The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution

This lightweight, water-based solution gently removes dead skin cells and brightens dull, uneven skin—revealing a smoother, fresher complexion with regular use.

What It Does

• ✨ Exfoliates dead skin cells for smoother skin
• 🔬 Improves uneven tone and texture
• 🌿 Brightens dull, tired-looking skin
• 💧 Hydrates and refreshes with a blend of botanicals

How It Works

• 7% Glycolic Acid: An alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that gently loosens bonds between dead skin cells to reveal fresher skin beneath.
• Botanical Extracts (Aloe Vera, Ginseng, Tasmanian Pepperberry): Soothing, antioxidant-rich ingredients help calm and protect skin.
• Water-Based Formula: Lightweight and fast-absorbing for comfortable daily use.

How to Use

1. Apply once daily, ideally in the PM, to a cotton pad and sweep across the face and neck after cleansing.
2. Avoid the eye area.
3. Follow with moisturizer.
4. Use daily broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day, as AHAs increase sun sensitivity.

Note: Start slowly to assess tolerance, especially if new to chemical exfoliants.
