Sunday Riley Good Genes

Back to the Good Genes…

I’ve been using this product for almost four weeks now. It’s a serum with a glossy, white consistency that I apply before moisturizing in the evenings. I hoped that over the course of this time, I’d see reduced acne scars and a more even complexion. I’m no neophyte to chemical exfoliants so I was probably too delighted with the lactic acid designation… Because although I did like Good Genes, I admit, it was a little underwhelming. I woke up to brighter, smoother, glowing skin; however, my scars haven’t changed much… I’ll commit to using this entire bottle, but haven’t gotten much faith that my scars will lighten any further at this point. I plan on purchasing the Luna Oil at some point and maybe the two together will be next-level good, but for now, I don’t really intend on buying another bottle of Good Genes.

My foray into Sunday Riley began as my skincare regiment failed to warn off acne…

I’ve heard so many wonderful things about the brand and have wanted to try it for years, but there are just so many products to choose from that I sometimes fail to tap into new ones. I originally wanted to purchase both the Luna Oil and Good Genes together, but decided to go with the latter because I still have a retinol oil to get through. If you haven’t purchased either, I highly recommend the Power Couple Duo – it sounds like an amazing value for both!

Anyway…

Don’t get me wrong… it’s a beautiful product that smells beyond lovely, but it’s quite pricey and I think my picky ass is just looking for a little more. If you’re new to chemical exfoliants or looking for an introduction, I think you’ll love this serum. It’s certainly a luxurious product. You just have to bear in mind that I’m quite old now and have been in the skincare market for years, so I look at everything I use with the utmost critical eye.
What do you guys think of Sunday Riley? Have you tried this serum? Should I jump into Luna Oil?
