The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution 240ml
Product Description
With 7% Glycolic Acid, Amino Acids, Aloe Vera, Ginseng and Tasmanian Pepperberry.
Glycolic Acid is an alpha hydroxyl acid that exfoliates the skin. This 7% toning solution offers mild exfoliation for improved skin radiance and visible clarity. The formula also improves the appearance of skin texture with continued use.
This formula contains a studied Tasmanian Pepperberry derivative to help reduce irritation associated with acid use. This derivative is of plant origin and varies in colour seasonally and this colour variation may be apparent in the formula from time to time. The formula is further supported with inclusion of ginseng root and aloe vera for both visible radiance and soothing benefits.
This pH of this formula is approximately 3.6. Glycolic Acid has a pKa of 3.6 and pKa is the most important aspect to consider in formulating with acids. pKa implies acid availability. When pKa is close to pH, there is an ideal balance between salt and acidity, maximising effectiveness of the acid and reducing irritation. Higher pH numbers in such a case would increase salt which counter-intuitively would make the formula even more irritating than if the formula was more acidic.
Alcohol-free, nut-free, vegan, gluten-free, soy-free.

Love this product!!!
(I got the set with the 240ml and 100ml)
Its really good i use it for my hair, skin and lips; when they get really cracked during the winter it healed them so quick. I havent noticed much difference with my hair, but my skin is really glowing however i have introduced some other products at the same time. Overall a very nice product.

Very effective
Bought my second bottle. This is so far the best glycolic acid toner I've used. Strong but gentle enough to use weekly, personally twice a week max. Learn how much you tolerate first and it should work flawlessly. Skin immediately clearer and texture reduced after first use. Can be drying so definitely moisturise after.

holy grail
i must have gotten through at least 20 of these toners, i use it every night and it's one of my holy grails. i suffer from very dry skin and so much millia/milk spots and this is the only thing which reduces them by a ton. i will say however it isn't hydrating (not sure if it is meant to be or not) so i do pair it with a hydrating toner (the tir tir milk toner) after and that seems to work really well. i will continue to repurchase this not only as it works but it's also very affordable for how long it lasts

A skin care must have!
I have been using this toner for over a year now and it is now a must have in my skin care routine. I use it on my face and underarms 3x a week.
It gives my skin a nice glow and keeps is soft and smooth.
It also helped lightened my underarms and improved it’s texture after I gave birth.

Staple
This is an essential product for me, used it for years for my face, body and scalp. Great for skin texture and leaves my complexion looking so much clearer. Must have in my skincare collection, just be careful not to overuse

not pleasing as i thought.
this is basically a chemical peel, it burns, and in my opinion does nothing. i tried it a few nights and it burned the hell out of my skin even though i didnt use a lot. i needed to use it for my closed comodones on my forehead likely mistakened for fungal acne. (i dont have acne so i didnt think it was it) for the price though i dont matter buying it really, it help with something i guess but not with my closed comodomes which i thought it will.

Can I use vitamin c on my skin after I use this toner ?
It's probably best not to. Because both are quite acidic, it may be too much to put both on your skin at the same time. You could perhaps use Vitamin C in AM and only use this toner in the PM. You should only really use this toner once a day.

What is this like for acne / acne prone skin breakouts / acne scars? Any good ??
I used to have incredibly bad acne but luckily it is much milder as I have gotten older. I find this a gentler way to exfoliate my skin without irritating it. I can't say for sure whether it makes a huge difference to my acne (it may or may not) however it has helped the texture and scarring of my teen acne tremendously!

Hiya Can this be used in conjunction with the vitamin c suspension formula? If so before or after? Thanks
I do use every night the glycolic acid first then vitamin c suspension.

Can I use this product with the lactic acid 10% + ha?
You can but I recommend you tolerate the lactic acid 10% first before cooperating both into your routine as it can be quite harsh

I would like to use this product alongside the Retinoid. Is that possible? The tinned would be used first right?
Hey there,
Using Retinol and Glycolic acid together is a little bit complicated, this is because they can both dry out the skin.
Normal/ oily skin types are fine to try this combination, if you’re on the drier or more sensitive side we would advise to start with glycolic acid and give your skin time to adjust. If you’re doing great with that and have no irritation, then you can add in retinol.
Hope this helps! For further information on products please contact us on beautyexperts@feelunique.com.
Many thanks Katie, Beauty Expert.

Can you use the buffet with this and if so, should it be before or after this toner?
Hey there,
You can use this toner with The Buffet however you would use the toner first then apply The Buffet.
This is because the toner has exfoliating properties which means your serum would be removed if applied first before toning.
Hope this helps!
Many thanks Katie, Beauty Expert.
