The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner

Unlock a smoother skin texture and reduce fine lines with regular use of this water-based toner, featuring 7% glycolic acid – a proven alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) known to loosen bonds between dead skin cells to encourage their removal from your body.

It also contains plant extracts like Tasmanian Pepperberry, aloe vera and ginseng root for optimal skin nourishment. Use daily after cleansing and avoid contact with eyes.

Key Features of Glycolic Acid 7%:-

Water-based exfoliating toner formulated with glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that effectively exfoliates dead skin cells for smoother complexion and may help reduce hyperpigmentation with regular use.

This formulation includes Tasmanian Pepperberry extract to moisturize dry skin, as well as Ginseng root extract which soothes it after acid exfoliation. With a pH rating of 3.6 (the pKa for glycolic acid is also 3.6), this solution has been calibrated for maximum effectiveness without irritation to ensure maximum effectiveness while not irritating skin.

The Ordinary’s glycolic acid toner is one of the more cost-effective options on the market. Available for under $10 for an 8.1 fl. oz bottle, this exfoliating toner does everything expected from it and more! Many are also fond of Pixi Beauty Glow Tonic which also uses glycolic acid. Both options work great when combined with other skincare products containing retinols.

Benefits of Exfoliating Toner:-

Glycolic acid belongs to the Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) family and works by dissolving glue that holds dead skin cells together, allowing them to shed from your complexion more easily. Glycolic acid can especially benefit those with oily or combination skin types as it helps reduce sebum production while unclogging pores, unplugging them faster, reducing hyperpigmentation, unevenness of tone and hyperpigmentation over time. Regular usage will help improve these areas.

An all-purpose solution, it has long been utilized by users looking for ways to soothe skin irritations, smooth the texture, and promote radiant beauty. Many users report seeing more even complexion after using it regularly. Furthermore, it can also be an excellent treatment option for treating keratosis pilaris when combined with other keratolytic ingredients such as lactic acid or salicylic acid.

As with other The Ordinary products, it is wise to avoid applying this product on sensitive or peeling skin and adhere to sun protection advice, due to increased sensitization after application. A patch test should also be completed prior to full usage.

Ingredients in The Ordinary Serums:-

Glycolic Acid is an AHA used to exfoliate skin and unclog blocked pores, while simultaneously reducing oil, redness and promoting a brighter complexion. Tasmanian Pepperberry acts as an anti-irritation ingredient when applied directly onto acidic products; additionally it has an adjustable pH level for daily use.

The Ordinary’s formulation of AHA 7 Whitehead Power Liquid is very similar, except it contains more hydrating formula with ginseng instead of niacinamide. Although not an exact dupe, The Ordinary does offer an ideal alternative if you are looking to incorporate glycolic acid exfoliants into their skin care regime. Simply soak a cotton pad with this exfoliator after cleansing and before moisturizing – avoid eye area for maximum effectiveness; for optimal results apply once daily or every other night.

Budget Friendly:-

As a water-based toner, this product is easy to include into your skincare regimen. The glycolic acid present helps remove dead skin cells and unclog pores – leading to brightening, smoothing and evening out of skin tone.

This product also contains botanical extracts and aloe vera to soothe skin conditions, and boasts a 7% concentration of glycolic acid, an AHA known to exfoliate surface skin layers.

Toner can also be applied directly to the scalp, providing relief for dry skin conditions and helping balance pH levels in armpits – this means less sweaty armpits with reduced smelly sweat! Users have raved about it on TikTok as an alternative deodorant solution – thanks to lowering pH levels so armpit sweat doesn’t accumulate so easily and doesn’t produce as many odorous fumes!

The Ordinary products are both cruelty-free and budget-friendly, making them the perfect solution if you’re shopping around for a glycolic acid toner. Their Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution is available both at Sephora and online.
