Introduction Sunday Riley
When it comes to Sunday Riley skincare, I’m a bit of a product detective. I’m always on the lookout for the holy grail that promises brighter, smoother skin—without the hassle. One product that constantly appears on Best-Of lists and glows up my Instagram feed is Sunday Riley’s Good Genes. So, I decided to give it a real shot and share my thoughts firsthand.
What is Sunday Riley Good Genes?
Good Genes treatment sunday riley is a cult-favorite treatment, best known for its unique, multitasking formula. At its core, it’s an exfoliating serum powered by lactic acid—a gentle but effective alpha hydroxy acid (AHA). The formula promises to tackle dullness, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and uneven texture. Besides lactic acid, there’s licorice (for brightening), arnica (for soothing), and lemongrass (for a fresh scent).
My Experience Using Good Genes
Before jumping in, I read that some people experience slight tingling when applying Good Genes. Honestly? The first time I used it, there was a faint tingle, but nothing uncomfortable—just a sign it was working its magic. I used two pumps, smoothed it over clean skin, and followed with moisturizer.
My skin felt instantly smoother and, dare I say, plumper. Over a few weeks, I noticed old acne spots fading faster. My usual winter dullness gave way to a more radiant look. And my pores definitely looked a bit less “in your face,” which was a nice bonus!
How to Use Good Genes
- Frequency: I started slow, using it every other night, then ramped up to every evening when my skin adjusted.
- Routine: Cleanser → Sunday Riley good genes lactic acid → Moisturizer. If I used strong actives in the morning (like vitamin C), I skipped them at night to avoid irritation.
- Tip: Always wear sunscreen! Exfoliating acids make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Good genes sunday riley all in one lactic acid treatment.
Key Benefits (and Drawbacks)
What I love:
- Visible glow and smoother texture after just a few uses
- Lightweight and sinks in quickly
- Fast results for dark spots and fine lines
- Nice herbal scent (albeit a bit strong for some)
To consider:
- Pricey compared to many other AHAs
- Might tingle or cause mild redness in sensitive skin
- The pump occasionally dispenses more product than needed
Final Thoughts Sunday Riley
After weeks of putting Good Genes through its paces, I get the hype. It’s not just an overnight fix, but with consistent use, it really does revive tired, lackluster skin. However, it’s definitely an investment piece, so I’d recommend picking up a sample before committing if you have sensitive skin (or a sensitive wallet!).
