- Q
Can you use it on your inner thighs?
- Asked by Beauty
- 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 hope this helps!Was this answer helpful to you

- Asked by ap
- Official Answer By The Ordinary - Brand EngageUnfortunately, it is difficult for us to comment on the pairing of our products with those of other brands. We recommend consulting with your doctor/dermatologist, gradually incorporating one new product into your regimen at a time, and applying test patches first to see what works best for your skin.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...

Skin type: Dry, sensitive Product: The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution I bought this after seeing it everywhere—recommended by dermatologists and skincare professionals—and at this price point, it felt worth trying. It absolutely lives up to the hype. I don't use this as a facial toner. Instead, it's become a multi‑use workhorse for the body: Applied with a cotton pad to feet, knees, and elbows to help smooth dry, rough skin Let it absorb fully, then follow with a moisturizer Works extremely well for this purpose I also use it on underarms and the bikini area after waxing to help prevent ingrown hairs. Important note: I only apply it after all redness and irritation are gone (usually around day 3 post‑wax). It's effective, easy to use, and incredibly affordable for how many uses you get out of it—clearly a product that can stretch far beyond one intended purpose. As you can probably tell from how low my bottle is, a refill is already on my list. I know there are countless other ways to use this product, and I feel like I'm just getting started.
Love it
