The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner (100mL) – Authentic Canadian Import

Boost radiance, smooth rough skin texture, and restore clarity with authentic The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner (100mL). Directly imported from Canada, this multi-benefit chemical exfoliant is formulated with 7% Glycolic Acid (AHA), soothing Tasmanian Pepperberry, Ginseng Root, and Aloe Vera to gently dissolve dead surface cells, unblock pores, and uncover 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 targets surface dullness through an advanced chemical resurfacing matrix:

7% Glycolic Acid (AHA): Possesses the smallest molecular size among Alpha Hydroxy Acids, allowing it to penetrate the outer epidermal layer to break down the ionic bonds holding dead cells together, accelerating natural cell shedding.

Tasmanian Pepperberry Redness Buffer: Infused with a specialized botanical derivative to counteract potential stinging or irritation and actively soothe acid-induced redness.

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.

Ginseng Root & Aloe Vera Complex: Calms skin tissue, provides light surface hydration, and boosts natural luminosity.

Key Performance Benefits & Resurfacing Action

Promotes Cellular Renewal: Sweeps away dead skin buildup to reveal a smoother, brighter, and clearer skin tone.

Refines Texture & Pores: Smooths surface roughness, reduces clogging, and improves overall skin clarity.

Multi-Body Versatility: Highly effective for refining facial texture, brightening dark underarms, softening rough elbows and knees, or clarifying dead skin buildup on the scalp.

Clean Clinical Standards: 100% Vegan, cruelty-free, alcohol-free, oil-free, silicone-free, gluten-free, and fragrance-free.

100% Authentic Canadian Import: Packaged in a travel-friendly 100mL bottle with a precise nozzle dispenser under strict DECIEM quality control standards.

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.

Precautions: Not recommended for sensitive, peeling, or compromised skin barriers. Avoid combining with direct acids, retinoids, or direct Vitamin C in the same routine.

How to Use

Step 1 (Cleanse & Dry): Cleanse face thoroughly and pat completely dry.

Step 2 (Apply): Use once daily, preferably in the evening. Saturate a cotton pad or dispense directly into hands and sweep gently across face and neck, avoiding the eye contour and contact with eyes. Do not rinse off.

Step 3 (Layer Skincare): Allow 1 to 2 minutes to absorb, then follow with your hydrating serums, treatments, and moisturizer.
