Q: Can this be used along with Retinol or tre trentinoin? Or should it be used on night when not using?
submitted by AC - 8 months ago
A: Hi there! Our Discoloration Correcting Serum can be used safely with a retinoid/retinol such as Tretinoin. Our serum is gentle enough to be combined in the same routine. However, if you are utilizing a doctor prescribed Tretinoin, please check in with your physician to make sure that this fits into your current treatment regimen.

Q: If I use this with tretinoin, would I apply the serum before or after the tretinoin cream?

Q: Is this before the brightening toner or after ?
submitted by Mary - 16 days ago
A: To best address your question, all serums should actually be applied after your toner and before your moisturizer. The steps to skincare should be in this order... Cleanser, Toner, Serum, Treatment, Moisturizer, and Sunscreen (in the morning). I hope that this information is helpful.

Q: will this help with strawberry legs
submitted by vee - 1 month ago
A: Thank you so much for your question! The Discoloration Correcting Serum would actually not be the best option for strawberry skin on the legs or body. This serum is formulated to treat dark spots and hyperpigmentation on the face. I believe that the best option for your concern would be the Discoloration Correcting Body Treatment. This lightweight lotion is formulated with an advanced form of tranexamic acid and niacinamide to help with any dark marks and also contains salicylic acid to exfoliate dead skin cells, and help smooth the skin's surface.

Q: Will this be good for redness on face?
submitted by Cj - 2 months ago
A: This is a great question! The Discoloration Correcting Serum actually targets dark marks and hyperpigmentation. For redness, we would recommend using the Niacinamide Serum instead.

Q: What age group do you recommend foe this product? Is it sage for teens?
submitted by RB - 4 months ago
A: Thanks for checking in with this great question! The Good Molecules Discoloration Correcting Serum is considered generally safe for teens age 13-14 and up and can be used on all skin types. However, it is a good idea to perform a patch test before using any tranexamic acid product on your face, especially if you have sensitive skin.
submitted byGood Molecules Team - 4 months agoBrand expert
Q: Should this be used on the dark spots only or over my entire face evenly ?
submitted by AJ - 4 months ago
A: This is actually such a great question! When applying the Discoloration Correcting Serum, you are welcome to apply it all over the face. The serum is formulated with an advanced form of tranexamic acid that will help improve the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation. While the 4% niacinamide in the formula with help to brighten and even out the skin tone.

Q: could this possibly fade discolored spots from using silver jewelry (argyria)?
submitted by audie - 4 months ago
A: Apologies, as there is actually no cure for Argyria, as this is a permanent condition caused by the accumulation of silver in the body. It is best to avoid exposure to any silver.

Q: Can this product, or another in your line,help with HYPOpigmentation scars? I have so e scars in my face that resemble vitiligo patches on my usually light porcelain base.
submitted by Freckles in St Louis - 5 months ago
A: This is a really good question! With Hypopigmentation, it is a little bit more difficult to treat. Topical or over-the-counter products unfortunately will not help treat the issue at hand. A dermatologist will help steer you in the correct direction and can provide a bit more insight as to the cause, issue, and possible treatment for this condition. Most Hypopigmentation is not really reversible, but there are procedures that may help in some cases. I hope that this information is helpful and provides a bit more clarity.

I bought this product solely based on the reviews. And everyone who says this helps with sun damage is absolutely right! I recently had a laser procedure done because I wanted to get rid of my facial hairs all my hairs had disappeared. But after a while I noticed that my skin became very sensitive to sunlight, and I developed really bad sun spots on the areas on the face where the laser touched. I was so devastated. But after using this serum for about two weeks all sun damage is fading quickly! I was worried about the quantity but this is more than enough serum. I have only used about a quarter of the bottle.
It really works - and fast

For the price I was shocked. But I saw it on Instagram and good reviews, I decided to try it. I have hyperpigmentation, freckles, and acne scars. It wiped the hyperpigmentation, and acne scars away within 1 week! The freckles are still there - that's OK. My face was very red, scared, and very discolored. I paid 150 for It cosmetics, but not anymore! Love this stuff, I will buy the rest of the set. I saw promoters say it works better if you use hyaluronic acid, discoloration, and the niacinamide together.
So far, so good.

After many years of being in the sun too much and having acne scars, I’ve tried many products. This is the first one that I’m actually seeing results with. No breakouts, lighter spots and just over a week in.
It's a no for me.

I’ve tried this twice now instead of a Vitamin C serum I usually use and all my dark spots have come back. That tells me if’s not doing what it says it does and I won’t be purchasing again.
No improvement

One bottle used, and 70 days later my skin is exactly the same. Unfortunately there was no improvement, what’s so ever with this product. The plus is that it’s affordable, but it does nothing. However, everyone’s skin is different so it may work on others. Skin care sometimes is about trial and error, and this one just wasn’t a good fit!
Love this for texture and skintags

Been using it for over 4 months. I can feel this product making my skin smoother and slowly dried off the small skintags on my eyelids and got rid of 80 percent of my small skintags on my neck. Leaves skin smooth
Great! But ance alert!

I do not have acne prone skin. I rarely have a pimple and when I do, it’s usually a black head but wow, after using this product after only a couple of days, I actually had a pimple. Like a big soft pimple that hurts when you touch it. The next day another one popped up. I am not used to seeing this on my face so I’m a little taken back. The product does make your skin look nice but you get acne… I may try as a spot treatment for only the hyperpigmentation instead of putting it on my entire face

Wanted to like it for the dark spot recommendations I’ve seen on social media but started to experience acne on day 2 of use. Decided to stop on day 4 because that was the only thing that I had changed in my routine so I knew the acne was coming from this serum. And I’m still dealing with acne 2 weeks later. Very frustrating.
Would purchase again and again

I am shocked at how quickly I noticed results with this. I recently started a tretinoin routine and have entered the purge phase. This has reduced the redness of my breakouts after just the first use. Ive noticed significant improvements with continued use. The value of this product is amazing- I’ve recommended it to several friends already.

I was scared when I seen others talking about it broke them out but I took a chance and glad I did. This is now part of my morning routine and my dark spots have faded and my face looks clear. I don’t usually get acne like that and occasionally get a pimple here and there but I had plenty dark spots and this is like magic in a bottle. I also like how they show you on the side of box any alterations to the formula based on customer feedback. This is worth the $12 for sure.
