I bought the new Kylie Skin face wash because I’m a sucker for a $22 cleanser that promises the world. My skin barrier was already cranky from retinol, so this was either a rescue mission or a disaster waiting to happen.
Four weeks later, my face didn’t fall off — but the packaging is already peeling like a sunburn. That never made the PR shots.
It’s called the Peach Milk Foam Cleanser. $22 for 6.7 oz. The claim: “drenches skin in moisture while melting makeup.” Bold words for a foaming wash.
Peach Milk Complex
It’s not actual milk — it’s a milky texture, and it smells like a peach Jolly Rancher, not a fresh peach.
Foam Pump
One pump gives you a cloud so dense it feels like shaving cream. Two pumps is a bubble bath for your face.
Gentle Surfactants
It uses amino acid-based cleansers, which is why it doesn’t strip my skin like a bar of Irish Spring.

No crazy actives here — it’s a hydration play, not a chemical peel. The star is peach extract plus glycerin to hold water in your skin.
- Peach Fruit Extract: A whiff of sweetness, but mainly a gentle antioxidant
- Glycerin: The real MVP—pulls moisture in and keeps it there
- Niacinamide: Calms redness and helps fade my post-pimple marks
- Panthenol: A soothing agent that makes the foam feel plush

First wash: it’s thick, creamy, and rinses off like a dream — no squeaky tightness. My face felt like I’d just applied a light lotion, which was weird but nice.
Week 2, my chin broke out. Week 3, it cleared. I think my skin was purging from the niacinamide, but it settled. The peach scent faded by week 4 — now it smells like a plastic toy, which is disappointing.

The dry patches on my cheeks are gone, and my nose isn’t shiny by noon anymore. But my blackheads? Still there. This isn’t a deep-cleaning miracle — it’s a gentle morning wash.

It’s a solid, hydrating cleanser that does exactly what it says — no more, no less. If you want a soft, no-drama wash, it’s a good buy. Just don’t expect a glow-up in a bottle.
