The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner 100ml

Boost radiance, smooth rough skin texture, and restore clarity with The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner (100mL)—authentically imported from Canada. Formulated with 7% Glycolic Acid (AHA), soothing Tasmanian Pepperberry, Ginseng Root, and Aloe Vera, this multi-benefit chemical exfoliant gently dissolves dead surface cells, unblocks pores, and uncovers a smoother, more radiant complexion.

Corneocyte Desquamation & AHA Glycolic Acid Science:
When dead skin cells (corneocytes) build up on the stratum corneum due to slowed cellular turnover or excess sebum, the skin surface becomes rough, uneven, and unable to reflect light properly. The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner uses Glycolic Acid—the smallest molecular size Alpha Hydroxy Acid—which easily penetrates the outer skin layer to break down the ionic bonds holding dead cells together. By promoting cellular shedding, it reveals fresh, smooth skin underneath. To counteract potential stinging or irritation caused by acid exfoliation, the formula incorporates a botanical Tasmanian Pepperberry derivative alongside Aloe Vera and Ginseng Root to soothe inflammation and support long-term skin vitality.

Key Performance Benefits & Resurfacing Action:
• Authentic Quality Import: 100% genuine The Ordinary product imported directly from Canada in a 100mL clear bottle with nozzle dispenser.
• 7% Glycolic Acid (AHA): Concentrated Alpha Hydroxy Acid gently exfoliates surface cells to improve skin texture, fade dullness, and boost natural radiance.
• Tasmanian Pepperberry Soothing Complex: Botanical derivative reduces skin redness and counteracts potential irritation associated with acid use.
• Optimal pH Balance (~3.6): Formulated near Glycolic Acid's pKa value (~3.6) to maximize free acid availability for optimal exfoliation with minimal barrier disruption.
• Enriched with Ginseng & Aloe: Calms skin tissue, provides light hydration, and restores healthy-looking skin luminosity.
• Clean & Ethical Formulation: Vegan, cruelty-free, alcohol-free, oil-free, silicone-free, gluten-free, and fragrance-free.

Clean Care & Compatibility Standards:
• Suitable Skin Types: Best for normal, combination, oily, and mature skin types dealing with dullness, rough texture, or uneven skin tone. Not recommended for sensitive, peeling, or compromised skin.

How to Use:

Use once daily, preferably in the evening after cleansing.

Saturate a cotton pad with the toner and sweep gently across the face and neck, avoiding the eye contour and direct contact with eyes.

Do not rinse off. Follow with serums, treatments, and moisturizer.

Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, as AHAs increase skin sensitivity to the sun.
