Good Molecules Skincare Review: Toner, Serums, Moisturizer

“Founded by a team of beauty industry veterans, Good Molecules creates skincare solutions with best-in-class ingredients, backed by research and formulated for effectiveness. The idea behind Good Molecules is simple: skincare that works at a fair price”. Now this is a philosophy I can definitely stand behind. Good Molecules was kind enough to send me some of their bestselling products that have been curated to my specific skin needs: improving hyperpigmentation while providing ample hydration. I’ve tested these goodies for over a month, so today I wanted to share with you my final review!

Good Molecules Niacinamide Brightening Toner – Retail Price $14 – Buy here

Promote bright, even skin and less visible pores with this brightening toner that’s gentle enough for daily use (getgoodmolecules.com). This toner has a very slight viscosity, though it is still very much watery and runny. The formula is ultra gentle and does not sting or cause any irritation. As a part of my nighttime skincare routine, I saturate a cotton pad with this toner and apply all over after my double cleansing method. I can see it removing residual impurities on the cotton pad. It instantly cleanses and balances my skin to prepare for my essences and serums. However, perhaps I have not used it long enough to see an obvious brightening effect. If you are looking for an affordable gentle toner that will cleanse and balance your skin, you will enjoy this. This is not a bad toner, by any means. However, I have others in my arsenal that I love just a smidge more. Overall rating: 7/10 stars. Buy here.

Good Molecules Daily Brightening Serum – Retail Price $9 – Buy here

Promote a bright, even skin tone with this gentle brightening serum that’s perfect for everyday use (getgoodmolecules.com).This serum has a viscous, bouncy consistency that melts easily into the skin and absorbs quickly without any greasiness. It actually feels rather cooling and calming over the skin. I’ve incorporated this into both my morning and nighttime skincare routine and while it has a very mild overall brightening effect, I have to remark how gentle this serum is. I can see this benefiting even the most sensitive skin types as it causes zero stinging or irritation.If you have very sensitive skin or you’re slowly venturing into brightening products, this is a wonderful starter serum. Because I have built up a tolerance to Vitamin C serums, I prefer a stronger concentration for quicker, more dramatic results. Overall rating: 7/10 stars. Buy here.

Good Molecules Silicone Free Priming Moisturizer – Retail Price $14 – Buy here

Smooth, hydrate, and prep your skin for makeup with this lightweight daily moisturizer formulated with a natural silicone alternative (getgoodmolecules.com).First off, I love the sleek packaging with a handy pump, which distributes just the right amount of product every single time. I have very dry skin and I was pleasantly impressed that one pump provides ample hydration.The texture is creamy, almost buttery to the touch without being overly greasy or heavy. Once you work the cream into the skin, it absorbs quickly and leaves a very natural, healthy finish.I very much appreciate that this does not have the typical feel of a silicone based primer. However, it adds moisture while simultaneously creating a beautiful base for makeup. The name “priming moisturizer” describes it perfectly, as it combines 2 products into a one easy step. This is my absolute favorite, standout product of the bunch and I can’t recommend it enough. I LOVE this! Overall rating: 10/10 stars. Buy here.

Good Molecules Hyaluronic Acid Serum – Retail Price $6 – Buy here

A lightweight hyaluronic acid serum that draws moisture into the skin for deep hydration (getgoodmolecules.com). The texture and consistency of this serum is very similar to the Brightening Serum. I likely could not distinguish between the two in a blind test. This product 100% delivers in its claims to draw moisture into the skin. When my skin is feeling particularly parched, I integrate this unscented serum into my routine after either my Vitamin C or Retinol, depending on the time of the day. It instantly cools, soothes, and hydrates leaving my skin feeling extra plump and juicccay. It’s lightweight, absorbs quickly, and non greasy. I have zero complaints, this is fantastic! Overall rating: 10/10 stars. Buy here.Thank you again to Good Molecules for the opportunity to try these beautiful products!Which of these products are calling your name?
