The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner 240ml

Product Highlights

• 7% Glycolic Acid: An optimized alpha hydroxy acid that gently exfoliates the skin surface to reveal smoother, fresher skin underneath.
• Calibrated pH Balance: Formulated with a precise pH of approximately 3.6, matching the acid's pKa value for maximum efficacy with reduced risk of surface irritation.
• Tasmanian Pepperberry Derivative: A plant-derived extract that helps soothe the skin and counteracts the temporary irritation often associated with acid exfoliation. 
• Soothing Botanicals: Infused with Aloe Vera Leaf Water and Ginseng Root Extract to provide visible surface hydration, softness, and comfort.
• Multi-Zone Versatility: Safe for use on the face, neck, body, and scalp to combat dryness and smooth rough textures.

Key Benefits

• Visibly Smooths Textural Irregularities: Effectively targets rough patches, uneven areas, and fine lines for a supple, refined appearance.
• Enhances Luminous Radiance: Dissolves dulling buildup to improve overall skin clarity and uneven tone.
• Scalp Balance Support: When applied directly to the hair roots, it significantly reduces dryness and rebalances the scalp's moisture barrier.
• Multi-Body Care: Ideal for smoothing rough textures on the body, such as targeted application on dry elbows, knees, or heels.

Suitable For

• Skin Types: Suitable for normal, dry, combination, and oily skin types.
• Skin Concerns: Dullness, uneven tone, surface texture irregularities, and dry or flaky scalps.
• Contraindications: Do not use on highly sensitive, peeling, broken, or compromised skin barriers. 

How to Use

• For the Face & Neck: Apply once daily, preferably in your evening routine. After cleansing, saturate a cotton pad or pour directly into your palms and sweep gently across the face and neck, avoiding the immediate eye area. Do not rinse off. Follow with your favorite hydrating serums and moisturizer.
• For the Scalp: Tilt your head back and use the targeted applicator tip to dispense the liquid directly onto dry scalp areas 2–3 times per week. Massage gently into the roots and do not rinse out; follow with your regular styling routine.
• Sunburn Alert: This product contains an Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) that may increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun. Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen in the morning during use and for one week afterward.
• Routine Pairing Tip: To preserve your skin barrier, avoid mixing this toner in the same application window as Retinoids, Vitamin C, Copper Peptides, or other direct facial acids.
