Milky toners have become a bit of a skincare trend this year, and I'm personally a huge fan of them. Having already tried out a few formulas, including BYOMA's , £11.99, and Curel's , £20, I love the glow they give and how much they hydrate the skin, ready for make-up.

Even Hailey Bieber swears by a drop of her rhode mixed into foundation for the ultimate lit-from-within look.

So when I discovered the internet's trendiest K-Beauty skincare brand, Beauty of Joseon's , I couldn't wait to try it out.

This milky toner is packed full of skin-loving ingredients that hydrate, calm, and nourish in one go. It has a dual-layer formula, which involves a light, essence-like liquid combined with a powdery base that not only provides serious moisture but also helps keep oil and shine in check.

This is especially if, like me, you suffer from oily skin and need to keep it at bay during the summer months without drying your skin out.

As I previously mentioned, I'm already an avid user of milky toners, so it was unsurprising that I enjoyed using Beauty of Joseon's one so much. However, what cemented this one in particular as my new go-to is how well it works for oily skin.

Other milky toners can sometimes lean on the side of shiny, rather than radiant, but that wasn't the case with .

Not to mention, I got literally stopped in the street and complimented on my "glass skin", which hasn't happened to me with the other milky toners I've used.

It definitely gives that luminous, "I drink three litres of water a day" glow, and because it's infused with rice extract and rice amino acids, it actually feeds your skin with a and antioxidants.

My only criticism is that I would prefer the consistency were slightly thicker; it is far more watery than other milky toners I've used in the past, and that leads me to pouring out a bit too much product every time I use it.

Overall, however, I think it's the perfect glowy but not greasy base for under makeup or those makeup-free days when you want your skin to do all the talking.
