The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner Renewal 7% Glycolic Acid Toner

I bought this tonic in Europe. Previously, I used a product with 5% glycolic acid, so my skin is accustomed to acids. I like the scent of this tonic as it reduces and dries out both small pimples on the face and inflamed acne. This product really cleanses the skin and makes it more even. However, it can cause slight redness if the skin is sensitive. For this reason, I give it 4 stars, not 5.

The product turned out to be too aggressive for the face. However, as the girls mentioned below, it can be used to wipe underarms, including for hyperkeratosis (which I have on my feet). I also discovered its use as a scalp exfoliator, yes! Just apply and massage for a couple of minutes before washing. But it's not advisable to use it too often.

The tonic is fantastic! At first, I didn't notice any changes, but after 1.5 months of use, the black spots, pimples, and clogged pores started disappearing. After 3 months, my skin was completely cleared; only acne marks remained, but the tonic works wonders for that too! My skin gradually becomes smoother and more even in color. It's worth mentioning that it's very economical (I used only 1/3 of the bottle for the entire period of daily use).

Do not take it if your facial skin has been treated with external retinoids for acne. It is very aggressive. However, it is suitable for the body and helps lighten post-acne marks from individual pimples.

I read a lot of positive comments and decided to order this product for myself. If only I had known what a mistake I was making! I had good skin, just a few closed comedones on my chin. This "miracle" product caused severe breakouts like I've never experienced before. Of course, I continued using it, hoping for a miracle. After two months of use, my skin is in terrible condition. These underlying pimples cannot be treated with anything, and the red marks left by other pimples cannot be covered with any foundation. It seems like I just had bad luck. This lotion is awful.

I really liked this product. It is very effective (but don't expect immediate results). Previously, I had a lot of comedones on my forehead that created a terrible texture, as well as a few red-brown spots on my cheeks. This product really saved me. I have been using it for over two months.

~Cleansing period~

(This is when comedones or breakouts, located deep under the skin, get inflamed after using acids, retinol, etc.)

-It happens practically to everyone, so don't be scared,
And if it hasn't happened to you, you're lucky (but know that there are only a few like you).

I would say that it is still ongoing for me. But now it's just a few tiny breakouts (in the first few days, I had a few cysts that turned into inflammations. They cleared up in two days).

It is important to use acids, retinol, etc. correctly:

1. Apply only in the evening and on dry skin.
2. Moisturize with cream after application (after 15 minutes).
3. Wear sunscreen in the morning.
4. Do not squeeze breakouts!

Also, it is important not to use it every day. I started using it once a week (for two to three weeks). Now I use it twice a week and don't plan on increasing.

Now my forehead is free from comedones, and the post-acne marks have disappeared (only a tiny trace remains from the dark brown spots). I still have a few inflammations, but they are very minor and will go away in a day or two.

These are just my recommendations. If you have severe acne, I recommend consulting a specialist to avoid making it worse.

If you have any questions, I will be happy to answer.

At first, I didn't appreciate the tonic because I was using it incorrectly. I took a break and gave it another chance, and I ended up loving it! In the first few weeks of use, my skin became more oily, I had new breakouts, and the quality wasn't great, but that's a normal reaction because acids work by bringing all the imperfections to the surface and getting rid of them! After a month of use, my skin tone became more even, my spots lightened, the number of breakouts and blackheads decreased, my pores became smaller, and my skin looks great and well-groomed!

I use the tonic every other day (or every 3 days), only at night. I always apply a moisturizing and restorative cream to protect my skin's natural barrier. The next day, I use SPF, it's a must to prevent sunburns! There is one downside, it's NOT SUITABLE FOR SENSITIVE SKIN! But for oily/combination skin, it's IDEAL!

Excellent acid tonic for combination/oily skin! It slightly brightens the skin and improves its condition, as well as reduces enlarged pores.

During the first few days, it stung a little, but that may be because I have been using acids for a long time. It's probably not suitable for beginners, but overall, it's great!

Just remember to use it once a day, following the instructions.

I bought this product not here, but on the official website of the brand representative, so counterfeit is excluded. The product leaves a sticky film, and after use, the skin becomes very oily in the T-zone, and breakouts appear (painful red pimples that I had to treat for a long time). I used it for about a month, hoping for results. Maybe I will give the product another chance in the fall because I don't want to waste the money I spent, and the bottle is huge. I absolutely do not recommend it. Initially, I wanted to get the AHA+BHA tonic from Noreva, but ended up buying this one. Read all the reviews and don't expect magic. It's better to consult a dermatologist from the beginning.

I didn't buy it here. The toner is good; after using it for 2 weeks, it lightened my post-acne marks and reduced the number of inflammations. It didn't cause any irritation or dryness on my skin.
