The formula aims to create an immediate glowing effect while supporting a more refined skin appearance over time.

How quickly will I see results with Good Genes?

Many people notice an immediate glow and a softer skin surface after the first application thanks to the serum's exfoliating action. Continued use tends to refine texture and brighten the look of dark spots and discoloration over several weeks. Individual results depend on skin type and consistency of use.

• Instant surface radiance often visible within minutes.
• Noticeable smoothing of fine lines with repeated use.
• Improved clarity and evenness over weeks when used regularly.

What does the lactic acid in this serum do for my skin?

Lactic acid gently dissolves the bonds that hold dead skin cells to the surface, revealing fresher-looking skin beneath. As a member of the alpha hydroxy acid family, it exfoliates without overly stripping, helping skin look brighter and feel smoother. It is formulated at a concentration intended to balance effectiveness and tolerability.

• Removes dull surface cells for an immediate glow.
• Helps reduce the visible appearance of dark spots and discoloration.
• Improves skin texture and the look of fine lines.

How should I use Good Genes in my skincare routine?

Apply a small amount to clean, dry skin once daily or as tolerated, either in the morning or at night. Follow with moisturizer and a broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning when using exfoliating acids. If you have sensitive skin, start with every other day to assess tolerance.

• Use after cleansing and before heavier creams or oils.
• Introduce gradually if you’re new to chemical exfoliants.
• Always pair with SPF during daytime use to protect renewed skin.

Who is this for: Sunday Riley Good Genes is suited for anyone seeking a potent exfoliating serum that addresses dullness, uneven tone, and textural concerns. It works well for those wanting an immediate brightening effect and a refined look to fine lines, provided they follow usage guidance and sun protection. If you have highly reactive skin, consult a skincare professional and patch-test before regular use.
