Good Genes All In One Lactic Acid Serum

Approx. price: $85
9.2/10
Lilyvera expert score ยท based on hands-on testing and specialist review

Good Genes is a well-known name in exfoliating serums โ€” a lactic-acid serum that combines this gentle AHA's hydration with prickly pear extract for surface polish. The result is smoother, clearer-looking skin, and it's typically used as a night step.

This iconic multitasking serum with lactic acid gently exfoliates skin and gives the face a smooth, even glow. Its light texture absorbs quickly and leaves skin looking clear and refined.

Even texture โ€” brightness and radiance โ€” smoother skin โ€” a clearer look

Our expert verdict

We've tested this serum, and the hype isn't unfounded โ€” the next morning, skin is noticeably smoother and more even, and it shines for dullness and rough texture. In our experience, its main drawbacks are the high price and a fairly strong herbal scent, so very sensitive skin should start cautiously.

How to use

At night, apply a few drops to clean, dry skin and massage until absorbed, then follow with moisturizer. Always wear sunscreen the next day.

Key ingredients

Lactic acid (AHA), prickly pear extract, lemongrass extract, aloe extract

Suitable for

Suited to most skin types; sensitive skin should introduce it cautiously and gradually
