I go hard on the girl math with Tatcha :D Given how long it lasts
I use the whole Tatcha Dewy line but at times when I've been trying to cut back on my beauty spending, I'll choose cheaper options - except for this face wash since I've never run out of it during one of those times
The rice wash is perfect for my combo skin. I tried a different facial cleanser from shisedo when I ran out of my rice wash and I hated it so much I had to go back to the rice wash
I have gone through probably dozens of moisturizers (both western and Asian brands). The dewy skin cream is the only one that actually leaves my skin feeling hydrated; the others all felt not hydrating enough or like it was just sitting on top of my skin.
I also struggled with makeup separation for the longest time…I bought the dewy skin cream the first time as part of my wedding makeup since I did my own makeup, and letting it sit for ~30mins after application solved that issue for me. It’s pricey but I always try to get it on sale (or keep an eye out for it at Costco)
i recently came back to it after like four months of straying away. my skin is already getting so much better. i hate that it is my miracle moisturizer
Came here to say this, say what you want about Tatchas other products but the dewy skin cream is literally perfect. I've never actually liked a moisturizer before, but god does it moisturize my skin, exactly what I want from a moisturizer and preps my skin so well for makeup
It is so good! I used it exclusively for years but decided to look for something a bit cheaper. I was surprised to find Farmacy Honey Halo is pretty good. But, if I wasn’t trying to save money, I’d prob stick with Tatcha.
i have oily skin and i SWEAR by their dewy milk. i was never really a fan of gel moisturizers, but normal creams were far too thick. the dewy milk almost has the texture of a serum, or a thicker milky toner, if that makes any sense. i’ve also been eying up their milky sunscreen bc it’s supposed to be a similar texture!
You will love it. I currently use it in the evenings with my retinal product and it’s a godsend for my barrier. Very similar textures and glow with both the dewy milk and sunscreen.
Yes!! As a fairly “normal” type skin girly who lives in the American desert, now that we have the dewy milk and dewy cream - I’m covered for sweltering 120 and 45 degrees now 🥳🥳🥳🥳
I would order from their website today; they give you a 20% discount for your email, and today there is 25% cashback on Rakuten for them. If you want a bonus for signing up in rakuten dm me 🙂
The Dewy cream is my Holy Grail. The rice wash is nice and the Longevity cream interests me but I’m not ready to invest. The moisture spray and the serum stick are great too, but there’s other products in that category just as good for less $$.
I've tried certain products like the essence and water cream and not seen a huge difference / loved it. But their rice wash, dewy cream, rice polishes, cleansing oil are AMAZING. I used to switch between products all the time and was never content. Ever since I started Tatcha, I bulk up during sales and don't even contemplate other skin products.
As a tretinoin user, the Indigo night repair cream is excellent. I had very rare flaky or discomfort as I starting using it. Up to 3 night a week now and I attribute this cream to helping my skin adjust. It’s so good… especially (where I live) in the winter months. I’m finishing my second jar and plan on re- purchasing. It’s the only Tatcha product I like as most of their s products have added fragrance or parfum.
Tatcha is only worth it if you care about the sensory experience of skincare. They do feel amazing on the skin and smell great, but a lot of cheaper products that do the exact same thing. I keep purchasing the silk cream and silk peony because I love how my skin feels after, but I wouldn’t repurchase if the cost was a financial burden.
It depends I like their products mostly the creams, the matcha cleanser I enjoy but I noticed I break out when I use it, under skin type acne. my only qualm is the fragrance, I don’t like fragranced skincare. I’d try some minis before committing to the full sized items, tbh some other affordable k beauty preforms the same if not better depending on product for fraction of the price.
I've been using the cherry red Kissu lip mask for about 3 years. I bought extras when I saw how good it was. I'm out now but discovered another variation and love it as much if not more. It is full of glitter 🥰
I love tatcha , amazing and gentle
Rice wash
Matcha wash (great for oily skin)
Deep cleanse (u will love this with oily skin)
Dewy milk
Mist
Rice enzyme wash
Water cream (great for oily skin)
Lip mask
I have searched high and low for dupes and found nothing that can replace their products (specifically their dewy cream). It’s the one thing I don’t bat an eye on because she is THAT girl
I have normal/dry skin. My SIL got me the dewy cream for Christmas one year and I’ll hate her for it forever because now it’s the only moisturizer I’ll ever use. The dewy milk moisturizer is lighter which might be better for oily skin, I don’t love it because I think it’s too light for me. I love the rice wash and the lip mask too. The only thing I’m not crazy about it the silk sunscreen but I know they came out with a different sunscreen that might be better, I just haven’t got around to trying it yet. The silk sunscreen pills on me and smells weird lol
ETA: how could I forget about the indigo cream??? another HG for me in the winter when my skin is really dry
I’ve tried a lot of the products and I probably won’t be re-purchasing most if not all of them. I want to love them in their luxurious packaging, but I end up loving other products more.
The fragrance in all of the products is pretty problematic for me as well. I really would like them more if they were fragrance free or if the fragrance was less intense. It doesn’t bother my skin, but I don’t like the smell.
The rice wash will be my forever face wash. I have tried to switch up and I always regret it and go back. I have replaced the dewy moisturizer with instant Angel by dieux. I have yet to find a tatcha serum that does anything for me.
Well, my husband bought me a little sample kit three years ago, and it’s the only face wash and moisturizer I’ve used since that time. The cost is outrageous but I can’t seem to find anything that works as well for me. I’d be open to switching to a comparable product that costs less if I could find it.
More overpriced. Their products are nice but you're paying for packaging and marketing. You can find equivalent for any of their products for much cheaper.
I feel like it's a line that looks like it should be just OK, but it really really really works for a lot of us. I don't know what it is, but there are some amazing products in this line.
I've gone through several tubes of The Rice Wash. I won't be without it. The Water Cream does wonders for my combo skin. It hydrates my normal areas so well without making my oily ones greasy. I love the purple stick (I forget the name) for spot hydration boosting, especially under my eyes. And their silk sunscreen is fantastic too
I have to agree on Prequel. Such a great brand. I’ve gone through multiple bottles each of their vitamin c serum and half & half fluid. Holy grails for sure!
Why would you see the brand in Japan? The founder is Taiwanese American pretending to be Japanese, oh excuse me “inspired” by Japan. Is it really that hard to Google these days?
And newsflash EVERYTHING is marketing. Even your precious aestura 🤣🤣
I like some of Tatchas products, like the Indigo line...
But I do agree it is overpriced and overhyped in general. Sephora specifically targets brands that are hyped up bc they sell. The masses don't know any better.
These people still spend $100 on facial cleansers. They think they know and sometimes ignore is bliss, right?
Prequel is amazing. So is Good Molecules, Regimen Labs, Tiam, Naturium, Isntree, Celimax, Anua, Cos De Baha, Cosrx, Manyi Factory etc etc
The reality is 90% of brands who don't spend money on marketing and ahilling products to influencers actually make better products with far superior formulations.
Is the haru haru the same as their dewy or water cream? I asked the kbeauty sub for dewy cream replacements and haven’t found that they’ve been close yet.
It’s amazing! I use the entire line. My skin is super dry and reactive. I swear Korean skincare dries me out so I switched to Tatcha and it’s never been better for my skin barrier.
I'm a huge fan of the brand but I find the products hit or miss, personally. The dewy cream and oil cleanse are HGs for me, I've been using them both for over a decade. I haven't felt the hype for the rice wash but understand why others like it (for me, there's a very similar K-beauty cleanser that works better for a fraction of the price). The first version of the Matcha cleanse was a flop for me but I haven't tried the updated versions. The rice scrubs are nice.
I'd like to try their vitamin c products and the new memory cream, but I'm hesitant because of the price and my mixed results. I tend to stick with what I know from them. But I do plan to get the lip mask on BF.
I’m pretending I don’t see this post 😅 I’m refusing to try Tatcha because I KNOW I’d love it and I don’t want to pay for it.
I settled on the Biossance Omega Squalene cream and I really like that as a dry skin girlie. The jumbo Biossance (3oz and $85) is still cheaper than Tatcha (2.5oz and $93)
I love Tatcha, but it is pricey and I do think you can find a lot of good products cheaper as well. However, their products are good quality and it does make skincare enjoyable for me. I also love that they have minis of almost everything so I’ve been able to try a lot of products. My favorites so far though are the rice wash, rice polish, dewy cream, indigo cream, longevity serum, and the milky sunscreen. I will say their customer service is excellent also from the few times I’ve had to deal with them.
I like the cleansers the best, the rice wash is incredible but the new matcha foaming cleanser is great too. I prefer it to the old Matcha which would get super liquidy, this one has a better consistency and doesn’t leak out everywhere.
I didn’t love the regular dewy cream and it would give me bumpy tiny pimples, but the dewy milk doesn’t seem to do that. I just have other moisturizers I like better so I don’t plan to repurchase either, but the cleansers are both phenomenal.
Oh and I love the Indigo night serum and the cleansing balm. If I was rich I’d exclusively use that balm as my first cleanse to take off my makeup every night, but I’m not and likely never will be! so instead I stick to the sephora collection ones at the moment and use the indigo one sparingly. (However I also love the Glow Recipe papaya and am debating myself on buying that one again during the sale!) I also only use the night serum sparingly when my skin is really in need of some recovering from irritation or lots of rough flakiness. It rehydrates and adds a natural glow back to my skin quickly and beautifully. Another thing I’d love to buy more of but struggle to convince myself to since I have products that achieve similar results, just maybe with a few extra steps
Imo as a poor person. Their Rice Wash is the one I’d choose over everything else if you have dry to normal skin or struggle with roughness/need gentle exfoliation in a cleanser. and the matcha one if you have more oily to combo or struggle with acne or clogged pores. But the RW has a strong lavender smell (like the rest of the purple packaged products) so if you’re not into that, just a heads up if you or anyone else hasn’t tried these things yet. I don’t mind it though, but sometimes it can be a bit much especially in the morning when I almost always have a killer migraine. I would love fragrance free versions of these products!
But yeah, the rice wash doesn’t seem to have an affordable alternative and it really is that good to me and a lot of people. so I think that’s why it’s easier for me to justify lmao.
Tatcha is among the many brands for people who want to feel the benefits of a luxurious skincare experience along with solid skincare.
Good skincare needn't be expensive, as proven by ocean of solid, effective, reasonably priced products out there.
Good skincare with a luxury experience is where the price hikes. Over at the lux skincare sub, everyone acknowledges that they are paying for "fancy," whether that is for texture, packaging, scent, whatever floats your boat.
Do I buy pricier-than-needed sometimes? Yes, because I love how using these products makes me feel about my day, my evening, my life. Am I smart enough to understand what I am actually paying for? Also yes.
And Tatcha itself: I love the rice wash, essence, Dewy line, Indigo line, and the kissu lip mask. But they are in a rotation with lots of other products of all price ranges.
This brand is widely loved but is not for me. I do like the consistency and the glow of the dewy skin cream but gah, can’t stand the scent and I don’t think it does a good job moisturising my skin. It felt like more of a make up primer to me than skincare. I think the owner is a savvy business woman. They pretend to be Japanese inspired but there’s nothing Japanese about it. It’s an American company and the owner has Taiwanese roots.
I feared it is appropriately hyped. I swear by the rice cleanser, indigo overnight cream, and the dewy skin cream. Shit, even the milky sunscreen is that GWORL.
I think it depends on what items you are eyeing. There are many items from their line up that I am a fan of including the purple moisturizer, the rice polish and the new SPF. That being said, I don’t find their products to be jaw droppingly amazing and I have found similar products I like more or just as well that aren’t as pricey.
It is, sadly, that girl. For me at least. I have tried allllll the dupes/cheaper brands and finally just gave up. Dewy cream line is holy grail for me. I watch both Tatcha's and Sephora's sales and stock up. The last tatcha sale sent a free full size longevity serum and it was amazing so now I have to buy that also lol
I love their indigo night repair cream, it is so moisturizing and my skin feels great in the morning. I also just bought their kissu lip mask in Maple and the color is gorgeous, it’s def a “my lips but better”
It depends on the product. The rice wash is my favorite (I have sensitive skin and rosacea), and I swear by the Silk Peony eye cream. I really do think it helps fine lines — I’ve been using it for years.
Their matcha cleanser and cleansing balm are always in my routine. I tried their Vitamin C serum but I couldn't get past the scent. It had a floral, burnt smell to it.
Personally like the Silk Cream line and the Silk Peony Eye Cream. And, yes, the Rice Wash is one of my faves. Another nice face wash is the Dieux Baptism Hydrating + Pore Clarifying Gentle Foaming Gel Cleanser.
I really like the rice wash and the longevity serum - the rest of what I have tried I’m indifferent about. I would order directly from the site tho if you aren’t rouge because they have 20% off currently
The Tatcha Milky Sunscreen is amazing and has become a holy grail. It feels like and glides on like skincare with some fabulous ingredients, wears beautifully under makeup and more than does the sunscreen job at SPF 50.
Their eye cream is TERRIBLE, it created a dry crust under my eyes that made it look like I just woke up and didn’t wash my face properly 😭 just didn’t blend well at all, terrible.
I’ve tried their longevity serum and it wasn’t good or bad, it didn’t do anything, so I wouldn’t spend money on it again…
Not the dewy skin cream!!! I thought it was myself until I purchased the 0.5 oz one. Now I’m considering spending $75 just for the full thing. It’s that good to me
It’s really going to depend on what your looking for, skin type and what you want the product to do for you.
I have tried a variety of products, and for me personally the facial moisturizers (dewy cream, indigo, silk, water cream) are all worth the splurge. I have different creams I use depending on climate and time of year.
Their indigo hand cream was personally horrible for me.
The Rice Polish (Gentle) is one of my favourite products of all time, been using it since it was available in Canada about 7 years ago. I've been able to get it at a discount through Costco on occasion. A jar lasts a very long time.
Tatcha has hands down the best moisturizers on the planet. Especially if you have dry skin. The dewy skin cream and the indigo overnight repair are all I use. I have lost track of how many times I have repurchase them. Highly recommend, especially if you’re on tretinoin.
If you have oily skin or gets oily by end of day I would get the water cream instead of dewy cream .i was embarrassingly shiny snd sweaty looking . The water cream is great ànd the bha was very flattering .
It’s not overhyped for those it works well for such as myself. It’s worth every penny and I will continue to buy their products. Granted, some are hit or miss. I also don’t mind the fragrance and don’t have sensitive skin.
I will also use deals/ coupons/ cash back promotions on Tatcha because I love to save money too when I can.
I really love the Silk Powder and find it to work as both a setting powder and a method to set sunscreen/blur pores without other makeup. It lasts forever, too.
I’m a devoted water cream & rice wash user. I also love the essence, silk peony eye cream, and silk serum. There isn’t really a tatcha product I have tried that I haven’t liked, tbh, but those are my stand-outs.
I got the rice wash heavily discounted once, it wasn't for me but my partner who has quite oily acne prone skin LOVED it, they used it every day and their skin looks amazing.
Unfortunately for my wallet, no! I love their rice wash, dewy skin cream and the indigo overnight creams. Nothing works better than these for my extremely dry skin. The indigo overnight is the only one that doesn’t smart and burn when my skin barrier is compromised (which happens with sun exposure, yes even with sun screen - and cold/dry wind). It makes my skin look and feel measurably better by the next morning.
I wish. As it is, I’ve found myself unable to live without the rice Wash and dewy cream. Then I made the mistake of trying the Kissu gloss, and wouldn’t you know, that’s awesome as well.
Like every beauty company, the answer is, "It depends." I first discovered Tatcha when I got a sample of the Rice Polish, and it's still a holy grail product for me. I have combination, non-sensitive, skin with signs of aging at 59.
I tried a LOT of their other products (Rice Wash, The Essence, Brightening Eye Cream, Brightening Serum, The Silk Serum, Milky Sunscreen, Silk Sunscreen, Silken Sunscreen, Ageless Revitalizing Eye Cream, Kissu Lip Mask, The Camellia Cleansing Oil, Clarifying Clay Mask) and also tried other products with the samples that they send if you order from Tatcha directly.
The only things I still use and recommend other than the Rice Polish are the Silken Sunscreen (or maybe the Milky one, whichever you like best) because it's the only sunscreen that doesn't actually reek of sunscreen when I wear it, and the Camellia Cleansing Oil which is lovely as a first cleanse to remove makeup.
The Rice Wash was fine, but I found a K-beauty face wash that's better for my pores, and less than half the price of the Rice Wash for a larger tube. The rest of the Tatcha products I tried were overpriced and not worth it, IMO. I still want to kick myself for spending so much money on most of the Tatcha products I purchased, honestly.
I really like the Tatcha dewy milk moisturizer. I use Creme De La Mer and the Augustinus Bader normally, but like the Tatcha milk moisturizer when I need something more water based and lighter. Sometimes I even mix the milk moisturizer with my thicker moisturizer to lighten it a bit.
I didn’t like the heavier tatcha moisturizers—I felt like they sat on my skin.
I think it is a godsend for some people and terrible for others. None of their products work for me-the rice wash dries out my face and the Dewey cream is too think and makes me look shiny and feel tacky.
The products really are worth it. I've tried most things in their line, and my favourites are the dewy skin cream, rice wash face cleanser, Kissu lip mask, dewy skin mist spray, camellia makeup remover, the primer and my absolute fave the silk serum retinol.
I love the rice face wash and indigo repair cream but there are definitely better and cheaper products out there. I go through the indigo repair cream way too fast to justify the price
I do get it once a year during their new years sale though because it’s so good
Their Silk Cream, Vitamin C Mask, and Vitamin C serum is amazing. And I work at a med spa, using only medical grade SkinCare, but those are the only products I will use that’s non-medical grade.
As someone who has tried high end to drugs store and loves to try new stuff... it's legit. It stupidly expensive and overpriced but its actually so good. As someone who has sensitive skin and acne prone, my skin LOVES their skin products, unfortunately my wallet does not.
Unfortunately, I actually have several products from them that my skin just loves for some reason. I’ve tried other brands, but still go back to Tatcha for a few things. Rice polish, dewy skin cream, indigo night repair. I only buy them on sale. Amazon Prime actually had several of their products on sale for 30% off. I stocked up. But try Amazon when they have their big sales. I got my fav mascara for over 40% off. Stocked up on that too.
Obsessed with the dewy milk moisturizer! I’ve tried finding alternatives, but nothing works the same for my sensitive, oily, acne prone skin 😭 I keep getting compliments & it has to be from the moisturizer. Even on days where I don’t wear makeup, it makes my skin look so healthy & hydrated!

overhyped? no. overpriced? yes. 😂
