Good Genes is beloved because the lactic acid exfoliates and retexturizes the skin, but unlike its more popular cousin, glycolic acid, is gentler and can be used daily. If past experience with red, irritated skin had you shunning away the exfoliating powers of acids, using Good Genes will ease you back in. Plus, botanical ingredients like prickly pear extract and cactus extract ensure your skin doesn't feel raw, but rather moisturized and soothed. On top of immediate effects, believers say the serum helps fade dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
I was skeptical about the hype—and the price—until I tried it for a week and saw my breakout from hell dramatically clear up. My skin had that elusive "glow" and my full-facebeat-loving self felt more comfortable than ever wearing less makeup. Convinced yet?
