Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use The Ordinary Glycolic Acid Toner every day?
While formulated for daily use, if you are new to chemical exfoliants, start by using it 2 to 3 times a week and gradually build up frequency as your skin develops tolerance.
Can this toner be used on the body?
Yes. Thanks to its clarifying properties, many users successfully apply it to rough body textures, bumpy areas on arms (KP), or underarms to smooth and brighten.
Will this toner cause skin purging?
Because it accelerates cell turnover, you may experience minor initial purging or breakouts as trapped congestion comes to the surface. This typically subsides within a couple of weeks.
Is The Ordinary Glycolic Acid Toner sold on Livish guaranteed to be authentic?
Yes. At Livish, we source our inventory directly through authorized distribution networks. Every bottle is 100% genuine, original, and safely imported.
