The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner 240ml

The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner 240ml – Advanced AHA Toner for Smoother, Brighter & Even-Toned Skin

Discover one of the most iconic chemical exfoliators in modern skincare. The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner 240ml—previously known as the Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution—is a powerful yet carefully formulated AHA toner designed to transform your skin’s texture, tone, and radiance. With consistent use, this exfoliating toner helps reveal softer, smoother, and more luminous skin while reducing the look of fine lines, uneven tone, and rough texture.

Formulated with 7% glycolic acid, one of the most researched and effective alpha-hydroxy acids, it gently removes dead skin cells from the surface, helping your skin look healthier and more refined. Whether you’re targeting dullness, rough texture, enlarged pores, pigmentation, or early signs of aging, this daily-use toner is a highly effective solution that fits seamlessly into your nighttime routine.

⭐ What This Toner Does

This exfoliating toner helps with:

• Improving skin texture

• Enhancing luminosity

• Reducing fine lines and wrinkles

• Brightening uneven skin tone

• Smoothing rough or bumpy areas

• Hydrating and balancing scalp dryness

• Promoting overall skin radiance

By dissolving built-up dead skin cells, glycolic acid allows fresh, glowing skin to emerge. This helps your other skincare products absorb more effectively, improving your entire routine.

🌿 A Gentle Yet Effective Formula

The toner contains a Tasmanian Pepperberry derivative, a natural botanical that helps reduce irritation commonly associated with acid exfoliation. This calming ingredient may vary in colour depending on the harvest season—so you may notice changes in the toner’s colour from batch to batch. This variation is normal and does not affect the formula’s performance.

The product’s pH is approximately 3.6, which perfectly aligns with glycolic acid’s pKa of 3.6. Maintaining pKa close to pH ensures an ideal balance of acidity and salt form, allowing the acid to work effectively while minimizing irritation. This balance is what makes this toner both powerful and suitable for regular use.

⭐ Multi-Functional Benefits for Both Skin & Scalp

While most people use this toner on the face to brighten and exfoliate, it can also be applied to other areas of the body:

✔ For the Face

• Smooths fine lines

• Boosts radiance

• Visibly evens skin tone

• Clears away dull, dead skin

• Helps reduce pore congestion

✔ For the Scalp

• Reduces dryness

• Helps rebalance scalp pH

• Hydrates and exfoliates dead skin buildup

• Promotes a cleaner, healthier scalp environment

✔ For the Body

You can also apply this glycolic acid toner on rough areas such as:

• Underarms (to reduce pigmentation)

• Knees & elbows (to soften dryness)

• Back or shoulders

• Ingrown-prone areas

This makes it an impressively versatile exfoliator suitable for multiple concerns.

⭐ Important Usage Notes

This formula is not recommended for:

• Sensitive skin

• Compromised, peeling, or irritated skin

• Skin that is reactive to acids

Because glycolic acid increases sun sensitivity, you must apply broad-spectrum SPF every morning when using this toner in your routine.

For most users, applying it once per night is ideal. Reduce frequency if irritation occurs.
