The Ordinary
Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution
Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution · Exfoliant · 8 oz · around $13
Should you buy it? The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution is a exfoliant at around $13 for 8 oz. The big pink bottle, and the one most often used wrongly. It is strong, and on sensitive or deeper skin the irritation from over-exfoliating leaves more dark marks rather than fewer. Twice a week at most to start, and it is a better answer on the backs of arms than on a face. It suits textured hair, dull skin, oily skin.
