Brand: Sunday Riley
Skin type: I have been looking for a place that tells me the skin types but can’t find one. However, I’d say it would be perfect for dry, sensitive skin.
How to use: Apply to clean skin, twice a day. With continued use, hyperpigmentation spots are brightened. It can be patted on top of makeup to seal in hydration and radiance. For increased brightening power, layer (or alternate) Tidal on top of Good Genes.

What I liked? If you follow me on Instagram you will know just how much I love this cream. I wasn’t even considering buying it or had even looked into it when Sunday Riley sent this to me (don’t worry this is all honest and not sponsored). When I opened the cool green, light gel it wasn’t what I was expecting and not what I was used to with creams that have hyaluronic acid as one of their main ingredients. Now the reason why this is important for me is because the weight of a chemical affects its distribution, because this has two weights of HA it is more likely to distribute all that hydrating goodness deeper into the skin. I remember the first time I wore this I was amazed at how my skin wasn’t dry after walking almost an hour in freezing weather. That has never, ever happened before! So, in summary this is my Holy Grail product.
What I disliked? I can honestly say nothing, I actually look forward to using this.
Would I buy again? Yes!
