Expert Glycolic Refining Solution is an AHA-based toner that works fast to chemically exfoliate your skin. Surface dryness, expired skin cells, and congestion is swept away, leaving softer, smoother skin in its place.

Benefits
  • It’s a quick, easy, and efficient daily exfoliation treatment with Glycolic Acid at just the right concentration (5%) to stimulate cellular renewal without causing visible irritation.
  • It’s balanced by a calming cocktail of Aloe Vera, Green Tea and Witch Hazel.
  • It helps to visibly fade uneven skin tone and pigmentation.
  • An instant radiance boost; skin looks and feels immediately refreshed.
  • It delivers expert results: 91% of the consumer testing panel believed that their skin tolerated it well while 85% agreed that their skin looked and felt smoother and refreshed after using it.
How To Use

After cleansing, sweep across your skin with a cotton pad or face cloth, being careful to avoid the delicate eye area. Follow with Expert Reset Skin-Firming Peptide Serum and Expert Restore Niacinamide Replenishing Cream. Remember to always protect your skin with regular applications of sunscreen, particularly when using AHA-based products.

Game changer

This toner being used on its own is amazing but the hole set is an absolute game changer. Nothing compares to it. I love this range so much!

A hydrating toner? What is this black magic?

I remember the toners of my youth - all stingy & burny & smelling like something you would clean a shower with. This is not that. This is a toner that does not feel like a toner, yet does the job of a toner. Like I said, magic!!!! I am older & have maturing skin that needs a little extra love so I am thrilled with this toner!!!!!

Provides good moisturizing, but it smells a bit fishy. I mix it with another Skinstitut moisturiser to mask the smell.

I've been using Skinstitut glycolic scrub to exfoliate for around 15 years now. Doesn't irritate my skin at all. Why change products when something works so well for you for so long?
