"Love this sunscreen as an oily skinned individual. I wear moisturizer and this sunscreen only on the daily, and this smooths over my skin nicely and my skin isn’t nearly as slick and sticky throughout the day. I have tried others but always come back to this one."

Reviews
Best sunscreen for face I've ever used
"I have been using this sunscreen for several years. I love its texture (non-greasy). It blends in and leaves no white residue and can double as a primer. The protection is very long-lasting."
Love this sunscreen- don't know what I'd do without it
"My skin is well protected and gives me confidence to be out in our strong sun at high elevation. The lotion is very moisturizing and I live the consistency- easy to apply and get even coverage"
Not exceptional
"This sunscreen is perfectly fine. However, it is not water resistant and it also has a faint but persistent chemical smell that my mineral sunscreens do not have which bothered me enough for me to wipe it off before a day was over. It smells like your typical chemical sunscreen. This is a combo chemical and mineral sunscreen. For the cost per oz. it is not worth it for me. I'd rather buy a more moderately priced sunscreen that is water resistant, especially in the summer time due to sweat and water activities, that does not have an unpleasant odor. Brands like Cerave and Tizo offer really good mineral sunscreens for a much better value."
Best mineral sunscreen
"It doesn’t leave a white cast on my skin and keeps me from getting sun burned. Apply generously and allows for it to sit on the skin for a few minutes before going in with makeup."
Oily skin
"So I have super oily skin and this is the only sunscreen that doesn’t look get all dewy / cast looking or feeling gross after application. I seldomly write reviews also but this one deserves 10 stars and if your an oily babe like me , try it out and see if it helps you too."
Love the texture
"This is my favorite sunscreen. No sticky residue; no matte chalkiness; and it works."
The Product tester
"This sunscreen goes on very smoothly!! Love the feel and the end results of no shine and a natural finish."
Not impressed
"I didn’t like the white paste it left on my skin. I only tried it once because of this so maybe I didn’t give it a fair chance."
love the creamy sunscreen
"best sunscreen ever used"
Q&A
- Is this sunscreen non-comedogenic?
- Hello! While this product is not tested for comedogenicity it is free of ingredients that would potentially clog pores.
- Can this be used all over the body or is it for face/neck only?
- Thank you for reaching out. The Silk Sunscreen SPF 35 was created with protecting the face and neck in mind.
- If expiration date has passed, is sunscreen still effective?
- If a sunscreen is past its expiration date, it is not recommended for use. The effectiveness to protect against UV rays can be significantly reduced.
- Should I use makeup remover to remove sunscreen after applying it?
- Any of our cleansers will remove your sunscreen at the end of the day. Choose based on your skin type and texture preference. If you need help choosing one for yourself, feel free to email our team at customercare@tatcha.com and they will guide you.
- Can either of your sunscreens be mixed with any of your moisturizers? If this is done, will it make the sunscreen less effective?
- For best results, apply your moisturizer first then layer a sunscreen over the top. It is not recommended to mix the sunscreen with a moisturizer.

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.
Repair While You Protect: Barrier-Repair Sunscreens Are the Newest Skincare Technology
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.
How to Choose the Best Dewy Face Moisturizer
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.
