  • OMG! Words cannot express how much I LOVE this exfoliant! I've used scrubbies, harsh beads and plain washcloth in the past to get ride of flakiness and just to maintain a glowing complexion. Not anymore! This is so gentle and effective that I'm tossing all the other exfoliants away! For reference, I have oily, acne prone and sensitive skin. Recently I started Retin A to battle the breakouts but I'm left with peeling, red, flaky skin. This takes care of that without adding more insult to injury with regular scrubbing. My skin is just glowing and I won't be without it! I started with the sampler set and just upgraded to the full size. That's how much I love it! I alternate between the classic and the gentle formula depending on how much stuff I have on my face and how much I'm peeling. Either way, you can't go wrong! Love Tatcha! Where have you been all my life?

  • best skin care ritual on the planet!!!!! Rating

    First of all I would like to say that customer service at Tatcha is five star!!!!! Everyone is so kind and helpful, wonderful people!

    I have tried many, many skin care lines. I also worked with a lot of skin care lines ( I am a skin care specialist).
    Without hesitation I can say that Tatcha is the best skin care out there!
    I have purchased the whole ritual. I love every step of it and literally I can not wait to wash my face.
    This line is so gentle yet so effective. It beautifully evens out skin tone, hydrates and deminishes pore size. No matter what skin type you have Tatcha will make it beautiful and silky. If your skin is congested oily, you have pigmentation that you would like to lighten or your skin is very dry and it needs deep hydration this line will do magic!
    I hope Tatcha will never change formula or discontinue any of the products.
    Thank you so much for creating this line and than you for being so kind to your customers.

    My 2 favorite products of Tatcha are their Camellia Cleansing Oil and their Rice Enzyme Powders. If I absolutely had to choose between the 2, though, I would probably have to go with the Rice Enzyme Powders, as it's a 2-in-1 exfoliant-plus-cleanser - and I need all the exfoliation I can get!

    Being oily-skinned, the Deep Rice Enzyme Powder is my favorite of the 3 choices of rice enzyme powders (Deep, Classic, Gentle), but on days when I'm not looking for a deep clean yet still want a bit of exfoliation, I reach for the Classic Rice Enzyme Powder. It's never going to be as moisturizing a cleanser as the Camellia Cleansing Oil, but it is certainly on par with the gentlest non-oil cleansers on the market.

    Additionally, while the Classic Rice Enzyme Powder is recommended for people with normal or combination skin, my mother uses it with no issues whatsoever (not to mention excellent results to boot), even though she has older, dry skin. Indeed, all 3 "potencies" of Rice Enzyme Powders are incredibly well-formulated. If you can only choose one Tatcha product, you can't go wrong with their Rice Enzyme Powders!

  • Skin is like a baby's... Rating

    Acne is my old arch nemesis. I've been dealing with it for 28 yrs (I'm now 40). I've used Differin, took Tetracycline, benzoyl peroxide, washes, etc..which has resulted in very sensitive, oily skin. I've heard of rice being good for skin and I was extremely intrigued with this product. After two weeks of using the enzyme powder...my skin feels like a baby's butt. This with the combination of the brightening serum...my skin looks and feels radiant! I love that Tatcha's products contain all the ingredients good for skin and leaves out all stuff that isn't! Thank you Tatcha!!!

  • love this! Rating

    I have always had super acne prone skin. After doing some reading on Tatcha I decided to give it a try. I love it! Not only does your order ship really really fast, I have gotten the nicest hand written notes and some samples with all my purchases!
    I love the way my skin feels after using this! My acne has gotten so much better and the overall condition of my skin has improved! It feels much softer and looks great! You have to try it to believe how amazing it is!

  • Simple Luxury Rating

    I have been searching for a skincare line that is simple and provides powerful, fast results and have finally found it with Tatcha. This little powder enzyme is sublime on my skin. I put a little delicate powder on my wet hands and it turns into a soft cream that goes on gently. It quickly tranforms my skin into a smooth canvas. My skin is soft and supple never dry.
    I love this product! The design of the package is perfect. You always get the right amount and never waste a drop! Excellent design. Thank you Tatcha!!!

  • Nothing better than Tatcha! Rating

    I have suffered from problematic skin for at least 10 years. Finally at the age of 25, things have changed! I read about Tatcha on a blog and decided to give it a try. Joking with people, I said "I am going to have skin like a Geisha".... little did I know, I actually would. My skin has never looked better - more even, soft, and generally healthy! I love the products, especially this cleanser! I have cut out all other facial care products from my regime; this is all I need. I am so grateful I gave Tatcha a try! I will be a forever Tatcha customer. BIG thank you!!

  • Saved my skin! Rating

    I know the title is a bit dramatic but let me explain. My skin is very sensitive. I can use a very mild cleaner and very plain (didn't work well) moisturizer. I never even thought exfoliation was something I could user. UNTIL NOW! Although I now use the oil cleaner and moisturizer in this range I noticed that with this powder my skin glowed! My moisturizer just sunk into my skin, even my makeup looked better (if I wanted to wear any). At first I thought the price was a little steep but after trying it I don't mind at all.

  • Adore this!! Rating

    The classic rice enzyme powder is amazing!! I generally have sensitive skin but I never had an issue with this - it's so gentle. It leaves your skin feeling so smooth and moisturizer. All other scrubs that I've tried leaves my skin feeling dry and tight. This is completely worth every penny and I highly recommend it!!

  • Holy Grail! Rating

    I do not particularly like using abrasive-type exfoliants as I am not fond of rubbing sandpaper or granules on my skin. However, this is gentle yet potent enough for effective exfoliation. Definitely has helped with the clarity and appearance of my skin. This definitely preps your skin up for layering on the rest of the Tatcha skincare line. If I had to pick one product from the line, THIS would be it.

  • Skin Savior! Rating

    I started having problematic skin once I moved to SoCal and started my new job (must be the stress and dry air?!). It was like my skin just refused to exfoliate or renew itself and I started developing little bumps under my skin - oil clots, according to my facial therapist in Asia (whom I obviously am unable to see regularly for treatment). I tried using AHAs, BHAs, fruit acids, "natural" and "organic" scrubs as well as the Clarisonic. Nothing worked, what I inherited at the end of endless exfoliation trials was dehydrated, peeling skin AND the oil clots were still there! I stumbled upon Tatcha about 2 months ago and started with the sampler set. Like all the reviewers here, I was stunned by the Enzyme Powder! I was wary about using it everyday, so I used it alternate nights after removing my makeup - what a difference it makes! My clots started to disappear and my skin was soft and smooth. A few weeks ago, I had to make a long trip overseas and in that time, I didn't bring along my Enzyme Powder (BIGGEST MISTAKE EVER). Needless to say, I returned home with a forehead full of oil clots, dehydrated peeling skin and it made me so upset. I started using Tatcha's Enzyme Powder again about a week ago, with the sampler set moisturizer, brightening serum and cleansing oil. Vicky will be so proud to know that my skin is once again transforming to its optimal look and feel. Hopefully in a few months, I, too, will have geisha-worthy skin!

  • Wow Rating

    I am totally blown away by this product. I've used the Clarisonic for years, and never achieved the same smoothness and radiance in my skin as I have after a week of using the Classic Rice Enzyme Powder. I use morning and night, leaving on my skin for about 30 seconds each time, and follow with the Tatcha Brightening Serum, and have seen a drastic reduction in dark spots and acne scars. Such a fantastic find. Thank you Tatcha!

  • I am a big fan of this powder!! Rating

    Growing up, I always liked enzyme base face wash. Only the problem was that it was not very easy to find a good product. Naturally, I got really excited when I first heard of this powder. The result was beyond my expectations. Now I use it in the morning and at night. This powder does not leave my skin dry. I love the silky foam and it became one of my favorite ritual now that I can not live without! Also the size of this powder is very generous it easily lasting into 3 months now.

    Bravo and Thank you Tatcha for keeping my skin happy.

  • Pores no more Rating

    I loved the smell of the gentle powder. I felt my face was instantly cleansed and a difference in my pore size. It is the best exfoliator I have tried and doesn't dry out or strip my skin.

  • my new additction - the powder-to-foam transformation is amazing! Rating

    my boyfriend recently purchased the TATCHA sampler set, but since he has sensitive skin, he only used the gentle powder, and let me give the classic and deep powders a try. i had only been using basic face cleansers before and was amazed at how the powder instantly transformed into an incredibly smooth foam that felt like absolute luxury on my face...i was instantly hooked, and can't stop using the classic powder now, especially with all of the attention and compliments that i am getting from my smooth and blemish-free face - i love it!!

    "Global Beauty Products That Will Rock Your World"

    "Tatcha's gold-flecked Aburatorigami papers have raised the beauty bar in shine control, and their new complexion line exceeds all of our expectations....The rice enzyme powder...will change your life."

When brewing their fabled drink, sake masters, or Toji, constantly immerse their hands in rice bran, only to have them emerge fresh, pure, cherubic. Geisha noticed this phenomenon and rely on rice bran even today to polish their skin to a luster.

The secret? Japanese Rice Bran (Komenuka), prized for its skin soothing and smoothing enzymes and gamma oryzonal, a potent anti-oxidant against UV-induced oxidative damage.

This same Komenuka is at the heart of all TATCHA POLISHED Rice Enzyme Powders. 

How do I use this product?
Begin with very wet hands. Dispense about a half-teaspoon and rub to create a creamy paste. Massage onto face for up to 1 minute avoiding eye area. We recommend beginning with 10-15 seconds before working up to a minute. Rinse and revel in your soft, smooth skin.

What step in my skin care ritual is the Polishing Powder?
Use of the polishing powder is the 2nd step in your TATCHA ritual. For best results, use after removing makeup with the Camellia Cleansing Oil, then followed with the Deep Brightening serum and a Tatcha moisturizer.

When should I use this product?
The enzyme powders are gentle enough for everyday use (or even twice daily use morning and night).

Can I use this as a cleanser?
Yes, if you are not wearing makeup or if you’ve already removed makeup, this product can act as a 2-in-1 cleanser, both cleansing and gently exfoliating the skin at the same time.

Why is it in powder form?
The formula is actually water-activated so it’s important to keep it in a dry form before use. Upon pouring the powder into wet hands and adding water, it turns into a creamy lather that can be massaged into the face with highly efficacious cleansing, exfoliating and conditioning results.  

Is it okay to exfoliate everyday?
Unlike conventional Western exfoliants, which are often too harsh and stripping for everyday use, TATCHA’s Rice Enzyme Powders are specifically formulated to be used everyday and won’t strip the skin. This is one of the key differences in the approach of traditional Japanese skincare and Western skincare regimens.

Which Rice Enzyme Powder should I use? Can I mix and match?
Generally, the Gentle version is best for people with more sensitive and/or drier skin, Classic for normal/combination skin and Deep for more active skin. However, your skin needs can be different each day and from morning to night and using different versions can be beneficial at different times for the same person.

What is HADASEI-3 Bioactive Complex?
At the heart of all TATCHA skincare essentials is a proprietary anti-aging complex of Green Tea, Okinawa Red Algae and Japanese Rice Bran extracts.  Together, these time-tested extracts work to keep skin looking pure, polished, luminous and supple.

Can I use this with Clarisonic?
Use of the Enzyme Powder satisfies all of your skin’s exfoliation needs. You should not need to use any additional exfoliating tools or products with our Polishing Powders.

Does each powder contain the same active ingredients?
All three powders are formulated with our proprietary HADASEI-3 Bioactive Complex . In addition, the Gentle powder contains licorice extract to help soothe sensitive skin, the Classic powder, formulated for combination skin, contains conditioning pearl extract, and the deep powder contains dokudami, an anti-acne, anti-inflammatory extract to help with active skin.

Can I use this product around my eyes?
We do not recommend using the Enzyme Powders around your eyes.
