The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner 100ml in Sri Lanka

Intro

The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner 100ml is a water-based exfoliating toner formulated with 7% glycolic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that helps remove dead skin cells from the skin’s surface. With regular, appropriate use, it can help improve the appearance of dullness, uneven skin tone and rough texture.

What is it and who is it for?

This exfoliating toner is designed for people who want to improve the appearance of uneven texture and achieve a brighter-looking complexion. Alongside glycolic acid, the formula contains aloe vera, ginseng root extract and a Tasmanian Pepperberry derivative to help condition the skin.

If you are building an exfoliation routine, it is worth introducing one active product at a time. For a gentler cleansing step, consider The Ordinary Glucoside Foaming Cleanser 150ml before applying exfoliating products.

Sri Lanka’s sunny climate makes careful sun protection especially important when using exfoliating acids. Apply this toner in the evening, follow with a moisturiser, and use sunscreen during the day. The product may also be used on the scalp according to the brand’s directions.

Avoid using it on sensitive, peeling, irritated or compromised skin. If you are new to chemical exfoliation, patch-test first and begin gradually.
