The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner, 100 ml
The Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner is a potent Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) treatment that provides gentle yet effective surface exfoliation. Formulated at a pH of approximately 3.6 to maximize efficacy with minimal irritation, this water-based toner works to improve skin clarity and balance uneven tone. With regular use, it significantly refines skin texture and boosts radiance. Enriched with a Tasmanian Pepperberry derivative and Ginseng root, it helps to soothe the skin and reduce the potential for redness or sensitivity typically associated with acid use.
Features
- 7% Glycolic Acid: A high-purity AHA that breaks down the bonds of dead skin cells to reveal smoother, brighter skin underneath.
- Tasmanian Pepperberry: A botanical extract that helps reduce the irritation often caused by chemical exfoliation.
- Ginseng Root & Aloe Vera: A soothing duo that provides visible radiance and calming benefits to the skin barrier.
- Optimal pH Balance: Formulated at ~3.6 to ensure the acid is active enough to work without causing unnecessary damage to the skin mantle.
Benefits
- Instant Radiance: Sweeps away the "gray" veil of dead skin to reveal a lit-from-within glow after just one application.
- Texture Refinement: Smooths out small bumps, "chicken skin" (keratosis pilaris), and rough patches for a velvety finish.
- Pore Clarity: Helps to keep pores clear of debris, reducing the occurrence of blackheads and surface congestion.
- Even Skin Tone: Fades the appearance of post-acne marks and sun-induced discoloration over time.
Package Contents: 100 ml (3.38 oz) bottle with a precision twist-top applicator.
Recommended Usage
- Application: Use no more than once daily, ideally in the evening after cleansing.
- Technique: Saturate a cotton pad and sweep across the face and neck, avoiding the eye contour and contact with eyes. Do not rinse.
- Sun Protection: Glycolic acid increases sun sensitivity. SPF is mandatory every morning while using this product and for one week after.
- Pro Tip (The "Body Glow" Hack): This toner isn't just for the face! Use it on your heels to soften calluses, on your underarms to help neutralize odor-causing bacteria, or on the backs of arms to treat "strawberry skin" (KP).
The Ordinary – The Gold Standard of Acids
- Alcohol & Oil-Free: A clean, water-light formula that doesn't leave a sticky or greasy residue.
- Vegan & Cruelty-Free: Formulated without animal-derived ingredients or testing.
- High Potency: This is a "direct acid" treatment; start by using it 2-3 times a week if you are new to chemical exfoliants.
