How should I introduce new Barefaced products into my routine?Updated 4 months ago

When starting products with active ingredients like retinoids, glycolic acid, or salicylic acid, it’s best to ease them into your routine gradually to minimize sensitivity.

Here’s our recommended approach:

Start slow: Use new products 2–3 times per week on alternating days.

One at a time: If you’re adding more than one new product, introduce them separately (on different days) so your skin has time to adjust.

Increase gradually: After 2 weeks, if your skin feels balanced (no unusual dryness or irritation), you can increase frequency by one day at a time.

Listen to your skin: If you’re happy with how your skin looks and feels, follow this method, increasing usage up to 5-7x per week if desired.  Our primary tip: Slow and steady wins the race.

💡 Pro tip: Always apply to damp skin for better absorption, and follow with a moisturizer to support your skin barrier.
