facetheory Glycolacsal Solution T4 - Glycolic Acid Face Toner, Exfoliates & Promotes Skin Renewal, Minimizes Pores, Hydrates and Restores, Vegan & Cruelty-Free, Made in UK | 6.8 fl oz

I do use this on my face and like the results. I also like the company's ethics and shorter ingredient lists. After buying I read that glycolic acid works as a deodorant and that's true (for me; YMMV). I bought a roller application bottle and am happily stink free.

This is a gentle but effective toner that works well with my dry, sensitive skin. I thought the concentration of glycolic acid might be a bit too high, but my skin tolerates this well. I use it on my entire face and neck twice a week, but I do apply it to the T-Zone well, really just the I-Zone (nose & chin) more frequently to help clear my enlarged pores. I might work up to using it more frequently but for right now, twice a week is really all I need to help make my skin feel smooth. I've been using a cleanser and a serum from this brand that both contain AHAs on a limited basis, and I'm very happy with how well they work to exfoliate my skin without stripping my skin or causing irritation. So I was happy to have a chance to try this toner, as well. I followed the recommendation to do a spot test first -- it is something I do on all of my skin care products before using them for the first time. I also waited a few days after applying it for the first time before trying it again. I apply fairly lightly; it feels cool and refreshing and does deliver a slight sting, but doesn't cause any redness or other negative effects. My face feels really clean after using this, but it is not overly drying. The toner is housed in a dark amber glass pour-style bottle so it is easy to use with a cotton ball. The current price of $20.99 seems quite reasonable for more than six ounces of the product. It arrived properly sealed.

Excellent exfoliator, but I hate the bottle. Twist cap off, huge opening. Not convenient whatsoever, and no matter how careful I am, some gets wasted each time.It's great when used twice a week at night before my Stratia Liquid Gold (purchased from Stratia's site, not Amazon). A little strong if you're not used to acids.

This is a good toner. I use it 2-3 times a week before I go to bed – only on my oily t-zone. It tingles a little when it is applied but it disappears quickly & does not irritate my sometimes sensitive skin. I regularly use a face cleanser with glycolic acid & salicylic acid so my skin handles this well. There is no added perfume - that is great.Yes, there is a warning about going in the sun/wearing sunscreen if you are using this – that is also the case with cleansers containing BHA’s (salicylic acid) & AHA’s (glycolic acid & lactic acid). Because they are helping your skin exfoliate, they can make your skin more sensitive to sun so you should use a sunscreen – something you should be doing anyway. I prefer to use a toner that is left on the skin at night.I have never found my skin sunburns more readily when using cleansers, etc. with these ingredients. Some people do have more sensitive skin & you should take caution until you know how your skin will react. You should be using sunscreen on your face every day even if you are not using these ingredients.

I love this product and I am very grateful for it! I have very sensitive skin that is prone to breakouts and dryness and I have struggled to find a good toner that does not cause issues for me. I started out with the mini size, loved it... purchased a full size and have been using it for about 1-2 months and was SURE to purchase abackup during the sale. This product will last a while but I did not want to run the risk of running out. Now, for claims. Hydration. YES. I use a thin layer of this overnight as a night moisturizer and wake up to hydrated but not greasy. I think some folks may be running into issues applying this like a MASK (big thick layer). You truly only need a thin layer to get beautiful hydration. Plump. I never really know what this is supposed to mean and I feel it goes hand in hand with hydration. Brightening. This isalways hard to evaluate however I do struggle withhyperpigmentation caused by hormonal breakouts and I find that that hyperpigmentation has been fading on a quicker timeline since I have begun using this so I will say that even though I think it is very hard to evaluate a claim like "brightens" I do feel like those dark spots are responding well to the vitamin C in this product. Clean. Everyone's skin is different and sensitive skin is a fickle beast. This has NOT caused issues for me with sensitivity, breakouts, allergic reactions. great stuff

Pretty sure I’ve tried all the ingredients that are in this toner, just not together in 1 product!And it works meaning, first & foremost, it does no harm. My skin is super sensitive, very dry, 60 years old & I abused the heck out of it sun-wise over the years.So I need something gentle yet effective & this toner does it. I use a flat cotton pad & swipe it all over after cleansing.First it feels cool, then there’s a tingle, almost stinging sensation - pleasant, not pain. I’ve found that my skin feels really smooth, fewer dry patches, & very clean. I use it at night &, the next morning, a quick rinse leaves me with soft, cared for skin.I will be ordering more after this is gone!**Thank you for reading this review & I hope that it’s Helpful!** 😊
