The Ordinary Toner – 7% glycolic acid

Description

Sky up your skincare routine with The Ordinary Glycolic Acid Toner, formulated with 7% glycolic acid. Its lightweight, water-like formula helps remove dull surface buildup and supports a smoother, more even-looking complexion.

Glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that works on the skin’s surface to loosen dead skin cells. With regular and appropriate use, this exfoliating toner can help improve the appearance of rough texture, lack of radiance, and uneven-looking skin.

Why Choose It?

This soothing facial toner is a practical choice for those looking to add chemical exfoliation to their skincare routine without a complicated formula. The 7% glycolic acid concentration provides exfoliating action while the simple liquid format makes it easy to incorporate into an established routine.

It can be used on the face as well as suitable body areas such as elbows, knees, and other regions where rough or uneven-looking texture is a concern.

How to Use

Apply a small amount to clean, dry skin using a cotton pad or your hands, avoiding the eye area. Do not rinse. If you are new to glycolic acid, start gradually rather than using it too frequently.

If you go out during the day, specially when the sun is bright, you should use a suitable sunscreen to avoid exfoliating acids. Avoid applying it to irritated, peeling, or compromised skin. It is also advisable to perform a patch test before introducing the product into your routine.

Important Note for The Ordinary Toner

Glycolic acid is an active exfoliating ingredient and may not suit every skin type. Avoid combining multiple strong exfoliating products in the same routine unless you know your skin can tolerate them. Always follow the product directions and introduce active ingredients gradually.
