If you're a little shy of trying an acid, The Ordinary's Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner (240ml) is a great place to start.

Starring its namesake, glycolic acid (an alpha hydroxy acid), this water-based toning solution is your new go-to for effective yet mild exfoliation. It's infused with a Tasmanian pepperberry derivative to help reduce redness, alongside hydrating ginseng and soothing aloe vera. The results? Refined and improved texture and tone, a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and our favourite: a luminous complexion.
