    Not effective and only worsened my acne

    I have tried the glycolic acid toner from the ordinary and have been using this product for many years but it was out of stock recently so I had to purchase the glycolic acid from the Inkey list and I must say that I am absolutely far from impressed. I was easily sold by the difference in price but I would definitely say that this product was far from effective and only worsened my acne.
