Good Molecules earns largely positive reviews for gentle, effective formulas—standouts include the Niacinamide Brightening Toner, Discoloration Correcting Serum, Hyaluronic Acid Serum, Pineapple Exfoliating Powder, and the Sheer Mineral Sunscreen—while feedback flags inconsistency across SKUs. Reviews also note occasional irritation, runny or soapy textures, eye patches that slip, and some products underperforming for dark circles or acne.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
I’ve tried lots of hyaluronic acid boosting essences, and this is nothing special but for the price point it is a good layer of hydration. What I do like about this is the price point. I like the amount that you receive with purchasing this product, but the formulation is extremely runny like this is water so I am choosing for my skin definitely like a milky essence opposed to this, but for someone that has already hydrated skin is looking for maybe a midday refresher no acne this would be a great booster just slap on your face and it soaks and you can’t really tell you just put on a product. It wouldn’t leave you with like a glowing glass skin look. but you’ll feel a little more hydrated.

This is the best niacinamide serum I’ve tried so far! I really notice a reduction in oiliness when I use this consistently, and it doesn’t irritate my skin. It’s a great value when you consider the price!

super affordable products that really work. this body lotion sinks in to the skin easily and helps prevent and fade post-acne marks. large bottle that lasts a long time. prefer the lotion to the serum personally!

The Yerba Mate Wake Up Gel is a good product if you don't really have an issue with dark undereye circles. If you just need to depuff and smooth out the eye then this is a great choice but it does move around a bit so don't use a lot.

I love these pimple patches! They are inexpensive, can barely be seen when you apply them onto your face, and they do a great job at significantly reducing blemishes. I am always using them and constantly buying more!

Good molecules actually have good working molecules, that helped to fight discoloration on my body skin, it is formula is clean and working, was worried about ingredients before trying it and studied it well

I absolutely love good molecules hyaluronic acid serum! It’s affordable, accessible, and effective. I apply about 1/4 of a dropper to damp skin and follow immediately with moisturizer. I’ve noticed a difference in my skin looking smoother and will definitely repurchase this.

I've tested out a lot of the Good Molecules skincare line, and my favorites are the incredibly affordable eye gel, pimple patches, and caffeine eye patches. The serums and daily moisturizer have a kind of soapy feel when you rub them in, but the moisturizer is thick and effective.

I have been looking for a clean facial cleanser for a while. The Yuka app recommended this one for me and I found it at my Target. I got the cleanser for my daughters and I to try. It's gentle and works well! On each of our skin types (10 years old, 14, and 45). I liked it so much I am now trying the toner, color corrector, and serum. I'll come back and update about them after some time passes to see if they work well.

This brands Yerba mate wake up eye gel is amazing and for $6!!!! Like you can’t beat it and can easily find at Amazon and Ulta.

My esthetician recommended that I incorporate the Good Molecules hyaluronic acid serum into my skincare routine. I heeded her advice, and am so happy I did! I love that Good Molecules makes quality skincare products accessible and extremely affordable. Applied on damp skin, the hyaluronic serum dries down and doesn't leave a sticky residue that others, like The Ordinary's, do.

A standing ovation for Good Molecules, please. Firstly, for $6, I can get an eye cream that actually works, almost instantly?! GM are living in the year 3000. I will always plug this brand, I love them. I genuinely love their products and find that they actually work. They are worth it. GO, RUN, DON'T WALK!

Good Molecules aka The Ordinary killer is my fave clean but cheap brand. All of their products are insanely effective AND affordable. I use the Hyaluronic Acid Boosting Essence and the Hyaluronic Acid Serum and retinol eye cream religiously.

One of the best affordable skincare lines! Their products are easily comparable to other high-end items, and they always have the most lovely ingredients. This Pineapple Exfoliating Powder I *swear* was under $20… and it lasts FOREVER. I love Good Molecules!

I love that this brand does not test on animals. As an animal lover it means a lot to me. This lightweight serum goes a long way. You don't need a lot to cover your face. I sometimes use it (when I am not lazy) with my facial steamer. The pH is 5.8 which is great as it is on the higher part of the range for a serum. It's a good price point and it makes me go to Ulta to shop. 5 stars for me.

My skin likes these and they’re so affordable! Win win. I The Ordinary and Inkey List are comparable products to Good Molecules, and I have tried products from all 3 brands but like Good Molecules the most by far! I use the Super Peptide Serum, Niacinamide serum, and the Hylauronic Acid serum. While the other two are fine, I definitely see the biggest difference with the Super Peptide. My skin feels and looks really plump after using it. I haven’t tested myself but have seen videos on Tik Tok where other users have tested the quality of these products with apps. It seems like Good Molecules is quite high quality because most products tested scored above 90 (out of 100).

Honestly if you’re on the fence about them- it’s $5 to try! I started with the bar cleanser and now I have a whole row of rotational products. Everything is high quality, relevant to skin needs and affordable! Plus the packaging is usually glass and the ingredients are spelled out on the back (percentages) so you know what you’re paying for! The viral discoloration serum is a fan favorite over here! The pineapple powder cleanser is also a favorite of mine! The brightening gel is great for retinol layering. I really love them !


I have a whole good molecules collection might not be all but am obsessed, it works magic and i recommend The discoloration serum fade me dark spot so fast and the naincinmide toner help brigten up my full face

Hands down best skin care I have used. The products are fairly sized and highly affordable. They are also very transparent about what goes into their products!

Huge fan of these products! The formulas are very gentle on my dry skin and I have yet to have a negative reaction. The packaging is sturdy and the application instructions are very clear. Pricing is comparable to The Ordinary, so very affordable. I have also tried The Ordinary products and have to say Good Molecules is better. If you've used The Ordinary or The Inkey, I would highly recommend giving Good Molecules a try.
