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.

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 !

I really like every product I've used from Good Molecules! They are very comparable to The Ordinary, which I LOVE, so it's great to find another skincare brand that is very similar! Their products are affordable, and their packaging is adorable. The products work super well and my sensitive skin and I'm excited to try out more of their products!

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!
