What's new in Good Molecule Skin Care line

*pr gifted*

Ever since my last post (here) , Good Molecules launched few amazing products that I will share with you today. 

If you not familiar with Good Molecules, they an affordable brand available only at Beautylish. 

I have 5 products that I will share with you, but on one there will be no review as it will battle another similar product in later posts. Stay tuned for that :)

Lets start with the newest product and that is Pineapple Exfoliating Powder - formulated with fruit enzymes, vitamin C and rice powder so soften, brighten and gently exfoliate skin. I believe the most popular rice enzyme powder is the one from Tatcha. I had sample of that years ago and I remember liking it. Another good rice enzyme powder I had in my routine was the one by SRB Cosmetics. That one was really gentle and I could use it on my daughter face. I went through the whole bottle fast and remember really really liking it. So as you can see rice enzymes powders are not new to me, and I happy to see one that is affordable!

"Encourage gentle exfoliation with this cleansing powder containing bromelain, a mixture of enzymes naturally found in pineapples, which help remove keratin proteins from the skin's surface to reveal brighter and fresher skin"

When you get this powder you need to be really careful as it comes in glass container. To use it pour some of the powder on your hand add few drops of water mix it and gently massage into the skin. 

I used this already 5 times or even more. I love these type of exfoliates and seriously the skin really feels smoother and brighter. If you don't like harsh scrubs, defoliants, try this one :)

Why It’s Special

• * Natural rich starch and silk powder gently buff away buildup to reveal more radiant skin without the irritation of normal scrubs
• * Calamine powder and allantoin help soothe and calm skin while you exfoliate
• * Enzyme-rich pineapple, kiwi, and papaya extracts gently loosen dead skin cells while 3-0 ethyl ascorbic acid supports a bright tone
• * Free of microbeads, nut shell powders, and alpha hydroxy acids for gentle exfoliation

Can be found only at Beautylish - $16

Another great product I want to mention is the Silicon Free Priming Moisturizer - formulated with shea butter, macadamia seed oil and plant delivered silicone alternative to deeply hydrate, smooth and nourish the skin. If you don't like silicone in your skin care or primers this is a good option for you. Its perfect for any skin type. Its a creamy very light and spreads nicely on the skin. It skins in with out leaving greasy residue. Its great for prep before the makeup application. I been using it for months now and hardly much is gone. You really don;t need much of it. I say one-two pumps should be enough. Once applied foundation went on really nice and even. My skin really felt hydrated and nourished. It is not a mattyfing primer whats so ever so if you are oily as me you will get the shine coming through in the middle of the day.

Nothing that blotting paper or mattyfing spray can't fix. 

Overall I really like it and as I said it was and still is a staple in my morning routine :)

Why It’s Special

• * Plant-based, naturally derived alternative to silicone helps smooth skin texture and plump up fine lines with a lightweight, breathable feel
• * Macadamia seed oil nourishes and promotes skin cell regeneration while shea butter helps soothe and heal skin with antioxidant vitamin E
• * Essential fatty acids from olive oil help protect and strengthen the skin’s barrier function while delivering moisture deep within the skin

Again it can be found on Beautylish - $14

Pure Cold Pressed Rosehip Seed Oil - antioxidant rich facial oil that delivers natural vitamin A and helps restore skin elasticity. This oil is sourced from the seeds of wild roses most common in the southern Andes in Chile. Guys I don;t know if I ever mention to you my fear of oils now is the time. As an oily skin person I was scared to put more oils on my face thinking it will be more oily. But I was so wrong. If you have an oily skin you should add more oils! And so I did. Not only this oil but many more others before.

What i like about this little guys is that that it don't clog pores. It feels skin nice and dewy and nourish. I like it and I been using it in the past few months. I add few drops to my moisturizer or just few drops straight to my skin. 

Why It’s Special

• * Rosehip seed oil is a natural source of vitamin C, an antioxidant known to target the visible signs of aging and sun damage
• * Provitamin A, a natural derivative of retinol, gently promotes cellular regeneration for smooth, even-looking skin
• * Essential fatty acids help promote elasticity, support a healthy lipid barrier, and reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL)
• * Sourced sustainably with fair-trade practices from Chile

For $10 you can't go wrong :)

And finally we are going to check two newer products- Cleanse Bar and Caffeine Eye Patches. 

If you are here to read about the Caffeine Eye Patches, sorry but come back later. I have a box of Derma'e eye patches and I want to feature both in next post :) But let me quickly tell you that they are formulated to firm, energize and hydrate tired eyes. 

Clarify and Cleanse Bar- this is a soap free bar formulated with white willow bark extract, kaolin, clay and cacao powder to help maintain a clear complexion for acne prone skin. this is a product made for me and my daughter. She is 11 and started to get break outs. I actually had her use it few times already. She soaps her face and uses a cleansing brush ( regular not sonic brush or anything like that) and cleanse her face. Its really gentle and non stripping. 

Why It’s Special

• * Salicylic acid and tea tree oil help to clarify and prevent blemishes with antiseptic and astringent powers
• * Kaolin clay balances excess sebum while antioxidant-rich cocoa powder soothes inflammation and redness
• * Rosehip and grapeseed oils nourish and maintain a healthy moisture balance while promoting elasticity
• * Formulated without soap or harsh cleansing agents and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive

I really like that she seems to like it. The only problem she have is that this is a bar form and she more used to just pumping or squeezing cleansers. Once she wet bar some times it tent to slip form her hands and ends up on the floor. 

So there you go! what do you think? what caught your eye? 

Affordable Skin Care Routine with Good Molecules

*pr sample*

Who doesn't love an affordable and efficient skin care? I know I do. 

So in today's post I will talk to you about an amazing and affordable products from Good Molecules.

Good Molecules is a Beautylish exclusive skin care brand. So right now they are sold over there.The products prices range form $6-$15. Like what?!? The effective ingredients act to target skin concerns like: acne,redness, wrinkles, hyper-pigmentation and aging.

 Good Molecules is often compared to The Ordinanary, coz of the products pricing. I like that we have brands like that.We don't have to spend tones of money on high end products just to make our skin look better. Now let's jump into the review I have for you on 4 products that were kindly sent to me by GM team :)

Lets start with my favorite Niacinamide Brightening Toner - its the newest product by the brand. I don't think I lunched that long ago. I love toners,lets start there.But to find a good toner is not easy. There is few in my top 5 that i absolutely love and this one is in there as well. Toner retails at $14 and it comes in a glass bottle. I don't believe that I own a toner in a glass bottle, most of them are in plastic. I been using it daily for past two weeks and I already see difference in my skin. The biggest difference i see in my pores. But overall my skin feels and looks much brighter and less dull and tired. Plus I feel like it somehow helped with my acne problem. I have not gotten much of a break out since I added it into my routine.So what ever toner claims it does. And like I said I am going easy on 3 week of using it daily. Toner is so gentle that can be used twice a day and my skin really response good to it. In my PM routine I apply after cleansing: on cotton pad to take off the leftover residue and then again I add few drops to my palms and massage into my skin and then follow up with rest of my products. I think that its worth trying. Aside from great ingredients mentioned below,toner does not contain fragrance or alcohol.

Ingredients:

• Target uneven skin tone, dullness, and visible pores and strengthen your skin’s barrier function with niacinamide (vitamin B3)
• Naturally derived arbutin improves the look of hyperpigmentation while licorice root extract soothes inflammation and inhibits excess melanin production
• A stable form of vitamin C boosts skin’s ability to defend itself against free radical damage and promotes collagen production

 Price $14 and get it here.

Second product I been liking is the Overnight Exfoliating Treatment- I been seeing many mixed reviews on this products. Some love it,some hate it. I used it 4 times in past two weeks and I really like it. I mean overnight exfoliating peel, how exciting this sound. What is it exactly you might ask, well its a overnight treatment to help to resurface and renew your skin. Its a blend of  10% AHA/BHA ( glycolic acid (in an 8.05% concentration), lactic acid (in a 1.035% concentration) and salicylic acid (in a 0.1% concentration). It supposed to smooth away dead skin cells, unclogged and reduce appearance of pores and give you a radiant looking skin. But does it? I say this is one of the milder AHA/BHA peels I used. Since you putting it overnight and not just for few minutes. I have not notice any irritation or dryness (did I mention that it contains two alcohols?), but never the less my skin reacted good to it. After 4 times of using it I did notice my pores becoming smaller. Maybe coz I also been using the toner? Probably. But as longest your skin don't react negatively to it,its a really good treatment to have in your routine.
Plus at $6 you can't go wrong. Grab it here.

Next we have an oil that I never heard before - Squalane Oil - and apparently it is really good for your skin. Who knew! And let me tell ya this is a life changer and I will for sure be repurchasing it.
Squalane Oil is suitable for all skin types.

Benefits:
* Squalane is an excellent moisturizer and leaves skin hydrated, plump and soft. The texture is super-light and non-greasy, and it sinks into the skin fast
* Squalane is non-irritating, making it great for people with sensitive skin conditions. It's also completely odorless and colorless
* Squalane can help regulate excess oil production. That makes it a better choice than jojoba, which also has this property, but is a less stable monounsaturated fat
* Squalane can speed healing of cracked or chapped skin, and soothes eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis
* Squalane is naturally antibacterial (just like coconut oil)
* Squalane helps protect your skin from the free radicals that can cause age spots and premature aging. It may even help fade dark pigment over time

 Squalane oil is very similar to skins natural oils. It absorbs quickly and it wot leave your skin greasy.The consistency is not thick or liquid-y.Its somewhere in the middle. The only down size of it is that the bottle is so tiny. I been using it am and pm routine and I am really pleased with it. This small bottle retains for $8 but its totally worth it. You can get it here

Last products that was sent to me is Hyaluronic Acid Serum  - I think at this point everyone have at least one HA serum in their stash. I know I have or had few. It is a great addition to my am and pm routine. It is very nice to use,no problem when I wore under the makeup.  This serum is quite good and I at $6 it is worth to add into your routine. Hyaluronic acid is incredibly gentle and phenomenally helpful for all skin types, even the most sensitive, redness-prone skin. In fact, its positive influence on skin’s surface is due in part to its natural calming benefit, which means it is also suitable for breakout-prone skin. Each of the following fragrance-free formulas contain redness-reducing, hydrating, and antioxidant ingredients that make skin smooth and soft, and they’re gentle enough even for those with eczema-prone and rosacea-prone skin.
 Hyaluronic acid supplements can help your skin look and feel more supple and plump.
As of now HA is a staple in so many routines.
