    Effective and a bargain

    After trying the Pixi Glow Tonic I was hooked on glycolic acid as a toner but wanted to try something slightly stronger. The Ordinary's option was a great alternative and for a fraction of the price. One of the greatest selling points to me was that this product is unscented. I find this a bit strong to use daily so I use it in the evening every other night alternating with a retinol. I'm halfway done my first bottle and already purchased my second as a backup.

    Strong and Effective

    Use this product about three times a week. It is a very good price for the product. The products is very effective toner but it is very strong. Makes the face itchy with the reaction of the acid. Use this in the night time routine.

    Exfoliates and tones, but not for me

    This product really exfoliates and left my skin feeling very clean. I had used it after I took off my makeup, and this toner had removed the residue that I wouldn't have known was left on my face. My skin did feel tight after using this product, and I would have to use a thick moistuzier to combat this. Unfortunately, this product broke me out pretty badly a lot after using it a few different times. For the price point, this product is definitely worth it if it is what you're looking for and it works on your skin. I would recommend it for this reason, as it may not break everyone out and while I used it, it did what it said it would do.

    Broke me out!

    I brought this toner because I have uneven skin and textured issues with my skin . I have very dry sensitive skin and was hoping this product would work for me because I've heard so many good things about it . I was disappointed since this product broke me out and caused my skin dry out . I love the price point of this product and I love and use other Deciem products . I don't think this product is good for those with super sensitive skin because it might be too strong.

    .

    Well, I don't care for how this feels upon application, it's kind of itchy and it feels like it sits on my skin for a long time, BUT it does yield results. I'm happy with those results. Since adding this into my skincare routine I have seen a significant decrease in acne and my skin tone has evened out. I will absolutely buy this toner again.

    What is this product actually supposed to do?!

    After using this product and the entire bottle, which lasted several months, I must say that there was no noticeable difference in my skin whatsoever. When I applied the product, I definitely experienced the immediate effects of burning and irritation; however, I wouldn't say that this product is effective in its promised results.

    Good in the long run

    My skin didn't like this at first, but I'm pretty sure this is what's keeping it so fresh looking and smooth. Took a few weeks to get used to it. I use it daily in the PM instead of toner. Try it!

    I already know this is a lifetime staple

    I can’t get over the value of this product. I’ve been using it for a couple weeks and the texture of my skin has been fantastic and my pores are so much smaller. There was a bit of a burning sensation the first few uses, but it wasn’t terrible and it definitely didn’t last. I use this after washing my face, before moisturizer.

    There’s a reason it flies off the shelves.

    I am a 27 year old female with combination, sensitive and acne prone skin. This year I discovered the beauty of actives. I suffer from blackheads for which I use a great BHA, but my skin desperately needed an AHA as well to combat bumpy, uneven texture and white heads. Let me tell you, the internet goes crazy for this stuff. It is a great beginner product for actives. I find it gentle enough to use a few times a week, and I notice immediate changes in the morning. The bumpy ness in my forehead has significantly decreased in just a few weeks usage, and I haven’t seen a whitehead since. The product has a lovely and light berry scent and a little goes a long way. It’s an amazing value at $8 for 240ml and the bottle lasts forever. AHAs do promote photosensitivity so ensure you wear an SPF the morning after use, and always be sure to moisturize post actives.

    Amaizing Value!

    I was finally able to get my paws on this toning solution from The Ordinary (it was sold out for months).This product claims that skin will appear more radiant along with visible clarity, and improved skin texture after continued use. I have only used this a handful of times I am still impressed with the results it was able to give me. Of course, as with any acid containing product do not forget to apply sunscreen!!! (Or else I will be very angry with you lol) I highly recommend!
