"Good Genes is a lactic acid treatment that I tried on a live stream. They redid the packaging which is great, but I still think it's ridiculously expensive for a lactic acid serum. It's 122 dollars for some alpha hydroxy acids. The ingredients are basically alpha hydroxy acids, we also have some yeast, we have some lemongrass oil which could be irritating for some, we have some agave. These are not bad ingredients, they're just not worth 122 or even 80 dollars. If you want some really great lactic acid products, the Inky List has one of the most basic ones, The Ordinary also has a really great lactic acid, and if you're looking to spend a little bit more, Paula's Choice has stuff for like thirty dollars and Bioscience has some for sixty, so you're still saving like forty to sixty compared to the Sunday Riley one."
