If your skin ever looks dull or feels rough no matter how much moisturizer you use, an exfoliating toner is usually the missing step. The Ordinary’s Glycolic Acid 7% Toner is a daily AHA toner (pH ~3.6) that gently sweeps away dead skin so everything you put on after it works better — and skin looks brighter and smoother over time.
Why We Like It: simple ingredient list, honest price, and it layers easily into an evening routine a few nights a week.
Best For: dull, uneven-textured skin that needs a glow refresh. Start slow if you’re new to acids, and use SPF during the day.
