Frequently Asked Questions
Does this work for sensitive skin?
Does this work for sensitive skin?
Yes! We use highly-purified, food grade lactic acid derived from corn fermentation. This creates a higher quality lactic acid that is perfect for sensitive skin barriers. Prickly pear, aloe, and arnica work to calm the look of the skin, supporting overall skin wellness.
What if I have dry skin? Oily skin?
What if I have dry skin? Oily skin?
Yes, Good Genes is great for both dry and oily skin.
It’s a lactic acid treatment that gently exfoliates the surface of the skin while also hydrating and brightening, making it incredibly versatile.
For dry or dull skin: It removes flaky buildup and dry dead skin cells while delivering hydration, glow, and brightness, so skin looks plumper, smoother, and more radiant.
For oily or breakout-prone skin: It helps clear out congestion and debris, smooth rough texture, and visibly reduce the look of discolorations, without stripping the skin.
Good Genes is formulated to be non-drying, non-stripping, and barrier-supportive, which makes it a favorite across skin types and all ages - even sensitive skin.
