The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution 240ml
The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution is a powerful exfoliating toner formulated to improve skin clarity, texture, and radiance. This solution features 7% glycolic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from sugar cane, known for its ability to gently exfoliate the outer layer of dead skin cells. By encouraging skin cell turnover, this toner reveals smoother, brighter skin while helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines, uneven texture, and pigmentation.
In addition to glycolic acid, this toner is infused with Tasmanian Pepperberry, which helps to reduce irritation commonly associated with acid use. It also contains ginseng root extract, known for its radiance-boosting properties, and aloe vera, which soothes and hydrates the skin.
With regular use, The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution enhances skin luminosity, promotes even tone, and provides a fresh, revitalized complexion. It is ideal for individuals looking to incorporate a gentle chemical exfoliant into their routine for smoother, more radiant skin.

FAQs
How often should I use The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution?
Use the toner once daily in the evening, after cleansing. If you have sensitive skin, start with 2-3 times a week and gradually increase frequency as your skin builds tolerance.
Can I use this toner with other acids or active ingredients?
It’s best to avoid using this product with other strong exfoliants or active ingredients like retinol or Vitamin C, as combining them may increase irritation. Alternate days for these products is recommended.
Will this toner make my skin sensitive to the sun?
Yes, glycolic acid can increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun. It is important to apply sunscreen daily when using this product to protect your skin from UV damage.
Is this toner suitable for sensitive skin?
While the formula contains soothing ingredients like Tasmanian Pepperberry and aloe vera, glycolic acid can still be too strong for very sensitive or compromised skin. Start slowly and do a patch test to gauge your skin’s tolerance.
