The OrdinaryGlycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner, Brightening and Smoothing Daily Toner for More Even-Looking Skin Tone, 8.1 Fl Oz

Let me start by saying this: if you’ve ever looked in the mirror and thought, “Why is my skin just... dull?”, this toner might be what you’re missing. The Ordinary's Glycolic Acid 7% Toner is kind of a cult favorite—and for good reason.I started using it a few times a week at night, and within the first two weeks, I noticed my skin was smoother, less congested around my nose and chin, and definitely more radiant. It's not a dramatic overnight transformation, but it's like your skin slowly wakes up and starts behaving better.The feel? Slightly tingly at first—especially if you're new to acids. It's watery, almost like a micellar toner, and absorbs quickly. I apply it after cleansing and before serums or moisturizer. I don’t rinse it off.What it actually helped with:Uneven tone – My cheeks had some mild discoloration from old acne marks. They faded faster than usual.Texture – It gently exfoliates, so my skin feels much softer and looks smoother.Breakouts – It doesn’t prevent them entirely, but it definitely helps keep pores cleaner and reduces those little under-the-skin bumps.What to watch out for:It’s strong. I wouldn’t recommend this every day right out of the gate—especially if you have sensitive skin. Start with 2–3x per week at night.Can dry you out if overused, especially around the mouth and nose. I always follow with a good moisturizer.Sun sensitivity is real. You must use sunscreen during the day while using this, or you’re just undoing the benefits.Oh, and a little secret? People use this on their underarms, knees, and even for keratosis pilaris (those little bumps on arms). It’s not officially for that, but it works.

I wasn’t expecting much when I picked up The Ordinary Glycolic Acid, but now it’s officially earned permanent real estate in my skincare lineup.After a few weeks of using it 2–3 times a week at night, my skin is noticeably smoother, brighter, and just... fresher. It gently exfoliates without burning or drying me out (as long as you don’t overdo it — this stuff is strong), and it’s made a huge difference with dullness and uneven texture.Bonus: It’s helped with stubborn ingrown hairs and rough patches on my arms too. Multi-tasking for the win.If you’re looking for real results without dropping spa-level money, this is a must-try. Just be sure to follow with sunscreen during the day — your fresh new skin will thank you.

I've tried countless moisturizers, but The Ordinary’s Natural Moisturizing Factors + Hyaluronic Acid is one I keep coming back to. It strikes the perfect balance: deep hydration without clogging pores or feeling greasy.The formula is lightweight yet effective—ideal for daily use under makeup or as a final step in your nighttime routine. My skin drinks it up instantly, leaving it feeling plump, smooth, and genuinely nourished.The addition of hyaluronic acid gives it that extra boost of moisture retention, and the blend of natural moisturizing factors (like amino acids and ceramides) helps support the skin barrier over time. I’ve noticed less redness and flaking, especially around my nose and cheeks—huge win during dry seasons.Fragrance-free, affordable, and straightforward. If your skin needs hydration without drama, this one delivers.

Hello everyone! I wanted to share my experience with The Ordinary's glycolic acid serum, because it's wonderful! I've been using it for a few weeks now and I've already noticed the difference, my skin is softer and radiant! At first it can give a little tingling, but it's normal, and it goes away quickly. It has helped me a lot with the spots and uneven texture, something that always worried me. Plus, it's super easy to incorporate into your nighttime routine, just a few droplets and you're done. I really think it's an excellent product and at an incredible price, totally recommended! If you're looking for something to refresh your skin, definitely try it!

I get breakouts from time to time and I find that using this on my skin will help dry and clear out the breakout a few days after I tap it into my skin. I can't use it more than once every few days because I find that it stings and will cause flakiness, but that is normal with exfoliating products. It does feel pretty strong, so I'll add product into a gauze / cotton sheet, and then will tap it into my skin at night - generally once a week is a good practice. If you have really sensitive skin, I would recommend adding to a cotton sheet after saturating it with some water. I really like the smell - sort of smells like apples.

I started using The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution on my back to help with acne marks, and it’s honestly working better than I expected. After a few weeks of using it a few times a week, I’ve noticed the dark spots and post-acne marks starting to fade. My skin looks more even, and the texture feels smoother too. It tingles a bit when I apply it, but nothing too harsh, and I always follow up with moisturizer. For something so affordable, it’s been a really effective part of my body care routine.

Works fast, noticeable change in few uses.It evens out skin tone.lightweight, watery like a toner & absorbs quickly. (no irritation )I don't rinse it off and add moisturizer after. deep hydration no clogging pores or feeling greasy, (no smell).

Glycolic acid toner has been a a valuable addition and a game changer in my skincare routine. I love that it is lightweight and doesn’t leave my skin feeling sticky. It has visibly improved my skin tone and texture. The dark spots are fading nicely and it helps with the absorbency of AHA lotion I use it with at nights. This combination leaves my skin feeling hydrated and smooth.
