The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner

Key Details and Benefits: Exfoliation: Formulated with a 7% concentration of glycolic acid (an alpha hydroxy acid or AHA), it gently removes dead skin cells to reveal a brighter, smoother complexion.

• Soothing Ingredients: The formula includes a studied Tasmanian Pepperberry derivative, ginseng root, and aloe vera to help reduce irritation and provide soothing benefits often associated with acid use.
• Multi-Use: Beyond the face, it can be applied to the scalp to help rebalance hydration and reduce dryness, or on the body to target rough/bumpy skin and ingrown hairs. Reviewers have also noted its effectiveness in reducing underarm odor.
• Formula: It is a liquid, pH-balanced (around 3.6), and free from alcohol, oil, and fragrance. 

How to Use:Apply after cleansing, saturating a cotton pad, and sweeping across the face and neck, avoiding the eye area. Do not rinse off.

• Use once daily in the evening, or 2-3 times a week if you are new to direct acids.
• Avoid use on sensitive, peeling, or compromised skin.
• Do not combine with other strong retinoids or direct acids in the same routine.
• Due to increased sun sensitivity from AHAs, use sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and limit sun exposure while using this product and for a week afterward.
