Glycolic acid is a superstar in the world of skincare and hair care even. I don’t know how I lived so long without it. It does so much. It’s compatible w my sensitive skin too.

This bottle will last a while and it will do so much. Spray your back after the shower for backne prevention.. tackle hyperpigmentation issues on legs with a good spray down after the shower or whenever.

  • Strong but Effective—Great Results if You Don’t Overdo It (Your Skin Will Warn You 😅)
Size: 8.11 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using this glycolic acid toner for a few weeks now, and I have to say—my skin and I are finally on better terms. I originally bought it to deal with uneven texture and those random little bumps that seem to show up uninvited, and it’s actually made a noticeable difference. Within the first week, my skin felt smoother, and after a few weeks, I started seeing improvements in tone and dark spots. The quality is pretty impressive. It has a lightweight, watery texture that absorbs quickly and doesn’t feel heavy or sticky. There’s a slight tingling sensation at first, which can be a little surprising—but nothing too crazy. Think of it as your skin saying, “Okay, something is definitely happening here.” That said, this stuff is strong. I made the mistake of using it too often at first and my skin basically said, “Absolutely not.” Lesson learned—use it a few times a week, not every day (unless you enjoy living dangerously). Also, sunscreen is non-negotiable unless you want to undo all your progress. One thing I really like is the versatility—you can use it on other areas like underarms or back, which is a nice bonus. And when it comes to value for the money, it’s honestly great. The bottle is pretty big, and since you don’t need much per use, it lasts a long time. Overall, I’d say this is a high-quality product that actually delivers results—as long as you respect it. Treat it right, and it’ll treat your skin right… ignore the instructions, and it will humble you real quick. ... show more

I’m absolutely delighted with The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 This toner has transformed my skincare routine and significantly brightened my complexion. The 7% glycolic acid effectively exfoliates my skin without causing irritation, and I’ve noticed a remarkable improvement in texture and radiance. After just a few uses, my skin feels smoother and looks more even-toned. I love how refreshing it feels upon application, and it absorbs quickly, allowing me to layer my other skincare products without any hassle. The packaging is practical and easy to use, giving just the right amount of product with each application. Plus, the price point is fantastic for such a high-quality product. Overall, I highly recommend The Ordinary Glycolic Acid Toner for anyone looking to brighten their skin and achieve a healthy glow.

Size: 8.11 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This toner is an absolute miracle worker! I’ve been using it a few times a week, and the improvement in my skin's texture and radiance is incredible. It gently exfoliates, leaving my face feeling so smooth and looking noticeably brighter. It is also amazing for clearing up dark spots and evening out skin tone. A little goes a long way, so the bottle lasts for months, making it an unbeatable value for the price. Just remember to use sunscreen during the day since it's an acid! It has completely transformed my skincare routine and I can’t recommend it enough ... show more

  • An all-in-wonder for your skin
Size: 8.11 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
While this product is officially marketed as a facial skin toner, I actually purchased it based on a recommendation to use it to get rid of stinky armpit odors and it has completely exceeded my expectations. If you are only using this on your face, you are missing out! Here is why this has become a staple in my daily routine: An Incredible Underarm Deodorant: I started splashing a small amount of this toner onto my underarms after showering, and it works brilliantly at eliminating stinky armpit smells. Because glycolic acid lowers the pH level of your skin, it makes the environment less hospitable to odor-causing bacteria. It keeps me completely fresh all day long without relying on heavy fragrances. Smooths Out Skin Bumps: I also use a little bit of this on other areas of my body that are prone to unwanted bumps, rough texture, or razor burn. The 7% glycolic acid gently exfoliates the dead skin cells, and I’ve noticed a massive reduction in bumps and a much smoother skin texture overall. Packaging & Value: The bottle is quite large at 81 fl oz and comes with a convenient nozzle applicator, making it incredibly easy to dispense onto a cotton pad or directly into your hands for body application. Given how little you need to use at a time, this bottle lasts for months, making it an amazing value. The only concerns i have are how do I take this with me when I’m travelling! A Quick Tip: Because this is an active alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), it can sting slightly if applied immediately after shaving. I recommend waiting a bit before applying it to freshly shaved skin! Conclusion: This is an incredibly versatile, effective, and budget-friendly product. Whether you want to even out your skin tone, smooth out body bumps, or tackle stubborn underarm odor, I cannot recommend this enough!! ... show more

  • I recommend this
Size: 8.11 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Using this on my hair, face, and neck. Feels light and not greasy. Skin feels softer and hair feels smoother. My frackles and pimples seems much less after regular use. Got the bigger bottle on Amazon, couldn’t find this size at Sephora anymore .

  • Less need for makeup was my goal and it succeeded! Less need for makeup was my goal and it succeeded!
Size: 8.11 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The best toner. Doesn’t break me out, I like the tingle, my face and skin has been so soft and glowing. It’s been about a month and I’ve paired it with a light face wash and moisturizer, and my face has been better than ever. Helps with large pores, and lasts a long time. I will definitely purchase this again. It’s a decent sized bottle and a little goes a long way. I’ve been wearing much less makeup because it’s helped so much. It works well especially being consistent. I think it would work for any skin type, but my skin in on the dry and dull side but this has helped tremendously and dosent dry my skin out more. It feels bouncy as well. Again, I do pair this with other light products, but this is a staple in my routine. ... show more

  • Affordable and effective
Size: 3.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I haven’t ever used a chemical exfoliant, but I heard great things about this toner and I like other products by The Ordinary. This toner is definitely exfoliating. It stings/tingles a little bit when you apply it. I’ve found it to be a little strong, so I definitely follow the recommendation of using it once per day (or less). It can make your skin more sensitive to the sun, so be sure to wear sunscreen when using this. I like it! It works well to exfoliate and even out my skin, and it’s a great price for good quality. I’ll purchase this again when I run out. ... show more
