Description

What does Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner do for the skin? The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution is an exfoliating toner designed to remove dead skin cells, promoting appearance of a brighter, more even skin tone. This formulation helps improve skin texture, reducing the appearance of fine lines. How often should I use Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner? The Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution can be used once daily ideally in your PM routine. If you are new to chemical exfoliants or direct acids, it’s recommended to start with 2-3 times a week, slowly increasing frequency as your skin builds tolerance. Can I use Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner with other acids or retinoids? Do not use the Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution with other direct acids (like salicylic acid) or strong retinoids in the same routine, as it increases the risk of irritation. Alternate or use one set of formulations in the AM and the other in the PM. Is Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner suitable for all skin types? We do not recommend using this formulation on sensitive, peeling, or compromised skin. If you have concerns about sensitivity, consider doing a patch test before full application. What precautions should I take when using The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner? The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution contains an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that can increase your skin's sensitivity and put you at risk of sunburn. Sunscreen or limiting sun exposure is strongly recommended while using this formulation. Glycolic Acid Milky Toner AHA 30% + BHA 2% Salicylic Acid Lactic Acid 10% + HA 2% Azelaic Acid Suspension

  • 🔮 Mystical...MAGICAL 🪄
Size: 8.11 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Believe the hype! It's true! I read about this on BuzzFeed. Then I read through the copious reviews singing this products praises. I have used & continue to use many Ordinary products (hyaluronic acid & niacinamide) and have found that they do a commendable job for the price. So marrying the fantastic reviews with the great brand meant that trying this glycolic acid was a no-brainer. The bottle is substantially larger than the other Ordinary products. The top can be adjusted to dispense the perfect amount of product. The directions say to use a cotton vall or clean hands. I opted for my hands to reduce waste in both product and cotton balls. While the product didn't affect my hands, I can say that I felt a mild tingling on my freshly cleansed face. I felt that there was definitely some positive impact happening! I followed with my favorite retinol, snail serum and then a PM moisturizer. I repeated this routine for about 3 days when my neighbor remarked how fresh and dewy my skin appeared. Why, thank you! So of course I ran inside after our convo to see what she was seeing...DAAAANG! Now for true and genuine reference, I'm not trying to reverse aging. I might be trying to slow the process but I'm not a cosmetic procedure gal - NOT THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG with that!! NO judgement on my part. I have crazy skin after my child was born; cystic acne, melasma, fresh wrinkles and laugh lines. Thee literal and figurative trifecta of facial derm issues 🫩😮💨 It is what it is. I should probably see a dermatologist for a retinol Rx but...time and money... So when husband remarked (that same day, no less) about how my skin was glowing, I knew that it HAD to be the direct result of this amazing, effective product! It was the only thing I changed! My DEEP forehead wrinkles aren't gone. Steamrolling wouldn't take those bad boys out...but they are definitely softened. And my splotchy melasma? Reduced substantially! The LaRoche Posay Mela B3 didn't reduce the spots like this glycolic acid did (though, in retrospect, this may have helped the absorption of the B3? 🤔) Regardless, I think that this product is a worthwhile try for healthy, glowing skin. ❗️EWG rated this a 3 on their website, btw! ... show more

  • Noticeably Smoother, Brighter Skin
Size: 8.11 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner has become a staple in my skincare routine. After just a few uses, my skin felt smoother, looked brighter, and had a more even tone. It gently exfoliates without leaving my skin feeling stripped or overly dry when used as directed. I also appreciate that a little goes a long way, making the bottle a great value. If you're looking for an effective exfoliating toner to improve skin texture and boost radiance, this is definitely worth trying. ... show more

  • Useful in many areas
Size: 8.11 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have very fair, delicate skin and this has made such a difference with postpartum discoloration, especially on my underarms and groin area. It helped even out my complexion much faster than I expected and my skin looks so much brighter and smoother now. It does sting a little when you apply it, but that’s normal since it’s exfoliating, and the feeling doesn’t last long. A little goes a long way, so the bottle lasts forever. I use it consistently a few nights a week and have noticed a huge improvement in both texture and skin tone. If you’re dealing with postpartum skin changes or stubborn dark areas, this has been one of the most effective products I’ve tried. ... show more

  • Effective Toner for Smoother, Brighter-Looking Skin
Size: 3.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner has been a very impressive addition to my skincare routine. I like that it feels simple, affordable, and effective without making the routine complicated. The formula is lightweight, easy to apply, and a little goes a long way, so the bottle lasts a good amount of time. What I noticed most is how much smoother my skin started to feel with consistent use. It helps remove that dull, rough feeling on the surface and gives the skin a cleaner, more refreshed look. My skin tone also started looking more even over time, especially in areas that looked a little dull or uneven before. I also appreciate that it works for more than just the face. It can be useful for areas like the neck, elbows, underarms, or body texture concerns, as long as it is used carefully and not overdone. Since it is an exfoliating toner, I prefer using it at night and following with moisturizer so my skin does not feel dry. The texture is watery and absorbs quickly without leaving a sticky or heavy layer. It may tingle slightly at first, but for me, that was manageable and expected with glycolic acid. Overall, this is a great exfoliating toner for smoother, brighter, and more even-looking skin. It delivers noticeable results with consistent use and feels like excellent value for the price. Five stars! ... show more

  • Perfect for getting clear skin
Size: 3.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is great for my skin, I actually don’t use a face lotion anymore, I only use glycolic acid and my skin has no blemishes. I’ve been solely using this for my face for 3 months. It’s also pregnancy safe for that’s a huge plus! I really recommend it, it’s great for the price, one bottle lasts me about 2 months. It’s great for clearing up any stubborn bumps and spots/ discoloration. ... show more

Size: 3.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
i bought it because i have crazy strawberry skin and tbh, i see a positive difference on my skin. my skin looks more smoother and has way less hypopigmentation than before. i used it for a month on and off, but the results are nice. my strawberry skin didn’t completely go away but it’s faded to where it looks nicer when i wear shorts. it helped my arms more than my legs tbh. also ps. don’t put this on after shaving… lol. it burns. ... show more

  • Healing my skin
Size: 8.11 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have had eczema/ contact dermatitis on my body and really bad for the past two years on the back of my ankle , it hurt and was so itchy every single day it was inflamed. I have used this for exactly five days and I can’t believe it has almost totally gone away. I’m shocked. I read reviews saying how good this was for healing skin but I’m beyond amazed. No more red and inflamed itchy skin. Not to mention my face looks great. I’ve always had problems with blemishes on my chin and they are almost gone. This is a great product. I also never give reviews but considering how great this is and how amazing it works I had to tell about it! ... show more

  • Oily Skin and Strong BO Destroyer!
Size: 8.11 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I am so glad this is so reasonably priced - for how powerful and effective this product is, I can't believe it's so inexpensive! I learned about this stuff from a Reddit thread on how to mitigate strong BO. I've had huge hormonal shifts since having a baby and having thyroid issues, and even clinical strength deodorant wasn't cutting it anymore. Someone on a Reddit thread said they applied this to the under arms and then would apply deodorant, so I tried it and it WORKED! I was so impressed at how quickly it killed my strong body odor, that I decided to try its other applications. I started incorporating it into my face cleanse at night. The first couple of times I put it on my face, it did sting. I have sensitive skin so I almost stopped using it, but very quickly, it stopped stinging (maybe 3 days?). I had a seriously bad breakout after a few days and thought it caused it, but then read with chemical exfoliation, what's lying under the other skin layers comes up and is then cleansed. After this initial flare up, my skin calmed down and it has been the clearest I've seen it since hitting puberty. I have very oily skin and have been dealing with recurrent acne every Summer, even in my mid-thirties. This is the ONLY thing that has consistently made my skin clear. My skin cannot "get used to it" like with other skin care products, it just works. If you have oily, acne prone skin, strong BO, or build up on your scalp, this may be your game changing product like it has been for me! ... show more
