Product Summary
"Skin Authority - Resurfacing Accelerator Treatment" is effective for: Anti-inflammatory, Exfoliation, Evens skin tone and Anti-aging
This product could be helpful for: Moisturizing, but its actives are not the most effective or are not well-studied.
Ingredient callouts
- Exfoliating acids (glycolic acid 7.10% - 10.70%). In this concentration, they will have a noticeable exfoliating effect. They can also have an anti-aging effect and stimulate collagen production in a long-run.
- In addition, this product contains Allantoin (1.30% - 1.90%). Allantoin is helpful in wound-healing and can help restore the skin barrier faster. It might also be able to improve scars, but the evidence is not very strong for this.
- Humectants (allantoin 1.30% - 1.90%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

The product retails from 23.00$ up to 55.00$ in the United States, from 27.60CA$ up to 66.00CA$ in Canada and for 39.00£ in the United Kingdom.

Works for
Anti-aging
What does the product description say?
Holy grail ingredient for anti-aging benefits, Allantoin softens the look of fine lines and wrinkles for smoother, refined skin with a youthful glow.
Source: Lookfantastic CA
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains glycolic acid.
Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.
An alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that helps to remove the dead skin cells on the surface of the skin reveling a more even, smoother complexation. It is also able to stimulate collagen production with long-term use. Could help to reduce pore congestion. It can be irritating to the skin. Apply sunscreen daily if using products with glycolic acid
Evens skin tone
What does the product description say?
Reveal a smoother, fresher and more radiant complexion with the Skin Authority Resurfacing Accelerator Treatment ; a multipurpose solution in one step that chemically exfoliates skin without drying, irritating or causing undue stress to skin.
Source: Lookfantastic CA
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: glycolic acid
Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.

Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
Reveal a smoother, fresher and more radiant complexion with the Skin Authority Resurfacing Accelerator Treatment ; a multipurpose solution in one step that chemically exfoliates skin without drying, irritating or causing undue stress to skin.
Source: Lookfantastic CA
This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: glycolic acid.

Helps calm down inflammation in skin and can help reduce itching. Helps to repair the skin barrier and keep skin hydrated
Moisturizing
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": allantoin, caprylyl glycol.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
