"They're extremely affordable brand. They have a lot of different nice options for exfoliants and they also have a lot of different great brightening products. This is just a nice lightweight serum. It's not fussy, it's not thick. When I'm kind of feeling tired at the end of the day and I just want to put on my moisturizer and go, this is a nice one because it dries super quick. Their eye creams are pretty nice. I would love to see some nice more moisturizer options from them. They really have one main lightweight moisturizer, so I'd love to see more from them in terms of different moisturizing options, maybe different for oily skin or dry skin things like that, and maybe some new sunscreens."

"This kind of 'nothing to hide' from Good Molecules or this transparency - it's very important to us as consumers."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
