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.

So worth it
This product is honestly worth every penny. I suffer from sensitivity and redness on my cheeks and this is by far the most effective product I’ve used - pores look smaller, redness has gone down, and I’ve had no breakouts since using this every night. Could not recommend more, even for sensitive skin this is a dream.

Glowing skin after use!
I use it 1 per week due to sensitivity of my skin. Face is glowing the morning after. Highly recommended.

Beauty Secret
Although I do prefer the US formula of this which uses lactic acid, I still think this one does the trick! I find it evens out my skins texture while leaving a nice glow. I like it for the day when I feel like my skin needs a boost and I like it at night to help with repair. Can't go wrong with Good Genes and will continue to repurchase it!

You can feel the product working!
This glycolic acid is fantastic! I usually use alpha H but wanted to try a cream formula instead. It does not disappoint even with its price tag. You have to double cleanse first to really feel a difference, however, you feel a tingle straight away once it’s massaged into the face. A staple in my evening routine now.

Gives a glow
I have used this product for about 7 years, and it always gives a glow and helps even out fine lines. I am very picky, too! I only use it for special occasions, as it is pricey, but I can honestly recommend this.

Worth every penny!
Man, this stuff is expensive but wow, does it work! My combination skin feels baby soft and looks clear and bright. My few spots have disappeared, dry patches have cleared up, my wrinkles don't seem as deep and my pores are definitely smaller. Even my husband commented on how good my skin was looking! I slather this on last thing at night, followed by the Luna Sleeping Oil and wake up to perfect skin every time.

the best thing ever
I'm on my third bottle of this. it is the best thing ever. I use it at night and my skin in the morning looks amazing, evens out skin tone, helps with acne, scarring. You can tell it actually is doing something once you put it on. Defo try this out if you like Alpha H liquid gold

Worth it
It’s expensive however does what it need to do in less the time of cheaper products that claim to do the same. I compared this to The Ordinary and Drunk Elephant and found that Good Genes is just better. Reduces pores, exfoliates skin creating a glow. I use this twice a week with the Luna sleeping oil. My skin is oily but can be dry at times deep into winter.

Pricey, but - it DOES the trick
For quite some years I'm using already different kind of 'chemical' peelings (you know, the usual suspects, AHA, BHA ...) with so far great results: Less break-outs, smooth and bright skin and a wonderful, healthy glow even at my very pale skin-tone. Even there are quite cheaper products out there telling me they have at least the same concentration of, like, Glycolic acid, I gave this one a try and so far it's the best I found: A little goes a veeeeeeery loooooong way and somehow I have the feeling that this product is 'stronger' compared to others, it might be the pH-value, it might be another ingredient - however, it's even the very first time I got a slight sunburn when staying outside in the freezingly cold German winter for quite some time a couple of weeks ago, so this already tells me how good this one works. And yes, I am aware that I should have been using sunscreen. ;) In short: Will re-purchase, without any doubt. And it's going to replace some 'ordinary' products as well as some 'doctor'-brands so far I've been using with great success.
