Overview
Product Details
Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner is a water-based, exfoliating toner formulated with 7% glycolic acid, a proven alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that effectively exfoliates the skin. It helps to remove dead skin cells, revealing a smoother, more even texture. Regular use of this glycolic acid toner promotes the appearance of more luminous and radiant skin while reducing the visibility of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging.
This formulation also features a Tasmanian Pepperberry derivative, a plant extract that helps soothe the skin and reduce irritation commonly associated with exfoliation, making it suitable for frequent use. The presence of this natural ingredient may cause seasonal colour variation in the formula.

This formulation should not be used on sensitive, peeling, or compromised skin. For best results, it is recommended to follow sun protection guidance due to increased skin sensitivity to sunlight after use.
