Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner is a water-based exfoliating toner containing 7% glycolic acid, a proven alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that thoroughly exfoliates the skin. This removes dead skin cells and leaves the skin smoother and more even. Regular use of this glycolic acid toner promotes the appearance of radiant skin while reducing the visibility of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging.

This formulation also contains a derivative of Tasmanian mountain pepper, a plant extract that soothes the skin and reduces irritation commonly associated with exfoliation, making it suitable for frequent use. In addition, the presence of this natural ingredient may cause seasonal color variations in the formula. With a carefully calibrated pH of approximately 3.6, the toner has an optimal balance of salt and acid content.

This multifunctional toner is not only effective on the face, but can also be applied to the scalp to restore balance, moisturize, and reduce dryness. This formulation should not be used on sensitive, peeling, or damaged skin. For best results, it is recommended to follow the sun protection instructions, as the skin is more sensitive to sunlight after application.
