Awards & Features

Understanding AHA Exfoliation

Glycolic acid is the smallest Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA), allowing it to penetrate deeper into skin for effective exfoliation. Unlike physical scrubs that can cause micro-tears, chemical exfoliation gently dissolves dead skin cells, revealing brighter, smoother skin underneath.

The Science: At 10% concentration with a pH of 3.6-4.0, this formula provides impactful exfoliation while remaining suitable for most skin types. The addition of 5% Witch Hazel helps control oil and minimize irritation.

    Answer To My Prayers

    A lil birdey told me of the benefits derived from armpit swabbing with Glycolic Acid; this toner fills the need as does the stick. Thank you for this quality product - they work.

    Hi, thank you for giving it a try and for your honest feedback - we're sorry our Glycolic Toner didn't work out for you! The sticky feeling and slow absorption are definitely not the experience we'd want you to have.
    Please don't hesitate to reach out to our Customer Experience Team (ask@theinkeylist.com) — they'd love to help find something better suited to your skin within the INKEY range. 💙
