Good Molecules Reviews
Experience
A few months ago I bought the Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up eye gel, what I figured was only going to be an eye cream but GIRL it's been SOOO MUCH MORE! Regularly, I'm walking around with a bright RED inflamed, sore nose due to Rosacea. I am very conscious of the ingredients I can & can't be exposed to, as well as what's been working for me. Aside from the sensitive skin, rosacea I also have larger pores and combo/oily skin. I am fair, & due to the rosacea, I struggle to walk around with an even skin tone because sun exposure, heat, cold, AIR, literally anything will trigger my rosacea and while my skin has been improving lately, there's still some significant flare ups. In comes Yerba Mate, the keystone ingredient to this wonderful eye/face cream. Yerba Mate has incredible anti-inflammatory & antibacterial properties. It fights acne, encourages collagen production, protects skin from the sun & helps regulate oil production. It essentially combats all of the problems I've been facing with my open soreness rosacea inflammation. Aside from a conscious diet, and skin routine, it's become the most valuable part of my skincare because of the undeniable results I've seen since deciding to smear this stuff all over my problem areas! Under eyes, nose, T-zone, acne, you get some & you get some! Seriously though, ya'll won't be sleeping on this stuff much longer!

The only reason why I didn't give it a 5 star is that this was my very first experience with Niacinamide, so I don't know how other brands rate compared to Good Molecules. To start with, Their Serum dropper bottle was smartly done. I say this because it was made in a way where it collects any residue from the sides of the dropper before leaving the bottle (only in the dropper) to prevent it getting messy, or losing any small amounts in the process. I have large pores and have had acne over the years. Not a large amount of acne, but always in the regular prone places there will be SOMETHING I have to cover up that contrasts with the rest of my complexion. I did notice after almost 4 weeks of using the serum my pores seemed to shrink a little, spots of hyperpigmentation had faded a bit, and my overall complexion was much more tolerable. I have combination skin, which is why I went with the serum over their other products. I have already recommended this to a few friends.
Feedback
It's really hard to beat their price point, which is why I was suspicious. But it's definitely worth the price even to just check it out!

Experience
Received a couple serums and oils as a sample, and it has really cute packaging but unfortunately didn’t work for my skin. It did help my with hydration by using the oil, but otherwise it didn’t help me with my redness or pores.

Experience
I love the transparency with the formulas all the way down to the lowest percent, not something you see in this industry often. Their price point is also unbelievable. I really enjoy using their yerba mate eye gel. Yerba mate is one of my favorite ingredients and I love seeing use in beauty and personal care products. I also love that its a light gel but it does not leave a residue or a tacky after-feel once dried.
Experience
New-ish to skin care so transparency and low ingredients are huge for me. Pretty brand-loyal to deciem/ordinary products for those two reasons. When I received mine (was sent a sample) I thought it was ok and didn't find significant benefit over the deciem/ordinary products I was already using. Deciem is also pretty affordably priced. My guess is I'm not their demo (younger male, newer to skincare).
Experience
The Yerba Mate eye gel took some time to grow on me, but I really love it. I'd never used an under eye cream before, and I kind of assumed it would just correct discoloration and eyebags; it's a cream, not a concealer, so I was initially disappointed that I didn't see much of a difference in coloration. The more I used it, though, the more hydrated I could feel that area becoming and I noticed it made that area much more smooth and supple. It's super cooling and melts into the skin easily. I still haven't used mine up--you only need a tiny bit!-- but for the price point and the long-term effects, I know it'll be an easy product to repurchase.
Experience
I love how they asked about any issues with my skin and sent exactly what my skin needed. Not only was the packaging so cute, but the packages were informative about the ingredients used. One of the serum boxes came with steps on which products to apply first and I'd definitely rate them: 10/10

Experience
I used the niacinamide serum for a couple of months this year. I wouldn't say it was fantastic, but it definitely served me well. Pretty packaging is a plus.
Experience
Great price point for standard skincare needs. I picked up the Vitamin C Booster Powder and add it to the other products I use. It definitely buffs up my skin and gives a little radiance boost.
Feedback
Not much. Good choice for budget skincare.

Not crazy about the branding, even though that doesn't matter a ton!
