I have been using your green soap to remove dark spots on my face. it worked good for a min and then i started noticing little red pimples popping up and then they start truing dark leaving more dark spots on my face. what can I use to fix this problem.
- Asked by yoyo
- Official Answer By Good Molecules - Brand EngageThank you so much for your question! Feel free to also utilize the Discoloration Correction Serum along with sunscreen every single day. These products, along with the Brightening & Dark Spots Bar, will help out quite a bit. Darkness will only appear/reappear on the skin from sun exposure, so please ensure that your skin is protected at all times, as the Kojic Acid in the cleansing bar can at times cause sun sensitivity. Now, if irritation starts or redness and bumps continue, please discontinue use.Was this answer helpful to you

- Q
Is this product non-comedogenic?
- Asked by Hannah
- Official Answer By Good Molecules - Brand EngageHi! We definitely understand your concerns with the products' potential to clog pores. However, we’re hesitant about applying the non-comedogenic label to our products since there is no universal and agreed upon guideline. Comedogenic scales often vary depending on the source. When an ingredient is tested in a lab to determine the comedogenic capability, it is done in a rabbit's ear which is much more sensitive than human skin. Individual skin chemistry can determine the extent of an ingredient’s ability to clog pores, so it is highly variable between people. As such, the only way to be certain is to actually try out the product. The same ingredient when used in a different concentration or within a different formulation will vary as far as being comedogenic or not. I hope this information is helpful and please let me know if any other questions come up!Was this answer helpful to you

Keeps my melasma in check without irritation
Thrilled to see Good Molecules at Ulta! I first purchased the *Discoloration Correcting Serum* last year as part of a trio (which included the *Niacinamide Toner* and *Daily Brightening Serum*) to combat melasma as well as hyperpigmentation left by acne rosacea and eczema flares. I'd run out of a pr...

not for sensitive skin
After a lot of trial and error and money spent on quality skincare, I had finally gotten my sensitive skin to a point where it was staying soft, smooth, and relatively hydrated, and I was very pleased. I do have some melasma from intense sun exposure in the past, and it is the one skincare problem I...

did nothing and broke me out
i wanted this to work so bad. it didn't. i have post erythema redness from years of hormonal acne and this serum made zero difference. no fading, no calming, nothing. on top of that, it actually broke me out, which made the discoloration worse. i get that skincare is personal and what works for one person might not work for another, but for me this performed worse than other serums at the same price point. i know nothing will erase redness completely, but this didn't even move the needle. it's fairly priced if it works for you. it just didn't for me, so i won't be buying it again.
BUY IT NOW
I've done this for a month now, and LOOK AT THE RESULTS! GET IT. Ive tried lots of skin care and this takes the cake. Your skin will thank you 🥰
Hyperpigmentation
I have hyper pigmentation on my lip and it really fixed it like on my mustache area it put it more clear I would totally recommend this to anybody
Recommend
I bought this a few weeks ago to treat hyperpigmentation I was experiencing on my face due to past ezcema flares. My skin is very sensitive so I was a little hesitant. But, I've found this works well for my skin and I'm seeing an evening of my skintone! I use it alongside Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser, Good Molecules Hylaronic Acid, and Vanicream face moisturizer. I recommend as part of an overall routine.
it works
it definitely works, but you have to be patient. My dark spots faded in a few weeks or so.
