Good Genes Lactic Acid Treatment 50ml

"The glow-on-demand bottle that turned lactic acid into a personality trait."
Our take

$122 Price at Sunday Riley, checked Oct 2026.

The short answer

If dullness and leftover dark marks are your thing, it is worth it. It is a lactic acid treatment with licorice root that exfoliates for instant radiance and helps fade the look of spots over time. The 50ml lasts a long while since you only need a little.

Our Take

Why it made the edit.

Why we love it: It gives that freshly-slept, lit-from-within look fast. It works as a leave-on or a quick mask, so it fits lazy nights and big-event prep.
Skip it if: Skip it if your barrier is already angry or you are using other strong acids or retinoids.
The catch: It can tingle and is not for sensitive skin on a bad day. Daily SPF is non-negotiable when you exfoliate.
