Product Information
Full details
The Benton Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner is designed for individuals seeking to refine their skin texture, unclog pores, and achieve a brighter complexion without harsh irritation. By combining 7% Glycolic Acid with soothing ingredients like Witch Hazel and barrier-strengthening Ceramide NP, it offers a balanced approach to exfoliation that is gentle enough for sensitive skin types. While it effectively promotes smoother skin, users must be diligent about daily sunscreen application, as chemical exfoliants can increase skin sensitivity to sunlight.

Compatibility Note: Avoid using this product simultaneously with high-concentration Retinols or Vitamin C products to prevent potential sensitivity. Always perform a patch test on your neck or inner arm before applying it to your entire face. Store the bottle in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the active ingredients. Ensure the cap is tightly closed after every use to prevent evaporation.
