What are your skin concerns? Personally, I like a lot of TATCHA - am 30's with easily congested combo skin. While I thinkher cleansing oil is very good, there are other formulas out there, more affordable and just as good. The enzyme powder (the classic formula) is fantastic on my skin. The new water gel moisturizer is pretty good, not earth shattering. I've tried the deep hydration serum and it was good but I would not splurge. In my opinion, the two things I would keep on restocking are her SPF35 moisturizer and the ageless eye cream.

@tqza23 Thanks for asking this question. I have also wondered about this line but I'm just not in the mood to sink a bunch of money into a new line.

I have yet to find a product in this line that I did not love. I bought some of the discovery kits and been thrilled.

I can not tell you the last time I have been so impressed and I try a lot of lines.

This is one line that I have stuck with the longest. My favorites are the cleansing oil, enzyme powder and eye cream. I love this line along with Paula's Choice.

The only product from the line that I tried was the Deep Rice Enzyme Powder.

It was OK, I didn't really see any difference in my skin after using it. You get a rather large amount of product and you don't need to use a lot so it would probably last a long time, depending on how often you use it, of course.

I actually purchased through Tatcha's website. They offer free shipping and three samples with every order. I ended up sending it back (returns are free!) since I didn't think it was worth $65.

I use Tatcha deep hydration serum under my eyes to prevent bags! It's wonderful! Nothing else has worked as well for me. But her pricing seems to be escalating and I don't know why. Please keep it real Tatcha! The bottles are small and contain very little product, so you have to continually keep purchasing.

The Overnight Memory Serum is awesome! My skin is dry and I have been able to use it without adding another moisturizer to it. In the morning my skin is so soft and my lines are less noticeable. I am almost 67.

much too expensive

@Tricolor have you tried Neutrogena products? not for nothing but $$$$ is not a guarentee the product is worth it. As women we tend to think the more it costs the better it will work.........Soooo NOT true.

btw 79 here ,no wrinkles,no dry skin

@MalteseMomma, I have tried some Neutrogena but the only thing that I really like is their eye makeup remover. I have learned that price doesn't equate with quality. However, sometimes there is a higher priced item that makes it worth the money. The Tatcha product that I was referring to lasts a very long time because only a small amount is needed. So I can stretch my money a little.

Tatcha is just too expensive for my wallet. I always look for alternatives that are more affordable.

In my quest I found this on Amazon. Cost is $25 for about 2.5 ounces powder (Tatcha's is 2.1 ounce). The reviews are outstanding.

I haven't tried Tatcha, but I saw their presentation on QVC the other day and I found it to be ridiculous.

a) The creator's story is that she worked in the beauty industry and "tried out too many products on her face which led to her skin aging by several decades according to doctors." Ummmmm what?

b) Then she became "disillusioned by the beauty industry" and went to Japan "to find a new beginning" and learned about the beauty routines of the geishas and made her skincare line based on that. Why would someone base a skincare line off the beauty routines of people who wear extremely heavy makeup that would cover all imperfections anyway?

c) Her demonstration of how red algae is the "magic ingredient" in her skincare, involves dropping a bunch of dried red algae into a bowl of water and showing how they open up when inside the water. Then they tell you that because the algae absorbs so much moisture it is able to "lock moisture into your skin." And then the host was LITERALLY like "do you want your skin to look like the dried algae, or the hydrated algae?" SHOWING THE PROCESS OF OSMOSIS INTO THE ALGAE PROVES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING EXCEPT THAT ALGAE HAS HYDROSTATIC CELL WALLS.

d) If this lady's skin is so nice, then why is she wearing such heavy makeup during the sales pitch?

e) She said because her skincare line is formulated off of a "300-year tradition" and because it is from "natural ingredients," it has "none of the chemicals that you have to worry about." Yes because there are no harmful ingredients that come from natural sources and because beauty routines of the past had nothing dangerous in them at all

Also Beautypedia gave them a pretty scathing assessment:

@SilleeMee .... Thanks! I've been curious about this line, but not willing to shell out the $$$$. I might try this.

Hahaha, thanks! Just telling it like it is

I have a degree in molecular and cellular biology so I am kind of sensitive about this stuff. Some of these "scientific" claims that these companies make are patently ridiculous and it really bothers me how they prey upon consumers who don't have a good background in science. I'm happy websites such as Beautypedia are out there to set the record straight because it's very hard for the consumer to follow all the actual research out there about ingredients.

absolutely love this line and I have tried so many thru the years just wish it wasnt so costly but has made a real difference in my skin

Re: Tatcha

angiel — Fri, 26 Aug 2016 14:55:19 GMT

I agree with previous posts, I have never stayed faithful to a skincare line for this long...over two years. I'm 40 and my oily/ acne prone skin is clear and even. Can go out comfortably without any makeup on, and honestly being an acne sufferer all these years I'd pay anything to maintain clear skin.

SXMGirl — Fri, 26 Aug 2016 15:05:37 GMT

I have quite a few things from Tatcha and really wanted to love the line. However, I don't. I found that my face gets very red when using it. I do like the cleansing oil, but I think Josie Maran's is better, and I also think her exfoliating grains (not sure what they are really called) are also better. Tatcha's eye cream is very nice and I will probably continue to use it, along with the Sirot that I recently purchased.
