I have been suffering from a hormone imbalance and it has caused hormonal acne all over my cheeks and chin. Im 26 years old and it was humiliating.

Not good for sensitive, acne prone skin
I got this mandelic acid serum after doing research on AHA's that are good for acne prone sensitive skin because mandelic acid is supposed to be more gentle. Unfortunately it was not. My skin immediately burned when i put it on and the next day I had huge cystic pimples all over me. It also feels ex...

Does the trick
I have very sensitive, dry, acne prone skin and this has helped me a lot. Most exfoliaters have been too harsh, and honestly this is too much to use as directed, but I've had the best luck with applying for 5-10 minutes once or twice a week and then washing it off. Only helps a bit with dark spots, but is absolutely the best way to get rid of dead skin and keep clear pores.
My Skin Looks Amazing
I was needing something that could help with the upkeep of my skin radiancy/diminish dark spots. Didnt want to pay for a full-use exfoliator. Based on reviews and reddit I ordered this and have never been happier. Consistency is lovely, as well as the bottle design and the "suction" dropper, people are complaining about the smell but like grow up? Its not that mad. Even though its recommended for PM use I do use it in the day as well (a total of 3 times a week)(AM/PM use) Use sunscreen with this as your skin will be sensitive!
Too strong for me
Tried twice several weeks apart. Both times my skin reacted negatively. Burned and irritated my skin barrier
Magic in a bottle
This seriously is the only thing ive found that keeps breakouts at bay. If i dont use it for even a few days im guaranteed a pimple. If youve tried everything for your skin and are at a last resort seriously, try this. Good molecules in general has been a game changer for my skin!! Cant recommend this enough.
Liquid gold
I have been suffering from a hormone imbalance and it has caused hormonal acne all over my cheeks and chin. Im 26 years old and it was humiliating. I felt like a teenage girl going through puberty again. After seeing a girl review this on tiktok, I decided to give it a try. I used it for 3 nights in a row, following the instructions on the bottle. This and moisturizer was all I used. 3 days later, my acne is cleared. I do still have spots on my face from where the acne was, but they are no longer inflamed and it is easy to cover up with a little color correction and concealer. Good Molecules is a wonderful brand and their products actually work. I will be purchasing other products from this brand and recommending to all of my friends. Im so grateful.
