The Best American Short StoriesIn his introduction to this one hundredth volume of the beloved Best American Short Stories, guest editor T. C. Boyle writes, "The Model T gave way to the Model A and to the Ferrari and the Prius . . . modernism to postmodernism and post postmodernism. We advance. We progress. We move on. But we are part of a tradition." Boyle's choices of stories reflect a vibrant range of characters, from a numb wife who feels alive only in the presence of violence
In his introduction to this one hundredth volume of the beloved Best American Short Stories, guest editor T. C. Boyle writes, "The Model T gave way to the Model A and to the Ferrari and the Prius . . . modernism to postmodernism and post-postmodernism. We advance. We progress. We move on. But we are part of a tradition." Boyle's choices of stories reflect a vibrant range of characters, from a numb wife who feels alive only in the presence of violence to a new widower coming to terms with his sudden freedom, from a missing child to a champion speedboat racer. These stories will grab hold and surprise, which according to Boyle is "what the best fiction offers, and there was no shortage of such in this year's selections." Mulling over the question of character likability, series editor Heidi Pitlor asks, "Did I like these characters? I very much liked reading their stories, as did T. C. Boyle." Here are characters who "are living, breathing people who screw up terribly and want and need and think uneasy thoughts." T. C. BOYLE, guest editor, has published fifteen novels and ten collections of short stories. He won the PEN/Faulkner Award in 1988 for his novel World's End and the Prix M dicis tranger for The Tortilla Curtain in 1995, as well as the 2014 Henry David Thoreau Prize for excellence in nature writing. His most recent book is the novel The Harder They Come. HEIDI PITLOR, series editor, is a former senior editor at Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. She is the author of the novels The Birthdays and The Daylight Marriage.Binding Type: Paperback

good product
Effectiveness:
This serum focuses on brightening, uneven tone, and early signs of aging using two stabilized forms of vitamin C plus supportive antioxidants. With consistent use, it can help improve overall radiance and reduce the look of dark spots gradually rather than delivering fast, dramatic fading.
Texture & Application:
Lightweight, silky, and smooth. It spreads easily and absorbs quickly without feeling greasy or heavy. The airless pump helps keep the formula stable and prevents oxidation, which is important for vitamin C products.
Key Ingredients Performance:
Vitamin C (two stabilized forms) supports brightness and antioxidant protection
Kojic acid ester helps even skin tone over time
Oryzanol (rice bran antioxidant) helps enhance brightening effects and supports skin defense
Overall, it’s a gentler vitamin C approach compared to high-strength L-ascorbic acid serums, making it more suitable for sensitive or beginner users.
Skin Feel / Finish:
Leaves a soft, natural finish with no sticky residue. It layers well under moisturizer and sunscreen and doesn’t pill when used correctly. Suitable for daily AM or PM use.
Durability of Results:
Improvements are gradual—typically noticeable after several weeks of consistent use. Best results come with daily sunscreen use since vitamin C works synergistically with UV protection.
Value:
Very strong value for a budget-friendly serum. It delivers multiple brightening ingredients at a low price point, making it accessible for everyday skincare routines.
Overall:
A gentle, affordable vitamin C serum that prioritizes steady brightening, antioxidant support, and skin tone improvement over high-intensity results. Best for beginners, sensitive skin, or anyone wanting a simple daily glow-boosting step.

Amazing Vitamin C at an Affordable Price!
This Vitamin C serum from Good Molecules is honestly one of the best I’ve tried! The texture feels so smooth and lightweight on the skin, it absorbs quickly and leaves my face feeling hydrated without being sticky. It’s super effective for fading acne scars and dark spots, and I always notice extra brightness and glow the next morning after using it.
What makes it even better is how affordable it is compared to other Vitamin C serums—such great quality for the price! Plus, the bottle lasts a long time since just two pumps are enough for the entire face. Gentle scent, hydrating, effective, and budget-friendly… I couldn’t recommend it more

Fantastic Fragrance Free Vitamin C
Really nice Vitamin C product. It goes on nicely without any off putting scent. I tried this one after trying another Vitamin C serum my dermatologist recommended, but the consistency and smell of the other one makes this one a dream to use in comparison.
Instead of a dropper, it is dispersed using a pump. The consistency is thin, but not watery. It does not leave my skin feeling sticky. I love not having it drip all over my face. Leaves a nice glow without being shiny.
Time will tell how effective it is at fading brown spots, but as with the other Good Molecules products, this is a great product for a great price.

Great buy and a have to try
This is a very nice vitamin C serum/cream. It spreads nicely, so you do need a lot. A little really does go a long way. I wash my face, apply serums, and then apply this on top before my moisturizer. It doesn't pill up at all for me. In fact, it layers really well. It's dry time is fairly quick, and it's a GREAT value for your money. It's also not oily at all.
I've been using it for over a week now and I can tell my complexion is brighter and the one dark spots are s bit lighter. I'd say it's pretty effective.
