  • Gentle Yet Effective Glycolic Acid Toner for Clearer Skin
Size: 8.11 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution is a fantastic addition to my skincare routine. It’s gentle enough for regular use but powerful enough to help exfoliate dead skin, leaving my face feeling smoother and looking brighter. I love that it helps improve texture and reduces dullness without causing irritation or dryness, which can sometimes happen with acids. The formula is lightweight and absorbs quickly, making it easy to layer under moisturizer. For anyone wanting an affordable, effective toner to refresh and clarify their skin, this is a great choice! Just remember to use sunscreen, as glycolic acid can increase sun sensitivity. ... show more

  • Clearer, Smoother Skin in Just Days
Size: 3.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This toner is a game changer for my skincare routine. After just a few uses, my skin looked noticeably brighter and felt smoother. It helps clear out clogged pores, fades dark spots over time, and gives my skin a healthy glow. The formula is strong but gentle enough with proper use—no stinging or dryness when I follow with moisturizer. I use it 2–3 times a week at night, and it makes a huge difference in texture and clarity. Affordable, effective, and easy to work into any routine. Highly recommend! ... show more

  • The glow-up in a bottle—just go easy at first
Size: 8.11 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Let me start by saying this: if you’ve ever looked in the mirror and thought, “Why is my skin just... dull?”, this toner might be what you’re missing. The Ordinary's Glycolic Acid 7% Toner is kind of a cult favorite—and for good reason. I started using it a few times a week at night, and within the first two weeks, I noticed my skin was smoother, less congested around my nose and chin, and definitely more radiant. It's not a dramatic overnight transformation, but it's like your skin slowly wakes up and starts behaving better. The feel? Slightly tingly at first—especially if you're new to acids. It's watery, almost like a micellar toner, and absorbs quickly. I apply it after cleansing and before serums or moisturizer. I don’t rinse it off. What it actually helped with: Uneven tone – My cheeks had some mild discoloration from old acne marks. They faded faster than usual. Texture – It gently exfoliates, so my skin feels much softer and looks smoother. Breakouts – It doesn’t prevent them entirely, but it definitely helps keep pores cleaner and reduces those little under-the-skin bumps. What to watch out for: It’s strong. I wouldn’t recommend this every day right out of the gate—especially if you have sensitive skin. Start with 2–3x per week at night. Can dry you out if overused, especially around the mouth and nose. I always follow with a good moisturizer. Sun sensitivity is real. You must use sunscreen during the day while using this, or you’re just undoing the benefits. Oh, and a little secret? People use this on their underarms, knees, and even for keratosis pilaris (those little bumps on arms). It’s not officially for that, but it works. ... show more

  • Great for Brightening and Smoothing Underarms!
Size: 3.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I started using The Ordinary Glycolic Acid for my dark underarms after hearing so many good things, and I’m honestly impressed with the results. With consistent use a few times a week, I noticed my skin looking much brighter and smoother. It also helped with texture and made my underarms feel fresher overall. I like that it’s affordable, easy to apply with a cotton pad, and a little goes a long way. Definitely a staple in my skincare routine now! ... show more

  • Noticeable Results in Just a Few Weeks!
Size: 3.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using this serum consistently every night, and I can honestly say it works. My scalp feels healthier, and I’ve started noticing new baby hairs around my hairline after just 3–4 weeks. It’s lightweight, non-greasy, and leaves no residue. Highly recommend if you're dealing with thinning hair or want to support growth, just be consistent and patient! ... show more

  • Can be used anywhere on the body
Size: 3.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Was in the market for a good chemical exfoliant, and this product has exceeded my expectations. I use this product at night, it feels a little sticky as it's settling in to the skin, but when I wake up in the morning, my skin is sooo soft and supple. It's lovely. Doesn't really have a smell, little goes a long way. It doesn't irritated my skin, but I will use it for 3 nights, take a few mights office. My skin texture is improving, and skin tone is evening out. I also use a little on my arm pits and it's been a huge help with the BO I've had since having my baby. Highly recommend. ... show more

  • Holy grail toner!
Size: 3.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% for a few months now, and the results have been amazing. My skin looks brighter, smoother, and more even in tone. I had some texture issues and dullness, and this toner really helped bring my skin back to life. It’s strong enough to be effective but still gentle enough for regular use (I use it once or twice a week only). I love that it’s budget-friendly without compromising on quality. If you're looking for an affordable exfoliating toner that actually works, this one is a total win. Just be sure to wear sunscreen, because it does increase sun sensitivity. ... show more

  • Glowing Results Without the Price Tag
Size: 8.11 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I wasn’t expecting much when I picked up The Ordinary Glycolic Acid, but now it’s officially earned permanent real estate in my skincare lineup. After a few weeks of using it 2–3 times a week at night, my skin is noticeably smoother, brighter, and just... fresher. It gently exfoliates without burning or drying me out (as long as you don’t overdo it — this stuff is strong), and it’s made a huge difference with dullness and uneven texture. Bonus: It’s helped with stubborn ingrown hairs and rough patches on my arms too. Multi-tasking for the win. If you’re looking for real results without dropping spa-level money, this is a must-try. Just be sure to follow with sunscreen during the day — your fresh new skin will thank you. ... show more
