The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner | 240ml

Achieve smoother, brighter, and clearer skin with The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner (240ml). Formulated with 7% Glycolic Acid, this powerful yet gentle exfoliating toner effectively removes dull, dead skin cells, unclogs congested pores, and refines uneven skin texture.

Unlike harsh scrubs, The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner uses AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) technology to promote gentle skin resurfacing, leaving your complexion soft, radiant, and refreshed. The inclusion of Tasmanian Pepperberry extract helps reduce irritation often associated with acid use, while Aloe Vera provides soothing hydration and Ginseng Root Extract enhances radiance and skin vitality.

Perfect for dull, congested, or uneven skin, this toner is a must-have step in your evening skincare routine for a visibly healthier glow.

FAQ

Q: Can I use The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toner every day?
A: It can be used once daily in the evening. If you are new to exfoliating acids, start 2–3 times per week and increase gradually as tolerated.

Q: Is this toner suitable for sensitive skin?
A: Sensitive skin types should patch-test first. The Tasmanian Pepperberry and Aloe Vera help minimize irritation, but glycolic acid can still cause sensitivity.

Q: Can I use this with retinol or vitamin C?
A: It’s best not to use glycolic acid in the same routine as direct retinoids or pure vitamin C to avoid irritation.

Q: Does it help with acne?
A: Yes, by exfoliating and unclogging pores, it can help reduce breakouts, blackheads, and congestion over time.

Q: Do I need sunscreen when using this toner?
A: Absolutely. Glycolic acid increases skin sensitivity to the sun, so daily sunscreen is essential.
