A gentle daily exfoliating toner that pairs the hydration of a Korean toner with the skin-refining benefits of an acid treatment. This milky formula helps smooth texture, brighten, refine pores, and prevent breakouts while keeping skin soft and hydrated.
Details

With a base of over 86% birch juice, squalane, glycerin, and sodium hyaluronate, Birch Milk Refining Toner preps and hydrates skin while gently refining texture.

An optimal 1% blend of AHAs, including glycolic and lactic acids, and PHA gluconolactone gently removes dead skin cells to smooth the appearance of fine lines, brighten skin, and refine pores. Birch juice and marshmallow root provide soothing hydration to balance the exfoliating formula, making it gentle enough for daily use once skin is acclimated.

Follow with The Giving Essence or your treatment of choice to replenish freshly exfoliated skin with hydration.

How to Use

Gentle for daily use. After cleansing, dispense Birch Milk Refining Toner into your hands and pat or press onto face and neck. You can also use a cotton pad to gently swipe the toner onto the face and neck. Follow up with The Giving Essence (or essence and serum of choice) to hydrate and strengthen exfoliated skin. With any expected sun exposure, always protect skin with sunscreen.

- For beginners who don't regularly exfoliate, slowly incorporate the Birch Milk Refining Toner into your routine about 2-3x a week until your skin is acclimated.
- For those accustomed to regular exfoliation with acids, alternate use with your other acid products (i.e. day vs. night or every other day) to prevent over-exfoliation and sensitization.

Featured Ingredients

Birch Juice

Birch Juice

Our toner replaces water with birch juice (76% concentration), a skin-soothing and hydrating tree sap. Birch juice contains 17 amino acids, antioxidants, enzymes, minerals, proteins and vitamins, including Vitamin B3 and skin-brightening Vitamin C.

Marshmallow Root

Marshmallow Root

This anti-aging plant extract reduces inflammation and fine lines, as well as hydrates and protects the skin. Made up of polysaccharides and flavonoids, it also contains mucilage, a dewy substance with skin-softening and antioxidant properties.

Squalane

Squalane

Squalane is derived from squalene, a hydrocarbon that is naturally produced by our bodies to maintain moisture in our skin. It also boosts cell regeneration and allows other ingredients to absorb more efficiently into skin. Our squalane is plant-based.

Glycolic and Lactic Acid

Glycolic and Lactic Acid

Glycolic and lactic acid remove dead skin cells, bringing forth fresh skin, counteracting hyperpigmentation and reducing sun damage. Our toner contains a 1% concentration of acids that it is effective but still gentle enough for daily use.

Gluconolactone

Gluconolactone

Gluconolactone is a naturally occurring polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that provides exfoliating, moisturizing and antioxidant activity without sensitizing the skin.

"This toner is the perfect marriage of a hydrating Korean toner with a Western acid treatment, that is gentle enough for daily use, to prevent breakouts and smooth out the texture of your skin."

Charlotte Cho, Founder of Then I Met You

FAQ

How often should I use Birch Milk Refining Toner?

The toner is a 1% acid toner that is cushioned with birch milk. It can be used morning and night to minimize pores, prevent breakouts and smooth out fine lines. 

Can I use this every day?

Yes! If you're new to exfoliating acids or have sensitive skin, begin a few times per week and gradually increase frequency as your skin adjusts.

Can I use this with other exfoliating products?

It depends on your skin type, tolerance for acids and what other products you are incorporating into your routine. The rule of thumb is to alternate use of acid products, and work your way up gradually as your skin adjusts.
