Review Summary

Good Genes has transformed my skin texture and brightness. The purified lactic acid exfoliates gently but effectively, revealing smoother, more radiant skin by morning. I use it 2-3 times weekly at night, and my skin glows the next day. It's helped fade my dark spots and even out my complexion significantly. The serum has a silky texture that absorbs quickly. The lemongrass scent is polarizing but I've grown to love it. My pores appear smaller and my skin texture is dramatically improved. It's gentle enough that I don't experience irritation. One bottle lasts 3-4 months. At $85, it's expensive but delivers results that justify the price. This is the one product that gets me the most compliments. My skin looks healthier and more youthful overall.
