The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner is a daily water-based toning solution designed to improve the look of skin texture, clarity, and radiance. Formulated with a low-molecular-weight Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA), it efficiently targets dead skin cells on the surface to reveal a smoother, more even-toned appearance.

About the Product

This multi-functional liquid exfoliant goes beyond traditional facial care. While it effectively exfoliates the face to brighten the skin’s appearance and reduce the look of fine lines, clinical testing has also confirmed its benefits for the scalp. When applied to the scalp, it helps rebalance the skin, reduce dryness, and provide essential hydration.

Key Features & Benefits

• Surface Exfoliation: Utilizes 7% Glycolic Acid to dissolve the bonds holding dead skin cells together, promoting the natural skin renewal process.
• Improves Skin Texture: Regular use helps smooth rough patches and refine textural irregularities.
• Enhances Radiance: Targets dullness to reveal a brighter, healthier-looking complexion.
• Scalp Support: Clinically shown to hydrate and rebalance dry scalps.

How to Use on the Face

Use ideally in the evening, no more than once daily. After cleansing and on dry skin, apply the toner to a cotton pad or your fingers and sweep across the face and neck, avoiding the eye contour area. Do not rinse off. Allow the toner to fully absorb before applying serums and moisturizers. A slight tingling sensation is common. Important: Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen the following morning, as AHAs can increase the skin’s sensitivity to the sun.

How to Use on the Scalp

To use as a scalp exfoliant, tilt your head back and use the dispensing nozzle to gently apply the product onto a dry scalp. Massage well. Do not rinse off. This treatment can be used up to three times per week.
