The best skincare brand that has a cool look. Works really well for a cheap price.

I’m new to this brand, but have purchased several products and love them all! I also purchase them for my adult daughter! She loves them as well.
The Pineapple Exfoliating Powder is gentle and turns into a silky foamy dream. I love it! I like the Discoloration correcting serum, I believe it is making a difference. It’s very gentle and non~irritating. I have also tried the ultra~hydrating facial oil. It doesn’t have a strong scent, it’s rich and melts into my skin and I really like it. I like that the products are in glass containers so they can be reused or recycled. The prices were really reasonable as well.

I've been using the Hyaluronic Acid Serum faithfully for 3 weeks and definitely looks and feels more supple and even toned. It's easy to apply, dries fast and doesn't leave a sticky residue. Best of all, the price is right! Great value for money. I also tried the Sheer Mineral sunscreen. It's silky smooth, light and effective. Love it! Great price too.
Love that this brand has straightforward, AFFORDABLE formulas that are widely available! This is a safe bet for proven actives, affordable products, and great textures!

Not crazy about the branding, even though that doesn't matter a ton!
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.
Literally one of the best sunscreens I have ever tried, such a good price and such a great company! The sunscreen literally feels like a moisturizer and it lets you feel good and protected without feeling greasy and weird.
Very affordable. Good range of products. Nice packaging.
Very affordable clean skincare with a lot of active ingredients. I've used a few of their products so far and my skin has been loving them and so have my wallet (retinol cream, glycolic exfoliating toner, rosehip oil and sunscreen). My favourite product has to be the mineral sunscreen, it's AMAZING! First mineral sunscreen I've found that leaves NO white cast and can be used on your face, it's also very moisturizing.
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.

Not much. Good choice for budget skincare.

I think for the price it is excellent, and the packaging is spot on. Coming from a versed background in CPG and manufacturing from a marketing stance, they did a job well with the packaging, as there are other premium brands out there that the price point is super high, and the packaging is crap. I love the formulation too. It seeps in well into the skin. I have only used the hyaluronic one, so can't speak for the other products.

I swear by their eye cream and moisturizer. I see and feel a noticeable difference when I run out of my products. I just started using the BHA cream and it seems to be working! Great prices for what you get.
Cute packaging and affordable skincare. I’ve used the hydrating oil, squalane oil, and rosehip oil - all of which come in tiny bottles that are great for travel.
Good Molecules makes up a solid portion of my day-to-day skincare routine! I use their Hyaluronic Acid Serum and Hyaluronic boosting serum daily, the gentle Pineapple Exfoliating powder a few times a week, and their Ultra Hydrating Facial Oil when I use a gua sha. Since using these products, I have noticed an improvement in the hydration and firmness of my skin. If you have the chance, I definitely recommend grabbing one of their skincare fridges to keep your products cool!
I've loved every single product I've ever bought from Good Molecules, and I've tried most of them. Their products are affordable, effective, and easy to use. I've never had an issue with any of them, and my super sensitive skin loves their formulations. The packaging is both cute and functional, and I love that they focus on key ingredients and results. I contacted their customer support about product ingredients once (my boyfriend is allergic to tree nuts and I wanted to confirm their products were safe for me to use around him) and their team got back to me almost instantly and were incredibly kind, helpful, and personable. I love this brand so much and I recommend it to literally everyone I talk to!!
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.

I have been using their cleansing balm for a while and really like it! I have tried a few others and really like the consistency of this one and that it doesn't leave any residue. Only complaint is how small the product package is.

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.
I really have been loving Good Molecules so far! I’ve been using the discoloration serum for over a year now, and noticed my dark spots have lightened up and my complexion is brighter when I use it versus when I don’t. I also started using the rosehip seed oil, which works well for me as well. Love the packaging and the price point on the items.

Overall I think theyre worth trying due to low price point, yet still feeling like it’s doing something. The discoloration serum is a new holy grail item for me, but I haven’t had a need to try many other products from the line yet.
Honestly, everything I've tried from Good Molecules just hasn't worked for me. The Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel didn't really impact my dark circles, and the Overnight Exfoliating Treatment didn't make an impact on my pores. The Caffeine Energizing Hydrogel Eye Patches kept slipping on my face and didn't really change my eyes in the mornings. When used on active pimples, the BHA Clarify Gel Cream seemed to make them even worse. And, the Clarify & Cleanse bar didn't help treat my acne, and also was a pain to use & left my skin feeling very dry and stripped. If you want skincare on a budget, I'd recommend The Ordinary over this.
