The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner 240ml

The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner (240ml)

Product Description:

The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner is a revolutionary skincare product that harnesses the power of glycolic acid, a popular alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from sugar cane. This toner is designed to effectively exfoliate the skin, enhancing texture, brightness, and overall complexion clarity. The formula contains a concentration of 7% glycolic acid, which works to dissolve the bonds between dead skin cells, leading to smoother, healthier-looking skin.

In addition to glycolic acid, this toner features a blend of soothing botanical extracts such as ginseng root and aloe vera, which help to minimize irritation commonly associated with acid exfoliants. The combination of both exfoliation and soothing components creates a balanced product that is suitable for those looking to improve skin texture without causing excessive dryness or sensitivity.

Key Ingredients:

1. Glycolic Acid (7%): An AHA that penetrates the skin easily, promoting cell turnover for a brighter, more even complexion.
2. Ginseng Root: Known for its invigorating properties, ginseng aids in enhancing circulation and revitalizing dull skin.
3. Aloe Vera: Renowned for its calming and hydrating properties, aloe vera helps to soothe and nourish the skin post-exfoliation.
4. Tamarind Seed Extract: A polysaccharide-rich ingredient that provides hydration and may enhance the skin’s moisture retention.

Uses:

The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner can be incorporated into your daily skincare routine to achieve enhanced exfoliation and a refined appearance. Here’s a step-by-step guide for optimal use:

1. Patch Test: Before first use, conduct a patch test on a small area of skin to assess sensitivity. Apply a small amount of the product and wait 24 hours for any adverse reactions.
2. Cleansing: Begin with a gentle cleanser suitable for your skin type. Rinse thoroughly and pat your face dry.
3. Application:
   • Frequency: Use the toner in the evening, starting with 2-3 times a week. Gradually increase frequency to every other evening as your skin builds tolerance.
   • Method: Moisten a cotton pad with the toner and sweep it across the face, avoiding the eye area. Alternatively, you can dispense a few drops of the toner into your palms and press it gently into the skin.
4. Follow-Up: After using the toner, follow with your regular serum, moisturizer, and sunscreen during the day.
5. Sun Protection: As glycolic acid can increase skin sensitivity to the sun, it is crucial to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 during the day, even if not using the toner.

Cautions:

• For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes and broken skin.
• If irritation occurs, reduce frequency of use.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Consult with a dermatologist if pregnant or breastfeeding.

Conclusion:

The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner is an effective and affordable option for those seeking to improve skin texture and radiance through chemical exfoliation. Its blend of glycolic acid, hydrating botanical extracts, and gentle formulation makes it suitable for a variety of skin types, including oily, combination, and dry skin when used appropriately. Regular use can lead to visibly smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking skin, boosting confidence and enhancing your skincare regimen.
