"I so wanted this to work this time. I've tried Tatcha before but it broke me out then. So it's been a few years and Tatcha skincare is recommended by articles and influences for great skincare on mature (I'm 66) skin. But it broke me out on my shin and little cyst bumps under my eyes. I was hopeful, maybe other people will be able to wear it without ingredient worries"
"I love everything I have tried from Tatcha. I especially appreciate that the entire line works well together. Easy to layer with no build up. I have been using Tatcha for 1 yrs now. I always considered myself to have great skin but at 48yrs old I needed extra help. I am now 49 and have seen a significant improvement on the overall health of my skin."
"Tatcha is one of the greatest skincare lines ever made! High quality products and excellent customer service! Thank you Vicky Tsai for creating Tatcha! 💜💜💜"

In this conversation, Tatcha Global Ambassador Kiko Mizuhara opens up about the intersection of skin and mind—how caring for her body has become a way of caring for her emotions, too. She talks candidly about learning to define her own worth after years of seeking it elsewhere, what Japan's contrasts of softness and intensity have taught her about beauty, and what ritual, rest, and self-acceptance look like for her today.
Sunscreen protects the skin from UV rays, but it is proven to also protect the skin barrier by shielding it from free radicals and preventing dehydration (from repeated sun exposure). However, some modern sunscreen formulas include additional ingredients that can actually repair and strengthen the skin barrier while also shielding from UVA and UVB rays. Look for ingredients that tout their reparative nature, like ectoin, alongside SPF 30+ formulas, to ensure skin is protected while it repairs.
Many moisturizers hydrate, but the right formula can also impart a dewy glow. These options actually work to get the skin naturally glowing over time, which is exactly what Tatcha’s dewy moisturizers accomplish. These formulas are powered by Hadasei-3, a potent and proprietary complex formulated to hydrate, gently resurface, and even make the products applied afterwards work better. Tatcha has many moisturizers, but two specific formulas that embrace dewiness: The Dewy Skin Cream and The Dewy Milk Moisturizer.
