% of glycolic acid in Proactiv's toner?

[littletingoddes]

Just wondering... does anyone know what % of glycolic acid is in Proactiv's toner?

I had a quick look on the Internet and couldn't find anything but I would e-mail them and ask

The toner does not contain Aha (glycolic) but it does contain BHA

I don't think it has any glycolic at all.

It doesn't contain any glycolic.

It does contain GA - I'm looking at my bottle, and it's the second ingredient listed after water. And according to UK's Proactiv site, there's 5% GA in the toner.

Ingredients: water (aqua), glycolic acid, hamamelis virginiana (witch hazel) extract, anthemis nobilis flower extract, rosa canina fruit extract, aloe barbadensis leaf juice, sodium PCA, panthenol, glycerin, propylene glycol, allantoin, polysorbate-20, hydroxyethylcellulose, sodium hydroxide, benzophenone-4, tetrasodium EDTA, methylparaben, propylparaben, imidazolidinyl urea, fragrance (parfum), blue 1, yellow 5.

Wow, I didn't know what i was putting on my face, lol.

I really liked that toner but once It ran out, I didn't want to pay the whole price alone, it's cheaper in a set and I still have the other bottles.

The toner is my favorite out of the set, and the one I find myself using all the time. You can always buy just the toner on eBay, rather than directly from ProActiv. Or better yet, buy a glycolic acid toner that has a higher percentage.

Thanks, Mehrunissa! I had looked on the US Proactiv site and couldn't find any info, and emailed customer service, but haven't heard back. I knew I'd have better luck asking everyone at MUT.

I got an answer from the US customer service - and they said 7%.
