid Gold and mini RetinAL Skin, for someone who wants to experience more of Barefaced.
When should I start to see results with Overachiever?

You may notice more hydrated, softer-feeling skin within the first few weeks, while improvements in texture, tone, and firmness develop over 8–12 weeks of consistent use. Bakuchiol helps improve visible signs of aging, while peptides and hydrating ingredients support smoother, firmer-looking skin and the moisture barrier. Individual results vary.
What should I expect when starting RetinAL Skin?

Mild dryness, flaking, or temporary breakouts can be normal as your skin adjusts to RetinAL Skin, but these effects should ease over time. Introduce it gradually and follow with moisturizer. If symptoms persist or worsen, or you experience burning or ongoing redness or irritation, pause use and consult your healthcare provider.

Great to test out everything!

"Loving this so far. I was using toning pads with serums from other brands. I’ve been wanting to try the retinal and overachiever to see which one my skin likes better. This bundle was the best way to try both plus the vitamin c and not break the bank on a trail run! Only using barefaced the last 6 weeks and I’ll be purchasing full size products when I run out!"

— Jennifer R. (5/5)

Skin changing!

"I can’t believe the difference this has made to my skin. It feels so velvety soft. I feel like it has brought the light and glow back to my face. Only been using for a few weeks also notice that it is helping the fine lines and wrinkles. Can’t wait to see results after continue use."

— Treece, K. (5/5)

Excellent product

"I have tried many face creams in my day but the quality of these are amazing! I look forward to washing off the day and putting on my product every night."

— Ashton D. (5/5)

Love

"Love the travel size and bag, my pack of toning pads was not sealed correctly on the bottom so they were dried up"

— Dana J. (5/5)

Amazing

"I used the discovery kit at night and the next morning, I noticed a difference in my skin! At first, I had to think about why my skin felt and looked better. Once, I thought about it, it was from the products in the discovery kit. I have never had a skin routine that was so simple, NOT greasy, quick and brought immediate results. I have been using these products for over a month and my skin looks and feels amazing. My makeup routine is simple and has not changed since starting the discovery kit however, my makeup looks better now because of the skin underneath! Earlier today, I ordered more barefaced products."

— Laura B. (5/5)

Fabulous intro to Barefaced

"Always wanted to order and this was the perfect combination and price to get the best experience with the products. Love the Liquid Gold!"

— Emily M. (5/5)

Obsessed with these minis!

"As a longtime barefaced user, I bought these to use as my travel size products. I took them to Paris and London with me last week and it made my overall packing much lighter. I’m so thankful Barefaced came out with these!"

— Tiffany-Ann G. (5/5)

a work in progress

"This is my second time trying barefaced and I want to love it. I just feel like it's very drying to my skin. I've tried skipping days and mixing up the schedule, not using products on the same day but ultimately, I don't think it's for me. I will finish the products but won't be reordering."

— ALICIA K. (3/5)

Nice bag, very small samples

"I love the idea of minis and this bag is great. Quality is on point per usual. My only complaint is that the samples really don’t last and it’s too pricey to keep buying. I went on a weekend trip and they were close to gone after only a few uses"

— Lily F. (4/5)

The best starter kit.

"I’ve seen significant changes in the brightness and clarity of my skin since introducing the toning pads and vitamin C serum. I am slowly adding in the additional products and can’t wait to see the continued results"

— Courtney B. (5/5)
