"The Face" series extended the range of contestants. Both men and women could become "The Face Vietnam". Contestants faced five challenges: 'Catwalk with personal style', 'Catwalk whilst hiding their faces in a hat', 'Taking a photo showing their true beauty', 'Show their talent' and 'Interview with the mentors'. After many months of casting in Ho Chi Minh City & Hanoi, fifteen models passed to the pick-team round.

The models had to make a commercial video for Viaggio Refreshing Smoothie Cleanser. Johnny Cai & Lê Phương - who represented Viaggio skincare, chose team Thu Phương as the winner and Hương Liên was the best performer overall and she would receive a 6-month contract with Viaggio along with products worth 10.000.000VND.

Episode 8: The Spectacular Comeback
First aired 30 July 2023
In this episode, the 7 eliminated models were shot a set of between 5 and 8 photos for a furniture brand named Phố Xinh. After that, they had to present their products and photos by themselves. Cẩm Đan, Tuấn Anh & Kim Ngân were deemed the best performer of each team. Despite being scolded by guest judge Naomi Thủy Nguyễn for failing to control her emotions, Cẩm Đan had the best photo, therefore she won the challenge and returned to the competition.
- Return: Nguyễn Thị Cẩm Đan
The remaining 8 models were filmed a 90-second promotional video for Phố Xinh furniture brand. Each team wrote their own script and cast their roles in the settings and locations, before having 1 hour to film (All three teams were required to do it at the same time). While Tuấn Ngọc & Hương Liên were chosen by the brand, team Anh Thư won the challenge. Tuấn Ngọc, despite having booked for job, was nominated to protect his teammates. Team Thu Phương, on the other hand, nominated Xuân Hạnh because they thought Phương Vy would be in the darkroom. Anh Thư was angered by Tuấn Ngọc's appearance in the darkroom, therefore she called Kỳ Duyên/Minh Triệu. She even forced them to sacrifice one of them if they wanted Tuấn Ngọc to stay. After an intense argument between the three mentors and producer Trang Lê, Anh Thư temporarily spared the nominees and gave the other mentors 10 minutes to reconsider their nominations. Since the mentors did not change their nominees (especially Kỳ Duyên/Minh Triệu did not care), Anh Thư ultimately eliminated Tuấn Ngọc, although she acknowledged that he was a strong contender.
