The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution

The Ordinary's Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution is a popular chemical exfoliant that smooths skin texture, brightens tone, and boosts radiance by gently removing dead skin cells with 7% glycolic acid, an AHA, plus soothing Tasmanian Pepperberry and aloe vera, best used at night for its sun-sensitizing effects, improving clarity and reducing fine lines with regular use. It's a water-based toner suitable for daily PM use, though beginners should start slowly (2-3 times a week) to build tolerance, avoiding use on compromised skin and always applying sunscreen.
