FAQs

What skin types is C+ Correcting Complex best for?

C+ Correcting Complex 30% is ideal for those with a known sensitivity to L-ascorbic acid and for melasma-prone skin types. While Liquid Gold remains our gold-standard Vitamin C formulated with L-ascorbic acid, C+ Correcting Complex 30% offers a well-tolerated alternative for those who need a gentler approach to brightening and correction.
Can I use C+ Correcting Complex with Liquid Gold?

Yes, they can be used together - they complement each other well but do not need to be used at the same time.

  • Liquid Gold: Stabilized vitamin C + antioxidants for daily radiance and hydration
  • C+ Correcting 30%: Intensive brightening and corrective treatment for advanced users

Pairing suggestion:

  • Use C+ Correcting 30% in the morning for maximum antioxidant protection
  • Use Liquid Gold in the evening for ongoing glow and skin barrier support
When should I see results?

Most users notice brighter, smoother skin within 4-6 weeks, with continued improvement in tone and firmness over 8-12 weeks of consistent use. Pair daily use of C+ Correcting Complex with consistent SPF for the best long-term brightening and anti-aging results.
Is this product considered pregnancy or nursing-friendly?

We recommend consulting your healthcare provider for any specific concerns.

"Really enjoying this Vit C serum. I don't like products with droppers, so this was a great compromise for me. It's moisturizing, not sticky, and layers well with my moisturizer and sunscreen. Will keep purchasing!"

— Maggie M. (5/5)

Hesitant to try Vit C start with this product

"Great product! I’ve used vitamin c in the past and it felt too drying for my skin. I wanted to give it another try…read the reviews on the C+ correcting complex and decided to try. So glad I did! Does not dry or irritate my skin at all and my skin is looking brighter."

— Alison T. (5/5)

"Love"

— Rebekah (5/5)

Best Vitamin C

Gentle and Brightening!

"I've been using this Vitamin C serum for a few years now after a Barefaced skin consultation where it was recommended to me, and I love it! I have super sensitive skin and originally started using Barefaced products when I was dealing with bad acne. After using this product (and other Barefaced products) consistently, my acne has disappeared and my skin looks so much better! This Vitamin C serum is brightening but still gentle and doesn't irritate my skin like others I had previously tried."

— Sara (5/5)

Love this product. I like

"Love this product. I like how the pump dispenses less than the skinny longer tube."

— Kristin D. (5/5)

Q&A

How do I use this in combination with the brightening serum? Or do I not need the brightening serum with this Revisions Vitamin C+ serum?
Hi Suzy! If you are using the C+ Correcting Complex you will use it after Brightening Serum as you will want to layer your products in order of thinnest to thickest. Using a Vitamin C in conjunction with Brightening Serum is super important to effectively treat discoloration. Please feel free to reach out to us at hello@barefaced.com with any additional questions- we're happy to help!
Hi, I am 37yo, I have sensitive, dry skin, with a family history of rosacea. Which vitamin c serum would you recommend, and any other products. Would you ever recommend doing one in the am and one pm? I have been using your toning pads and they have brightened and softened my face. They are incredible. Thank you.
Hi Brisa! We'd love to explain the difference between our two vitamin C's. Our Liquid Gold is formulated with L-ascorbic acid as the main ingredient. If you have a known allergy to this specific ingredient then we recommend to use Revisions C+ Correcting Complex 30%. C+ Correcting Complex is for more sensitive skin types. It is formulated with THD ascorbate which is generally more tolerable for those with sensitive skin, meaning it goes through a conversion phase after it touches the skin before it starts working where as the Liquid Gold starts working immediately, as soon as it touches the skin. Feel free to reach out to us if you have any other questions!
