Powered by science and balanced by botanicals, Sunday Riley's supercharged skin care delivers visible, measurable results. Created by Sunday Riley herself, the brand uses her 20+ years of experience as a cosmetics chemist and product formulator, to bring to life everyday essentials that enhance the quality of your complexion. A case in point is the Good Genes Glycolic Acid Treatment (30ml), an exfoliating powerhouse that revives the look of dull, lacklustre skin.
Looking to boost your complexion's radiance? Sunday Riley has you covered with the Good Genes Glycolic Acid Treatment (30ml).
Starring tiny glycolic acid molecules, this serum-textured treatment breaks apart pore-clogging debris to brighten skin. Alongside this, lactic acid exfoliates (AKA swifts away dead skin cells), while prickly pear extract soothes and lemongrass extract refreshes. This potent potion of ingredients improves the look of pigmentation and plumps fine lines. If that wasn't enough, it can be used daily to give your complexion a moisture boost or applied as a treatment mask to get skin glowing ahead of a special occasion.
Water/Eau/Aqua, Dimethicone, Glycolic Acid, Caprylyl Caprylate/Caprate, Ppg-12/Sdmi Copolymer, Squalane, Propanediol, Cetearyl Alcohol, Potassium Lactate, Bis-stearyl Dimethicone, Cymbopogon Schoenanthus Oil, Glycerin, Potassium Hydroxide, Ppg-24-glycereth-24, Sodium Phytate, Xanthan Gum, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Glyceryl Stearate, Peg-100 Stearate, Palmitic Acid, Stearic Acid, Phenoxyethanol, Opuntia Ficus-indica Fruit Extract, Ceteareth-20, Caprylyl Glycol, Chlorphenensin, Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Extract, Sorbitan Isostearate, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate.

Took me a while
I first bought the vitamin C serum from this brand and my skin loved it. It’s a repeat purchase I will always stick to! I wanted to expand and try some of their other products so went for this one. I tried to incorporate into my skincare and started to get breakouts. I’m oily blemish prone and if I go too hard with exfoliating or harsh products it can give me congestion. I left it out of my routine until my skin recovered and have started to use it once and week and I love it. I use my vitamin C twice a day and then I use this once a week, and then a few days later I use a retinol once a week too. Seems to be working great and my skin is much improved. If it doesn’t work first time just try a different approach!

Expensive but worth it !
For me it’s simple .. this product works, my skin feels smoother and plumper with a visible difference compared to when I don’t use it (I have a combination skin).

My all time fav top 10 list
Hands up it’s in my top 10 all time fav list. Really clears and smooths my skin. I only use it once a week as serum under my usual moisturiser and works like magic. I never really thought I needed this serum until I tried it. I have a mature, sensitive and dry skin that reacts products easily hence all those expensive creams for face used on other parts of the body in the past. But this serum is almost miracle in bottle. Everyone should try out to believe the hype if this brand gives samples!

Good in deed
This stuff is amazing. It had made a world of difference to my uneven texture and acne. I experienced no irritation and it layered beautifully with other products. I'll never be without it. It's expensive but worth it.

Can’t be without it
It has been a staple product for me the last 2 years. Leaves the skin smooth and healthy looking. Tingles a little when you apply but don’t be scared it means it’s working and don’t forget to use an spf cream during the day

Really works
This serum really works. I use it every other night and I wake up with smooth skin, it gets rid of small bumps on the side of my face, just generally removes texture. I have tried other expensive aha serums like the drunk elephant one but they don't compare. Worth the price.

Really makes a difference with consistent use
I bought this after using up a bottle of Drunk Elephant's TLC Serum, as I wanted something stronger. This is an amazing product and one of the few that has actually made a difference to my skin (I have combination acne-prone skin). It's incredibly expensive but worth it, I have tried a lot of treatments and nothing compared to this one. I've used it consistently for 6 months and it has improved my skin texture so much and it keeps my skin clear, I've rarely had new breakouts. If you have the budget, I would definitely consider this one, as it outperforms a lot of other similar products - including the DE TLC, which did nothing for my skin.
