Most Helpful Positive Review Good formula bad bottle Maybe it's just mine bc I don't see other complaints in the comments… but this bottle sucks! The dropper is horrible too.
First, the squeezer rubber on top is so slippery & shiny, that's hard to grip and squeeze. Especially if i have any lotion or product on my fingers - they slide off easy ..
Next, the dropper doesn't pull up enough product. I have to squeeze and drop multiple times just to get a tiny amount of serum to suck up. Sure you don't need a lot but it's not satisfactory..
and finally, the glass dropper is too big for the bottle - or the bottle opening is too narrow for the dropper. It barely fits through the hole in both directions. Whatever way you want look at it.. it's annoying that i have to "finangle" & pull SO hard to get the nozzle out. Then, I have to shove and force the glass dropper back into the bottle when I'm done. It's just all way to difficult than it needs to be.
After all that I don't even care about how good the product inside is.
Most Helpful Critical Review not for sensitive skin Used this in the AM along with the discoloration correction serum in the PM, and then tried each separately. This caused my sensitive skin to breakout and did nothing to brighten or improve my skin tone at all. I'd be careful using this if you have sensitive skin like me. I stopped right away but now have to try and clear up my problematic skin, which was smooth and clear with no blemishes before I started using this.

I do believe it helps moisturize my skin, but the "brightening" it advertises is just a super fine gold glitter. I don't wear makeup, so the glitter looks out of place on me.
I love it 5
JessG from Knoxville
My routine has consisted of the ordinary HA serum on a wet face, w moisturizer on top. When I don't use, I can feel a huge dif. I saw this has HA & a few other ingredients. I didn't buy for the purpose of lightening my skin... but I love how this serum feels & layers under skincare. Not sure about a brightening effect- my vitamin c serum does better.. But I did have a fresh hyperpigmentation mark & after 2 uses it's nearly gone, so it did work for me. For this price, I love it. The dropper kinda sucks as others mentioned.
Dry skin? You need this 4
Brooke from Alabama
After the second application.. I noticed how better my skin was! Would recommend!
Amazing 5
Ari from Boston
I usually buy a $150+ ace ferulic acid serum and this works the same. It's hydrating and brightening.
Love this stuff!! 5
Cyn from La Mirada, CA
I started using this 4 days ago and I notice my skin looks brighter already! Makes my skin look like an even tone, I will definitely be re-purchasing this again!!
Noticeable results in just 2 nights of use! 5
MP from Colorado
45 years young and picked this up on a whim with the Good Molecules "Wake Me Up" eye gel as the quantity for the inexpensive price intrigued me. From reading the reviews, this serum is hit and miss. I have somewhat sensitive skin that is always changing with the Colorado bipolar weather so I decided a nightly application to start would be best. I've added this to my nightly skin routine by applying the Brightening Serum just after a good toning spritz followed by a skin oil then face cream.
Upon waking up in the morning, my skin looks brighter, more even with pores looking smaller and my fine lines are diminishing.
I'm truly elated with the results with this inexpensive miracle in a bottle! TY
My face definitely likes this product!! 5

It's going great 4
Vale from Reno,NV
I barely bought this serum but I can tell a bit of difference for before, my skin feels brighter then it used too but I still have a lot of time to see progress so I will be back in a month!
Looking forward to my 2nd bottle! 5
angela from California
I have been using this product for 2 months now, and my cystic acne scars, dullness, and even my pores look so much better. I am noticing that certain parts of my skin have been soaking it in quicker than others currently. I massage it into my skin with clean hands until the product has absorbed into my skin and wait around 5 mins before moving into the next step in my routine. Overall I'm in love with this product
Honest Review 4
Deanna from Texas
Guys, there is not one product that will be safe for all skin types. I have incredibly sensitive skin that gets irritated quickly. Too quickly. It sucks. But this is a great product for me because my skin somehow loves the licorice root extract. So it was perfectly fine for me. Was it the best serum I've ever tried? Nope. But it was not the worst.
I've been using it for a couple months now and I can see a slight difference in brightness but I can't attribute that to the serum because I also started using night cream and sheet masks. But for the price and simple ingredients list, I will keep buying.

Gave me a rash on my cheeks with less than a week of use. Will be discontinuing use.
Sensitive Skin Beauties CAUTION 1
Sensitive Skin Gal from Tennessee
I should've listen to the other reviews in regards to sensitive skin and breaking out. I have sensitive skin but I haven't had breakouts in ages and as soon as I used this product BOOM the worse break out (all over my face) I've had in over a year. I wanted to like it because it felt nice on my skin but of course the breaking out ruined this product for me. Now I have to fix my skin again:(
If you don't have sensitive/ acne prone skin I say give it a try it's very lovely on the skin but if you do DO NOT TRY IT or proceed with caution !!!
Hydrating - great for dry, dehydrated skin! 5
Kara from San Francisco
I love how this brightening serum is hydrating with hyaluronic acid as I have dry, dehydrated skin. My skin is sensitive to niacinamide sometimes so I find this serum effective for me.
Softening and Hydrating 5
C from Maryland
Excellent affordable serum with a lovely dewy look after application. I have noticed more hydrated and plump skin after only a few days of use. Applied onto damp skin and followed up with snail mucin and a high spf moisturizer , it can't be beat. I will be repurchasing!
I wanted to like it 1
Sandy with melanin skin 👧🏾🌱 from Florida
This has to be the worse serum I put on my melanin skin 😒 I wanted to like it so bad since everyone been hyping good Molecules products. I have sensitive, acne prone, and dry skin.
This product irritated my skin, aggravated my acne and made them worse + new breakouts, would hurt to touch my face, made my face darker, & my hyperpigmentation. Yes I wear sunscreen faithfully. I also didn't like the sticky feeling on my face.

Nothing special 4
mariah from USA
Feels nice, does make my skin kinda oily. I have combination skin, but in the morning I am really dry. I put this on immediately after cleaning and then I apply moisturizer. Maybe it's my fault but yeah, this isn't anything revolutionary. Still love the brand though and the price is 1,000000% right.
if you're a woc w/ hyperpigmentation, this is for you! 5
jeanie from new jersey
i use this product both morning and night! I apply it with my rose quartz roller. it's very lightweight, does not leave stickiness on my face, and feels so refreshing. refrigerate for the best results!
This made such a difference! 5
Natalie H from Olathe, KS
I use this serum every day before my moisturizer (in the mornings), and have noticed a huge difference in the texture and coloration of my skin. It's corrected acne scars, and I have gotten less breakouts!
Good for hyperpigmentation 4
Kiera from Arizona
I use this to help with hyperpigmentation. This works great but is not a quick fix. Works best when used consistently in your routine. I have been using for a 2 months and seeing great improvement in my PIH.

cutesmartkind from Houston, TX
I've been using this product for months and can see a slight difference- I never expect miracles will all the years of neglect, prior. I will continue to use this awesome product bc it feels so good on -and the amazing price is a bonus!! I love the way it goes on & feels, too!
This serum meets what it promises! 5
