Skin Authority | GO! Gorgeous Kit Review
Hello beauty babes, today I have a review for you of the GO! Gorgeous Kit ($58) that I received c/o Skin Authority. This is a kit that includes Skin Authority's "most powerful products". It includes these four personal-sized products: Daily Cleanser, Resurfacing Accelerator, Tri-Power Peptide Hydrator and Sunscreen Moisturizer SPF 30. According to the site, these are the benefits of these products and this kit:
Something I would like to note before I get into the break down of the products and my thoughts is that shortly after I started using this kit, I did experience a little bit of an acne breakout. Its been quite some time (maybe a year) since I have had a break out and it came on pretty strong, along my jaw line - which is where it typically happens (when it happens).
I wanted to mention this because sometimes when you try new skin care, especially ones with active ingredients that increase cell turnover - your skin may purge and "get worse, before it gets better". You just need to continue and give it time, usually about 3-6 weeks. If breakouts continue or get worse after that point, then the product is not right for you! But its good to keep this in mind, as we tend to instantly think a product is "bad" if it breaks us out once we start to use it. As for me, yes my breakout started going away. I am currently still dealing with the last of it, but it hasn't worsened.
On that note, if I had been more worried about my skin - or unfamiliar with "skin purge"... I know I could have taken advantage of the Skin Coaching provided by Skin Authority, which I already mentioned.
- Powerful and portable daily skin care kit.
- Ideal as an introduction, for travel, or for the gym.

Daily Cleanser: "Gently cleanses the face and body. Leaves skin refreshed, soft, and prepped for a daily routine."
My Thoughts: Even though this is a good cleanser, I wasn't wow'd by it. Not sure what would really "wow" me about a cleanser, but I just kind of felt like - "ok this did its job" and that was it. Its just one very necessary step that works in partner with the rest of the products. This is a perfect cleanser for all skin types. But I think for someone who has sensitive skin, this may really stand out, because it really is very gentle, and doesn't have any fragrance or dyes.
Sunscreen Moisturuzer: "Vitamin and botanical rich daily moisturizer hydrates, nourishes, and SPF 30 protects in one simple, dry finish step."
My Thoughts: I am a big fan of sunscreen moisturizers, and this one has become a new favorite! The convenience of a 2-in-1 is my preferred choice, since most regular sunscreens really dry my skin out. And unlike most sunscreens, this one isn't greasy or oily. It absorbs beautifully and doesn't leave a white-cast either.

Resurfacing Accelerator: "Gentle action, leave-on exfoliator that helps transform skin for a firmer, smoother, and more radiant appearance."
My Thoughts: My #1 Favorite product from this kit! I truly believe Skin Authority has found the fountain of youth and is selling it as this resurfacing accelerator! When I looked in the mirror, the morning after my 2nd time using this I was shocked to see just how noticeably firmer and smoother my skin looked. I've got some fine lines forming on my forehead, that have diminished quite a bit since using this product. I am quite impressed and amazed by this product!
Something to note is that it may cause some stinging/tingling/burning feeling the first few times you use it. Though this is a typical sensation for a leave on exfoliator, I wanted to mention for those who have more sensitive skin, because the feeling is pretty intense. I have tried a few other chemical peels/exfoliators that cause the similar tinging/stinging sensation, however this one was the most intense I have experience. Good thing for me, is that I don't have sensitive skin, and I didn't mind the feeling.
Tri-Power Peptide Hydrator: "Peptide-rich moisturizer hydrates skin and firms tone for a brighter complexion and a more lifted look."
My Thoughts: This is my 2nd favorite product from this kit. I have combination, leaning more towards dry skin. So, I love (and need) a good hydrator like this for my skin. The Tro-Power Peptide Hydrator is perfection. It instantly makes my skin feel moisturized and youthful - I want to say plump - but that sounds bad. But its so good - my skin honestly feels plump with hydration. It helps with dry patches and just over all hydration and moisture for my skin. ♥
Overall this is a great kit! Its a very easy routine, yet provides everything you need; Clean skin, sun protection, hydration as well as a more youthful appearance! Since the products in this kit are "personal-size" its perfect for traveling or going to the gym, or simply as an introductory kit to Skin Authority products. A little bit goes a long way with each of these products, so they will last you some time. I have been using them for a month now and still have enough product to probably last me another month.
