Q&A

Is this pregnancy safe?

All of the skincare pieces in our collection is formulated to be pregnancy-friendly. For specific questions about any of the ingredients, please contact customercare@tatcha.com

I have developed Rosacea on one side of my face earlier this year. I am so thrilled with the Indigo Calming Cream it has really helped especially with any redness. It just takes it away almost immediately & I do not break out anymore. I have tried the essence in the past and within a couple of days my face got red & developed dry spots on the rosacea side. I waited a couple of months & tried it again & the same thing happened. I wish I could use it & was wondering if I diluted it with one of your products or water do you think that would work? I have extremely sensitive mature skin. This is the only one of your products that I have tried has caused me a problem. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

We don’t recommend diluting The Essence with water or other products, as this can affect its effectiveness and may still cause an allergic reaction to your skin.

After cleansing with the Tatcha Rice Wash, I wipe my face with an acne toner pad and then apply benzoyl peroxide. I want to introduce the Essence into this skin care routine. After cleansing when should I use the Essence.

Thank you for your question! The Essence should always be applied just before your serum step. If you don't use a serum, apply The Essence just before your moisturizer. Take a palmful of The Essence and press it into skin. It will absorb very quickly so you can continue with the rest of your routine. We hope this helps!

Should I let this dry before applying serum/moisturizer or does it help absorb to layer immediately after?

Hello! We recommend giving The Essence a few seconds to absorb before applying your next step to maximize the benefits for your skin. We hope this helps!

Can this replace a hydrating toner?

Thank you for reaching out! The Essence does not replace a toner, but instead acts as a plumping softener. It helps plump and soften skin opening up water channels deep within. This allows all your serums and moisturizers to penetrate deeper and faster so you see increased results. We hope this helps.
