Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution

Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution — Brighter, Smoother Skin in Weeks

The Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution is a gentle-strength exfoliating toner formulated to brighten dull skin, smooth uneven texture, and even out tone with regular use. Glycolic acid is an Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) with the smallest molecular size in its class, which allows it to penetrate the skin's surface effectively and loosen the "glue" holding dead skin cells together — revealing fresher, more radiant skin underneath. At 7% concentration, this toner is formulated to be effective for regular use while remaining approachable for those newer to chemical exfoliation.

Key Benefits

• Brightens dull, tired-looking skin by encouraging the turnover of dead surface cells
• Smooths rough or uneven texture, including small bumps and congestion
• Evens out skin tone and softens the look of dark spots over consistent use
• Refines the appearance of pores by keeping them clear of buildup
• Preps skin to better absorb serums and moisturizers applied afterward

Key Ingredients Explained

How To Use

1. Cleanse your face thoroughly and pat dry
2. Soak a cotton pad or use clean hands to apply the toner evenly across the face, avoiding the eye area
3. Use in the evening (PM) only, 2–3 times per week when starting out, building up to nightly use as your skin builds tolerance
4. Follow with a hydrating moisturizer to lock in the benefits
5. Always apply sunscreen the next morning — AHAs increase sun sensitivity, and daytime SPF is essential while using this product

Who Should Use This

Best for: Normal, oily, and combination skin dealing with dullness, rough texture, or uneven tone.
Use with caution / patch test first: Sensitive or reactive skin types, or anyone new to chemical exfoliants.
Avoid if: You have broken, sunburnt, or actively irritated skin, or if you're using other strong actives (retinol, other AHA/BHA) at the same time without easing in gradually.

Patch Test & Safety Note

As with any AHA product, we recommend patch testing on a small area of skin (such as your inner forearm) 24 hours before your first full-face application. If irritation, redness, or a burning sensation occurs, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist. Do not use on broken or compromised skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use this every day?
A: Start with 2–3 nights a week. Once your skin builds tolerance over 3–4 weeks, you can gradually increase to nightly use if your skin responds well.

Q: Can I use this with Vitamin C or Retinol?
A: Avoid layering with Vitamin C or Retinol in the same routine step to prevent irritation. Use Vitamin C in the AM and this toner at night; alternate nights with retinol rather than combining both on the same evening.

Q: Is this suitable for beginners to chemical exfoliation?
A: Yes — 7% is considered an accessible starting concentration for AHA toners, especially when introduced gradually.

Q: Will this cause purging or breakouts initially?
A: Some users experience mild purging in the first 1–2 weeks as cell turnover increases. This typically settles as skin adjusts.

Q: Do I need to moisturize after using this?
A: Yes, always follow with a moisturizer to support your skin barrier, especially while your skin is adapting to the acid.
