The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution Exfoliating Toner 240ml

Discover the secret to a more luminous and even complexion with The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution 240ml. This advanced exfoliating toner, crafted in Canada, harnesses the power of 7% Glycolic Acid (an Alpha Hydroxy Acid or AHA) to deliver gentle yet highly effective exfoliation. It works diligently to shed dead skin cells from the surface, revealing the fresh, vibrant skin beneath. Perfect for addressing common concerns like textural irregularities, persistent dullness, and uneven skin tone, this solution is a cornerstone for any serious skincare regimen in Sri Lanka's diverse climate.

Beyond its exfoliating prowess, this water-based toner is enriched with a soothing Tasmanian Pepperberry derivative, specifically included to help mitigate irritation often associated with acid use. This thoughtful formulation ensures a more comfortable experience, making it suitable for regular use. It's also celebrated for its clean profile: vegan, cruelty-free, alcohol-free, oil-free, and silicone-free, with a balanced pH of approximately 3.6. This makes it an excellent choice for most skin types striving for visible clarity and luminosity without harshness.
