A SKINCARE lover has found one-stop beauty shopping in a single bottle.
It wasn’t a bird or a plane – it was just one affordable and powerful product.
According to Redditor Jenniferjasonleigh, the buy helped with everything from smoothing skin to getting rid of smells.
“I don’t know if it’s a secret at this point but glycolic acid toners went viral for a reason,” she said.
She was in disbelief over how well it worked for so many different issues – and in record time.
“They are stupidly multipurpose,” she said.
“Facially, I see a drastic improvement in my sebaceous filaments and the appearance of my fine lines and pores after two to three regular uses,” she said.
It was also helping give her a leg up in other areas.
“All over, it helps with body odors and strawberry legs,” she said.
Just when she thought it had done enough, she realized it was also a glow-up game-changer.
“Another pleasant surprise, it works as an awesome primer for a darker, more even, longer-lasting sunless tan,” she said.
Her steps for a “nice, even sunless tan” include prepping by using a physical exfoliant along with glycolic acid, which made a “noticeable difference.”
She had learned the hard way that this was the best method of getting seamlessly sun-kissed.
“I made this delightful discovery when I applied sunless tanner after using glycolic acid toner on my face, neck, and underarms,” she said.
“Woke up in the morning to find my face and the area around my pits had developed darker than the rest of me,” she added.
For best results, she recommended doing a test patch while being careful to avoid over-exfoliating and skin irritation.
She had also heard that whatever sorcery was in the bottle was helpful for alleviating dry scalp and dermatitis, but she hadn’t tested it out yet herself on those areas.

“How often do you use it? I’m afraid it can destroy my skin barrier,” a Redditor commented.
“It’s going to depend on what your skin needs. I started out a couple times a week, then increased to every other night,” she replied.
“I have pretty dry skin so I may increase to nightly depending on the time of year. Always following with moisturizer, of course, and an occlusive if necessary,” she added.
Her beauty routine involves applying the product “head to toe,” and about every seven to ten days when prepping for her sunless tanning.
If you want to try the buy for yourself, Ulta sells her favorite magical multipurpose bottle – The Ordinary’s Glycolic Acid 7% Toner, for $13.
