Not sure about the smell
It was my third bottle, then I got strucked with the rotten dairy like odor which I never experienced with previous bottles. I thought I got unlucky and picked the spoiled one, then bought another bottle becaue I could not bear with the smell, but new bottle also had the same issue. I bought at the 3rd one at the store and 4th one online. Its not pleasant to apply in my face while having to smell of rotting milk. Have they changed the formula and started smelling like this? Idk I will never buy this toner again

On my 2nd bottle
Currently on my second bottle of this milky toner and I love it. Its absorbs nicely into my dry skin and works as a great base for all my other skincare products. Leaves my skin nice and glowing even if worn alone under moisturizer. Will be repurchase again!

Gentle and effective
I love how gentle this product is! Its gentle enough to use in the same routine as retinol. My skin drinks this stuff right up! Smells like bread.

Feels nice!
Feels nice and hydrating. Hasn't broke me out. I would recommend it, but I also want to try out the Thayer's milky toner as well. Nothing to crazy.

I love The Ordinary products ❤️
I go to the dermatologist on top of using the ordinary products. Sometimes its not the product thats breaking you out, its what your consuming. When i saw this toner i was super excited. I bought it yesterday, used it this morning. Along with the beta moisturizer. My skin feels smooth and soft.

I love the toning step in a skincare routine
I have been enjoying this toner. I can't say its life changing but it I do feel clean and hydrated after using it. If you don't know what ferment means, then know it means "comes with funky smell". It's not overbearing but it is there.

Oily Skin Safe
Was 90% sure this was going to break me out considering it was a hydration toner, but it didn't. Does the absolute best at keeping your skin hydrated all day, especially if paired with Hyaluronic Acid. Exfoliates dare I say better than the Glycolic Acid Toner, I never seen so much dead skin just slide off with no irritation. Great product!

Broke out
This toner gave me the worst break out I've had in years within two days of using it (without any other changes to my skincare routine). Maybe i just have sensitive skin but id be cautious about this product if you have acne prone or sensitive skin.

So moisturizing and gentle
This toner is so gentle on skin making it perfect for sensitive skin. It smooths any bumps within about two weeks of use. Applies smoothly under makeup and feels so moisturizing. I used twice a day and noticed significant improvement in two weeks.

It'a A Keeper!
This is the first milky toner I've ever used and, while I don't have others to compare it to - I love how this toner has made my skin look and feel. Especially how it absorbs and absolutely leaves my face feeling quenched but not yucky. It just sinks into my skin and I love how soft it feels.

Wasn't for me
All the ingredients were sooo harsh for my skin, which is usually not sensitive at all. I broke out with a rash immediately and it dried my skin out so bad.

My holy grail for winter time dehydration
The Ulta rep recommended this product for my dry skin in the winter due to its softening and exfoliating properties. This has become my holy grail! Before finding this product I would pile on moisturizers and humectants but still have to deal with flaking skin, but no more since using this product! 10/10

OBSESSED
I bought this on a whim as a budget toner - omg I'm so glad I did. I use this most mornings and nights after washing my face, and I have noticed a huge difference after a few weeks. My skin looks much brighter and feels so smooth. I now wear less foundation and my makeup also just sits better on top of my skin since I started using this. It also helped to clear up some stubborn acne I had on my neck/jawline. Will be repurchasing again and again!

Highly recommended milky toner
I decided to try this milky toner on a whim after reading a bunch of articles about how beneficial milky toners are for hydration. I can't recommend this product enough… In the summer it's very humid where i live and when I went to bed at night all I would need is this milky toner and I was good to go. You really can't beat the price point for such a high-quality product either. Go get you one!!!

A godsend for acne scars
I'm 35, and I've had deep acne scars for my entire adult life. I've spent that whole time trying to find something to help my skin, and this product is a godsend. I've only been using it for two weeks, and my skin has never looked better!

Changed my skin!
I never take the time to leave reviews, but this had a hand in changing my skin. This significantly helled my redness almost instantly. It calmed my skin, helped repair my skin barrier and all over moisturized really well. I use this with my Avene Tolerance cream, and I swear I'll never have to buy another duo again.
