Selling one every two minutes, shoppers say The Breakout Hack’s affordable milky toner is ‘glass skin in a bottle’ – and it’s 25% off throughout May
For countless skincare enthusiasts, attaining that sought-after ‘glass skin’ radiance can seem like a never-ending, not to mention costly, pursuit. However, one £11 milky toner is currently receiving acclaim for providing that highly-coveted luminosity ‘instantaneously’ – and customers say it’s so impressive, ‘all the girls in the office are purchasing.’
As movements like ‘Aussie girl makeup’ are trending, numerous beauty devotees are discovering that Korean skincare isn’t the sole industry leader. Australian skincare brand The Breakout Hack is currently capturing attention for their gentle yet powerful formulas that also happen to be budget-friendly.
Their Rebound Skin Milk Activated Cica Toner, specifically, has been recommended as a wallet-friendly substitute to Hailey Bieber’s Rhode Glazing Milk, which retails at £32. In contrast, The Breakout Hack’s is priced at £14.99, but there’s a way customers can secure it for less.
This month at Boots, shoppers can apply the code TBH25 for 25% off when purchasing The Breakout Hack. The code reduces the Rebound Skin Milk price to £11.24, rendering it almost a third of the cost of Hailey Bieber’s popular formula. The offer continues throughout May and will conclude on June 1.
Drawing comparisons between the two, 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 Breakout Hack Rebound Skin Milk Activated Cica Toner contains barrier-friendly skincare ingredients like cica and ginger root extract.
Milky toners remain hugely popular on TikTok as increasing numbers of people focus on barrier repair rather than aggressive actives. However, what sets The Rebound Skin Milk Activated Cica Toner from The Breakout Hack apart is its capacity to visibly diminish redness, calm irritated skin and strengthen the skin barrier, while remaining mild enough for blemish-prone complexions, reports the Liverpool Echo .
Unlike conventional toners that can make skin feel taut and irritated, this milky formulation is created to hydrate without depleting, making it perfect for sensitive, reactive or post-blemish skin. The product contains Panthenol and Ceramides which enable the skin to lock in moisture and appear ‘bouncy.’
Madecassoside, widely known as Cica, reduces redness for a more uniform looking complexion, while Glycerin and Propanediol draw moisture into the upper layers of the skin for that instant ‘dewy’ appearance . To optimise the glass skin effect, users recommend dispensing the toner into your palms and gently pressing it into the skin instead of using a cotton pad to guarantee every drop is absorbed for maximum ‘plumpness.’
Meanwhile at Rhode , their Glazing Milk features a trio of barrier-strengthening ceramides, together with vitamin e and glycerin. A combination of magnesium, zinc, and copper also helps protect against free radicals for smooth skin.
For those who are devoted to the K-beauty trend, the Anua Rice 70 Glow Milky Toner is a worthy contender at £19. Comprising 70% rice water and niacinamide to tackle lacklustre skin, alongside Panthenol, glycerin and allantoin which calm irritated skin and deliver instant, if short-lived, hydration.
Over at Boots, the Breakout Hack formula has accumulated a near-flawless 4.9-star rating from upwards of 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.”
“This is an absolute god send,” a third commented. “My instant and long lasting glow has given me enough confidence to step outside the house without any makeup on”
Not everyone has been quite so bowled over, however, with one less enthusiastic reviewer noting: “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.”
Meanwhile, another reviewer wrote: “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.”
