Good Molecules earns largely positive reviews for effective, gentle formulas that rival higher-end options, with standouts like the Discoloration Correcting Serum, Niacinamide Brightening Toner, Hyaluronic Acid Serum, Yerba Mate Eye Gel, and a sheer mineral sunscreen that leaves no white cast. Reviews also flag drawbacks: certain actives can irritate sensitive users, some products feel runny or soapy and underperform (e.g., BHA Clarify Gel Cream, Overnight Exfoliating Treatment), and the eye patches slip and the sunscreen SPF could be higher.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
Absolutely stunning. I’m only using YUKA app approved safe products and this brand fits that and a truly great price point. The skincare is mostly in glass bottles, I particularly love the serums - they are just as good as other expensive brands. They last, have truly helped my 40 year old skin, and I just placed another order for more serums.

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

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.

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.
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!!
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 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 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.

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.

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.
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.

Product quality
I decided to give Good Molecules a try after seeing an ad. I figured for the price, it wouldn't be a loss if I didn't like it. I am really glad I decided to give them a try. This is now the only brand I use for my face. My favorites are the Discoloration Serum and the Niacinamide Brightening Toner. It really helps keep my sensitive skin clear, my skin tone is more even and a lot less red now. I recommend them to everyone.
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).

Super affordable skincare! I am a fan of the hyaluronic acid serum and the eye serum. I also love the mineral sunscreen. It has no whitecast and is great for my sensitive skin. I do wish it had a higher SPF

The Niacinimide brigtening toner and hyaluronic acid serum are my holy grail and have been staples in my routine for over a year. It's gentle and fragrance-free, which is so hard to find these days. I don't feel any burn or pain after using the toner, and the serum is calming and easy to just soak into your skin.

The Good Molecules brand of hyaluronic acid was recommended by a store employee, and might I say, she was spot on. I had never tried this and had reservations. I can honestly say that there is a noticeable improvement in my skin tightness, smoothness and overall complexion. This brand was very affordable and I do recommend it.

I was hesitant at first because I have very sensitive and acne prone skin that has hyperpigmentation. LET ME TELL YOU! This stuff workers wonder, I use the discoloration correcting serum, the retinol cream and the face oil and it has cleared my skin up by 30%, the dark marks that I have under my chin from my monthly have cleared up. I feel so much more confident that I did 4 months ago. They have a life long customer here and the prices and fair compared to the results. Highly recommend !
