The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution is a popular and potent exfoliating toner from the well-known Canadian skincare brand, The Ordinary. It is designed to improve skin clarity and texture over time.
General Description and Key Features
Exfoliating Formula: The main active ingredient is Glycolic Acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that exfoliates the skin's surface. It works by dissolving the bonds between dead skin cells, helping to remove them and reveal fresher, brighter skin underneath.
7% Concentration: The 7% concentration is an effective level for regular use (2-3 times per week, or as tolerated). This makes it more potent than a typical daily toner but still safe for consistent use.
pH Balanced: The formula is pH balanced (with a pH of approximately 3.6) to ensure the glycolic acid remains effective.
