- Q
Hello, if I only use this product once a week is it going to work or would it not be worth it?
- Asked by A
- Official Answer By The Ordinary - Brand EngageHi there, we recommend using Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner 1-3x/week and working up to daily use if needed. The product is still effective at exfoliation with one use per week. We hope this helps!Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Can it be used in pubic areas?
- Asked by kiera
- 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.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
In what stage of our skincare at night do we add the toner? Right now at night, i do cleanser, then an HA/Beta Glucan serum, and then a moisturizer.
- Asked by Cait
- Official Answer By The Ordinary - Brand EngageHi there, we recommend applying Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner after cleansing, and before serums/moisturizer.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
I bought the AHA 30% + BHA 2% High-Strength Peeling Solution for Brightening how should I use both that and the Glycolouc toner?
- Asked by Jo
- Official Answer By The Ordinary - Brand EngageHi there, we recommend using AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution and Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner in separate regimens as they are both direct acids. We'd recommend using the AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution once a week, and Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner 1-2x/week in separate regimens (preferably in the PM) if you're planning on using both of them. We hope this helps!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...

I would recommend this product a million times, the way it leaves my skin soft and glowing. Its definitely worth the price
I love this product! Instant buy!
I only bought the small one to test it out but I brightened my skin and got rid of black heads. As soon as a run out of the small one I am going back to Ulta to buy the big one. It is so great for teens skin.
great product!!
I have only been using this product for 1-2 weeks and have seen so many good things. You can also use this product for many things. First, it took away my strawberry legs like that, made my armpits not stink, made my scalp not itchy or flaky, and it also is great for an after shave "serum" to get smooth legs.
Acne scars and acne
I usally have a hard time finding the right skincare product cause I usually breakout badly and hsve very bad acne scar spot, but The Ordinary Gycolic Acid helped a but with the scaring and my acne.
Excellent
A friend expressed they love this product so I went and bought and tried myself and I Love it too. Works well and does as described. Cleans and opens your pores.also lightens any skin discoloration for an even skin tone. Good product.
