Hi, dolls!
You can read my 2 week update of using Kylie Skin by clicking HERE. As promised, I'm coming back with a 6-week update on Kylie Skin and the two products that I have been testing - the Foaming Face Wash and the Vanilla Milk Toner. If you're interested to see my thoughts of these products after testing them for more than 6 weeks now, let's get right into the review!
Kylie Skin was released in 2019 by Kylie Jenner with 7 essential products for your skincare routine - makeup wipes, cleanser, toner, eye cream, moisturiser, exfoliator and serum. I always wanted to try it out however, ordering from US to UK is a nightmare as you have to pay ridiculous amounts of customs and Kylie Skin doesn't even offer free international shipping after you spend a certain amount of money. I was super excited when Kylie Skin was launched across Europe in Douglas because I travel to Europe a lot to visit family back home, so I was finally able to grab it in store myself. When asking the store assistants about Kylie Skin I was told that it's a very basic skincare line which doesn't necessary target any skin issues and is aimed at teenagers and young adults. I went to Douglas with the intention of getting the Vanilla Milk Toner but it kept being sold out in store and each time I have asked about it, the store assistants kept offering other 'better' toners in their opinions that would do much better job for my skin than Kylie. I found this weird because it felt to me as if I'm being recommended to NOT buy Kylie Skin. However, as I really wanted to try her line, I ended up ordering the two online, I also wanted to try out the moisturiser but it was sold out both in store and online.
Every Kylie Skin product is free of parabens, sulfates, and gluten. They're also all vegan, cruelty-free and dermatologist-tested.
Kylie Skin Foaming Face Wash is infused with ultra-nourishing kiwi seed oil, packed with Vitamin C and E to help maintain moisture and improve elasticity. This gentle formula cleanses skin by helping to remove dirt, oil and makeup for a fresh, bright complexion. It comes in 149 ml/5 fl oz. Use it in your morning and night skincare routine. Apply it to wet skin and gently massage in circular motions. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. Avoid storing the product in direct light.
My Thoughts:
I wasn't planning to purchase this product and only bought it because the moisturiser was sold out but I'm so glad I did! This product became my favourite face wash that I have ever used, it's super gentle for my skin and definitely leaves my face looking super fresh and bright. I will be definitely repurchasing this product once it finishes, but after almost 6 weeks of using it, there is still 1/4 of it left. I also like its soft scent, I can almost smell the kiwi but the fragrance is so minimal in this that it did not break my skin out.
Key Features:
- Glycerin: A humectant that helps balance the moisture in your skin. If your skin is dry, it will draw in moisture and if your skin is oily, it will help decrease the oily appearance of your skin
- Mild, gentle cleansing ingredients: Derived from coconut. Gentle & effective
- Kiwi Seed Oil: An antioxidant. Kiwi seed oil is a rich source of Vitamin C & E that helps hydrate and brighten skin
- Lightly Fragranced
Ingredients:
Water/Aqua/Eau, Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Potassium Cocoate, Glycerin, Hydroxyacetophenone, 1,2-Hexanediol, Caprylyl Glycol, Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate, Citric Acid, Polyquaternium-39, Fragrance (Parfum), Sodium Benzoate, Actinidia Chinensis (Kiwi) Seed Oil, Sodium Hyaluronate, Phenoxyethanol
Kylie Skin Vanilla Milk toner is a described as gentle, alcohol-free facial toner which helps to replenish the look and feel of your skin. It's formulated with avocado oil, kiwi seed oil and apple extract to help soothe, tone and restore natural hydration. This toner helps unclog, purify and minimise the appearance of pores. It comes in 236ml/8 fl oz. Use it in your morning and night skincare routine. After cleaning the skin with the foaming face wash, squeeze a small amount onto a cotton pad and sweep across skin.
My Thoughts:
Firstly, I always wanted to try out this product because it's alcohol-free and that's super important for me when it comes to face toners. Secondly, I love the toner's scent - it's a vanilla milk toner but it smells more like a coconut. My skin is super sensitive, so I was worried to use a product that has fragrance in its ingredients, however there has been no irritation or breakouts or bad reaction to it. However, it's definitely an okay toner and not one you need. I wasn't as happy with it as I was with the Foaming Face Wash and if I'm being honest, I'm not sure if I'll be repurchasing this toner, at least not for now.
Key Features:
- Apple Fruit Extract: An antioxidant that helps to improve the look of skin
- Squalane: A highly refined moisturizing oil derived from olives that helps to strengthen and restore skin’s moisture barrier

- Sodium Hyaluronate: A derivative of Hyaluronic Acid that helps hydrate and plump the skin
- Jojoba Seed Oil: Helps condition skin with a weightless feel
- Alcohol-Free
- Lightly Fragranced

Final Thoughts
I was super shocked to see so many negative reviews that Kylie Skin has received over the past year because my experience with their face products has been super positive. I have a very sensitive skin and none of their products broke my skin out or irritated me in any way. I do agree with the statement that Kylie Skin range is a very basic skincare range, targeted at teenagers and young adults and not so much at different skincare concerns, but I did enjoy using her products. Although I was more excited to grab the Vanilla Milk Toner, I ended up loving the Foaming Face Wash way more and that is definitely one product from Kylie Skin I will be repurchasing once it launches in the UK (2 more weeks!) I will be also looking into testing her other products because I truly enjoyed using her products. The toner is definitely not a must-have but I think if you do get it, you won't hate it. On the other hand, the foaming face wash is super worth it!
I hope you have enjoyed this post, let me know down in the comments which Kylie Skin product you would love to try out? Have you tried any yet?!
