Awesome product

Love it

"Very light don’t need much , goes in smooth . I use tinted moisturizer so I use on my cheeks and under eyes to smooth wrinkles. I’m over 60 , keeps my skin hydrated. Not sure how it will do in the summer with Texas heat"

— Cynthia A. (5/5)

Feels amazing on the skin!

"I googled best primer for mature skin and Tatchu's Liquid Silk Canvas is what was recommended. I was using Estee Lauder before I bought this product. This product is soooooo much better. It goes on so light, doesn't feel sticky or thick, it honestly has the feeling of a light lotion. The best part though is it keeps my makeup from caking in my wrinkles and my makeup stays all day. I am 48 with mature skin and this is definitely a winner, I highly recommend."

— Alicia D. (5/5)

It’s been about three years

"It’s been about three years that I use the product and I am really enjoying and happy. Thanks"

Q&A

There is no "straw" attached to the base of the pump on the Liquid Silk Canvas primer (mini size) I purchased. Did I receive a defective product, or is this the intended design?
The mini-size Liquid Silk Canvas uses an airless pump, so a hose is not attached to the nozzle.
I just opened this item to use. The top came off and noticed it was only half full. Is this normal?
Hello! If you need assistance with a tatcha.com order, please kindly email customercare@tatcha.com and a specialist will get back to you shortly.
Which is better for fine lines and matte skin, liquid or satin primer?
If you want a more matte look, we recommend the Liquid Silk Canvas as it helps control shine slightly better than the balm version. We hope this helps.
is this silicone or water based ?
Thank you for asking! The Liquid Silk Canvas is a silk-based formula. We hope this helps.
For at least how many hours will this primer hold after I put in on? Other primers I used only last for 6 hours the have to reapply.
The Silk Canvas will keep makeup in place until you take it off at the end of the day. We hope you'll love this!

The Best Lightweight Sunscreen for Your Face
The Best Lightweight Sunscreen for Your Face

Sunscreen used to be considered thick, pore-clogging, and opaque white — but today’s iterations are impressively different. Modern sunscreen is lightweight, nearly invisible, and can actually improve the look and feel of skin. A lightweight feel is not only sensorially important, but it also helps to make the experience of wearing it more enjoyable, while encouraging you to use it daily. It’s a pleasure to use, rather than a chore.

Oily vs. Glowy Skin: How to Tell The Difference (And Get the Glow)

While oily skin and glowy skin can seem similar, they are distinctively different. Oily skin is from an overproduction of sebum from the sebaceous glands, while glowing skin gives off a natural radiance from a balanced, hydrated, and healthy skin barrier. There’s nothing wrong with oily skin, and, with a few specific products, you can take excessive oiliness and transform it into glowing, dewy skin. Utilize balancing cleansers, lightweight moisturizers, and oil-absorbing primers to help look more glowy than oily.

4 Transformative Benefits of Using the Best Face Essence

An ancient staple in Japan, essences are finally gaining popularity in the US. An essence is a watery liquid infused with skin-benefiting active ingredients that can hydrate, brighten, firm, and more. An essence is pressed into the skin after cleansing and before serums and moisturizers, and is designed for daily use. Some of the best essences for the face have dramatic benefits, including hydrating, plumping, reducing the appearance of wrinkles (as effectively as a retinol), and making the rest of your skincare products work better.
