A great skincare product!
This glycolic acid toner from The Ordinary has made a significant difference in my skincare routine. After incorporating it twice a week, I noticed a noticeable improvement in my skin texture within just two weeks. As someone with oily, acne-prone skin, this product has effectively helped to reduce the tiny bumps on my face and made my skin appear brighter and less dull. In addition to using it on my face, I've also found it to be effective at eliminating underarm odor. This was an unexpected but pleasant surprise. Overall, I'm a huge fan of this toner and appreciate that it was gifted by The Ordinary. I would highly recommend it to others who are dealing with similar skin issues.

My new favourite skincare product!
As someone dealing with adult acne, I've been using this product for about 1.5 months and I'm seeing a big difference. In the beginning, there was some irritation but my skin has adjusted. My dark spots are fading and my skin is plump and less bumpy.

Great for oily skin!
This item was gifted by the ordinary, but it has been a staple in my skin care routine for years! This serum works great for my oily, acne prone skin, and helps to get rid of dark spots, while also minimizing oiliness and the appearance of pores.
