Kiehl's Daily Refining Milk-Peel Toner 200ml

Kiehl's Daily Refining Milk-Peel Toner 200ml is a gentle dual-action exfoliating toner that pairs the smoothing power of a milk peel with the comfort of a moisturising milky texture. Built around lipo-hydroxy acid (a salicylic acid derivative) and almond milk, the lightweight formula refines, brightens and softens the skin with daily use — gentle enough for sensitive skin and suitable for daily use.

Who it's for

Best for anyone wanting a gentle daily exfoliating toner, particularly those with normal-to-dry, dull, dehydrated or sensitive skin. Useful for skin types that find stronger AHA/BHA toners too aggressive but still want regular smoothing. As with any exfoliating product, pair with a daily SPF.

How to use

1. After cleansing, shake the bottle well to combine the milky-toner phases.
2. Apply a small amount to a cotton wool pad.
3. Sweep gently across the face and neck, avoiding the eye area.
4. Allow to absorb for a moment, then apply your serum and moisturiser.
5. Use morning and evening as part of your daily routine.
6. Always use a broad-spectrum SPF during the day when using exfoliating acids.
