"I’ve tried many different cleansers but this is the most balanced and effective cleanser that I’ve used. It not only thoroughly cleanses my skin, it dissolves makeup and leaves my skin incredibly smooth after rinsing."
"I have sensitive skin and rosacea. This stuff removes makeup so gently and thoroughly. Eye makeup melts away. I love it! Best remover product I've ever used."
"This has made removing makeup so easy."
"This stuff is amazing. As someone with a lifetime of sensitive skin/rosacea, I try new products with great hesitation. I have been using the calming cream for years with great success so I decided to try this and the new sensitive skin rice polish. Love it. The redness in my skin has reached a new level of suppression. It hasn't looked this white or felt this comfortable in years. My only complaint--make a larger size."
"This is for people whose skin has maybe changed, and who are looking for a new solution: I first bought Tatcha's Camellia oil when it initially came out on QVC, almost 15 years ago. I have loved it for a long time. It was the only thing that kept my dry, flaky skin hydrated and plump, even through the harsh Midwestern winters. But somewhere in my late 30s, I started breaking out a lot, and it took me a long time to realize that my beloved oil was to blame. From there, I cycled through all of Tatcha's cleansers, and then other brands too, and while the breakouts stopped, my skin remained dry and rough, and I finally gave up and accepted being a gross, unwashed gremlin--until this month, when I stumbled into a sample of the cleansing balm. It cleanses, it smooths, it doesn't strip the skin, it pairs well with the rice polish and the silk cream that I continue to love, and for the first time in 6 or 7 years, I am washing my face every day again because I wake up looking fresh and healthy instead of broken out and irritated. I am so grateful Tatcha released this formula, after my skin betrayed me in such an unexpected twist. It's genuinely so nice to be comfortable with my face again!"
"My skin is healthy and clean after using the cleansing balm. I love the way my skin feels after using the product."
"I've been using this cleanser for a few months now and don't get me wrong. I love it! It helped my sensitive skin heal within the months I've used it. However, when I received my fukubukuro bag, I noticed another cleanser inside. The camellia cleansing oil. I've tested it and I determined that it was better for my skin. However, I will still finish both indigo cleansing balms before switching to the oil. To anyone out there with sensitive skin, I highly recommend the indigo cleansing balm! It will not disappoint. Trust me :u1F90C|type_4:"
"I love cleansing balms and was so excited that Tatcha had one and for sensitive skin. . . but I'm allergic to it. :( Pros: cleans like a dream, feels soft, made my face feel soft and not stripped, and the blue color is fun! Cons: unfortunately every time I used it my skin became more red and irritated. Once I stopped using it, my skin returned to normal. Now I have 2 unusable jars of product. This is a miss for me. Also, it is a much smaller quantity than most balms, especially for the price."
"This product is new to me, but the rest of line is not. Used up the last of other cleanser before purchasing this new one. I especially like how it is to be applied without water at the beginning. I add some rice powder to it a few times a week for exfoliating benefits. Add this to my Tatcha regime. My skin loves it!!."
"I like this balm for its greaseless texture and zero scent. It removes the day's products; however, it leaves my skin a bit tight and dry feeling."
Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
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.
