Good Molecules Glycolic Exfoliating Toner 3.5% Glycolic Acid — 120 ml, Hydrating with Hyaluronic & Aloe for Smoother Even Tone

This lightweight toner combines chemical exfoliation and replenishing hydration to address texture and dullness without over-drying. Formulated with glycolic acid and galactomyces ferment alongside hyaluronic acid and aloe, the product aims to remove dead skin cells while supporting the skin’s moisture layers. It arrives in a 120 ml (4 oz) bottle and is designed to slot into your evening routine before serums and moisturizers.

How does this toner exfoliate without stripping skin?

The toner uses 3.5% glycolic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid that works on the skin’s surface to loosen bonds between dead cells, promoting a smoother texture. Galactomyces ferment complements exfoliation by helping retain moisture, while aloe soothes sensitivity that can accompany resurfacing.

• 3.5% glycolic acid for surface-level chemical exfoliation
• Galactomyces ferment to support hydration and skin feel
• Aloe extract to calm and minimize irritation
• pH balanced to help effective exfoliation without harshness

What hydration does it provide for plumper-looking skin?

Hyaluronic acid in the formula draws moisture into the top skin layers, improving softness and a visibly smoother finish. The combination of humectants and soothing plant extract helps the skin look less dehydrated after exfoliation.

• Hyaluronic acid replenishes surface hydration for a plumped appearance
• Galactomyces adds moisture support for suppleness
• Aloe delivers calming hydration and nutrients
• Suitable for layering under serums and creams to lock in moisture

How should I add this toner to my skincare routine safely?

Apply at night after cleansing and before serums and moisturizer, using a few drops in the palms or a soaked cotton pad. Start with 3–5 times per week to assess tolerance, then you may increase to daily use if your skin tolerates it; avoid combining with other strong exfoliants or retinoids to reduce irritation risk.

• Nighttime use recommended after cleansing
• Begin 3–5 times weekly, then increase only if comfortable
• Do not use with other AHA/BHA exfoliants or retinol
• Always wear daytime SPF when using exfoliating acids

Will this toner work for sensitive or combination skin?

The formula is fragrance-free and formulated to be gentle, but individual sensitivity varies. Because glycolic acid can induce irritation in some skins, patch testing and gradual introduction are advised for those with reactive or very sensitive skin.

• Fragrance-free and vegan formulation
• Gentle supporting ingredients to reduce flare-ups
• Patch test recommended for sensitive skin types
• Adjust frequency based on tolerance and skin response

Who is this for? This toner is suited for anyone aiming to improve texture, reduce dullness, and achieve a more even-looking complexion while maintaining hydration. It is appropriate for normal, combination, and many dry or oilier skin types when introduced carefully; those using prescription retinoids or with severely reactive skin should consult a dermatologist before adding another acid-based product.
