I really wanted to like this product because of the ingredients but it’s a pass for me. I have sensitive skin and unfortunately it makes my face burn.

not safe for acne prone skin at all... used for 30 days, noticed 0 difference in any spots (fair skin with dark spots, melasma, and light-ish freckles) besides this stuff making my skin break out so badly, that I could still probably get another few days out of this but it's going to the trash because I can not handle continuing to wake up to 2-3 new pimples every day. this was the only new addition to my skincare so I know this is causing the breakouts. really sad, I was hoping this product would be the one! I also couldn't tell but I feel like this made my spots worse/gave me new ones even with avoiding the sun (not outside for more than 20 minutes a day and it is usually just driving to work in the morning and home once the sun is down anyways) and using spf daily.
I’ve been thoroughly enjoying the Molecular Discovery Set from Mother Science. After consistent use, I’ve noticed a noticeable improvement in my dark spots. They appear lighter and more even, particularly around areas with lingering pigmentation. Additionally, my skin feels significantly more hydrated. It has a soft, plump appearance without feeling heavy or greasy, making it ideal for everyday use. The texture of my skin has also improved, resulting in a smoother and more refined overall look. One of my favorite aspects of this set is its gentle nature. I didn’t experience any irritation, and it seamlessly integrates with my existing skincare routine. It’s an excellent choice for those seeking an effective product that prioritizes skin care.
This duo is destined to address dark spots and improve the skins natural barrier with the antioxidant, malassesin. The serum and cream are recommended to be used twice daily, both AM and PM. The serum has a lightly creamy texture that absorbs quickly. I also noticed a slight grittiness to the texture that felt a bit strange to me and seemed to be more noticeable while I rubbed the serum in. The serum itself was pretty effective at minimizing dark spots but I did notice some red bumps from irritation around the corners of my eyes that could be related to the texture. The cream is nice and thick with adequate hydration for PM use. I liked that it was extra hydrating without feeling oily.
I’ve been using this Molecular Discovery Set for a few weeks now, and the results on my skin have been noticeably amazing. My skin feels smoother, softer, and more radiant. I also noticed a visible improvement in my dark spots. My skin looks brighter and even. This is a great skin investment. The improvement doesn’t happen overnight but with regular use, it has promising effects. Overall, it’s made my skin look healthier, smoother, and glowy.
The was a good set. The moisturizer was hydrating. The serum helped with dark spots. I liked the size of the product and it felt like a good value. I would recommend trying this brand and seeing if you like it.
This Molecular Discovery Dark Spot Brightening and Barrier Repair Set has been game changer for me! It has fade away dark spot so fast! I’m the way it feels on my skin is amazing. It’s so light weight!
I’ve been using this set consistently and I’m honestly impressed. The serum is lightweight and absorbs quickly, while the moisturizer feels nourishing without being heavy. My skin looks brighter and more even, and some dark spots have started to fade. I also noticed my skin barrier feels stronger and less sensitive. It’s gentle enough for daily use and works well for all skin types. Definitely a great duo if you’re looking to target hyperpigmentation and improve overall skin texture!
Love this set - my favorite products. The serum is gentle yet very effective on dark spots and texture. Love following up with the moisturizer to add in hydration and replenish my skin. This duo works great, great formulas.
Visible brightening and stronger skin barrier in 2 weeks I used this duo consistently AM and PM for two weeks and saw a noticeable improvement in my skin. Tone looks more even, dark spots appear lighter, and overall complexion is brighter. The serum is lightweight and absorbs quickly, while the moisturizer locks in hydration without feeling heavy. My skin feels smoother, calmer, and more resilient. I also appreciate that it’s fragrance-free and suitable for daily use. A great option if you want both brightening and barrier repair in one simple routine.
