Touch 7% Glycolic Acid Toner 6 oz

Overview

Touch Skin Care's toner combines 7% glycolic acid with rose water, witch hazel and aloe vera gel in a 6 ounce, alcohol and oil free gel.

At 7%, the glycolic acid concentration sits at a moderate exfoliating strength, paired with soothing ingredients like aloe vera and witch hazel rather than left as a standalone acid toner. It is marketed toward wrinkles, dullness, uneven pores, skin tone and texture, and carries a rose scent from the rose water base. The gel texture differentiates it from older liquid astringent toners.

• 7% glycolic acid gel toner
• Contains rose water, witch hazel and aloe vera
• Alcohol and oil free
• 6 fluid ounce bottle

Who it's for

Anyone wanting a moderate-strength glycolic acid toner across most skin types fits here, since it is labeled for combination, dry, normal, oily and sensitive skin alike. Those new to acid toners should still patch test first, regardless of the soothing ingredients included.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Glycolic acid works by loosening the bonds between dead skin cells, and at 7% this sits below prescription-strength peels while still active enough to affect texture and tone over repeated use. The gel format and inclusion of aloe vera and witch hazel are meant to offset the acid's potential for irritation.
