Milky toner and skin-care products have been trending for months, and we’re here for it. The trend likely comes, in part, from Hailey Bieber’s Glazing Milk ads and the fascination with food-related skin-care trends—see doughnut skin and jello skin. Milk as a skin-care ingredient makes for hydrating, soothing formulas in cleansers, toners, moisturizers and serums. Here are our current favorites.
Editor-loved milky toner, serums, creams and more
Laneige Cream Skin Toner & Moisturizer ($36)
This new milky toner from Laneige with ceramides and peptides feels even lighter than milk. I love the consistency—it rapidly melts into skin—and it’s been a great addition to my skin-care routine while working out some retinol-related dryness.
Biologique Recherche Lait Dermo-S ($66)
Biologique Recherche recently renovated their beloved cleansing milks to cater more directly to specific skin types. The Lait Dermo-S and Lait S.R. are new additions to the lineup and the classic Lait E.V. and Lait VIP 02 have both been reformulated.
Rhode Glazing Milk ($29)
A glass of Rhode Glazing Milk goes well with Hailey Bieber’s glazed doughnut skin-care routine. This essence that promotes immediately more luminous, hydrated, calmer skin has gone viral online since its launch.
EADEM Milk Marvel Dark Spot Serum ($68)
This milky serum is a popular pick for fading hyperpigmentation, minimizing the appearance of pores and refining and resurfacing. It’s designed for women of color using Smart Melanin technology but is a great option for all skin tones.
Epionce Milky Lotion Cleanser ($36)
This gentle milky cleanser features marshmallow and date fruit extracts to help strengthen the skin barrier while cleansing skin. With zinc in the mix to soothe inflammation its especially great for post-treatment skin.
Kate Somerville Goat Milk Cream ($76)
A great option for sensitive skin, this product was inspired by Kate Somerville’s experience with eczema as a child. She found that goat milk helped alleviate the condition and discomfort so she whipped up a formula with it. It boosts moisture, reduces redness and soothes dry, tight, skin.
Kora Organics Milky Mushroom Cleansing Oil ($44)
We love a dual-phase cleansing oil and this one from Miranda Kerr’s Kora is captivating as it transforms into a creamy milk with just a few shakes. This oil will gently remove everything from oil to waterproof mascara.
Good Light Moon Glow Milky Toning Lotion ($22)
This super lightweight skin barrier booster hydrates while doing some serious skin care. It sloughs away dead skin cells, reduces inflammation and strengthens skin promoting an undeniable glow.
Albion Garden INFINESSE Derma Pump Milk S ($70)
This best-selling multitasking milk firms, tones and balances skin. With hyaluronic acid, it promotes smooth, bright, supple poreless-looking skin.
Beekman 1802 Hyaluronic Acid & Squalane Facial Toner Mist ($34)
This bi-phase must-shake milky toner mist formula brings goat milk and mugwort together with squalane and hyaluronic acid to tone and hydrate sensitive skin with every spritz.
Avène Gentle Milk Cleanser ($22)
Way before dry cleansing was trending we loved Avène’s dry cleansing Milk Cleanser, and now is its time to shine. It removes makeup, dirt and oil while moisturizing and providing antioxidant protection all without a drop of water.
OSEA Ocean Cleansing Milk ($54)
This ultra-gentle formula was recently updated. The milky texture is great for cleansing, smoothing and hydrating all skin types, including the most sensitive.
Being Frenshe Milky Moisturizing Bath Bomb Set with Essential Oils – Cashmere Vanilla ($15)
Have you ever wanted to bathe in the silky finish of milk? Well Ashley Tisdale has you covered with her Milky Moisturizing Bath Bombs. Infused with notes of vanilla, toasted jasmine rice, amber and creamy musk, this milk bath will transport your mind and body to a spa.
Naturopathica Chamomile Cleansing Milk ($40)
This cleansing milk features chamomile to calm dry, sensitive skin and rose flower water to gently tone. The calming scent is a big bonus.
