"The inky list also has a glycolic acid toner but I do not like that one as much as the ordinary one for anti-aging and skin barrier repair routines because the inky list one has higher percentage of glycolic acid which can be more irritating the higher you go but it also has witch hazel in it so I think that that one could be potentially more stripping."

"One that comes to mind that's very affordable and very easy to use is from The INKEY List, the Glycolic Acid 10% Toner that contains 10% glycolic acid but is pretty gentle, and it's something that you can just either apply with your hands to the affected area or gently swipe with a cotton pad to where you need to use it."

"The Inkey List also has a glycolic acid toner, and that's going to come in at a really great price point compared to Paula's Choice. It's still not terribly expensive with Paula's Choice, but you are going to save money by going with the Inkey List."

"It has a huge play time meaning it just keeps spreading so very little goes a very long way and I like this one at night and it's not too too strong so I think that one is a nice one."

"If the ordinary's toning solution is too much for you, baby, this is a godsend. This is your guardian angel. This is [...] so nice, it is non-irritating as compared to the ordinary's, and yet it's a little bit hydrating and nourishing to the skin. This has a really low molecular weight, so it's very, very tiny, I think it's 73 or 74 grams per mole, but it is absolutely wonderful."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Alpha hydroxy acids

Alpha hydroxy acids loosen the bonds holding dead cells at the surface. The evidence supports smoother texture and more even tone over time, and they can leave skin more sensitive to sun.
