WITH MILK Active Essence

WITH MILK is a toner-essence hybrid designed to hydrate deeply, refine skin texture, even skin tone, and boost glow while strengthening the skin barrier. Powered by niacinamide, peptides, and hydrolysed rice extract, it works to improve elasticity, smooth fine lines, and enhance overall skin radiance. Lightweight yet powerful, this daily essential preps the skin for better absorption of serums and moisturisers, leaving it soft, plump, and visibly more luminous from the first use.

WITH MILK delivers long-lasting hydration and barrier support without heaviness. Niacinamide helps brighten and even tone, while peptides support collagen and skin firmness. Hydrolysed rice extract smooths and softens, giving skin that signature milk-smooth finish.

The result? Skin that feels hydrated, balanced, and effortlessly radiant.

WITH MILK is designed for everyday use, morning and night. Its lightweight formula layers effortlessly with your existing skincare, helping support the skin barrier while addressing the appearance of uneven tone, texture and fine lines.

For an extra hydration boost, pair it with SKIN QUENCH. For a routine focused on brighter, more even-looking skin, follow with DAY DRIN-C in the morning or NIGHT CAP in the evening.

These are suggested complete routines. You can tailor the steps and products to your skin's individual needs.

1. What exactly does WITH MILK Active Essence do?

WITH MILK is a toner-essence hybrid formulated to hydrate, support the skin barrier, improve the appearance of uneven skin tone and refine texture. Powered by niacinamide, peptides and hydrolysed rice extract, it helps promote smoother, plumper and more radiant-looking skin. Think of it as your daily skin-balancing step that goes beyond hydration.

2. Do I really need an essence if I already use a serum and moisturiser?

While an essence isn't essential for everyone, WITH MILK offers benefits beyond basic hydration. Its combination of niacinamide, peptides and nourishing ingredients helps support skin tone, texture and barrier function. It complements your existing serums and moisturiser rather than replacing them, giving your routine an additional layer of targeted skincare.

3. What's the difference between WITH MILK and SKIN QUENCH?

Both products support hydration, but they serve different purposes. SKIN QUENCH is an ultra-fine hydration mist designed to replenish moisture, support the skin barrier and refresh skin throughout the day. WITH MILK is a toner-essence hybrid containing niacinamide, peptides and hydrolysed rice extract to help improve the appearance of uneven skin tone, texture and firmness. Use SKIN QUENCH first, followed by WITH MILK.

4. Is WITH MILK suitable for all skin types?

Yes. WITH MILK is formulated for all skin types, including dry, oily, combination and sensitive skin. Its lightweight texture delivers hydration without the heaviness of a traditional moisturiser, while niacinamide helps support a balanced-looking complexion. If your skin is particularly reactive, we recommend patch testing before use.

5. Can WITH MILK help with acne-prone or oily skin?

Yes. Niacinamide is a versatile ingredient that can help balance excess oil and support the skin barrier, making WITH MILK a useful addition to routines focused on oily or blemish-prone skin. It also helps improve the appearance of uneven skin tone and post-blemish marks. WITH MILK isn't an acne treatment, but it can help support a more balanced-looking complexion.

6. Can WITH MILK help with pigmentation and uneven skin tone?

WITH MILK contains niacinamide, an ingredient known for helping improve the appearance of uneven skin tone and discolouration. With consistent use, it can help support a brighter, more even-looking complexion. For concerns such as hyperpigmentation, we recommend pairing it with DAY DRIN-C during the day and always applying broad-spectrum SPF.

7. Can I use WITH MILK with Vitamin C, Vitamin A and other active ingredients?

Absolutely. Niacinamide works well alongside many common skincare ingredients, including Vitamin C and retinoids. WITH MILK can be used in your morning routine before DAY DRIN-C and in your evening routine before NIGHT CAP. If you're introducing multiple active products, we recommend doing so gradually to monitor your skin's tolerance.

8. Is WITH MILK a toner or a serum?

It's a little of both. WITH MILK is a toner-essence hybrid that combines the lightweight feel of a toner with the targeted skincare ingredients you might expect from a serum. Rather than simply refreshing the skin, it delivers niacinamide, peptides and nourishing ingredients to help support hydration, tone and texture.
