Amazing product
I have been using this for 3 weeks and previously have been struggling with acne on one side of my face for quite sometime and it’s helping clear that right up I’ll definatly be ordering againI like this
I like the way my skin feels after using this, I use it probably twice a week. Definitely can occasionally sting if you’ve got any open skin or if you’re sensitive. I find my skin doesn’t get as congested when I’m using this regularlyHelped my skin!
Helped with getting rid of my razor rash tremendously well!Amazing
This product is amazing. It helped clear my acne and dark spotsIt’s ok
Does the job and my pores and white heads have definitely reduced since using. I use once a day in the evening after cleaning. Place a small amount on a cotton pad and wipe over my face before moisturiser. I wish it had of come with the top as pictured. Comes with a plain screw on lid and can be kinda messyA bit harsh for me
I love the ordinary products but this one didn’t quite suit my skin. I don’t know whether I was using it in combination with the wrong serums but it definitely felt a bit too harsh for me and like it was upsetting my skin and causing more breakouts. The price is great though so maybe just make sure you’re using in conjunction with the right products.Magic in a bottle
Use this 3-4 times a week and my skin texture has improved tremendously. Enlarged pores around the nose are visibly reduced. I use this on my underarms to reduce the hyperpigmentation tooAn excellent toner!
This toner is great and the price point is fantastic. A little goes a long way, so one bottle will last you a while.Good
I only use at night its good suit me.Ok
Bought after hearing a review on the product from the Beauty IQ Podcast, it was ok, but don't reach for it.All round amazing
I use this everywhere! It works well on underarms, backs of my knees and my arms. I also use it once every couple weeks on my scalp when I go to wash my hair and massage it in and let it sit for a couple minutes which always leaves my hair and scalp feeling extra clean and refreshed.worthy to try
Recommended by my friend and think of the price it’s worthy to tryGreat value
Keeps my skin glowing and great value for the productDaily essential to skin routine!
I use this product on my face every morning and night after cleansing. Up to my second bottle now! Its essential in my skin care routine, evens my skin tone well. Best toner ive tried, wish i had discovered it sooner. You can even use it under your arm pits to prevent deodorant build up and reduce smell after a shower.Great for body
This is a great acid for my body but it’s a bit harsh for my face. Still love it though.Love love love
Is great on the skin also great as a substitute for deodorant occasionallyMay not work for sensitive skin
This wasn't the best product for my sensitive skin, leaving quite a bit of redness. Proceed with caution or temper expectations if you have sensitive skin as it may not work for youGreat affordable option
I use this as an all over body exfoliant. The price point is so good.Great toner
On my first bottle and it’s been great! Feels fresh after use, helps with congestion and build up.Great price
I’m a 47yo trying this brand for the first time as I have used alpha h for over 20yrs. I found the ordinary glycolic acid toner to be a wonderful toner and similar to alpha h liquid gold at a fantastic price but it just doesn’t give you the same glow as alpha h liquid gold. I have sensitive skin and get a bit of a tingle to both brands due to the glycolic acid but I wouldn’t be without it.Great All rounder
I use it for different things. When my skin feels rough, I use this. I also use this for my pits , and it doesn't make me smelly after a long day. I also use it for darken areas to lighten them up a bit, and I've also used it for my scalp. Amazing product for a great price. 👍Holy grail
This does wonders for my smelly underarms and I use it occasionally on my faceSkin + Hair
This product and its multi use is amazing. I’ve legit used it in my skin care night time routine and it’s done wonders and then I use it during my everything shower in my hair and it helps with the dandruff and dryness. Totally recommend.Ok, but not wow
Bought on recommendation, used a few times but not reaching for it.good product
this is good for back acne and i use it as deodorant at night and it works wellWorth the schedule
I used this a few years ago and loved it so I didn’t hesitate to buy it again (rather than liquid gold which I love but just cannot justify the price when this one does the job for so much less) only to come to learn I can’t use it at the same time as 90% of the other products now in my routine. That’s on me though and I’ll just have to alternate this inGood for the body
Works well in a spray bottle for any body and back blemishes, good sized bottle too.Effective and affordable.
I’ve been using this toner for quite a while now, I’ve repurchased several times. The bottle lasts ages and sometimes you get a nozzle applicator with it, sometimes you don’t. If you get one with the nozzle, save it for later, incase you get one without! It makes it much easier to use. I use this toner on my underarms, face, back and back of neck as I get congested pores in these places. I also mi...Read MoreMust have
Great cleanser on my skin type (normal). Good to use every couple of day and non-oily or heavy when applied. I just use moisturizer after this since it is a bit harsh if combine with retinol or other stronger serumsWonderful product
Made my skin super glowyLove
Have been using this as deodorant which seems to work well. Also on my bumpy arms which seems to help the keratosis.Great product
Such a versatile product - great for the whole body.Recommend
This product has helped reduces my dark spots and stretch marks. I love using this.Wonderful product
After reading the reviews of other customers, I thought might as-well give it a go. And the price is so reasonable. The product works great and I got it to help remove my boot line on my ankles from a long wear over winter. This was making my tanning job look horrible :( Even exfoliating was not helping, until I tried this product. After a couple of applications, it refreshed my skin, dry boot lin...Read Moregreat
tightens my pores on my combination/oily skin. i only use this a few nights a week.Good toner
Reasonably priced and is a great toner. A bit thick quality but still goodA decent basic.
This is good, but not great. A little too one note for my mature skin. I dare say it works better on younger skin. Definitely well-priced.Nice for glowy skin
Not the best glycolic acid out there but it does the job. Also a little bit stickygreat for body exfoliation
I swap the lid to a spray nozzle and use it on my body once a week to exfoliate. It helps to fade old self tan and leaves my skin so smooth! No longer need to scrub scrub scrub my self tan off. (thanks Hannah)Great
I love this Glycolic acid toner. I use it on my pits to stop the smell and in dark areas and it noticeably lightens it.This is my third purchase.Amazing
Amazing and would get againEssential
I don't know how I lived before this stuff! I've had adverse effects with other glycolic toners, including weird breakouts when I've used other brands. But The Ordinary's formula is just excellent, and I also use this to help with pigmentation, blotchiness and roughness on my arms and chest as well as my face.For the arm pits
I know this is odd but I use this on my under arms and it’s helps with smell and the dark appearance it’s done wonders  Great value glycolic toner
I wanted to get something to clear my skin tone and hydrate my skin to clear up slight wrinkles. I previously got this in the set and decided to buy it on its own later. It lasts for a LONG time with such a large bottle and is at a great price. I do have sensitive and sometimes dry skin so I couldn't keep using it all the time as I would like but it's another good quality product from The Ordinary...Read MoreMixed emotions
I would not use this on the face if you have sensitive skin or if you don’t have the need for it, but it can be multiple purpose (please look into it and do your own research for your skins sake) and for the amount you get… it’s alrightToned
Haven’t really felt much different by using it. The only thing was it left my skin feeling much clean and firm.Starting to see results
I use this on my arms, to help with little bumps. I've started to notice a difference after a few weeks, skin feels smoother and less inflamedworks well for short term use
The first few times using it cleared my bumps overnight however after using it recently it hasn’t worked, i think my skin had gotten used to itA staple in my routine
I absolutely love this product. Might be a little too harsh as a regular toner for your face, but it does absolute wonders for my entire body. I use it under my arms, use it as a scalp treatment before hair wash days about once a month. Works great for exfoliating your entire body! Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a product with multiple uses for their routine!So many uses
I really like the product and I will definitely repurchase. I have been using it in so many ways and it is so helpful. I have struggled with back acne and strawberry arms for longest period of time and this product definitely helps with that. Further, it has great antiperspirant benefits.All-round work horse!
This toner is great for body, arms , legs as a exfoliating agent. Great for adding to a foot bath to soften dead skin on heels . I even dab a little on my wet scalp for occasional build up of hair products, or massaging into fingers and softening cuticles on fingers.Daily toner
Love this toner, even my husband uses it. Onto my third bottle now and I use it every night, love that it doesn’t make my skin feel tight or dryThe best
The best product can use it for anythin!!Bit Harsh
Bit strong to use on my face but I like to use it on my scalp before showering to really give it a deep clean. I also like to use this on my body to prevent ingrown hairsHoly grail
I use this on my underarms as deodorant omg it works so well I can’t even believe it!Hmmmm
It did nothing for my face but love using on the rest of my bodyGreat product
It really helped with the bumps on my legsThe best
This stuff will be in my repertoire forever. Use it for keratosis pilaris or strawberry arms/legs. Use it under your arms for an antiperspirant effect. Use it on your face as a great chemical exfoliant. It does it all!!Only one so far doesn't irritate my skin
I have sensitive skin, and this is the only one so far out of all toners that I used doesn't irritate my skin. I use it every second day.Really good
I started with the revolution 5% and moved up to this. Both are pretty good I do think I like the ordinary betterGood
I like this as a body exfoliant. I put in a spray bottle for a weekly exfoliant.Amazing
This gets rid of texture and bumps. I use it on my face and bodySoft glowey skin
I use this twice daily with no issues… I absolutely love it!Please read This
I was a bit skeptic because I had seen some bad reviews but it was amazing it didn't work for some people but I hope it works for youIt works really well with pigmentation
Amazing results , i used to use pixi glow tonic found this as cheaper option really loved itGood toner
This toner is a great toner. I use it on my armpits to lighten and my skin for hyperpigmentation. Feels light on my skin and comes in a nice bottle and screw lid for easy application.For oily skin
Not great on dry skin, makes it very tight and sore - probably better on an oilier skin, definitely good at removing sebumOkay
I used it on my armpits but it takes time to get rid of the odour and brighten your pitsGood as a deodorant
I saw online that you could use this both as a toner and as a deodorant and it really works. I cant use spray on deodorant as I have asthma and I dont love the roll on ones either, so this is a really great alternative. I also use this on my legs as I have keratosis pilaris and its been a little bit helpful with the bumps on my skin.Favourite toner
I’m was not a toner person but after looking into what toners do I thought to give this baby a try and all I can say is OMG how much it has made my pores smaller you can barely see them even with make up onGood product
Good product to use to get rid of uneven skin tones. Did feel like I had to use it for a little while to see results, and use consistentlygreat value, versatile, easy to use
for starters, I do not use this on my face and I never will. I use it on my dry feet and my arms and legs because I have keratosis pilaris and I haven't been using it for long but I can already see it is working well. So many people use it for all sorts of things too, (I see some people using it as a prewash on their scalp) so it's very versatile. the nozzle it comes with is so great and makes it ...Read Moreperfect for underarms and scalp
I strongly believe this is far too strong for the face for an average person, and so I use it on my underarms and scalp. It controls odour and prevents darkness in my underarms and is really effective and exfoliating my scalp and getting rid of dandruff, leaving my hair nice and soft.Good
I have tried this toner once and I must say that it is quite good. The results are as good as when I use more expensive toners. It seems to be suitable for my combination skin. Highly recommended!Great for feet!
After reading an Adore Beauty article on fixing dry AF feet, I tried this solution for my tootsies. It works brilliantly as the first step in removing dead skin, followed by a physical scrub, then a foot cream, then fluffy socks.Good
Mild exfoliator without irritating the skin.Great
Great budget glycolic option. Does the job and great for areas such as body and feet.Good!
It can be a tad drying and irritating at first and I would recommend only use every second day to start with however once your skin adjusts, it is worth it. I did notice my skin appeared brighter!Wasn't for me
I found this really drying and didn't really know what I was waiting for it to do. I used to use a product similar to this years ago and expected the same experience, but unfortunately, this one just didn't align with my skin type. I feel like you would need to have extremely oily skin for this to feel nice.Great Glycolic!
Bought this as a gentle introduction to using glycolic on my skin. Nervous first timer as I've had reactions to multiple products but this did not irritate. Yet to see results, but can feel them already. Well priced and well tolerated, would recommend for multiple uses on face and body.Inexpensive
I have probably used better exfoliants... But for this price.... This is what I use all over my body twice a week, sometimes head to toe. Followed by a niacinamide moisturiser. Helps underarms, bumps, pigmentation, exfoliation and ageing.Smells somewhat like peaches to me.Body Acne
I discovered this product via the Beauty IQ podcast and Hannah's recommendation for using the solution on back acne. It really does work! Although I do not use it everyday, I use the spray bottle method 2-3 times a week. It is helping to keep those pesky pimples at bay.Highly recommend
What's not to love? Consistent use removes dead skin, leaving you with a much brighter, smoother complexion. While I find that this can be more drying than a lactic acid, it is not nearly as harsh as some glycolic formulas I've tried.Long-term fave
Have used this a couple of times a week for years - love how it leaves your skin feeling tingly clean and clear. Is incredible value for money too (the bottle is enormous & lasts ages).Game changer
I started using this during covid lockdown as had lots of time to focus on my skin. Within a week or two I noticed how much it had cleared up my blemishes (think whiteheads), and gave my skin a beautiful glowy look. I must have for my skin care regime.Amazing
I use this once a week or once every two weeks and it leaves my skin radiant and removes whiteheadsLeaves your skin feeling clean
Great product. I generally have oily and acne prone skin and since using this product it has reduced some of the congestion around my chin. It does cause slight tingling of the skin after use but I don't have sensitive skin, so it doesn't cause me irritation. I'm already on my second purchase of this.a little strong for my face
I have to be super sparing when using this on my face but I love it on my KP and on my armpits to help minimise odour. will be using this religiously come summertime.A good toner
So good a great toning solution very gentle on the skin and a fantastic priceVersatile
Not only do I use this on my face but also on my elbows, knees, and feet to keep them soft. I sometimes use it as deodorant as it eliminates any odour. Love a multi use product!Nice
Very nice for my acne prone skin, value for money.Love
Great product and has helped keep my skin nice and clear and smoothSmaller Pores!
Used along with other Ordinary products, I have actually managed to make my pores less visible!!!Amazing!
Great savey alternative to Alpha H liquid gold. I use this on my face, chest, back, arms and elbows, and feet. Vey happy with it and its a great size.Amazing for Oily Skin
This does a good job at removing my oils.Too drying but...
Way too drying for my oily skin but I do think it's good as a deodorant (gets rid of smells effectively)Nice
improved skin radiance and visible clarityGood quality for the price
Great toner for the price! Does what it says but does dry the skin out.Great
Improves skin radiance and offers visibly improved clarityGood
