What is Good Molecules Lightweight Daily Moisturizer?
This is the moisturizer I use between my morning treatment and sunscreen. Good Molecules describes the product as a moisturizer designed to hydrate, smooth, and prepare skin for makeup.
My review is about using it in my skincare routine. I am not reviewing its performance underneath foundation or claiming that it works the same way with every makeup product.
Where it fits in my morning routine
I apply this moisturizer after my azelaic acid treatment and before sunscreen. That is where it has fit into my mornings over the last three months.
You can see the whole order in my morning and night skincare routine. That post shows the bigger picture instead of treating every product as a separate routine.
Does it feel sticky or greasy?
No, this moisturizer does not feel sticky or greasy on my skin. That is one of the most useful details I can give someone deciding whether to look into it.
A product can leave a glow without giving me a greasy feeling. With this moisturizer, I enjoy the appearance of that glow while still liking how my skin feels.
How it makes my skin feel
My skin feels more hydrated when I use it. Along with the finish, that is the main benefit I have noticed in my own routine.
The glow I notice
This moisturizer gives my skin a nice glow. That is part of what I enjoy about how it looks within my morning routine.
How it layers with my other skincare
It layers well with my other products. In my mornings, that means it fits after azelaic acid and before sunscreen.
My experience is with my own combination, rather than a test of every serum, treatment, or sunscreen. Different formulas and application habits may give different results.
If layering is something you are working through, my post on why sunscreen pills under skincare covers some things to consider.
Is there anything I dislike?
There is nothing I really dislike about this moisturizer so far. After about three months, I’m happy with the hydrated feeling, the glow, and how it fits into my routine.
