Sunday Riley Good Genes Lactic Acid Face Serum 1.0 oz — Brightening, Texture‑Refining Treatment

Sunday Riley Good Genes All-in-One Lactic Acid Treatment is a concentrated lactic acid serum that exfoliates dead skin, refines texture, and visibly brightens discoloration for an immediate glow.

This potent 1.0 oz serum combines high‑potency purified lactic acid with botanical brighteners and soothing extracts to reveal smoother, more even-looking skin. Designed as a targeted treatment, Good Genes works quickly to lift away dull surface cells while supporting the look of reduced lines and dark spots. The formula pairs clinical exfoliation power with calming ingredients so skin appears clarified without overt irritation when used as directed.

How does Good Genes exfoliate without harsh abrasion?

Good Genes relies on purified lactic acid, a gentle alpha hydroxy acid that dissolves the bonds between dead surface cells rather than scrubbing them away. This chemical exfoliation smooths texture and helps pores appear less congested while encouraging a brighter complexion.

• High‑potency, purified lactic acid for chemical exfoliation
• Removes dull, pore‑clogging dead skin cells
• Non‑abrasive action reduces friction and sensitivity risks

What ingredients support brightening and calming effects?

Alongside lactic acid, Good Genes includes licorice root extract to help visibly reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation and lemongrass to enhance radiance. Soothing botanicals such as aloe and cactus extracts balance the formula to help calm skin after exfoliation.

• Licorice extract for visibly brighter tone
• Lemongrass oil to boost surface radiance
• Aloe and prickly pear extracts to soothe and hydrate

How quickly will I see results and how should I use it?

Clinical testing shows improvements in plumping the look of fine lines and radiance in minutes, with visible reduction in dark spots over weeks when used consistently. Apply a few drops to clean, dry skin before heavier treatments or moisturizers; follow product instructions and use sunscreen daily to protect renewed skin.

• Clinically tested for immediate radiance and line‑plumping
• Visible dark spot improvement with ongoing use
• Apply to clean skin, then layer moisturizer and SPF

Is Good Genes suitable for sensitive or daily use?

Good Genes is formulated to balance strong exfoliation with calming botanicals, but sensitivity varies by individual. Start gradually—use several times per week or as tolerated—and monitor skin; reduce frequency if irritation occurs and avoid combining with other active exfoliants without professional advice.

• Start slowly; increase frequency as tolerance builds
• Avoid combining with multiple exfoliating acids at once
• Use sunscreen daily to protect new, exfoliated skin
