Benton Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner with Niacinamide is a gentle AHA toner designed to promote brighter skin and a more even complexion. The formulation combines 7% glycolic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid known for exfoliating the skin’s surface, with niacinamide, which helps support a balanced skin barrier and reduce the appearance of pores. This toner aims to refine skin texture by gently removing dead skin cells without causing excessive irritation, making it suitable for those new to chemical exfoliation or with sensitive skin types that still benefit from mild exfoliation.

The addition of niacinamide also assists in regulating oil production and maintaining moisture levels, resulting in a balanced, hydrated finish. The toner has a lightweight, water-like consistency that absorbs quickly without leaving a sticky residue. It is free from animal testing and formulated with cruelty‑free practices, aligning with ethical skincare preferences.

This product is particularly appropriate for individuals seeking a daily or every‑other‑day exfoliating step within their skincare routine. It works well for those with dull, uneven skin tone, rough texture, or excess oil, as it gently resurfaces while helping to control sebum. For best results, apply to a cotton pad and sweep across the face after cleansing, avoiding the eye area. A sunscreen should be used during the day as glycolic acid can increase sun sensitivity. The 7% concentration strikes a practical balance between effective exfoliation and tolerance, offering a more affordable option compared to many similar products on the market.
