ILIA - The Base Face Milk Essence + Lightweight, Layerable Moisturizer | Hydrate, Smooth, Soothe, Strengthen | Non-Toxic, Vegan, Cruelty-Free, Clean Makeup (Full Size, 3.4 fl oz | 100 ml)

This face milk is lovely. It feels very lightweight, absorbs quickly, and gives a nice boost of hydration without feeling greasy. It layers well under moisturizer or makeup and leaves skin feeling smooth and calm. A little goes a long way, and it works great for everyday use. I would definitely repurchase.

This product is incredible — exactly what I was looking for in a daily moisturizer and essence in one. The texture is silky and lightweight, yet it gives my skin deep, lasting hydration without feeling greasy or heavy. It layers beautifully under makeup and keeps my skin looking fresh and dewy all day. I love that it’s clean, vegan, and cruelty-free — you can really tell the formula was made with care. My skin feels smoother, calmer, and more balanced since I started using it. It’s become a non-negotiable step in my skincare routine. Highly recommend for anyone wanting that healthy, lit-from-within glow!

I’ve been using ILIA The Base Face Milk Toner for a few weeks now, and I’m genuinely impressed. First of all, I love that it's nontoxic and vegan—it feels good knowing I'm putting something clean, conscious, and quality on my skin. The texture is super lightweight & airy. My skin is more hydrated and dewy than I’ve ever seen it. Over time, I’ve noticed my complexion looking more even and refreshed. It's a bit expensive for a toner, however an entire bottle lasts me longer than a month and my skin thanks me for it. My recommendation is to use a dime sized amount when applying. I have definitely overused and had problems applying my foundation after. I apply it right after cleansing, and it gives me an instant moisture boost and healthy glow before layering with sunscreen and foundation. It’s definitely become a staple in my routine!

This is my favorite, I absolutely love it. I apply as my first step before makeup and it preps my skin so nicely. Sometimes I’ll even mix a few drops into my foundation or bronzing drops for a more natural, “no-makeup” makeup look. I also apply at night after cleansing, before Ilia’s barrier repair cream. (LOVE Ilia skincare products but beware some of their makeup is not as clean as they claim it to be!) It’s a wonderful milky consistency that you just gently pat all over your face and neck, and it feels lovely! The ingredients are clean, non-toxic, no fragrance… so soothing for the skin. This wasn’t my first time buying it and it won’t be my last. I know there are some other milk toner/moisturizers on the market for much cheaper but I genuinely love this one too much to switch it up!

It’s very lightweight and goes on nicely. It’d also hydrates well. The only reason it’s not getting five stars as it does make my cheeks a little red.

This balances the redness in my face. Lightweight - makes my skin dewy.

Listen, I know milky toners and skincare products are trending right now and I have tried several. I've used Laneige Cream Skin for several years and did not think I'd find something I liked more than that one...until I tried the Ilia one. Because it's so pricey, I bought the travel size first just to see if I liked it. It's divine! I don't use any heavy skincare products so it works great as a moisturizer for me. If I use an exfoliator, I do two rounds of this and I'm good to go! I can't say goodbye to my Laneige just yet but this is definitely in my rotation and I will continue purchasing as long as they continue leaving out fragrance in it.

Was a little surprised at how small the bottle was and I would prefer a pump to having to shake the container to get product out. I have used other products from this line and appreciate the non toxic aspect. Product feels really nice going on and penetrates quickly. Feels good on the skin. A little expensive, but then all good products these days seem to be on the expensive side.
