The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner

Every bottle is bought from the brand’s authorised distributor, never a third-party marketplace. Each carton is logged with its batch code and expiry date when it reaches our UAE warehouse, and factory seals remain intact. Anything that arrives wrong, damaged or not as described is collected and refunded at our cost.

The Ordinary lists Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner as suited to all skin types, with one exclusion: it should not be used on sensitive, peeling or compromised skin. Dry skin can use it, but follow with a moisturiser, and oily skin still needs light hydration afterwards. If you are new to acids, start two to three evenings a week rather than daily.

The Ordinary lists it as incompatible with copper peptides, direct vitamin C, EUK 134, niacinamide powder, peptides, retinoids and other direct acids. This is a formulation restriction, not a tolerance phase, so it does not stop applying once your skin is used to the toner. Use those products in a separate routine or on alternate days rather than layering them in the same session.

It comes in 100ml and 240ml. The Ordinary does not publish a fixed number of uses for either size, so bottle life depends on how much you apply and how often you use it. Used two to three evenings a week with a cotton pad, a 100ml bottle lasts noticeably longer than daily use would suggest.

Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner may feel intense on sensitive skin and is not suitable for sensitive, peeling or compromised skin. Patch test first, begin two to three evenings weekly, and stop if the formula feels uncomfortable.

With consistent use the toner helps skin look smoother, more even and more luminous. Those are the three things The Ordinary lists it for: textural irregularities, dullness and uneven skin tone. The brand does not publish a guaranteed results timeframe, so changes vary with your skin and how often you use it.
