FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions about Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Toner
What is a glycolic acid exfoliating toner?
A glycolic acid toner is an AHA lotion that gently exfoliates the skin's surface without leaving any granules. It helps to visually smooth texture and improve radiance. Its purpose is purely cosmetic: appearance and comfort, without any medical claims.
What is the use of glycolic acid in facial care?
Glycolic acid helps to gradually remove dead skin cells from the surface. Expected results: softer skin, a clearer complexion, and a more visually even texture. The best strategy is gradual application: it's better to space out treatments and maintain consistency over time.
What does AHA mean?
AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids) are chemical exfoliants used in cosmetics to improve radiance and texture. They offer more even exfoliation than some scrubs, provided that the recommended frequency, hydration, and sun protection are maintained the following day.
Is glycolic acid the same as glycolic acid?
Yes. Glycolic acid is the English name for glycolic acid . It's the same active ingredient. What matters: applying it in the evening, using it regularly, following a simple routine afterwards, and using sunscreen the next day.
Why choose a toner rather than a scrub?
An exfoliating toner works without rubbing: it avoids harsh grains. This can make exfoliation more even and "cleaner." The right choice depends on your skin's tolerance: gentle, repeatable exfoliation is better than an overly aggressive scrub.
How often should a glycolic tonic be used?
Start with one evening per week . If your skin remains comfortable, increase to two evenings per week . Using it too frequently increases the risk of discomfort. The key to success lies in consistency and proper application.
How to apply an exfoliating lotion without making a mistake?
Apply in the evening to clean, dry skin using a cotton pad or your hands. Avoid the eye area and irritated areas. Follow with a simple cream. If you experience a persistent burning sensation, extend the time between applications.
Is it necessary to rinse after using a glycolic acid toner?
Generally, no, unless specifically indicated on the product. If you experience unusual discomfort, you can rinse and reduce the frequency. Comfortable skin heals better than skin that feels tight.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
This can be the case if you are strict: local testing, low frequency, and a short routine. If significant redness, burning, or persistent discomfort occurs, stop. In case of a severe reaction, medical advice remains the safest option.
Can multiple exfoliants be used in the same routine?
It's best to avoid it. Using multiple exfoliants increases the risk of irritation and imbalance. A single, well-chosen exfoliant, used at the right time, often gives better results: more stable skin, a more even texture, and a simpler routine.
Can a glycolic toner help dull skin?
Yes, from a cosmetic standpoint. Exfoliation helps reveal a smoother surface, which improves radiance. For a clean result: use it at a reasonable frequency, moisturize, and apply sunscreen the next day.
What results can be expected on skin texture?
You can expect gradual smoothing: softer skin, a more visually even texture, and makeup that adheres less. Results are built up with consistency. If your skin becomes uncomfortable, slow down.
Is a glycolic acid peel the same as a toner?
The term “peeling” can refer to more concentrated products or a professional procedure. Glycolic tonic is generally part of a gradual routine. If you are a beginner, start with a low frequency and adjust according to your tolerance.
What should be done after use?
After use: comfortable hydration, no irritating ingredients the same evening, and sun protection the next morning . AHAs can increase sun sensitivity: SPF is essential for maintaining a consistent routine.
How do you know if this toner is right for you?
The right toner is one you can use without discomfort: softer skin, a clearer complexion, and a more consistent routine. If you experience burning, marked redness, or significant peeling, you're using it too soon.
This exfoliating toner is a cosmetic product: it aims to improve the appearance and comfort of the skin. It is not a substitute for medical advice in case of significant or persistent irritation, or a marked reaction.
