The Ordinary Glycolic acid Exfoliating toner

Product Description

This exfoliating toner is a powerful yet affordable skin-care treatment designed to refine skin texture, even out skin tone, and deliver a luminous, refreshed complexion. Formulated with a 7% concentration of glycolic acid (an AHA – alpha-hydroxy acid), it works by dissolving the bonds between dead skin cells, enabling their removal and revealing smoother, brighter skin.

Key features:

• Water-based toner format, making it lightweight and suitable for layering. Targets textural irregularities, dullness and uneven tone.

• Includes soothing, plant-derived extracts — notably Tasmanian Pepperberry derivative, aloe leaf water and ginseng root extract — to help reduce irritation that can accompany acid exfoliation. 

• Calibrated to a pH of approximately 3.6, which aligns with the acid’s pKa to maximise efficacy while balancing irritation risk. 

• Vegan, cruelty-free, silicone & oil-free and alcohol-free in many regions.
