The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner, Brightening and Smoothing Daily Toner for More Even-Looking Skin Tone

I use this both on my face and my scalp, and it’s surprisingly versatile. On my face, it gives almost instant brightening when my skin looks dull or congested. There's no scent, which I always appreciate! On my scalp, it helps loosen buildup and reduce dandruff by exfoliating away dead skin. To be honest, this is really what I bought it for. The pointed applicator tip makes it much easier to apply directly along part lines, which is a huge plus. It feels targeted instead of messy. This is a strong exfoliating solution, so it’s not something I use daily. It contains a high concentration of exfoliants, so patch testing is important, and sunscreen is a must if you’re using it on your face. It can tingle, especially if your skin barrier is not in great shape. :( One thing I love about this product is that the bottle is GIGANTIC. I use a little at a time, so I know one bottle is going to last me years, likely. It's also relatively cheap, like most the ordinary products are, so unlike pricier brands, I don't have to try and ration it :P Overall, it’s an effective resurfacing product with noticeable results, just use thoughtfully and don’t overdo it.

I've been using The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner daily, and it's quickly become a staple in my skincare routine. This toner delivers gentle yet noticeable exfoliating that leaves my skin looking brighter and feeling much smoother. This Toner gives greats results for the price point, helping brighten, smooth, and refresh my skin without stripping it. Highly recommended for anyone looking to gently exfoliate and improve texture!

I was nervous to try this l product because I have very sensitive skin and don't usually use acids. However, as my skin's needs changed, the fair price point made me finally give it a try—and I am so glad I did! • ​Gentle & Effective: I apply it directly with my fingers and feel only a slight tingle—no harsh burning or irritation at all. • ​Great Texture: It has no harsh smell or tacky residue and absorbs quickly so I can apply my other products right away. • ​Real Results: Since starting this, my skin feels softer, brighter, and more even. It has even helped fade dark spots and keeps my hormonal acne under control. • ​Pro Tip: I use it only at night; I found it felt a bit heavy under morning makeup, but once a day is perfect and hasn't caused any dryness. ​Everything came exactly as pictured. I’ve already repurchased this multiple times and highly recommend it!

I have found Glycolic Acid to be a deeper exfoliant than other acids. It eliminates dead cells on the surface of my face and really helps to brighten my complexion. I have also found It to be effective in reducing my wrinkles and fine lines (I am 80 years old). I use it once every three days (twice a week) as I do not want to irritate my skin. I always follow it with a moisturizer and sunscreen of at least 50. I cannot believe that this bottle is 8.1 oz. and only cost $14.85. This bottle should easily last me over a year. The Ordinary has done it again! What a great company!

I’ve been using this 7% glycolic acid for just a week, and so far it’s very easy to apply on areas like the neck and elbows. It’s recommended to use it three times a week at night, and it’s important to remove it before sun exposure, as it can make your skin more sensitive. After applying, it’s best to keep the skin hydrated—moisturizer works well, and sunscreen can also be used if you’re going out during the day. Of course, it takes some time to see results, and every skin type is different, but with consistency, you can notice improvements. So far, I really like it; it feels lightweight and effective.

I’ve been using this toner for over a week and I can definitely see a difference in my skin. It feels smoother and looks a bit brighter. At first I was a bit careful because glycolic acid can be a little strong, but my skin got used to it. It doesn’t have a strong smell and the bottle will last a long time. Just make sure to use sunscreen during the day because it can make your skin a bit sensitive to the sun. Overall, super good for the price.

I’ve been using The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner (Brightening) in my skincare routine for a few weeks now, and honestly, it has made a noticeable difference in my complexion. From the first few uses, I could tell my skin felt smoother and looked more radiant. This toner gently exfoliates without irritating my skin — which is amazing because I have sensitive areas around my cheeks and T-zone. It helps remove dull, dead skin cells and reveals a brighter, more even tone. I love that it’s strong enough to deliver real results (thanks to the 7% glycolic acid) but still gentle enough to use regularly. It doesn’t leave my skin feeling tight or dry; instead, it preps my skin perfectly for serums and moisturizers afterward. The formula feels lightweight and refreshing, and a few drops on a cotton pad glide easily over my face. I also appreciate that it’s free of unnecessary fragrances, which makes it more comfortable for daily use without irritation. Since adding this toner to my routine, I’ve noticed fewer clogged pores and a smoother overall texture — and that glow? Definitely there. If you’re looking to brighten your complexion, refine your skin texture, and achieve that “fresh skin” feeling, this toner is worth trying. Highly recommend! ✨

I’ve been using Glycolic Acid 7% for a while now, and it’s honestly a game changer. It gently exfoliates my skin, helps smooth out rough texture, and gives me that fresh, healthy glow without being too harsh. I noticed my skin looking brighter and more even over time, and it also helps reduce dark spots and clogged pores. I love that it’s effective but still gentle enough when used properly. A little goes a long way, and consistency is key. If you’re looking to improve skin texture, dullness, or uneven tone, this is definitely worth adding to your skincare routine

Je n'avais pas confiance dans le produit, je l'utilise depuis un mois et il m'a fait disparaître les taches sur mon visage. Je le recommande

I bought it for my husband to use on his underarms, and it effectively reduced his odour. Usually, he smells when he comes home from his morning walks, but after two weeks of regular use, the odour is nearly gone. He applies it every other day after showering.

It really helps in treating itchy scalp n dandruff.

Very good

I use this in many ways. I use it to clean my armpits, clean my scalp and elbows. This is definitely worth the buy!
