Reviews For DDF Glycolic Toning Complex
should have never altered original version
I used to use this religiously once a day, in the morning, and it was definitely the best toner hands down. My skin looked great, along with using other good products. But DDF changed this some years ago. They cut down the glycolic fro 10 to 7 percent, and I believe added witch hazel. I read some reviews about the harshness of DDF, but it's not the glycolic acid, which is actually a moderate percentage. What is irritating women's skin is the witch hazel. It is a known irritant to skin though long ago, some would use it. No one would use witch hazel on your face. It is an astringent, but if you are suffering from acne, that is the last thing you want on your face. Using a glycolic or lactic acid, of moderate strength or even a gentle tonic cleanser is best. Don't do anything to dry out your skin, which will aggravate acne. I didn't have acne, I just recognized paying more for a lesser and not as good product was not worth it. There are other good products out there.

Strong Glycolic
I felt like this would be a good choice for my 13-year-old daughter who has breakouts and thought she would be able to tolerate it after having used a lower percentage for quite some time. It was still too strong for her. I thought we would use it every third day until her skin was accustomed to it, BUT her acne became significantly worse. I think this is because it doesn’t have the salicylic acid in that we are used to from the LovelySkin toner. I tried it also, and it made my skin very red and angry. My face was actually burned. I also didn’t care for the dispensing type. A lot of product pours out and leaks around the cap. A pump would be much better. I do think this would be great for someone with less sensitive, non-acne prone skin. I would love to have seen the benefits of such a strong glycolic acid on my 41-year-old aging skin.
