Good Genes is the one Sunday Riley product everyone names first: a lactic acid treatment that exfoliates dull surface skin so you wake up looking brighter and smoother, with fine lines less obvious. (Mine is the mini from my Wake Up With Me set — the link goes to the 1.7 oz bottle, and the listing has other sizes to pick from too.)
Why We Like It:
- Lactic acid gently exfoliates dull, tired-looking surface skin
- Skin wakes up looking brighter and feeling smoother
- Fine lines look less obvious with regular use
- The treatment step the whole brightening routine builds around
Best For: Anyone whose skin looks dull or uneven and wants a smoother, brighter look by morning — use it at night under moisturizer, a few nights a week to start.
