I've been using this for a few months and I noticed a difference early on. I pat it on with fingers (it's like water) and let it dry. I use it every morning after washing and only need a small amount of moisturiser as it doesn't feel drying. I'm in my 70s and it's brightened my skin totally - a brilliant product!

I bought this product 20 days ago, and wow, the change is already noticeable. It doesn't irritate the skin, the changes are quickly visible, my skin is soft, and it's super easy to use. After trying many other brands, this one has become my favorite. I recommend it 100%.

Best products ever. It takes time for it to work for me cause my face was bad. I wanted to have the glass look I saw on social media. So I decided to buy all the products that face need. 2 weeks ago I added the Anua niamicin to beauty regimen cuz I wanted the products to work fast. All those products, I rotate them to different. I was never comfortable to take pics without selfie. Now,vi have nothing to be afraid of. I can't wait to see what my face is going to look like in 3 months. I'll let the pics speak for themselves.

I’ve been using the glycolic toner for a few weeks and it changed my life. As you can see in the left photo, my skin is so inflamed, red, puffy, oily and dull. I’ve been using it every day for 3 weeks as my nighttime skin care routine. I apply sunscreen every morning before I do my makeup too. I had been so insecure to not wear makeup because my skin was always red and oily. And putting on foundation with my skin like that didn’t even look that great. My redness would always seep through. After 3 weeks, my skin is so brand new. My makeup looks so much better on my brand new skin!! I love it. I’ll be buying this for the rest of my life!

Britanya James11 months ago

Great toner- light, refreshing, and gentle on my skin. Makes my face feel clean and smooth. I’ll be repurchasing for sure!

Kindle Customer11 months ago

Its magic! Been using for 3 weeks now and actually seeing results from my back discoloration then from any other product ive used before. Well recommended 👌

Hassan A11 months ago

I have been using this toner for few months now and my only regret is not getting sooner the way it and brightens my skin and i can use it as a deodorant too I don’t remember the last time I bought deodorant. I love it 😻

Sindy11 months ago

It gently exfoliates my skin and leaves it smoother and brighter. After a few uses, my skin tone looks more even and my texture has improved. It’s strong, so I use it only a few times a week, but the results are amazing!

Stephania11 months ago

Just opened up my order from my Slowvember sale and unfortunately, I must report that this item has been the victim of SHRINKFLATION. I was shocked when I unboxed it to see it less than 50% its original size. I think the last time I bought it was a coupla years back and I *believe* it was about 250mL. Now? It is at 100mL. It literally looks like a travel size! So I cannot comment on the product itself, but if you're purchasing it, be aware that it is a very, very small bottle.

Giving this a try . At the beginning it made me have some breakouts but my skin looks brighter.

MurphysLaw11 months ago

This is an excellent product at a fair price. It takes a while to see results but after a few weeks of use, you will see a difference. If you are trying to save money, just know there are other products advertised that are watered down or have a significantly lower pH level and as a result, do not work as well or at all. Spend the extra money and get this instead.

Rose1 year ago

I love this product. I’ll buy a new one every time if I run out, plus it lasts a long time for me to run out, and I was surprised it’s the same price. The only reason I buy this product is not because of my face or my skin it was mostly because of my underarms. Every time, like previously, I’ll take showers, and after my underarms will still have a faint odor, which I hate because I wash my underarms every time, and I’ll wash it multiple times for it to still have a faint odor. I don’t like it, so I saw on TikTok that this product works, and ever since then, I’ve been using it. It’s been a year, and it really works for me, to be honest. I will only put it on for once a week, and my underarms wouldn’t smell, which is great because sometimes, like before, I took a shower, I put deodorant on, and later on the day, I’ll still smell my odor.

I have been using this product for about 2 years now. Full transparency, I have a drier skin, so I don't use this super often (maybe once or twice per week), but I definitely see a difference when I use it! I get hormonal breakouts once per month and this is my go-to when I see my skin start to react. It also works great in summer when my skin gets congested from all of the sunscreen and sweat from being outdoors. I use a gentle oil cleanser, exfoliate my skin, and then apply a decent layer of this product. This absorbs quickly, does not irritate or dry out my skin, and I can still apply a moisturizer or makeup over top if needed. When I say that I start to see a noticeable result in my skin about an hour after application- I am not lying. I will continue to be loyal to this product and recommend that even people with fairly dry or sensitive skin give it a try!

I bought this to attempt to address some stubborn hormonal acne and to reduce skin texture. I absolutely love it. I've been using it for about 6 months and my acne pick axe scare are visibly smaller. I am also breaking out a lot less which is great. I even had my first facial and the aesthetician comented on what great skin texture I have. Yesterday, I saw the atologist and she said the same thing. \r\n\r\nI have sensitive dry to normal skin. My routine is below in case it is helpful for others considering this solution.\r\nAM: Wash with Cerave Hydrating Cleaners, Buffet with Copper Peptides, Cetaphil Daily Hydrating Lotion, SPF 15\r\nPM: Was with Cerave Hyrdating Facial Cleanser, Glycolic Acid 7% toning solution, Cetaphil Daily Hydrating Lotion\r\n2x/week AHA 2% peeling solution (these evenings I do the same PM but don't use the Glycolic Acid toning solution)

ChicagoGirl4 years ago

I really like this product. I've used for a long time and it has a nice gentle exfoliation. \r\n\r\nI do have a question though. I note the products have detailed information on this site (which I LOVE) and the conflicts have led to more questions for me. IF a user has used conflicting products together without any adverse effect, is it ok to keep doing so, or should the routine be reworked to avoid using conflicting products together? \r\n\r\nI also don't understand the following comment from your site about this product: \r\nNote: While exfoliating acids can result in quick visible benefits, we generally suggest indirect forms of skin exfoliation in favour of direct forms such as this formula due to potential inflammation and sensitivity associated with acids. Please refer to NIOD's Non-Acid Acid Precursor for such a reference.

This product has changed the game for my adult acne!I have oily, sensitive, dry skin. Yes, even when it's overproducing oil, it's still dry.I bought this product with hyaluronic acid + the moisturizer. The moisturizer I use only at night, as it is a bit too thick for day time use, but it also is good to put on after the Glycolic acid to reduce dryness by the acid**.There was an adjustment period with this, as they describe it is a bit tough on sensitive skin. So I started with every other day and now apply it every night. Best purchase by far to break down any build up to stop the acne before it occurs. I also noticed my acne is less cycstic than it used to be. CAUTION ABOUT THE SUN!!! This product does make your skin more prone to burns and brown spots by sun exposure. SPF is your friend with this stuff. I kind of learned the hard way with this one. Worth the try if you are acne prone!

MK4 years ago

Sooo..I find this too harsh on my face. I guess I'm just not as oily as I used to be, due to all the ordinary goodness (Niacinamide, Retinol etc.), so this one I now use on my back and arms, skin clears up and feels great! I also put this in my armpits to prevent sweating, a hack I learned from a blogger. My prefered AHA for now is the mandelic acid.

This is a gentle and highly effective formula. I've used this for about a year and it has changed my skin for the better. I have Sjogren's syndrome so my skin can get painfully dry, inflamed and irritated. I did some research on stimulating the skins natural turnover process and decided to try a direct acid to stimulate collagen and my skin's own moisture. At first I only left this on for 20 minutes at night 3 days a week, and worked my way up to overnight 3 days a week. For the first time in years my skin doesn't constantly burn and itch from dryness. This not only made my skin look better, but it gave me relief from years of discomfort. And it also got rid of blackheads on my nose! Happy bonus! I use hyaluronic acid and natural moisturizing factors during the day and it compliments the glycolic acid at night. Wonderful product!

J'utilise ce produit depuis seulement 4 jours et je remarque déjà les effets. Mes potes se ressèrent et les points noirs disparaissent au fur et à mesure des jours.Quelques petits picotements après se font ressentir mais cette sensation ne dure que quelque seconde. Je connais en ce moment une légère période de purge (points blancs qui ressortent sur le bas des jours et le front) mais au vu de la vitesse à laquelle mes pores se referment, c'est un mal pour un bien !

First Impressions - I have been using the product along with the lactic acid 5% for one week to help with my milia. Because of my sun damage from not wearing sun screen as a kid and through my teens i have hard white bumps on my check bones and near my eyes/lids and around my nose. As such I have been recommended to use acids to help with exfoliation, cell turn over, and to help reduce pore clogging and prevent the milia from returning. With one week of daily evening/night use half of my bumps, the smaller ones are gone and the larger ones have diminished in half their size. Only long term use will show if it prevents them from returning. I plan to reduce the frequency once the remaining bumps diminish to 2-3x per week to maintain. I will post an update after I have gone through two bottles of each as skin care takes several weeks/months to know its true results.

I love this toner so much I've bought it for my friend who also suffers from adult acne. I have a science degree and I love how this company explains the product, research behind it, and effectiveness. It really shows they know what they are talking about. I used to be on Rodan & Fields but it was SO expensive and they were very ambiguous/unclear about the active ingredients. That's why at Deciem I love that I know exactly what each ingredient is for and what I'm getting. This toner transformed my skin and helped with acne and, dry flakes, and dullness. I stockpile this so I never run out! HIGHLY recommend adding this to your regimen if you are acne prone or have dullness! This is so affordable! I totally do not trust any other skin care company now, seeing as how much they markup the product and how unclear it is on what is actually in the product.

MS5 years ago

For whatever reason, I got acne in my 30s and not teens. That being said, I ordered this for myself and another for my sister. Her skin began to glow (and I really mean glow) in around 3 days. For me, it took closer to a week to see improvements but they did arrive and it really, really works. I dab some on my back as well and have seen dramatic (and, yes, I mean dramatic) improvement in a week as well. If you have open sores or active acne, it will sting, so follow instructions closely and go easy on the toner but it does get better and you won't feel the pain after a few days. If you don't have this, get it. I use it along with Niacinamide and Lactic Acid and have seen pretty steady improvement ever since I started. SERIOUSLY recommend!!! It beats going on Acutane like my suggested, cannot praise this product highly enough.

This bottle is huge! Will last you at least 6 moth or more if you use it every night. Didn't see a huge difference with it though, especially when I compare it to other similar products (from much more brand I should say). But for the price this is a good solid product. \n\n Haven't had any problems with it at all in terms of irritation, except for those nights when I've shaved the same morning. So stay away from that if you know that you're sensitive.\n\n One thing that bothers me is that it sometimes turns white when you stoke it over the skin with a make up pad. DECIEM Response: We're so happy to hear that you are enjoying The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution. Please note only 2-3 drops of the product would be enough for the entire face. We hope this helps!
