I escaped my teens and early adulthood with enviously flawless skin but then, my skin simply started badly misbehaving. For a few years, I experienced moderate cystic acne (it seemed more severe to me than my diagnosis indicated). I couldn't get the acne under control no matter what I tried and I tried it ALL. I even submitted myself to a series of painful laser treatments in an attempt to get it under control. The more medications and treatments I tried, the drier my skin became and the more I relied on lotions and moisturizers which only seemed to further exacerbate my underlying condition. The more acne and subsequent scarring I experienced, the more makeup products I used to cover and conceal. I finally figured out the culprit: silicones! Silicones were in absolutely everything I had been putting on my face for years; sheet masks, moisturizes, lotions, primers, foundation, powder, etc. It took some time but once I switched to a completely silicone-free skincare regime and makeup routine, including the Good Molecules Priming Moisturizer, I no longer experience cystic acne. The Good Molecules Priming Moisturizer has been working absolutely wonderfully for me. It's difficult to find a decent silicone-free moisturizer that isn't too heavy/rich in emollients for my slightly oily skin and the other silicone-free primers seemed so sticky and icky to me. This duo product is perfect for me.
I typically use moisturizer as the last step in my skincare routine in the am & pm. I always wait for my other products to dry and melt into the skin before moving onto the next product. I only use a serum, under eye cream, and a moisturizer. This has been the only moisturizer that has felt thick and never seems to dry or soak into the skin. When I do feel as though it's soaked in and I can start my day, it immediately begins to feel like a film is over my face and it becomes slimey. It is fragrance free and it hasn't irritated my skin, but there's definitely better out there for around this same price range. Wouldn't get again.

I decided to try this after using the ELF moisturizer for a couple years now. I love how lightweight this product is and feels really good on my skin without making it look greasy. I am curious to see how it does in the summer since I live in the south.

This is the best moisturizer. Doesn't make me feel greasy/product is too heavy and doesn't make me oilier throughout the day, like I've noticed with other moisturizers.

I received this item from the company to try and loved both the packaging (clear directions) and the formula. Very lightweight, absorbs nicely into the skin, easy to apply before makeup leaving a smooth and soft canvas

I have recently found this brand and am in loveeee. I hate lotions and moisturizers because of the feeling on my face but this moisturizer is great for me! It absorbs very quickly and is not super oily or sticky. I am able to use sunscreen after this product too and not have my face feel gross.

I bought this earlier this month I believe and I love it. It's a really good lightweight morning moisturizer. It says it can be used am & pm on the bottle but I believe it's worked better for my combo skin in the morning. I plan to try it as a primer soon and see what happens

I normally buy Milk primer but the price got me looking for an alternative. I tried this and I think it's better thank Milk! Super lightweight, moisturizing, and my makeup stays put. I recommend this 100%! And I didn't leave this review because I got it for free or a promo or something. I'm just a regular customer lookin g for a good product.

I swear, this moisturizer feels like I put nothing on my face. I need to put sooo much on to feel even slightly moisturized, even when I layer it on top of serums. This may work better for summer months, but in the dry winter, this is a no go.

This is the best primer. Every time I use it my makeup looks flawless. I don't like the way it feels on my skin on its own but with makeup…10/10

Maybe if you have oily skin this would good be a good moisturizer but for ny dry skin people it takes me 10 - 15 pumps of this to get even semi moisturized

I wanted to love this but it made my rosacea flare horribly and made my skin itch and sting.
Lizzie from Mansfield Ohio
I have rosacea and such sensitive skin and I absolutely love this moisturizer. I did have a short purge period with this but after that my skin looks plump and dewy

This is the first moisturizer I've tried that hasn't irritated my skin or given me texture/ breakouts.

I buy this for my daughter, she wasn't sure if she is going to liked, after trying 2 days she tell me she was glad there I buy this product for her, it doesn't have color, went you put on it combine with your own color, she doesn't wear makeup, this product is enough!

I'm so sad that this moisturizer didn't work out for me. I looooooove Good Molecules but this product felt like it clogged my pores and ended up breaking me out. I ended up tossing this product.

So I love this brand. The cleanser is my fav. So I decided to try the moisturizer. Now I feel it hydrates my skin really well BUT the smell of this product is awful. Says it's silicon free but almost smells like silicon or something. If you can get past the smell then you'll like this moisturizer.

I use this product as a primer. My skin is very dry so I do combine this with another moisturizer but it works great on my mature skin under a tinted moisturizer or foundation. I notice a difference when I forget to use it. It is soothing on my face.
Jorjor from Alabama
As an esthetician I am always trying new skin care products and I get excited when I can find a affordable moisturizer that isn't CeraVe or Cetaphil. This moisturizer in my opinion is great for all skin types and super lightweight. My sunscreen sits nicely on top of this moisturizer and my makeup looks flawless. Absolutely love this product!
Kaitlyn from Indiana
I cannot handle greasy or heavy feeling moisturizer and was so happy when my sister recommended this one! It soaks in quickly and feels very light on my skin.

ugh… i love you good molecules. well made with clean ingredients. used once and immediately had comments on my skin glowing and looking made up (i don't wear face makeup atm to clear up breakouts!) amazing results and i've tried every moisturizer up and down the block. just try it.
Paige from Fort Worth
Great for everyday use. I apply it before putting on my makeup and my skin feels so moisturized after. I like that it has a pump and also blurs my pores while hydrating my skin.
Ty from Clemson, SC
I already have drier skin, especially with acne. I do like this moisturizer but it's not as hydrating as I want it to be. I would definitely repurchase in the summer, but for winter time or when using retinol/chemical exfoliates I need more. Otherwise, it's creamy and look fresh on skin. Would love to see a dewier version of this!
Jen from Charlotte NC
Great everyday moisturizer!
