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 2% Lactic Acid 10% + HA 2% Azelaic Acid Suspension Lactic Acid 5% + HA 2%

Great for scalp buildup and underarm odor
Size: 8.1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I didn't buy this just for my face. I've been using it on my scalp and underarms, and it's worked really well for both. On my scalp, it helped break down the product buildup and flakiness, so my scalp feels cleaner and my hair feels lighter. On my underarms, it exfoliates away the dead skin and residue that were trapping odor, and my pit smell has improved a lot. My underarms also feel smoother. I apply it with a cotton pad a few times a week, not daily. It can sting a little if your skin is sensitive or freshly shaved, so start slow and don't use it right after shaving. Definitely worth it for the price. Would buy again

🔮 Mystical...MAGICAL 🪄
Size: 8.1 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 ball 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...I should also be drinking FAR more water. I do use a daily mineral SPF and wear hats when I know I'll have prolonged sun exposure. 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 3/10 (lower numbers are favorable) on their website, btw! AND, from what I've read, it is safe to use during pregnancy so you know it's a legit product that is safe and effective🫶

Great for Smoother Skin
Size: 8.1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% has been a great addition to my skincare routine. I like that it helps improve the overall texture of my skin and leaves it feeling noticeably smoother and refreshed. It’s also versatile enough to use on areas beyond the face, which is a nice bonus. A little goes a long way, and the bottle lasts quite a while. Definitely a great option if you’re looking for an affordable exfoliating product!

A toner that helps aging, dry, acne prone skin fast!
Size: 8.1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I used this on my face before bed last night and wow! Woke up and my face was noticeable less dry and flakey, softer smoother. I had a massive sudden breakout due to menopausal hormones and I've fighting painful acne and blackheads on my chin. Using Salicylic face was and spot treatment was drying my face and making it looked cracked, angry, flaky,and leather like which was in turn causing my black heads. Added hyaluronic acid to moisturize and it helpped but wasn't enough. The Glycolic acid toner was the trick! My face looks better in one night tha it has in the past two weeks. Sold! I love The Ordinary products!

10/10 Recommend
Size: 8.1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using this for a long while and I love it. It exfoliates and tone wonderfully. It’s not harsh on my skin. It does have a smell but it’s not unbearable and for the effects it’s fine.

Great exfoliating toner
Size: 8.1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
“I’ve been using this toner for a while and I really like it. It leaves my skin feeling smoother and refreshed, and it helps improve the overall texture of my skin. It can be a little strong, so I recommend starting slowly if you have sensitive skin. Overall, a good product for exfoliating and keeping skin looking fresh.”

Really brightens
Size: 8.1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is an amazing product. I use it underneath my armpits and have noticed the change. I use it on my face as well and at first it stings a little but eventually that stunning goes away. Big bottle gets you the best buck for your purchase. Second time buying this and I will keep coming back!

WORKS FOR DARK SPOTS
Size: 8.1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I bought this a while back and was using it and then i had an issue with my face and i thought it was the product. Few months down the road i did a lot of research on improving my sun damaged skin. I went to the Dermatologist and she prescribed a cream for me. $50 for less than an oz. I was using a gentle toner in the interim and saw no difference. I figured since i had this instead of throwing it out I should try it again. Within 1 week of using this twice a day together with my prescription "dark spot remover" it worked to peel 1 layer of dead skin on my face. I had to "rest" my face for about 2 days from all my "harsh" products. It works but if your face starts stinging really bad stop 🛑 and rest it and then start again. It can cause hyperpigmentation. I had some old and new scars on my legs and i started using it together with my prescription dark spot remover also on them. They have now started to "lighten up" a little. My face has a "glow" to it now. I will continue to use this product until my scar dark spot marks are gone and then use it every other day on my face. i have posted pics of my scars on my legs. Hope this helps someone who is suffering the same dilemma.
