What the gurus are saying

Gurus consistently praise this toner for its hydrating, plumping texture and solid ingredient lineup at an affordable price point. The milky formula absorbs well and works across most skin types, though reviewers note it leaves a slight tackiness that disappears under makeup or sunscreen. A recurring concern is the fragrance components, particularly peppermint and chamomile extract, which some caution can irritate sensitive skin. Most rate it a solid 8/10: effective and well-formulated but not revolutionary, best suited for dehydrated skin rather than oily types.

"Brands like Tirtir have a wonderful milky toner. These can help layer hydration. They can support the barrier and improve skin comfort without overloading actives or heavier textures on your skin. These are especially helpful if your skin feels reactive, dry, or inflamed, but still needs that extra glow."
Approved
"It contains everything you would expect from a good quality milky toner. You've got the ceramides, you've got the humectants, you've got the panthenol, the calming and soothing ingredients. It has a really, really nice texture to this one. It's slightly on the thinner side of what you'd expect from a milky toner, but some people will really appreciate and like that. It's like a drink for the skin. Your skin will love it and it will just soak up all that hydration and calm and soothe at the same time. This is really the product that first went viral and kickstarted the milky toner craze. They do now do a light version, which is just a bit lighter on the humectant. So, not as hydrating, but a lighter finish. If you've got oily skin, go for the light version. If you've got more dehydrated skin, go for the original. It definitely delivers, and I'm honestly going to give that a solid eight out of 10."

Worlds HOTTEST KOREAN SKINCARE - K-Skincare You Have To Try
"It's actually packed full of peptides. This is a great anti-aging toner and essence. While some people will just use this as a bit of a milky hydrator, they probably don't realize they're getting a lot of anti-aging benefit too. It contains my favorite peptide Auraline, known as Botox in a bottle, which is going to smooth out and help minimize dynamic fine lines and wrinkles, and it's really really nice. I've used this a couple of times, this is my second bottle I'm opening now. It has a really nice milky consistency. Your skin will drink this up, honestly, it will just sink in. Hydrate, plump, great for anti-aging. I paid £6 for this and you get 150ml, so it's quite affordable. Of all the products I mentioned today, this is definitely in my top three of these bestsellers. So, so good and worthy of a place on this list."
BEST TONER EVER? - Korean Skincare Toner ( TirTir Milk Skin Toner Review )
"They say it leaves zero film, but there is a slight film. If you put a product on top like your sunscreen or makeup, it disappears, so it's not an issue. If you were literally just going to use this and walk out the door, there would be a slight tackiness to the skin. It's not off-putting and wouldn't stop me using the product, but I think it's something worth calling out. Overall, I'm going to give this eight out of 10. I love the ingredients, I think the price point is divine, the packaging is really expensive and bougie feeling for what we're actually paying, and I think it's a really nice, well thought through toner. Do I think it's the world's best toner? No. Do I think it's an entire skincare routine in one? No. I still would want to use some additional peptides, some vitamin C, some sunscreen alongside it. But it's a nice way of streamlining, getting a little peptide action, getting some amino acids and some hydration. If you crave that bouncy, plump, juicy skin, this is probably the toner that's going to give you that in the shortest possible time."

"I'm personally a big fan of their milky toner. Their Mask Fit Red Cushion is a cushion foundation that offers great coverage that's also buildable and lasts all day but also has this hydrated glassy skin finish that is smooth and pretty and lasts through heat and humidity. It feels light on your skin without that heavy foundation feel or look and looks natural but yet great coverage, and you can build on that. It doesn't break out acne-prone skin. It offers medium to full coverage, and if you build on it, the coverage is better. It's great for daily use or for filming or for an important event. It stays through heat and humidity with a natural slightly dewy glass skin finish and contains ingredients that help to calm and hydrate the skin."
Approved
"This has chamomile, ceramides, hyaluronic acid, witch hazel, and the list goes on. I use this in the morning sometimes and at night time depending on how I feel. It never causes peeling with other skincare products. It sits nice underneath sunscreen and makeup. I use this right after cleansing and I absolutely love this toner. I love how it soothes the skin as well. If your skin barrier is a little compromised, this would be a great addition to incorporate to heal your skin to get it back where it should be. It spreads really nicely. There is no sticky or tackiness at all, but you will have a little bit of a glow to your skin. The more you apply, the more you will achieve that glass-like skin, but I don't feel like you need too much of this. A little bit does go a long way. It provides that perfect amount of moisture without making your skin look super greasy and dewy. It is absolutely beautiful."

TRYING THE ORDINARY PEELING SOLUTION FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 6 YEARS | DEMO + SKINCARE ROUTINE!
"I actually just purchased this a couple of weeks ago and I am really impressed with this. I really like this because it's like a true toner. It does have a milkiness to it but it's even more thin and lightweight than the serum. This is a very moisturizing nourishing toner but it's also quite brightening on the skin as well. Because I've only used it for a couple weeks I haven't really noticed that yet but in time this can be a very brightening toner because of the ingredients. There is niacinamide in here, rice bran extract, there's also hyaluronic acid, ceramides, there's also chamomile and the list goes on. Very hydrating nourishing ingredients perfect for using after the peeling solution."

"I really don't like this toner and it definitely gained a lot of interest and popularity. They are really focusing in on the chamomile extract that they're using in the formula. This actually does have soothing and anti-inflammatory properties for the skin, but it is definitely an extract that can cause some sensitivity issues for certain folks with very sensitive skin. They're also using rice bran extract, which is very popular in K beauty and can really lightly moisturize the skin, but it's also something that smooths the skin, brightens the skin, brings a lot of antioxidant care as well. They've got niacinamide, another brightener in here. They've got sodium hyaluronic that helps to bring hydration. And then they have ceramide NP, which everybody's throwing a little ceramide NP into their products because everybody knows ceramides are so good for your skin and for your skin barrier."

"I'm wearing the Tirtir Milk Skin Toner. I just love this formula. That liquid, that like liquid concealer formula. I'm just such a huge fan of. Like, don't get me wrong, I do like a heavy thick cream when necessary. But a lot of the time it's like just not necessary."

"I've been using this like I said started towards the end of December throughout January rather enjoying it no problems with it it's hydrating it's moisturizing I don't really notice it to be frank I'll finish it up but would I go right back to it would I go out of my way to purchase a full size bottle no really glad that I got the travel bottle because that's just enough. If you've got rosacea just stay away there are so many other hydrating moisturizing toners out there you don't need to be dabbling in the peppermint. This isn't bad but is it the best thing I've ever used no."
Approved
"This is a pretty nice toner. A little bit of it goes a long way. If I were in charge of this, I'd tweak a few things to make it a little bit more friendly for all skin types. If they got rid of that peppermint and fruit, it could be much more friendly for all skin types. It's got a lot of good things going for it and it'll work well for most people. For sensitive skin, just do a patch test and if you start to notice irritation, pull back, but overall my sensitive skin handled it pretty good."

"There might be a little bit of scent but nothing I can actually identify as a scent, but then once you smooth it away you don't notice it. Feels nice on the skin though. I'm a big fan of peptides and ceramides and rice bran and centella and chamomile. It feels nice on the skin and it's on sale right now, normally like 30 bucks but I think it was like 14 bucks right now. The bottle's big and it'll probably last a long time. It did a good job removing rest of oil and stuff for my skin. I like it so far."

Tirtir Milk Skin Toner Review, How to Use, and Dupes - Worth the Hype?!?!
"It's got a lot of brightening ingredients and some soothing ingredients, it's very hydrating which is nice. It's definitely on that tackier side but very hydrating and soothing. It will soothe most skin unless you're sensitive to some of those fragrance ingredients like witch hazel. I have super sensitive skin and I'm very sensitive to fragrance, and I didn't notice any scent, so I would say this product is unscented but not fragrance-free. There's a lot of unscented products that have fragrance in them. For acne-prone skin there's only one ingredient of note and that's carbomer. I would say this is pretty well suited to dry, oily, and acne-prone skin types. It's pretty suited for most skin types except for sensitive skin."

"This is a really moisturizing toner. We know toners to be mainly focusing on hydrating, but if your skin just needs that extra boost of moisture, maybe it's winter and your skin is changing and your moisturizer isn't quite cutting it for you, or you have very oily skin and you want something that's a nice light moisture, this is great for that because you get your hydration and you get your moisture. They say it's got 24-hour moisture retention, and I've not tested it for 24 hours, but my skin feels well moisturized, hydrated, and nourished throughout the day whenever I use this. I believe that."

I've Fallen Back In Love With Korean SKincare 🥹😍💜
"One of my new favorite K beauty brands has to be Tirtir. Over on the skincare side of TikTok, they're known for their Milk Skin Toner, which I absolutely love. I'm halfway through the bottle. It's not heavy. It feels very moisturizing, more than hydrating. It's got rice bran extract, ceramides, niacinamide at 4%, so a decent amount. It just leaves your skin so moisturized in this lightweight, essence-y feel. They also have something in here called their multi-exit bsAm, which consists of seven plant-based ingredients to help soothe the skin and revitalize it, giving you a brighter, more even complexion. It really does target that hydration, even skin tone, soothing the skin, making your skin look more radiant. I've tried this a couple times, and it literally is just like the other toner, the thicker one, just in a lighter weight texture. I think it's more appropriate for three, four months out of the year than the thicker version of this."

"I've been using it for four weeks. Once a day for four weeks. You don't need that much. Oh, actually, that's a lie, I've been swapping between this and their light version, which is just a lighter version of this one, for four weeks solidly. And I love it, it's just a toner you know, you can rely on."
