For countless skincare enthusiasts, attaining that sought-after 'glass skin' radiance can seem like an endless and costly pursuit. However, one £11 milky toner is currently receiving acclaim for providing that highly-coveted luminosity 'instantaneously' – and customers say it is so impressive that 'all the girls in the office are purchasing it.'
Australian Skincare Brand Gains Popularity
As trends like 'Aussie girl makeup' gain traction, many beauty devotees are discovering that Korean skincare is not the only industry leader. Australian brand The Breakout Hack is capturing attention for its gentle yet powerful formulas that are also budget-friendly. Their Rebound Skin Milk Activated Cica Toner has been recommended as a wallet-friendly alternative to Hailey Bieber's Rhode Glazing Milk, which retails at £32. In contrast, The Breakout Hack's toner is priced at £14.99, but customers can secure it for less.
Limited-Time Discount at Boots
Throughout May at Boots, shoppers can apply the code TBH25 for 25% off when purchasing The Breakout Hack. This reduces the Rebound Skin Milk price to £11.24, making it almost a third of the cost of the Rhode formula. The offer continues until June 1. One customer remarked: 'My new favourite toner. I was using the Rhode glazing milk before I got this and now I reach for this every time. Super calming for my sensitive skin.'
The toner contains barrier-friendly ingredients like cica and ginger root extract. Milky toners remain popular on TikTok as more people focus on barrier repair rather than aggressive actives. What sets The Rebound Skin Milk apart is its ability to visibly diminish redness, calm irritated skin, and strengthen the skin barrier, while remaining mild enough for blemish-prone complexions.
Unlike conventional toners that can make skin feel taut and irritated, this milky formulation hydrates without depleting, making it ideal for sensitive, reactive, or post-blemish skin. It contains Panthenol and Ceramides to lock in moisture and create a 'bouncy' appearance. Madecassoside (Cica) reduces redness for a more uniform complexion, while Glycerin and Propanediol draw moisture into the upper layers for an instant 'dewy' look. Users recommend pressing the toner into the skin with palms rather than using a cotton pad for maximum absorption and 'plumpness.'
Comparison with Other Products
Meanwhile, Rhode's Glazing Milk features barrier-strengthening ceramides, vitamin E, and glycerin, along with magnesium, zinc, and copper to protect against free radicals. For K-beauty fans, the Anua Rice 70 Glow Milky Toner at £19 contains 70% rice water and niacinamide to tackle dullness, plus Panthenol, glycerin, and allantoin for calming and hydration.
At Boots, The Breakout Hack formula has a near-flawless 4.9-star rating from over 670 reviews. One review titled 'glass skin in a bottle' stated: 'This is the best milky toner I have ever used, so hydrating and leaves me feeling so glowy. I love the packaging as well.' Another customer wrote: 'If I could digest a glass of this milk a day I WOULD! Nah just kidding, but in all seriousness this stuff is the best thing I've ever put on my face. ALL the girls in the office are now purchasing and using this product because I can't stop talking about it. LOVE LOVE LOVE.'
A third commented: 'This is an absolute god send. My instant and long lasting glow has given me enough confidence to step outside the house without any makeup on.' However, not everyone was equally impressed; one less enthusiastic reviewer noted: 'I'm not sure about this yet it's nice but that's all it is. It hasn't wowed me like some products have.' Another reviewer countered: 'The skin milk toner is one of my favourite TBH products. My skin always looks 100x better after using this. Moisturising, gentle, melts into the skin. It is my #1 go to product to ensure my skin is looking and feeling its best. I always thought glass skin was out of reach for me but this product gives me glass skin instantaneously. My husband, who is notoriously oblivious, actually noticed and said I was “glowing”. 10/10.'
