Cleansers & Exfoliators

About Tatcha Cleansers & Exfoliators

The first, and perhaps most important, step in your daily ritual is to purify your complexion by using a skin cleanser and a gentle exfoliator. In the classic Japanese skincare ritual this is known as a double cleanse. This traditional practice involves first cleansing and removing makeup with a cleansing oil, foaming face wash, or gel cleanser, then exfoliating to remove dead skin cells and smooth rough skin texture. From starting the morning fresh to unburdening the skin at the end of the day, our face cleansers and exfoliators are made to bring your skin into harmony, preparing it for the treatments that follow.

Crafted with pure, kind-to-skin ingredients, our cleansers and exfoliators invite you to wash the day away. Our gentle and effective preparations are formulated to remove dirt, oil, daily build-up, and even waterproof makeup and sunscreen. During the winter months, when your face feels tight and dry, our cleanser for dry skin, The Rice Wash, will keep your skin moisturized. During summertime, our cleanser for oily skin, The Deep Cleanse, will keep your skin soft and hydrated without clogging your pores. The Camellia Cleansing Oil, our 2-in-1 makeup remover and cleanser, gently removes sunscreen and waterproof makeup, and leaves skin feeling silky smooth. Whether your skin loves cleansing oils, or craves a balancing deep clean, our collection has a formula for any and every skin type.

Our Japanese face exfoliators and exfoliating treatments use chemical and enzymatic exfoliation to gently resurface skin, removing dead skin cells, to visibly even skin tone and texture. The Rice Polish, our water-activated enzymatic exfoliant, comes in four formulas tailored to each skin type. The key ingredients in this foaming enzyme powder are rice bran and papaya enzymes, two botanicals known for their exfoliating properties. The Texture Tonic is our liquid exfoliating treatment crafted with soothing Japanese mugwort, and is ideal for a quick refresh throughout the day. If you’re looking for a more intensive treatment, The Clarifying Clay Mask is a warming pore mask with Japanese kucha clay, konjac, and volcanic ash that gently but effectively exfoliates skin during application, but is gentle enough to use a few times a week to help reveal a more clarified complexion.
