Drew Barrymore says this anti-aging serum 'brightens and tightens' skin, now on sale
Not only is the skincare brand Sunday Riley beloved by beauty fanatics and shoppers alike, but its products have achieved cult status among A-list clients too. Everyone from Lizzo to Helena Bonham Carter has sung the brand’s praises, so we're thrilled to tell you that Amazon is offering a discount on Sunday Riley’s Good Genes All-in-One Lactic Acid Exfoliating Face Treatment Serum that's loved by so many shoppers — even Drew Barrymore. Right now, you can get a bottle of it up to 20% off during Amazon's Beauty Haul sale.
This multitasking serum exfoliates, plumps, brightens and smoothes skin in mere minutes. Get the smallest size for under $40 on sale.
Why is this a good deal? 💰
Sunday Riley's Good Genes Serum doesn't go on sale that often, so when it does, it's a big deal. Right now, you can get the smallest 0.5-ounce bottle for just $35 if you want to try it out. If you're already a fan and you want to stock up though, the 1-ounce bottle is on sale for $72 (down from $85) and the largest 1.7-ounce bottle is down to $104 (originally $122). You can subscribe to save even more, too.
Why do I need this? 🤔
Barrymore once wrote on her Instagram, "I’ve been using this product 1–2 times a week at night and love the results!" She then shared with her 18.1 million followers that the powerful serum gives an "amazing polish" to the face. "If I just use this once or twice a week I see a major difference in the brightening, the tightening, and the youthening of my skin," added Barrymore.
The Good Genes serum's multitasking treatment's main ingredient is lactic acid, which gently exfoliates skin to remove dead cells and dullness. Meanwhile, licorice root brightens skin and reduces the look of dark spots and hyperpigmentation. To top it off, lemongrass, arnica, prickly pear extract and aloe soothe irritations and even out skin tone.
Along with being vegan and cruelty-free, the serum is also free from any parabens, sulfate, phthalates, soy, fragrances and gluten. And it’s safe to use on sensitive skin. So it’s no wonder why it’s so popular with both Hollywood celebrities and shoppers!
What reviewers say 💬
More than 2,200 Amazon shoppers give the serum a glowing five-star rating, too.
Pros 👍
"I’ve been using the Sunday Riley Good Genes serum for a few weeks now, and I’m amazed by the results," said one impressed shopper. "My skin feels smoother, looks brighter, and some of my fine lines have visibly diminished. The lactic acid in this serum gently exfoliates without irritating my skin, and I love how soft and refreshed my face feels after each use."
"Love love love!" said another. "I’m sorry but for me, this is the best cream if you want the instant gratification for your skin to look right, bright and refreshed! I apply every morning prior to my moisturizer."
"If I could give this 10 stars I would!" said a five-star fan. "I do have sensitive skin and this has worked well with no issues. Leaves you with the softest most supple skin!"
"My face feels tightened and hydrated all in one!" added another.
Cons 👎
The biggest con is the price tag, according to reviewers. But that's why we're happy it's on sale!
"If I could afford it I would definitely buy again. So nice on your skin," said one.
"I've been using this mixed with the Luna retinol serum at night and it has made a magical difference in my complexion! It's a little pricey though so not sure it's sustainable to use it long term," added another reviewer.
You can apply one to three pumps of the serum to clean, dry skin day or night as a leave-on treatment.
If you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.)
