- Q
does this help stretch marks? like make them light and now bring red?
- Asked by shhhidk
- Official Answer By The Ordinary - Brand EngageGlycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner has been tested for use on the face, neck, and scalp. It can also exfoliate areas of the body experiencing rough and bumpy skin. However, we do not recommend applying this product to covered areas of the body such as the inner thighs or underarms, as these areas may have more sensitive skin, and the natural occlusion of these regions may make them more prone to irritation. We have not tested this product for use on stretch marks. We'd recommend consulting with a physician for further guidance.Was this answer helpful to you

Chemical Scalp Exfoliant - Helps Manage Dandruff & Oils
I use this product for "other than the intended purpose". Skin care is important to me, but I struggle with psoriasis/dermatitis which sometimes results in dandruff and a rough patch behind one ear. In the past I have tried glycolic acid for my face and it was terrible. More than just a purging, it...

Not a bad product, my skin just didn't care for it
Product came with 2 options to apply them with: a squirtle or a regular top lid thingy. I chose the squirtle and I'd spritz it on a bottom pad and swept across my face. It would sting me. I thought my skin was just not used to it. This was one of the first products I purchased when I got into skinca...

Not like the exfoliators we had when I was a teen
I love how this product exfoliates my face gently instead of using something sandy to scratch it up.
I would buy this product again.
I'm very pleased with ordinary my daughter got me hooked. I was looking for a good retinol & she did research & she bought me this. Now this is all I want. Thank you so much for your product.
Ouch
Saw lots of great reviews on this product, helping with discoloration, exfoliation, and odor control. Due to the higher percentage i used once a week for two weeks. Just in those two times i have been left with chemical burns, discoloration that i didnt have before and constant irritation. May work for you but i am disappointed
5th time buying
I love this product. I use it under my arms also and since I have been applying it there, I don't need deodorant. I do not smell. And of course it feels great on my face, neck area
I will die on this hill…
This is the first and probably only review I will ever write because I want my plus size girlies to know how amazing this product is… I use this under all my rolls and creases to control ODOR!!!!! Yesss odor!!! I use it under my boobs, behind my ears, around my neck, under my tummy, my groin area, literally every crevice that can possibly trap sweat/bacteria and cause unpleasant smells. TMI but I've actually gone an entire weekend without showering, because I'm a lazy bum, and I can confidently say I smelled as good as I did on the day I showered. TRUST ME ON THIS. You need to try it!!!
