Formerly known as the Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution, this cult-favourite AHA toner has become one of the best-selling skincare products in the UK — and for good reason. With 7% glycolic acid at a skin-active pH of approximately 3.6, it gently dissolves dead skin cells to reveal a smoother, brighter, more even complexion with consistent use.\n\nEach 240ml bottle is packed with a thoughtfully layered formula that goes beyond basic exfoliation. Alongside the glycolic acid, you'll find Aloe Vera for soothing hydration, Panax Ginseng Root Extract for visible radiance, and Tasmanian Pepperberry — a clinically studied anti-irritant — to help keep skin comfortable even as it exfoliates. The result? A multi-functional toner that works hard without harsh side effects.\n\nWhat This Toner Does for Your Skin\nSmooths skin texture — visibly refines rough patches, bumps, and unevenness with regular use\nEvens skin tone — reduces the appearance of dark spots, post-blemish marks, and discolouration\nBoosts radiance — reveals a more luminous, healthy-looking glow\nReduces fine lines \u0026amp; wrinkles — glycolic acid stimulates collagen production over time\nUnclogs pores — helps clear congestion for cleaner, clearer skin\nMulti-use formula — can also be applied to the scalp to rebalance dry, flaky skin\nFragrance-free — no added perfume or essential oils, minimising unnecessary irritation\nWho Is This Toner For?\nThis toner is suitable for most skin types, including normal, oily, combination, and those concerned with signs of ageing.

If you're new to AHAs, we recommend starting 2–3 times per week and building up gradually.\n\nWhat's the difference between glycolic acid and salicylic acid?\nGlycolic acid is an AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) that works on the skin's surface to exfoliate dead cells, improve texture, and brighten tone. Salicylic acid is a BHA (beta hydroxy acid) that works deeper into pores, making it better for acne-prone skin. The two should not be used in the same routine.\n\nCan I use this toner in my morning routine?\nIt's recommended for evening (PM) use only. If you do use it during the day, always follow with a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen, as glycolic acid increases photosensitivity.\n\nIs The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% safe for sensitive skin?\nThis formula contains Tasmanian Pepperberry to reduce irritation; however, it is not recommended for sensitive, rosacea-prone, peeling, or compromised skin. Always patch test before use.\n\nCan this toner be used on the body or scalp?\nYes — it works effectively on rough or bumpy skin on the body (elbows, knees, arms) and can also be applied to the scalp to help rebalance dryness and reduce flakiness.\n\nHow long does a 240ml bottle last?\nUsed once daily on the face and neck, a 240ml bottle typically lasts 4–6 months — making it exceptional value for money.\n\nWhy Buy from Us?\n✅ 100% Authentic The Ordinary product\n✅ Fast UK delivery\n✅ Secure checkout\n✅ Hassle-free returns\nJoin thousands of UK skincare enthusiasts who trust The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner as their go-to AHA toner.
