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.

Amazing
This is the most money I have EVER spent on a skincare product and that's because it's AMAZING! My skin practically glows. My pores are reduced, but skin tone is more even, and my problem area of my chin has never been clearer. Very expensive but worth every penny

Lovely Product
This is a lovely product with lots of plumping and moisturising properties. You can also really feel that glycolic tingle. I wish it weren't so expensive so that I could afford to have it on my top shelf at all times

Deserves its reputation
With Good Genes my face has been the most smooth and soft. Can’t imagine not having this product in my routine. My face is reactive since I use a few actives, but tolerates this serum well.

I shouldn’t have waited so long to buy it!!!
This serum is truly amazing. Like others, I had put off buying it for so long because of the price tag. I’m so glad I bit the bullet! My skin is loving it. It’s now a firm favourite in my skincare routine.

Pleasantly surprised
Felt nervous about buying this as it’s so damn pricey but am glad I did. After a week or so of using it at night and in the am I’ve noticed my pigmentation much improved. So much so, I don’t wear foundation during the day now, which has never happened in all of my 40 years. Believe the hype, the is stuff is GREAT. Yes, it’s pricey, but your skin is the only thing you wear every day so why not take damn good care of it....?! Will definitely repurchase again and again!

Le produit qui a changé ma peau
Ce sérum est le produit qui change tout pour moi, c’est juste ce dont j’avais besoin. Non seulement il est le remède que j’ai tant chercher contre mon acné hormonale qui a rendu ma peau hyper grasse mais en plus il l’a rééquilibré. Ressert mes pores et rends tout sont éclat et sa jeunesse à ma peau. Il permet même aux hydratant que je mets après de mieux faire leur job. J’ai essayé d’autres acides glycolique mais vraiment c’est celui la ma perfection! Je l’aime je l’aime. J’ai la peau sensible et fine et je peux le mettre matin et soir. Ma jumelle qui a la peau très sèche n’aime pas vraiment l’utiliser ça la « pique » un peu donc peut-être pas pour tout le monde! *************** This serum is the product that changes everything for me, it’s just what I needed. Not only is it the remedy I have been looking for so much for my hormonal acne which made my skin hyper oily, but it also rebalanced it. Tightened my pores and restored radiance and youthfulness to my skin. It even allows the moisturizers I put on afterward to do their job better. I have tried other glycolic acids but this really is my perfection! I love it, I love it. I have sensitive, thin skin and can still put it on morning and night. My twin who has very dry skin doesn’t really like to use it because it tingles a bit so maybe not for everyone!

Now I see what all the fuss is about!
I don’t know why I was so scared to try this. Usually, glycolic acid makes me nervous but using this, I understand why everyone loves. My skin was looking a bit ‘meh’. Dry, flaky and textured. When I first tried it, I really did wake up feeling like I had a much smoother complexion. I don’t use it too often, just once or twice a week to give my skin a boost.
