I am about to dive into my Sunday Riley Good Genes ( thank you ☺️) and I’m definitely gonna take some before and after photos and i will report back lol I vote for the vitamin C comparison( says the long time Timeless user 😉) Have a fantastic weekend 🥰 Xo Tammy 🇨🇦

Since I started using it my skin has not broken out. I am so impressed with it. I was so impressed I tried their water cream too and I love it as well.

    I’m not sure if it’s the Good Genes or what but I end up getting a few of the large like underground zits when I try incorporating it into my routine. I just finally stopped everything except gentle cleanser and LRP double repair moisturizer and then the cicaplast at night over it so I’m not using any actives right now. I did order some Biossance stuff to try. I think I ordered the vitamin C and eye cream. I can’t remember what else comes with the set but I’m excited to try it out. I hope it makes me look like Reese Witherspoon when I’m done. 🤣🤩

    I definitely saw a difference. That was incredible! I voted, but I'd like to say it here too that I love to see you do the retinol next. I'm currently using the It Cosmetics one, and I'm really enjoying it. I haven't have any issues with it, but my friend, did so just be careful that you may have a reaction. I'm pretty used retinol, so maybe that was the issue? I'm not sure, but I haven't had any issues. I'm currently using the ordinary lactic acid and I'm pretty happy with it. It's funny how we all have different ways of doing their skin care. I pile it all on at the same time as my face is still wet. I was told that's how you're supposed to do it. Apparently it all absorbs better and you get a better absorption rate that way. Who knows right?❤❤

    That instant drying and tingle from Good Genes doesn't mean it's better and may signal irritation is occurring. I'd rather go low and slow with DE than potentially causing irritation and dryness to my skin.

    You have to give the Drunk Elephant a few shakes to mix it up in the jar. Then it comes out cloudy and a bit thick. Not doing so result in a clear runny liquid. It also works GREAT for skin of color and once a week, at night. Don’t do the 2x a day, everyday. ✔️👍 Hope this helps.

    You like science. You should know that silicones and other fillers add slip and that's what gives you "high end" feel you speak off. Feeling emolient is not synonymous with high end. You would think that with the knowledge and lessons from brands like the ordinary that consumers would know better.
