Reviews

So so amazing

"Anyone saying this has the dreaded sunscreen smell has never smelled or used anything from Tatcha haha. It smells just like their purple line, so light and spa like. As for the product itself, it blends right in so easily, it plays so well with makeup, is very glowy and hydrating which I want, and I love that I’m getting the highest level of protection, as I don’t want to use anything under PA ++++ because I really am passionate about protecting my face from sun damage and photoaging. Such a beautiful formula, that it’s beyond worth the price. Also, as someone who only shops cruelty free, Tatcha will continue to have my dollars and support for being a cruelty free company!! Thank you Tatcha <3"

"Silky and light. Works great under all my foundations and tints. My go to spf these days."

— Cheryl (5/5)

The perfect hydrating sunscreen!

"I have very dry skin and suffer from bad eczema patches on my face. Most sunscreens break me out with eczema, but this one is sooo hydrating and soothing on my skin. Highly recommend!"

— Julian O. (5/5)

Lovely sun screen

"It absorbs nicely with no cast. Unfortunately, I didn't realize it was made with Avobenzone, Octisalate and Homosalate which are not great ingredients known to cause hormone disruption. I'll make sure to get a mineral based sunscreen next time."

— Maribel G. (4/5)

The best sunscreen!

"I have used so many sunscreens, that looked white, thick or made my skin breakout. This is the best sunscreen that I have ever used! I use it on my face, arms and hands. I wish it came in a larger size or body lotion. I sometimes use it as my daily moisturizer. It leaves my skin soft and not tacky."

— Julie M. (5/5)

"The sunscreen is ultra light and perfect under makeup Love it!!"

— Julianna (5/5)

I wanted to love this

"I really wanted to love this product! I’ve been using the silky mineral sunscreen, and I loved the tinted version. I was very excited that this product offered healing properties as well. I’ve just about finished this bottle, and I have been sunburnt at least four times on my face while wearing this…even after re-application. I also noticed an increased in sun sensitivity. Not sure if it just doesn’t play well with my other products, but super bummed! Will not be purchasing again"

— Loren (2/5)

"Took 8 days to arrive."

— Ann (3/5)

"Fabulous. A little goes a long way. I used this all summer and under the Mediterranean sun. Protected my skin wonderfully. Not a single burn, nor did I peel. Silky smooth on the skin. Not tacky or drying."

— Michelle (5/5)

I just found my all time favorite!!!

"The way this sunscreen absorbs into the skin is unreal. I have been on the market looking for a sunscreen like this and finally found it. I have tried so many, and all of them felt so greasy and on top of my skin, making me feel sticky. The Tatcha Milky Sunscreen is the complete opposite, and it just blends beautifully. Also, a major plus is that it plays so well with any type of makeup. . . I had problems with my makeup peeling off if I wore sunscreen; now I don't have this issue. Worth the purchase. And about the fragrance? It is nothing crazy or "perfumy"; it just smells like every other Tatcha product, very faint and soothing."

— Melissa E. (5/5)

Is There a Dewy Skin Cream Dupe? What to Try Instead

Dupes have never been more popular, but we believe you get what you pay for. They can be wonderful for some types of products, but with a lack of clinical testing, proven ingredients, and proprietary formulas, we worry skincare dupes aren’t worth the lesser price tag. Many have tried to dupe Tatcha’s beloved Dewy Skin Cream, but there’s a reason they can never compete with the original: Hadasei-3. This proprietary formula is the secret to why the moisturizer (and all other Tatcha moisturizers) feel so decadent and hydrating, and why it’s undupable. If price is the barrier, you have better options than a dupe: Start with the mini, refill instead of repurchasing, and use Subscribe and Save once it earns a permanent place in your routine.

The Best Face Products for Dewy Skin

Dewy skin is popular for good reason: it appears luminous, hydrated, fresh, and naturally radiant. Tatcha has spent more than a decade researching and formulating skincare designed to support hydrated, naturally radiant skin. The best products for dewy skin depend on your skin type, preferred texture, and desired benefit. Essences can help prepare and soften skin, serums provide targeted hydration, moisturizers seal in moisture, mists offer an immediate refresh, and face oils add finishing radiance. You do not need every dewy skincare product to create a luminous finish. Start with a moisturizer suited to your skin type, then add an essence, serum, mist, or face oil based on the level of hydration, texture, and radiance you prefer.

Achieve Dewy Skin With These Hydration & Oil Control Tips

The key to dewy skin is proper exfoliation, oil control, and drenching the skin in multiple layers of hydration-focused skincare. To achieve dewy skin, exfoliate regularly and apply successive layers of hydrating products in the following order: essence, serum, moisturizer, and finally either sunscreen (in the daytime) or facial oil (in the evening). If your skin tends to get oily, managing excess shine can help maintain a dewy rather than greasy-looking finish. Use oil-absorbing products that manage long-term oil production, then blotting papers to temper oil throughout the day. Dewy skin can’t be achieved without a healthy lifestyle, though: restful sleep, eating a well-balanced diet, and managing stress not only make your skin more radiant, but also contribute to overall health and well-being.
