Formulation Deep Dive
Sunday Riley’s Good Genes Lactic Acid Treatment is formulated as a high-performance exfoliating serum designed for rapid skin resurfacing and brightening. The base utilizes a sophisticated emulsion system of Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Squalane, and Dimethicone to provide a silky, spreadable texture that offsets the potential irritation of low-pH acids. The active performance is driven by a high concentration of Lactic Acid for alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) exfoliation, synergistically blended with Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract and Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate to inhibit tyrosinase activity and reduce redness. Botanicals such as Opuntia Tuna (Prickly Pear) Fruit Extract and Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract provide immediate soothing and antioxidant support to maintain the skin barrier during chemical exfoliation. The formulation is stabilized by a robust polymer network including Xanthan Gum and PPG-12/SMDI Copolymer, ensuring even distribution of actives, and is preserved with a system featuring Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, and Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate.
