I wish I didn’t LOVE this serum as much as I do!!! Makes anyone look like they have “GOOD GENES”!
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
OMG, I wish I could afford to bathe in Good Genes! It's one of the very few products I've elevated to my "holy grail" list- formulas that actually deliver results and worth their weight in gold. I initially thought Good Genes was ridiculously overpriced for what appeared to be a fairly basic formula: purified lactic acid combined with a handful of skin-brightening botanicals. There's nothing particularly cutting-edge about the ingredients themselves. Lactic acid, lemongrass, aloe, arnica, and licorice have been used in beauty products for centuries. Even Cleopatra reportedly bathed in sour milk as low-tech lactic acid body peel! Good Genes was in my cart for weeks before I finally decided to bite the proverbial skincare bullet and order it. Honestly, I almost wish I hadn't…because I absolutely love it. If SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic has taught me anything, it's that creating a truly exceptional skincare product is about much more than the ingredient list. Percentages, concentrations, formulation, and delivery all matter. While Good Genes seems basic, it outperforms every other leave-on lactic acid treatment I've tried. The results speak for themselves, and that high price is easier to justify. I'm in my mid-40s and had great skin until I turned 40. Seemingly overnight, a lifetime of questionable decisions appeared etched across my face every time I looked in the mirror. Good Genes restored a youthful glow to my very dry, dull, and probably perimenopausal skin almost IMMEDIATELY. That's one of the things I love most about it- you get that instant gratification each time you apply it. Your skin looks brighter, smoother, and more radiant right away, while continued use helps soften fine lines and improve overall texture. My skin is noticeably more even, the fine lines around my eyes are smoother, and even my stubborn "1” wrinkle looks much softer. If you're over 40, haven't yet discovered the magic of lactic acid, and don't want to deal with peels, I highly recommend giving Good Genes a try. It's an easy-to-use, no-rinse treatment that fits seamlessly into almost any skincare routine, whether you're a minimalist or a skincare enthusiast with a 20 step routine. One pump is enough for my entire face, while two pumps cover my face, neck, upper chest, and hands. It layers beautifully under makeup, but also pairs nicely with retinol or other serums at night. I personally prefer using it in the morning, followed by moisturizer and sunscreen. It never pills and plays nicely with every product I've paired it with. My only real complaint is the price. If you can, wait for a sale and stock up. I certainly will. I really hate how much I love this stuff. ... show more

Gentle magic radiance in a few drops, GENIUS
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love Good Genes by Sunday Riley! It’s very smooth and combines several actives in one product so it multi-tasks as a gentle exfoliant with lactic acid while also minimizing dark spots with licorice. This serum is also moisturizing, so I most often put on a Hyaluronic acid based serum, let that sink in, then follow with this, followed by a chemical sunscreen then follow that with a physical sunscreen on top. I’ll go through phases where instead of using this in the morning, I’ll apply it at night before layering it with an anti-aging moisturizer. This is very smoothing without making my skin react in any way whatsoever, just a gentle whisking away of dead skin cells that you barely notice because you’re not scrubbing it off or using a harsh toner, so it just washes away gradually with your cleanser! Totally recommend this, especially if you have sensitive skin and breakout when you use physical scrub exfoliants. Note: I did NOT get this from Vine, I ordered it. Though it may have a tag on my review, apparently Amazon is all or nothing. As a member of Vine, even things we buy independent of the program are tagged with the disclaimer, which sort of stinks for these truly authentic reviews on purchases! ... show more

Glowing skin overnight
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve tried a lot of exfoliating serums, and this one actually lives up to the hype. It makes my skin look smoother, brighter, and more glowy by the next morning without feeling overly harsh. The texture is lightweight and layers well with the rest of my skincare. A little goes a long way, so the bottle lasts awhile. The only downside is the price, but honestly it’s one of the few products I consistently notice a difference with. ... show more

Smoothing.
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I buy lots of facial products, at all price points! This is one of the better ones. Not too pricey. It helped in removing product and dead skin.

Fantastic but $$$$$
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I absolutely love using this mixed with my face moisturizer every morning. Price makes me gag but I will continue to purchase until I can find a less expensive replacement.

Really like this skin treatment
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I ordered this when it was on sale and really like it. It took me a little while to figure out the best use for me (at night, after cleansing, apply face oil, then Good Genes, then moisturizer), and I have to remember not to use it for a day or two before getting my brows done. I think I do see an improvement in my skin; a scar on my forehead and some of my pores seem smaller. If it goes on sale again, I will repurchase. ... show more

This is the BEST for my skin!
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is the BEST for my skin! I have been using it for years, have it on Subscribe and Save! I’ve been asked my age and people are shocked when I tell them that I’m 72. I haven’t had any surgery - it’s just Good Genes! (And not my ‘own’ genes, believe me!)

So good I have to scrape bottle out as I ran out to not waste a drop
Size: 0.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Originally got this in my Ipsy subscription. I have never ever ever been as sure about spending this kind of $ on a product. This is the only product that has ever made my face feel so good and look so good. I’ll be sure this is on my Christmas and bday list every year!
