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.
