Good Genes

**I recently read the beauty industry standard for repurchase is less than 30%. **
Ouch! I think for everyone on MUA it is likely less since we love makeup and skincare and all related things. Ive been on this board since I was in the "18-24" category, ha! so I def love my makeup and now skincare.

So the product, got it once with a gift card when it was used on me during a …Read more

I'm so disappointed in Good Genes. Various beautubers had hyped me up about this products, so when it finally became available in my country, I didn't hesitate and bought it. Only to find out it didn't do anything for my face. What a let down. I used it for two months but went back to The Ordinary products afterwards. Those do work.

This will be my review on the European Version of Good Genes ( Glycolic Acid Formula).
I really love it and works great on my skin. It really evens out my skin tone. It didn't break me out or stings my skin at all.
I bought a 15 ML bottle from Italy's Sephora and it is retailing at 48 euros ( though i paid less with a 20% discount).
The bottle lasted me for about two and a …Read more

Good Genes smells a little unusual, herbal, like lemongrass. It's not horrible, especially if you're used to essential oils or other herbal products, and if you use it enough you honestly can't smell it anymore. I use it 2-3x a week on my very sensitive, acne-prone, very pale and redness-prone skin. I use 2 pumps on my whole face or 1 pump on my cheeks, chin, and jaw alone, where …Read more

This treatment does it all. I have been using it about a month every night after washing my face. I have noticed fewer wrinkles, especially on my forehead, and clearer, even skin. My skin is less textured since I stayed using this. Glycolic acid was too harsh for my skin but this is perfect. Ig is expensive and I wish it were cheaper, but I will continue to buy. I feel like I cannot live without …Read more

This is a good effective product it does have a strong lemongrass scent that I got used it. This really used to be the only of its kind. Now cheaper alternatives exist. Furthermore, this product contacts DMDM Hydantoin which is a formaldehyde releaser due to this I would never buy it again.

The company used to make outlandish claims which it seems like they have calmed down on. An …Read more

I found this product ineffective. It didn’t make my skin look any more radiant or bright. The scent is nice - very faint whiff of fresh lemon, nice thin serumy texture that spreads easily but that’s about it. At this price point, I want to see some visible results and I 100% didn’t.

It’s a very gentle product so perhaps that’s why I didn’t see any visible results.

So I've used Good Genes for a year now and have went through two bottles.

YES, this product does give you glowing and radiant skin, however I found the cream formula was too thick for me, this product never really sank into my skin, no matter how little I used. I did not notice much exfoliation effects, I still had some small bumps and PIH, but besides that my skin was pretty …Read more

I am dissappointed in this brand as they blatently ignore the law for marketing purposes no doubt. They list their ingredients not in decending order like they arsupposed to, but from most expensive to least costly. This is not only against the law, but can be very dangerous if one has allergies. They know that the authorites will not prosecute them for this so they take full advantage and …Read more

Packaging feels super luxurious. I wanted something to replace a cheaper daily exfoliating face lotion. I wanted something that could help with congestion, dullness, and lightening acne scars. I think it helped, but I wanted to get a silk pillow or something because I was worried it would rub off at night! It's definitely on the shinier side and when it dries, if you rub your face too much …Read more
