The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toning Solution 240 ml

The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution is a daily exfoliating toner containing 7% glycolic acid alongside aloe vera, ginseng and Tasmanian pepperberry. Used in the evening, it helps improve skin radiance, clarity and texture. Supplied in a 240 ml bottle.

What is Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution?

It is a water-based toning solution built around glycolic acid — the smallest-molecule alpha hydroxy acid — for gentle surface exfoliation. It is applied after cleansing and before the rest of an evening routine.

What is it used for?

• Exfoliating the surface layer of dead skin cells.
• Improving skin radiance and a brighter overall appearance.
• Helping even out skin texture and improve clarity.
• Reducing the look of dull, uneven skin.
• Preparing the skin so subsequent steps absorb more effectively.

How does glycolic acid work?

Glycolic acid loosens the bonds between dead cells in the outermost skin layer, speeding up surface renewal to reveal smoother, fresher skin. The included Tasmanian pepperberry helps reduce the irritation that can accompany acid use.

Key Ingredients

• Glycolic Acid 7% – an alpha hydroxy acid for surface exfoliation.
• Aloe Vera Extract – a soothing ingredient.
• Ginseng Root Extract – a botanical widely used in radiance formulations.
• Tasmanian Pepperberry (Tasmannia Lanceolata) – helps reduce acid-related irritation.

Key Features

• 7% concentration suited to regular evening use.
• Oil-free, alcohol-free and silicone-free.

• Generous 240 ml bottle that lasts.
• A single, easy step to add to a PM routine.
