Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution The Ordinary Review Summary

I used The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution for two full months, finishing an entire bottle. I applied it three times a week, only at night, with a cotton pad on clean skin. I noticed a significant improvement in my skin's texture, which became smoother, and superficial acne marks faded considerably. It also gives a nice glow the next day and didn't cause any new breakouts, but moisturizing afterwards is crucial. Overall, my experience with this toner was positive.

Worth it if you're looking for an effective exfoliating toner to improve skin texture and tone, provided you commit to moisturizing and sunscreen.
