Listen, I'm not a skincare girlie, but my mom tossed me this because she didn't like the smell (it smells like black licorice sort of) and its one of the only times I've actually noticed my skin looking better than it usually does. I am going to try a dupe now that I went to rebuy and a 9 dollar alternative immediately came up. I'm assuming Lactic acid is Lactic acid.
I will purchase this product again

This product is a game changer. I have purchased many products and this one has exceeded my expectations. My skin feels and looks more radiant and the fine lines are barely visible. The difference was noticeable within one week. I am very happy with this product and the salesman, Nate, who introduced me to the product.
MUST BUY

Although I did see results with this product, it lasted less than a month and I used less than the suggested amount. I took the bottle apart to get every last, expensive drop and I was shocked at the packaging. What a scam! They should be ashamed!
not a lot of product, misleading

I was hesitant to purchase but glad I did so. It's a good maintenance and balancing serum, feel I've seen some texture and tone improvement.

Can definitely tell that it is the real thing (lactic acid, that is), because it stings like crazy when you have a healing blemish! It's a short-term sting though, so not unbearable. The packaging is tricky to get every last bit out- but you can tell that they put thought into trying to utilize a system that gets you every last drop. Love this stuff.
Best stuff ever!

I used to use this product 2023, worked amazing. I purchased another bottle 2024, it made my eyes swell, skin welt with what looked like hives. I tried 2 days ago (new bottle), the lactic acid did it again, welts and burning red, swelling around eye.
Expensive but worth it!

This stuff is a miracle worker. I struggle with dry patches and this fixes that. Pores look smaller, fine lines disappear, skin looks so glowy and smooth. I'll continue to repurchase for sure
My absolute go to!

I use this like a serum. My skin is so much clearer and brighter when I use it. By far my favorite Sunday Riley product and favorite acid exfoliant.
Wanted It To Work

I really wanted this to work but it did nothing after 2 small bottles nightly. I'm 65 and have started really late with the face lotions so after reading about Sunday Riley I tried it with high hopes but nothing. I don't know if it was bad because it had a really old smell to it. Some people talked about a smell but I wouldn't think it would be from being old or being transported in high heat. I don't know except I kept using it nightly until I ran out and it didn't do anything unless it caused me to get rosacea at 65 which it is intense and now I can't use any lotion on my face because it will cause a severe outbreak.
Love it!

I'm 64, skin is healthy but aging. My main concerns are wrinkles (not too deep) and sun damage. This lotion makes my skin look so much better - fresh and bright. I use a few different creams, like the CEO Vitamin C cream and Good Genes is one of my favorites. My skin loves it.
SUNDAY RILEY GLOW GOALS

GOOD GENES ALL-IN-ONE LACTIC ACID TREATMENT This product has been consistently used for the past 4 nights and I am seeming satisfied thus far about the quality. It is gently but still effective without over irritating my skin. I do notice mt skin a little more red after use. The Good Genes has proven itself worthy of staying in my collection long term. I will be tapering off this product to use every other week. The weeks in between daily use I will be using this as a mask twice in 7 days. Sunday Riley did not disappoint! The Glow Goals set is a perfect introductory for me. After several years of wanting to try these products I will not be without again.

Wow - it stopped pumping so I opened it up to get the last bit out and come to find the product is in this tiny bag and not even in the bottle - what a rip off and very misleading
