  1. charissedaily mentioning LANEIGE Cream Skin Cerapeptide Refiner at 01:47 in their YouTube video
    • This one is the Laneige Cream Skin Ceramide Peptide Refiner1:42
    • I feel like this started the craze for milky toner in the West and has been hailed as the mother of milky toners1:44
    • This one is such a classic1:52
    • It's considered as an ultimate solution for dry, flaky skin because it can really plump your skin and it can comfort your skin in one simple step1:54
    • The moment you apply this, your skin instantly feel plump, like immediately2:00
    • When it comes to hydration, it actually really lasts2:12
    • Every time I use this, my skin feels hydrated the whole day2:22
    • For oily skin, this can honestly replace your moisturizer because that's just how nourishing it is2:26
    • The best way I find to use this is putting it in a spray bottle and just spritzing it all over my face, especially before makeup2:47
    • This one is not sticky, but it does leave a slightly coated, cushiony feel on the skin2:59
    • The finish is very dewy, very glass skin, but not greasy3:18
    • My makeup really sits nicely on top of this3:25
    • It doesn't fully disappear instantly. It sinks in slowly because it's richer, but you can still layer it3:30
    • I think that this is best for dry, sensitive, and barrier damaged skin3:50
    • This did not irritate my skin or cause me to break out4:20
  2. charissedaily mentioning Naturie Hatomugi Skin Conditioning Milk at 04:49 in their YouTube video
    Naturie$11.99
    • When you apply this, it's very, very watery4:48
    • It does feel hydrating, but not super plumping4:51
    • The hydration doesn't last that long. It's one of those toners where after like 10 to 15 minutes, you might feel like you need something more moisturizing on top4:59
    • No, this cannot replace moisturizer even if you have oily skin5:11
    • The texture is very watery milky, almost like a traditional watery essence, and that's why it's super easy to layer and it's not thick at all5:17
    • There's also no stickiness, like zero. It's very smooth5:29
    • It doesn't have strong barrier ingredients like ceramides, so don't expect major skin repair5:39
    • The finish is very skin-like, more like healthy skin, not shiny or glowy6:21
    • It absorbs really, really fast, the fastest among all five, and that's why you can layer this multiple times a day6:27
    • This one has no pore clogging ingredients. It is considered acne safe, and it's the only one amongst the five that passed the fungal acne safe checker6:40
    • It's actually regarded for acne prone skin due to its lightweight, hydrating, and calming formula6:56
    • It's such a huge bottle, very, very affordable7:07
    • It's huge because you can use it all over your body, not just on your face7:22
  3. charissedaily mentioning Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Probiotic Barrier Essence at 07:44 in their YouTube video
    • This one is the Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Probiotics Barrier Essence7:34
    • This one gives you a soft, plump feeling, not extreme, but noticeable7:43
    • The hydration actually lasts than the Hatomugi7:50
    • It's not runny at all, like it's really holding its shape7:56
    • The texture is so unique, it actually really holds its form, and it's not as runny as the rest, almost like a gel moisturizer8:05
    • Even though it's not watery, it's also not heavy8:14
    • This one also really layers beautifully. Also not sticky, very smooth8:17
    • When it comes to barrier support, it is strong. It has probiotics, it also has fermented ingredients. So, over time, your skin can feel calmer and more resilient8:23
    • It has a soft glow finish, not overly shiny8:45
    • This also sinks in fast, but it still leaves hydration8:49
    • I think that this is great for normal and combination skin8:53
  4. charissedaily mentioning rhode Glazing Milk at 09:23 in their YouTube video
    Rhode$48.00
    • This one is the Rhode Glazing Milk
    • When I went to Sephora and I tried it on, I just couldn't help but to immediately buy it9:23
    • I even think that I am using this more than my Laneige Cream Skin Toner, especially when I do my makeup9:29
    • This one gives you that instant plump, glazed look9:40
    • It's heavier than Laneige, like it almost feels like a gel moisturizer as well, but more runny9:43
    • I feel like it's the perfect glass skin look10:02
    • The Rhode one gives more of a moisturizer feel, and it has a cooling effect when you put it on10:12
    • Especially in the morning, it gives you that fresh feeling10:19
    • The hydration also lasts not as long as the Laneige. Maybe if Laneige gives me like a whole day hydration, this one stops at like the fourth or fifth hour, but it's still long10:29
    • You can put this on before makeup. You can easily mix this with your foundation so that you can sheer your foundation a bit and give you a more glowy finish. Like, it's very very versatile11:05
    • Once it dries down, it's not sticky, but it kind of leaves you with that silky feel on the skin11:23
    • When it comes to barrier, this one is really also good. It has ceramides, it also has beta glucan, and hydrators11:32
    • It's a very glowy glazed donut skin. Your makeup will look amazing11:47
    • I only use this when I want my makeup to look glowy, and I make sure that after using this, I really wash my face thoroughly13:11
  5. charissedaily mentioning Bubble Cosmic Hydrating Milky Toner at 15:29 in their YouTube video
    • This one is the Bubble Cosmic Silk Hydrating Milky Toner13:55
    • This one feels very hydrating at first, but not super plumping14:00
    • I would say it's really a close dupe to the Rhode, but I like the Rhode one a bit better because it feels cooling and lighter14:08
    • With this one, I can really feel the heaviness on my skin14:19
    • The hydration is in the mid-level, but again, for my skin type, I just didn't like that heavy feel14:24
    • The texture is also very milky, almost like a lotion. And again, a bit heavy for my liking15:20
    • This one also feels slightly tacky at first, but once it dries down, it feels very smooth after a few minutes15:26
    • When it comes to barrier, it's pretty decent. It has soothing ingredients, like helps calm, but not deep repair15:34
    • The finish is a natural glow, not totally glass skin, but I've applied so much, so I find that this one actually is giving like a glass skin finish, right?15:45
    • This also absorbs the slowest compared to the other four milky toners that I'm comparing today, so definitely give this time to absorb before putting on your makeup15:56
    • This is way cheaper than the Rhode one, but generally, it's mid-range16:14
    • Personally, I would splurge more for the Rhode16:20
    • It also has coconut alkanes. I think that's why I find that it is very similar to Rhode16:23
    • It's also not good if you are prone to clogged pores16:31
