FAQs

Who is the Fresh Start Kit for?

Fresh Start Kit is for anyone new to Barefaced, getting back into skincare, or looking for a simpler routine. Its three products bring together exfoliation, hydration, and moisture barrier support, making it a thoughtful gift for skincare beginners and minimalists.
What’s included in the Fresh Start Kit?

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

After cleansing, use Toning Pads on your scheduled exfoliation days. Follow with Overachiever, then Hydrating Lotion. Finish with sunscreen in the morning. The products can be used morning and night, building up to twice-daily use as tolerated.
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. Gradually build frequency according to each product’s directions and your skin’s comfort.
Why does the kit include both Overachiever and Hydrating Lotion?

Overachiever is your treatment serum, while Hydrating Lotion is your moisturizer. Overachiever addresses multiple skin concerns, helping refine texture, soothe skin, and soften the look of fine lines while providing hydration. Hydrating Lotion follows with moisture and barrier support, helping keep skin feeling comfortable and hydrated throughout the day. They work together, so you get targeted treatment followed by a moisturizing layer.
What do I need to complete my routine?

Fresh Start Kit covers your exfoliating, serum, 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.
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.
How long will the Toning Pads in my kit last?

The full-size Toning Pads jar includes 60 pads and typically lasts 1–2 months, depending on how often you use it.
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 skin types is Overachiever best for?

Overachiever is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin. It’s especially helpful for those seeking hydration, barrier support, and smoother, calmer-looking skin.
What skin types is Hydrating Lotion best for?

Hydrating Lotion works for all skin types, especially normal, dry, and combination skin.
It’s also ideal for those introducing actives for the first time, helping offset dryness or irritation from acids and retinoids.
Is this product considered pregnancy or nursing-friendly?

We recommend consulting your healthcare provider for any specific concerns.

Pore-tastic

"I love so far what this kit has done for my pores. They have definitely shrunken in size. I have been dealing with some breaks out though, probably due to purging. It's only been a month so we'll in the next coming weeks what happens."

— Edokiya S. (4/5)

Great way to try two new (to me) items!!

"I’ve been eyeing the overachiever for months now but felt confident in my current routine. When I saw this kit I knew it was time try and I’m so glad I did! Loved being able to try the overachiever and hydrating lotion, two products that can do it all."

— Kelsie T. (5/5)

I truly cannot say enough

"I truly cannot say enough good things about this brand and these products. They have become non-negotiables in my routine, and I honestly can’t imagine my skincare without them. Every product feels intentional, effective, and made with so much care. My skin has never felt healthier, calmer, or more balanced. Barefaced is one of those rare companies that you trust completely — from ingredients to results. These are products I will never stop using, and a brand I will always support. Absolute favorites for life."

— Ginny E. (5/5)

Love

"These products are top notch! And customer service is even better. I had to reach out about an issue with the pump on one of the products and they were very responsive and quick to resolve my issue. Couldn’t recommend more!"

— Jenna V. (5/5)

Great product!

"I am loving this new brand of skincare! So far my skin is reacting well--I am excited to see what continuous use gives me."

— Erica M. (5/5)

Great products

"I really enjoyed trying these products. I saw a difference even in just a few weeks so I decided to subscribe and purchase more. Not a big deal but this did not come with the green kit to store and travel with the skincare even though it looks like it will."

— Christina P. (5/5)

Best way to try out the products

"I was so excited to try this set because I've been wanting to try these products for a while but wasn't ready to commit to buying the full sizes. This was a great way to try them out and make sure they work for me. I've loved everything and will be buying the bigger sizes."

— Erica S. (5/5)
