Sunday Riley has developed amazing products to improve skin
texture and restore radiance. I had the
pleasure of testing a Good Genes sample I received from Sephora. The product contains unneutralized lactic
acid, which is one of the most popular alpha hydroxyl acids to reduce fine
lines, plump skin, and renew texture for acne scars. Additional ingredients include licorice to
brighten and improve hyper pigmentation as well as containing anti-inflammatory
properties, squalene to replenish the natural oil in skin, and a yeast extract
for healing the skin with moisturizing capabilities.
The product is very multi-functional. It can be used as a serum morning and night,
a peel for a quick facial, or a mask when combined with Sunday Riley CeramicSlip Cleanser. Personally I use it as a
serum at night and my skin is radiant by morning. Occasionally I will use Good Genes in the
morning under my moisturizer to treat a breakout. It is a little pricey at $105 for a one ounce
bottle however not more than a pea size is needed and will last for a few
months depending on frequency of use.
If
you have sensitive skin, the product should only be used a few times a week as
it does cause a peeling effect. My
routine with this product includes wiping my makeup away with POND'S OriginalFresh Wet Cleansing Towelettes, washing with Clean and Clear Deep ActionExfoliating Scrub, and finishing with Sunday Riley Good Genes. I have very sensitive to combination skin and
tried a plethora of products over the years.
These are my go-to items and I have seen great results.
After much disappointment in harsh cleansers, I overhauled my entire routine to find a great base in Kat Von D Lock-It Powder Foundation, which I have reviewed in my blog that does
not clog pores and reduced my cleansing ritual to only include three essential
items. The simplest yet effective
methods are the best route to go. A
consultation with a good dermatologist can help you develop a list of products
unique to your skin and texture as everyone’s skin responds differently.
Cheers!
