"I wanted to love this product but unfortunately no matter how I put on this sunscreen it peels off i’ve tried multiple different ways to end up having it peel off so unfortunately will not be buying this product again just disappointed because I love tatcha products"
"Love the product"
"I really wanted to like this product but after trying to work with it, it just won’t do. I like that it reduces my oiliness throughout the day BUT upon application, my medium deep skin tone is left with a grey/white cast and the product pills so I had to wipe parts of my face with a wet cloth prior to makeup application to remove the pills. I wanted to like this but my old sunscreen (supergoop) is still the winner when I compare them."
"Although a spf on the pricey side this product is excellent. The texture is more cream than lotion but it feels light on the skin and absorbs fast. No issue wearing under makeup it does not pill. I rotate my spfs depending on the day and how my skin feels that day but I find myself reaching for this one quite often. Excellent product."
"Too small of a container for that price"
"I have loved this product for how smooth and even it makes my skin. It’s never clumpy always has a beautiful finish. This and the water cream moisturizer are my favorite duo!"
"I have been using this for years and have gotten compliments on how smooth my skin looks."
"This is ridiculous. This is a sample size. It is NOT worth $19. I thought I was mistaken when I opened my package and saw this tiny container. Would not recommend buying the mini. This is one of the only times I have felt cheated by Tatcha. I wrongly assumed it would at least be a travel size."
"This is my favorite primer. Non mineral sunscreen makes me breakout so I love that. I haven't found anything that feels this nice with spf."
"I am not a fan of the texture or weight of most sunscreens, but this formula is so light and non-greasy that I actually wear it every day. Even though the SPF is not high, it has been effective for me - I've worn just this at an outdoor event and it prevented any hint of a burn after a full day in the sun. I also appreciate its matte finish, which works well under makeup or without any makeup at all."
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.
