The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner

Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner (previously Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution) is an exfoliator that significantly smoothes skin texture and promotes the appearance of a more even skin tone, as well as more luminous skin, with regular use. It also reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles. The water-based toner format is suited to daily use.

It contains a 7% concentration of Glycolic acid - a well-studied alpha-hydroxy acid - and a plant-derived Tasmanian Pepperberry derivative, which varies in colour seasonally, and which may cause an apparent colour variation in the formula from time to time.

Key Ingredients & Benefits

• 7% Glycolic Acid (AHA): Exfoliates the outermost skin layer to unclog pores, diminish fine lines, and fade hyperpigmentation.

• Tasmanian Pepperberry Derivative: Reduces skin redness and inflammation associated with acid application.

• Ginseng Root & Aloe Vera: Soothes sensitive skin while providing cellular hydration and restoring a healthy glow.

• Multi-Use Versatility: Works as a facial exfoliating toner, underarm tone-refiner, body smoothing treatment, and scalp-clarifying rinse.

How to Use

1. Facial Application: Use ideally in the evening. After cleansing, saturate a cotton pad and sweep across the face and neck, avoiding the eye contour and direct eye contact. Do not rinse off.

2. Frequency: Start by applying 2–3 times a week, gradually increasing to daily use if tolerated. Always follow with a moisturizer.

3. Soothing Care: Pair your post-exfoliation routine with a barrier-repairing moisturizer like the Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream.

4. Daytime Sun Protection: AHAs increase sun sensitivity. Always apply broad-spectrum sunscreen the following morning, such as the Plix Watermelon Dual Sunscreen SPF 50 or SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum.

5. Body Brightening: For dark body areas or friction-induced hyperpigmentation, follow up with targeted treatments like the S88 Total White Underarm Cream or the Precious Skin Alpha Arbutin 3 Plus Collagen Body Lotion.
