description

An exfoliating toner for targeting dullness, texture and signs of aging. Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution is an exfoliant targeted at the surface of the skin. It helps improve skin clarity, balance uneven skin tone, and correct texture over time.

I do not really like this glycolic acid. I just don't think it does much, if anything at all. No difference in hyperpigmentation marks or closed comedones. It's as if I don't use anything on my...
