We purchased The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution so our writer could put it to the test. Keep reading for our full product review. Ever since it debuted, much talk has surrounded The Ordinary’s Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution—similar to just about every product The Ordinary puts out—for being an exfoliant that delivers prestige results at a drugstore price. As a fan of The Ordinary, I’m still amazed at how good their products are while being so affordable. Up until recently, a liquid exfoliating toner was never on my radar. Since I’ve tried a handful of impressive products from The Ordinary over the years, I looked to the brand to try their toner out when I thought about using one. Intrigued by the ingredients, cost, and customer reviews, I wanted to see if this toner lived up to the hype. Keep reading for my honest, full review.

The brand creates unique, affordable skincare products. About My Skin Acne-prone, sensitive, combination with dark spots With my sensitive skin and acne, I’ve had to be incredibly discerning about the types of skincare products I use. I usually react to products that are fragrant, formulated with active ingredients that are too strong, or have formulas that are too rich and hydrating. Because of that, I stick to what works I use my CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser, the SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic Serum, the La Roche Posay Ultra Fluide Moisturizer, and the Elta MD UV Clear Broad Spectrum SPF 46 Sunscreen. I use a prescription retinol treatment every three days as well. While my retinol treatment helps minimize the intensity of my breakouts, there are areas of my skin that are textured and bumpy, and I hadn’t found a liquid or physical exfoliant I could use consistently that didn’t irritate my skin. I wanted to see if the Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution could minimize the texture, as well as my hyperpigmentation. Board Certified dermatologist and educator at the Yale School of Medicine Dr. Mona Gohara notes that glycolic acid has several uses. “Those looking to rejuvenate [their skin] or add a glowy boost could benefit from glycolic acid, [and] also those [with] acne or uneven skin tone,” she says. Based on her insight, this toner sounded like a good choice to me. How to Apply Start slow Following a patch test—a process of checking whether you’ll react to a product by testing it on your neck or arm for a day before you apply it directly to your face—I incorporated the toner into my routine slowly, something Dr. Gohara recommends doing. “Start by using one day a week, and work up gradually to enhance [an] even skin tone and glow, while reducing acne and wrinkles.” Following the brand's advice, I’d pour a bit of toner onto a cotton pad and swipe it across my face after cleansing my skin in the evening once a week for two weeks. The Ordinary recommends using the toner in the evening. I made sure to load up on SPF in the mornings, because the brand advises my skin may be more sensitive to the sun after use. The Feel A lightweight liquid that feels comfortable The toner feels really lightweight, similar to any other traditional toner I’ve tried. The product does have a slightly sour smell, but it’s fragrance free—there isn’t a scent to mask how the formulation smells as is, which I actually prefer. Once I finished applying the toner, I waited about a minute for it to completely absorb into my skin. I didn’t feel like there was any residue or film on my skin, but once my skin was dry, it felt a bit sticky. When I applied my moisturizer, the stickiness disappeared. Gohara advises that layering glycolic acid and retinol is a major no-no. “Use [it] separately from retinol products to avoid irritation,” she says. I decided to save my retinol treatment and vitamin C serum for other days in the week. Byrdie / Khera Alexander Ingredients Potent and calming Classified as an alpha hydroxy acid AHA, glycolic acid is used in exfoliating products that break down and slough off dead skin cells. This acid also helps to refine the texture of skin and reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and acne scars. Tasmanian Pepperberry is often used in skincare as an anti-inflammatory ingredient, helping to calm the skin and lessen irritation. The Results Brighter, smoother skin after one use Though I only managed to use the Glycolic 7% Toning Solution twice over two weeks, I was able to see improvements in my skin. It may not be as noticeable to someone else, but I can see the difference in my skin’s texture, which I was actually quite excited about. Each morning after using the toner the night before, the small bumps on my skin looked smaller, and my skin looked more radiant. Each morning after using the toner the night before, the small bumps on my skin looked smaller, and my skin looked more radiant. Since my skin is so sensitive, my skincare routine is incredibly simple. I prioritize my skin’s sensitivity and gently treat my acne, but sometimes, I do think that I’m unable to achieve my best skin because I can’t use potent and powerful products without irritation or scarring. It was nice to see changes in my skin with The Ordinary's toner. I knew that if I integrated the product into my routine slowly, I could benefit from the exfoliation from this toner—something I knew I wanted to do more of—even if my results wouldn’t be as noticeable in comparison to someone whose skin can tolerate frequent use. Knowing my skin could handle 7% glycolic acid once a week—which is an intense percentage—was such a pleasant surprise. I can definitely see myself using this product once a week moving forward. Byrdie / Khera Alexander The Value A steal Similar to other products from The Ordinary, this product is priced well $10 for fl. oz. is pretty hard to beat, especially when you consider the noticeable difference the Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution can make in your skin. Even if your skin can tolerate this amount of glycolic acid more than mine can, you’d still be able to use the toner for at least a couple of months before having to replace it. Byrdie / Khera Alexander Similar Products You've got options The INKEY List Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Toner $12 Packed with 10% glycolic acid, the INKEY List’s Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Toner is just as affordable as The Ordinary’s toner, with a similar promise to help reveal smoother skin.

Formulated with aloe vera, ginseng, botanical extracts, and 5% glycolic acid, the Glow Tonic may be for you if you think The Ordinary’s toner may be a bit too strong. Final VerdictAfter using The Ordinary's Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution, I had smoother, more radiant skin, and my sensitive skin didn’t react poorly to the formula. If you’re looking for a product that can exfoliate your skin at an affordable price, this toner is a solid contender.

The most common skincare ingredient of all. You can usually find it right in the very first spot of the ingredient list, meaning it’s the biggest thing out of all the stuff that makes up the product. It’s mainly a solvent for ingredients that do not like to dissolve in oils but rather in water. Once inside the skin, it hydrates, but not from the outside - putting pure water on the skin hello long baths! is drying. One more thing the water used in cosmetics is purified and deionized it means that almost all of the mineral ions inside it is removed. Like this, the products can stay more stable over time. It’s the most researched AHA with the most proven skin benefitsIt gently lifts off dead skin cells to reveal newer, fresher, smoother skinIt can help skin’s own collagen production that results in firmer, younger skinIt can fade brown spots caused by sun damage or PIHChoose a product where you know the concentration and pH value because these two greatly influence effectivenessDon’t forget to use your sunscreen in any case but especially so next to an AHA productSlight stinging or burning with a stronger AHA product is normalIf your skin is very sensitive, rosacea prone choose rather a BHA or PHA product Read all the geeky details about Glycolic Acid here >> Also-called Damask Rose Flower Water, Rose Hydrosol The flower water coming from the flowers of the Damask Rose. In general, flower waters also called hydrosols are diluted versions of essential oils coming from the same plant. They contain the same components but in much-reduced concentrations. Similar to its big sister, rose oil, rose water also has a lovely, relaxing scent. It contains some antioxidant and antimicrobial compounds, as well as some fragrant components. If your skin is super sensitive, it is a good idea to choose products without fragrant floral waters. Also-called Cornflower Flower Water What-it-does soothing Flower distillate coming from the beautiful blue flowers, commonly known as cornflower. The flowers are traditionally used in European phytotherapy to treat smaller eye inflammations and contain polysaccharides mainly galacturonic acid, arabinose, glucose, rhamnose, and galactose with anti-inflammatory and soothing properties. We don't have description for this ingredient is a natural alternative for the often used and often bad-mouthed propylene glycol. It's produced sustainably from corn sugar and it's Ecocert approved. It's quite a multi-tasker can be used to improve skin moisturization, as a solvent, to boost preservative efficacy or to influence the sensory properties of the end formula. A natural moisturizer that’s also in our skin A super common, safe, effective and cheap molecule used for more than 50 yearsNot only a simple moisturizer but knows much more keeps the skin lipids between our skin cells in a healthy liquid crystal state, protects against irritation, helps to restore barrierEffective from as low as 3% with even more benefits for dry skin at higher concentrations up to 20-40%High-glycerin moisturizers are awesome for treating severely dry skin Read all the geeky details about Glycerin here >> What-it-does buffering Irritancy 0 Comedogenicity 2 It’s a little helper ingredient that helps to set the pH of a cosmetic formulation to be just right. It’s very alkaline you know the opposite of being very acidic a 1% solution has a pH of around 10. It does not have the very best safety reputation but in general, you do not have to worry about it. What is true is that if a product contains so-called N-nitrogenating agents preservatives like 2-Bromo-2-Nitropropane-1,3-Diol, 5-Bromo-5-Nitro- 1,3-Dioxane or sodium nitrate - so look out for things with nitro, nitra in the name that together with TEA can form some not nice carcinogenic stuff that is called nitrosamines. But with proper formulation that does not happen, TEA in itself is not a bad guy. But let’s assume a bad combination of ingredients were used and the nitrosamines formed. Even in that case you are probably fine because as far as we know it cannot penetrate the skin. But to be on the safe side, if you see Triethanolamine in an INCI and also something with nitra, nitro in the name of it just skip the product, that cannot hurt. An alkaline high pH, aka basic material that is used to set the pH of the cosmetic formula to the right value. Also-called True Ginseng, Ginseng, Korean Ginseng What-it-does antioxidant, emollient A traditional Korean medicine used for more than 2000 years. Regarding skin care, its main thing seems to be enhancing skin nutrition and metabolism as a result of improving blood also contains biologically active components referred to as ginseng saponins ginsenosides that have potent antioxidant properties. Tasmanian Pepper is a nice shrub living under hard conditions in the mountains of the Southeastern lands of Australia. It has small, round, purple-black berries that when dried, look like black pepper. Hence the name. As for skincare, the berries contain a couple of great actives. The primary one is called polygodial that has potent anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic and antimicrobial activity. According to the manufacturers in-vivo made on real people tests, Tasmanian Pepper Extract can relieve itching and burning sensation to a great extent 79% and 58% decrease almost instantly after only 5 mins. It also contains anthocyanins, that are well-known antioxidants. The berries are claimed to have an antioxidant power 3x greater than blueberries. A third active in the berries is called rutin, an anti-inflammatory agent that can strengthen capillaries. Thanks to this, Tasmanian Pepper might be able to help reduce dark undereye circles. All in all, an interesting plant extract with soothing and antioxidant activity. A non-essential amino acid important building block of collagen and elastin that hydrates the skin. It is also used to set the pH of the cosmetic product buffering. A non-essential amino acid a building block of skin proteins like collagen or elastin that hydrates the non-essential amino acid the building blocks of skin proteins, like collagen or elastin, that the body can produce itself, but its production decreases with age. When you put it all over your face, it works as a moisturizer and maybe more. According to great skincare blog Futurederm, glycine might help with wound healing and tissue repair and when used together with other amino acids, leucine and proline it might improve wrinkles. Serine is an amino acid that most often comes to the formula as part of a moisturizing complex. It's a non-essential amino acid meaning that our body can synthesize it and serves as a water-binding general, amino acids are great skincare ingredients that play an important role in proper skin hydration but there is not much info out there about what specifically serine can do for the essential amino acid a building block of skin proteins like collagen that our body cannot produce itself but has to take from external sources, like diet. It's a branched chain amino acid that is claimed to enhance energy, increase endurance and aid in muscle tissue recovery and repair when taken as a supplement. It's not clear what valine does when you put it on the skin, but as all amino acids, it must be at least a great skin hydrator. A branch-chained, essential amino acid that can be found in things like almond, cashew or soy protein. When taken orally it may promote protein synthesis. As for skincare - like all the amino acids - it's a skin-identical ingredient and moisturizer. It also seems to be useful as a barrier repair ingredient. A non-essential amino acid meaning that our body can produce it that's also one of the major building blocks of collagen. According to the Futurederm blog, it might be able to improve wrinkles when combined with other amino acids, glycine and leucine An essential amino acid that's also a key building block of collagen and elastin. When taken orally, it helps the digestive and intestinal tracts function more smoothly and also helps the absorption of nutrients. As for skincare, it is not clear what it does other than being a skin hydrator. A semi-essential amino acid meaning that enough has to be eaten from it so that the body does not use up essential amino acids that our body cannot produce itself to synthesize it. It has an important role in regulating the immune defense, allergic reactions, and inflammatory processes in the for skincare, it's a skin moisturizer that might also protect from some skin infections. An essential amino acid that the body cannot produce itself but has to take from the diet. Combined with UVA exposure, phenylalanine is used in the treatment of vitiligo a pigmentation disorder where patches of the skin lose the pigment.Glutamic acid is a little molecule and non-essential our body can synthesize it amino acid with the important job of being a neurotransmitter in the human body meaning that it helps your nervous system work correctly. As for what it's doing in cosmetics, Glutamic acids' main thing similar to other amino acids is being a humectant moisturizer and skin-conditioning agent sidenote if you attach lots of glutamic acid molecules, you get polyglutamic acid that is claimed to be a better than hyaluronic acid humectant. It also seems to affect skin barrier repair, however, it is not clear-cut in which direction. The complication is that glutamic acid has two distinct forms, L-glutamic acid and D-glutamic acid, that are the mirror images of each other think of it like your left and right hand. Studies show that a topical application of L-glutamic acid on damaged skin delayed skin repair, while D-glutamic acid application sped up skin repair. As both forms are used by the industry, it is a bit uncertain what you are getting with just glutamic acid on the ingredient list but if it is a Shiseido group product, it is probably the goodie D-form . Other than that, Glutamic acid can also be used as a pH adjuster and can be processed via biological pathways into pyrrolidone carboxylic acid, the sodium salt of which is a goodie and one of your skin’s natural moisturizing factors. A semi-essential infants cannot synthesize it, but adults can amino acid that is one of the primary building blocks of hair keratin and skin collagen. It's a natural moisturizing factor, a skin hydrator and might also help to speed up wound healing. Arginine usually has a positive charge cationic that makes it substantive to skin and hair those are more negatively charged surfaces and an excellent film former. Thanks to the positive charge, it also creates a complex with AHAs AHAs like to lose a hydrogen ion and be negatively charged, so the positive and the negative ions attract each other that causes a "time-release AHA effect" and reduces the irritation associated with AHAs. PCA stands for Pyrrolidone Carboxylic Acid and though it might not sound like it, it is a thing that can be found naturally in our skin. In fact, after amino acids, it is the second biggest NMF component of the skin with 12% being PCA of the NMF composition of normal skin. So similar to other NMFs, it's a skin goodie that helps the skin to hold onto water and stay nicely hydrated. PCA stands for Pyrrolidone Carboxylic Acid and though it might not sound like it, it is a thing that can be found naturally in our skin. The sodium salt form of PCA is an important skin-identical ingredient and great natural moisturizer that helps the skin to hold onto water and stay nicely hydrated. The sodium salt of lactic acid. It's a great skin moisturizer and also used to regulate the pH value of the cosmetic formula. It's a natural ingredient approved by both ECOCERT and COSMOS. Fancy name for fruit sugar. It has nice water-binding properties and helps to keep skin hydrated. A fancy name for sugar. Luckily when you put it on your skin it's good for you not like when you eat it. It has water-binding properties, which means that it helps to keep your skin nice and hydrated. A type fo sugar, usually refined from cane or beet sugar. On the skin, it has water-binding properties and helps to keep your skin hydrated. Yes, it's the thing that can be found naturally in pee. And in the skin. It is an awesome natural moisturizing factor, aka NMF. NMFs are important components that help the skin to hold onto water and keep it plump, elastic and hydrated. Urea makes up about 7% of NMFs next to other things such as amino acids 40%, PCA 12% or Lactate 12%. What makes urea special, is that it is not only a simple moisturizer, but it is thought to be a "small-molecule regulator of epidermal structure and function" meaning that it has a bunch of extra biological activities. It acts as a mild keratolytic agent some of its moisturizing action is thought to come from urea's ability to break down bonds in the protein called filaggrin and thus freeing up amino acids in the skin, enhances antimicrobial peptide expression and improves skin barrier function. Being a mild keratolytic agent and strong moisturizer means that high-percentage 10-40% urea treatments are found effective in a bunch of skin disorders connected to excessive dryness and malfunctioning skin barrier such as ichthyosis, xerosis, psoriasis, eczema and seborrheic dermatitis. Overall, just like glycerin, urea is a real oldie but a goodie, a nice ingredient in any moisturizer. There is not too much info out there about Hexyl Nicotinate. It's an emollient, moisturizer ingredient. Also according to this study it increases blood flow. A little helper ingredient that can be a thickener, a humectant, a foam booster, an adhesion promoter and a filler. It's a blend of polysaccharides that helps to moisturize and soften the skin. Citric acid comes from citrus fruits and is an AHA. If these magic three letters don’t tell you anything, click here and read our detailed description on glycolic acid, the most famous AHA. So citric acid is an exfoliant, that can - just like other AHAs - gently lift off the dead skin cells of your skin and make it more smooth and fresh. There is also some research showing that citric acid with regular use think three months and 20% concentration can help sun-damaged skin, increase skin thickness and some nice hydrating things called glycosaminoglycans in the skin. But according to a comparative study done in 1995, citric acid has less skin improving magic properties than glycolic or lactic acid. Probably that’s why citric acid is usually not used as an exfoliant but more as a helper ingredient in small amounts to adjust the pH of a formulation. It's a common little helper ingredient that helps water and oil to mix together. Also, it can help to increase the solubility of some other ingredients in the formula. We don't have description for this ingredient yet. Also-called EDDS What-it-does chelating A helper ingredient that helps to neutralize the metal ions in the formula they usually come from water so it stays nice longer. The special property of this particular ingredient is that it's more effective against more problematic ions, like Cu copper and Fe iron compared to less problematic ones like Ca calcium and Mg magnesium.Sodium chloride is the fancy name of salt. Normal, everyday table salt. If similar to us you are in the weird habit of reading the label on your shower gel while taking a shower, you might have noticed that sodium chloride is almost always on the ingredient list. The reason for this is that salt acts as a fantastic thickener in cleansing formulas created with ionic cleansing agents aka surfactants such as Sodium Laureth Sulfate. A couple of percents typically 1-3% turns a runny surfactant solution into a nice gel texture. If you are into chemistry if not, we understand, just skip this paragraph, the reason is that electrolytes you know, the Na+ and Cl- ions screen the electrostatic repulsion between the head groups of ionic surfactants and thus support the formation of long shaped micelles instead of spherical ones that entangle like spaghetti, and viola, a gel is formed. However, too much of it causes the phenomenon called "salting out", and the surfactant solution goes runny again. Other than that, salt also works as an emulsion stabilizer in water-in-oil emulsions, that is when water droplets are dispersed in the outer oil or silicone phase. And last but not least, when salt is right at the first spot of the ingredient list and is not dissolved, the product is usually a body scrub where salt is the physical exfoliating agent. Similar to other glycols, it's a helper ingredient used as a solvent, or to thin out thick formulas and make them more nicely spreadable. Hexylene Glycol is also part a preservative blend named Lexgard HPO, where it helps the effectiveness of current IT-preservative, phenoxyethanol. It's one of those things that help your cosmetics not to go wrong too soon, aka a preservative. It’s not a strong one and doesn’t really work against bacteria, but more against mold and yeast. To do that it has to break down to its active form, sorbic acid. For that to happen, there has to be water in the product and the right pH value pH 3-4. But even if everything is right, it’s not enough on its own. If you see potassium sorbate you should see some other preservative next to it too. BTW, it’s also a food preservative and even has an E number, helper ingredient that helps to make the products stay nice longer, aka preservative. It works mainly against fungi. It’s pH dependent and works best at acidic pH levels 3-5. It’s not strong enough to be used in itself so it’s always combined with something else, often with potassium sorbate. A really multi-functional helper ingredient that can do several things in a skincare product it can bring a soft and pleasant feel to the formula, it can act as a humectant and emollient, it can be a solvent for some other ingredients for example it can help to stabilize perfumes in watery products and it can also help to disperse pigments more evenly in makeup products. And that is still not all it can also boost the antimicrobial activity of preservatives. It’s a handy multi-tasking ingredient that gives the skin a nice, soft feel. At the same time, it also boosts the effectiveness of other preservatives, such as the nowadays super commonly used phenoxyethanol. The blend of these two caprylyl glycol + phenoxyethanol is called Optiphen, which not only helps to keep your cosmetics free from nasty things for a long time but also gives a good feel to the finished product.
