‘I always thought glass skin was out of reach for me, but this product gives me glass skin instantaneously’
With so many skincare products on the market, it can be confusing to find what works for each individual. That’s why it’s helpful to read customer reviews – and now, a wallet-friendly toner is being dubbed a ‘Holy Grail product’.
The Breakout Hack Rebound Skin Milk Activated Cica Toner is available from Boots for just £14.99, and is making waves for how it soothes and hydrates the skin – giving that coveted ‘glass skin’ look. It has a milky texture that is designed to smooth out skin texture and minimise redness, making it perfect for those no make-up days.
It comes from cult favourite Aussie brand The Breakout Hack, which is known for its gentle, acne-safe formulas – skipping harsh ingredients like benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid. The Activated Cica Toner uses soothing ingredients like cica, ginger root extract and d-panthenol, all with a focus on boosting skin barrier health.
This 100ml bottle should be kept in a cool place, out of sunlight, and can be applied morning and night. All shoppers have to do is gently pat a pump of the toner onto their face after cleansing (it’s advisable to try a patch test first, to see if buyers have any adverse reactions). It’s ideal for sensitive, breakout-prone skin, as it’s designed with non-stripping ingredients.
As an alternative, shoppers could look to the Oskia Violet Water Toner, which costs £40 for 100ml from Lookfantastic. It is described as a ‘clarifying treatment that detoxifies the skin’, using ingredients like salicylic acid and yuzu juice.
The Breakout Hack’s Skin Milk Toner has been dubbed a ‘Holy Grail’ product

On the more affordable end of the spectrum is the Me+ Milky Toner, which costs £5.99 for 200ml from Superdrug (reduced from £9). This ultra-hydrating offering contains powerhouse ingredients like hyaluronic acid and niacinamide.
The Breakout Hack Rebound Skin Milk Activated Cica Toner has clocked up an impressive 4.9 star rating on Boots from 670 reviews, with 96 reviews dubbing it a ‘Holy Grail’ product. One shopper said: “This is my Holy Grail product. I use this morning and night and it’s a big drink of water for my skin. 10/10 and I have repurchased twice. Also it lasts for such a long time!”
Another said: “Honestly I’m still new to skincare however this has done wonders and don’t feel the need to try anything else!!” While a third chimed in: “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.”
Some shoppers did share some slight notes, like one who said: “It’s not a miracle worker but it’s so nice on your skin.”
However, another person said: “My skin has never been more even toned less oily clearer and absolutely glazed glowing without giving oily 10/10.”
