Renewal 7% Glycolic Acid Toner The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution

I bought the tonic in Europe.

Before this, I used a product with 5% glycolic acid, so my skin was accustomed to acid.

I like the scent of this tonic, it reduces and dries out both small pimples on the face and inflamed acne. The skin really gets cleansed thanks to this product and becomes more even.

However, it can cause slight redness if the skin is sensitive. For this reason, I give it 4 stars, not 5.

For the face, it turned out to be too aggressive. But as the girls mentioned below, it can be used to wipe the underarms, including for hyperkeratosis (which I have on my legs). I also discovered it as a scalp skin peel, yes) apply it before washing and massage it for a couple of minutes) but it shouldn't be used frequently.

The tonic is amazing! At first, I didn't notice any changes, but after 1.5 months of use, black spots, pimples, and closed comedones started disappearing. After 3 months, my skin has cleared up completely; there are only some acne scars left, but the tonic works wonders for that too! My skin gradually becomes smoother and more even in color. It's also worth mentioning that it's very economical (I only used 1/3 of the bottle for the entire period of daily use).

Do not buy it if your facial skin is sensitive after acne treatment with external retinoids. It is very aggressive. However, it works fine for the body and helps to 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, I have never experienced such an outbreak in my life. Well, I naturally continued using it and hoped for a miracle. After two months of use, my skin is in terrible condition. These subcutaneous pimples cannot be treated with anything, and the red marks from other pimples that have healed cannot be covered with any foundation. It seems like I just had bad luck, this lotion is disgusting.

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

~Cleaning Period~

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

- It happens practically to everyone, so don't be scared,
And if it didn't happen to you, you're lucky (but know that there are very few people 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 subcutaneous pimples that turned into inflammation. They cleared up in two days).

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

1. Apply only in the evening and on dry skin.
2. Moisturize with a cream after application (after 15 minutes).
3. Use 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 it.

Now my forehead is free of comedones and the post-acne marks have disappeared (only a tiny mark remains from the dark brown spots). I still have a few breakouts currently, but they are diminishing.

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 loved it! In the first few weeks of use, my skin became more oily, new breakouts appeared, and the quality was not great, but this is a normal reaction because the acids work by bringing all the flaws to the surface and getting rid of them! After a month of use: skin tone evened out, spots lightened, the number of breakouts and blackheads decreased, pores narrowed, and the skin looks beautiful and well-groomed!

I use the tonic every other day (or once every three days), only in the evening. I always apply a moisturizing and regenerating cream to protect the skin's natural barrier. The next day, I use SPF, which is essential to prevent sunburn! There is one downside - it is NOT SUITABLE FOR SENSITIVE SKIN! But for oily/combination skin, it is IDEAL!

Excellent acid toner for combination/oily skin! It slightly brightens and improves the condition of the skin, and also slightly reduces enlarged pores.

In the first few days, it caused a tingling sensation, and this is coming from someone who has been using acids for a long time. Maybe not suitable for beginners) but otherwise, it's great! Just use it once a day, according to the instructions.

I bought the product not here, but on the website of the brand's official representative, so counterfeit is excluded. The product forms a sticky film, and after using it, my skin becomes very oily in the T-zone and I develop breakouts (painful red pimples that took a long time to heal). I used it for about a month, hoping for results. I might give the product another chance in the autumn because I don't want to waste my money, and the bottle is huge. I strongly advise against it. I initially wanted to get the AHA+BHA toner from Noreva, but ended up buying this one. Read all the reviews and don't expect miracles. It's better to consult a dermatologist from the start.

I did not buy it here. The tonic is good, after 2 weeks of use, it lightened post-acne and reduced the number of inflammations. It did not cause any irritation or dryness of the skin.
