Comments about Mario Badescu Glycolic Acid Toner:
I absolutely love this toner, it's the first toner I've ever tried & I will not be trying any others after discovering this! It has made my skin so much brighter and glowy, it also smells amazing. I use it every morning and night after washing my face.

Comments about Mario Badescu Glycolic Acid Toner:
I love this stuff! I use it once in the morning and it definitely took a few months to notice the difference but man! Now that I have been using it regularly I definitely notice that my skin is brighter and more even. I have really sensitive skin and it has not made me break out at all

Cons

Comments about Mario Badescu Glycolic Acid Toner:
I'm reviewing this because I've noticed over the past month my skin has progressively become more smooth and glowing, and it has to be because of this product. I've worked out my routine to have clear skin, but I never thought I could have the healthy poreless glow and color that I have now - my skin looks much less dull and combination-y. I recommend! I use it at night before a night cream.
Pros
- Moisturizing
Cons
- Cystic Acne
Best Uses

Comments about Mario Badescu Glycolic Acid Toner:
I feel like toner is one of those things where you use it and you're like yeah it's good but then when you stop using it your skin starts acting up and you don't know why so you use the toner hoping it will help and then all of a sudden your skin starts getting better you go back to it hoping it will do something and you realize how important it truly is and this was definitely an amazing toner that really made a difference in my skin
Pros
- Balances Skin
- Gentle
- Improves Skin Texture
- Leaves Clean Feel
- Moisturizing
- Not Greasy
Cons
Best Uses

Comments about Mario Badescu Glycolic Acid Toner:
I've been using the MB Glycolic Acid Toner for about 2 months and I love it! I started using it everyday, morning and night. Now I'm using it mostly at night, while using the MB Aloe Vera Toner in the AM to calm any redness I have. It has definitely improved my skin's texture. My skin is so smooth and soft now which makes my day/night creams go on smoothly and my makeup looks so much better. It has helped even my skin tone and makes my skin look brighter. A little goes a long way and it quickly absorbs into your skin without irritation. The regular sized bottle should last you at least 2 months! Definitely worth the cost. I highly recommend for anyone looking for an effective addition to their skincare routine.
Comments about Mario Badescu Glycolic Acid Toner:
I don't have sensitive skin. I get occasional pimples during my period. This product made my skin so terrible!!!! I have about 20+ huge breakouts on my face, didn't realize it was this product. Stopped using it last week and my face is back to normal. Terrible product!!!!
Comments about Mario Badescu Glycolic Acid Toner:
I've been using this for about 6 months now l, twice a day. It has drastically cleared up my skin as well as reduced my discoloration and scars.
You have to stick with it. The longer you use it, the better it works.
Pros
- Evens Skin Tone
- Gentle
- Moisturizing
Cons
- Greasy
- Very Soapy Smell
Best Uses
- Combination Skin
- Daily Use
- Dry Skin
- Sensitive Skin
Comments about Mario Badescu Glycolic Acid Toner:
I have combination skin with lots of break outs and I was using The Ordinary's glycolic acid toner and I wanted to try another one to see how it stacked up. I will say, this is not nearly as drying as The Ordinary's, but it doesn't make my skin as noticeably brighter and to me it seems like it leaves a bit of a film on my skin, maybe I use too much. Otherwise it's perfectly fine for everyday use.

Q:
I have dry skin and am looking for a product that can get rid of my acne scars. Any suggestions?Asked on 4/3/2018 by dry skin girl from San Francisco, Califormia1 answer
A:
For dry skin we suggest our Alpha Grapefruit Cleansing Lotion as your toner to help reduce discoloration.

Our Anti Acne Serum can be used when breakouts occur. This provides light hydration while helping to reduce breakouts.Answered on 4/2/2018 by Official Answer from Mario Badescu from Brand Answer

Q:
Can you use this with a moisturizer that contains AHA? I've been using Philosphy's Renewed Hope in a jar and I'm not sure if its have an adverse effect...Asked on 3/19/2018 by LaineyMikkay from Denton1 answer
A:
Prior to utilizing a toner and a moisturizer that both contain AHA's we recommend that you determine your skin's sensitivity.Answered on 3/20/2018 by Brand Expert from Mario Badescu
Q:
I LOOOOOOVE the cucumber spray and will be purchasing the toner right now. My question is about this product and basically all Mario products that have parabens. I'm nearing 40 and parabens are found in the majority of breast cancers. The cucumber spray has changed my life. It sets makeup, keeps oils at bay and refreshes my skin. I have hyperpigmentation and I'd like to start incorporating more Mario products into my regimen as I phase out of Philosophy but I'm apprehensive due to the amount of products that contain parabens. Is there anything coming down the pike that's paraben-free with the products such as this that contain parabens?Asked on 2/23/2018 by lovemyskin from Southern California1 answer
A:
If you are looking for a brightening toner that is paraben free, our Alpha Grapefruit Cleansing Lotion can be used.
We are aware of inquiries for a paraben-free line and as we continue in the formulation of new products, we have taken this into consideration and hope to formulate items with different preservatives.Answered on 2/25/2018 by Brand Expert from Mario Badescu
Q:
Hi which one of you guys serum and moisturizer will help with combo skin , hyperpigmentation , redness from acne scars and dark spots?Asked on 2/22/2018 by Taylor from undisclosed1 answer
A:
We recommend our Oil Free Moisturizer SPF 30 and Vitamin C Serum to help hydrate the skin and reduce discoloration.

Q:
Can this be used with 4% Hydraquinine? I have hyperpigmintation.Asked on 2/22/2018 by BeautyGal101 from US1 answer
A:

Q:
is this good for extremely sensitive skinAsked on 2/21/2018 by adri from US1 answer
A:
The Glycolic Acid Toner is not recommended for sensitive skin. Instead our Alpha Grapefruit Cleansing Lotion can be used to help brighten the skin while being gentle for sensitive skin types. https://www.ulta.com/alpha-grapefruit-cleansing-lotion?productId=xlsImpprod6200779&sku=2210016&_requestid=6545133Answered on 2/22/2018 by Brand Expert from Mario Badescu
