I am rather stunned; thank you for posting this. I was tempted by some of the Tatcha items and actually ordered one. However, it got lost in the mail and was out of stock so I never did get it. (Guess I was lucky!) I wonder what she would say about Algenist as I have quite a few $$$ invested in this skincare line now. Algenist seems to be coming out with more and more items quite quickly.

I wish I could watch her but I just can't. She looks so unhealthy. The skin is waxy and borderline yellow, has an odd sheen -- it's very open casket. I don't discredit her education or passion but I saw a few of her videos a long time ago and between her compulsive need to make videos and a square take on the industry, I figured for those who want to live a little, her advice/opinion is a bit severe.

What did she say re: TATCHA?

@IntoSkincare Not much positive to say. I agree with your comments about her appearance. I had never seen her before.

She is painfully thin; isn't she?

I think the waxy appearance is the amt of sunscreen she uses. lol I thought she did have some good stuff in some of her other videos. I use and love both of the Tatcha cleansers she covered, as well as The Essence. I am going to definitely try the cheaper other cleansers she recommended before I buy the Tatcha again though.

ETA: I forgot to say thanks, @ASLTW, for the link!

Well she basically says that fragrance and some other ingredients really are bad for your skin and many Tacha items do have them. You can get good skin care products for a lot less money from the drugstore.

I have a few Tacha items (but not the ones she reviewed). They are okay....not bad but not great either. I will use them up and move on to something else.

What i couldn't get around though was Dr. Dray's rash around her mouth. It just seemed ironic for someone reviewing skin care items to have this red rash around her mouth. I wonder what she's using or plans on using concerning this skin problem?

Yeah, I was kinda obsessing on that, wondering if it was the picture or what it was. In some videos she is talking about using tretinoin and the importance of using aquaphor or something like that around the corners of your mouth before applying. Maybe that's what it was from.

I could not stop staring at her strange eyebrows. She kept saying there would be issues with various products, but never got specific about what kind of issues except that alcohol was drying for the skin, but we already know that. I didn't think she was that convincing or maybe she needs some help in getting her point across.

OH! That stuff around her mouth looked orange on my screen.

I thought she needed to exfoliate.

Don’t know if that is better or worse.

Just BTW, I frequently find her information interesting and sometimes look up her recommendations for comparison.

I have the Tatcha camellia cleansing oil which Dr Dray kind of liked. At least the fragrance isn't a strong one and it washes off . I will use this occasionally when I do a double cleanse after I remove my eye makeup with Marcelle eye makeup remover pads which are unscented or use my L'Oreal micellar water which is also unscented. The Tatcha cleansing oil is ok but I wouldn't repurchase it. I didn't buy it at Sephora or Ulta at full price either. I got it at Winners more than a year ago and it was about half of what it normally sells for.

@IntoSkincare To sum it up, she said the only thing she would be tempted to buy on the TATCHA website is the pearl necklace, but pearls are not cruelty free or vegan.

If I am going to take advice about beauty products from someone, I want them to look healthy and maybe like she believes in a beauty routine. I have never seen her before, and wasn't impressed.

With due respect, I would not take beauty advice from someone who looks like a chracter from a Tim Burton's movie. I used to have cystic acne and rosacea and after using Tatcha for over 3 years, my sking looks like a million bucks! My own dermatologist is so amazed at how much my skin has improved. No more pills or prescription creams. I use the Essence, the cleanising oil, the rice powder, and the replenishing cream daily. The violet mask I use it once a week. I agree that the price is high but I take advantage when they're on sale and on easy pay.

I would not discourage anyone from trying or keep using any products from any line. At the end of the day, if it works for you and it makes you happy, go for it. We don't need anyone with a doctor title to tell us not to use it just because she/he says so.

Good luck ladies. No matter what, you are beautiful!

I agree completely with @mimi moon. Skincare is very personal. If something works for you, GO FOR IT!

I use the Water Cream and thus far I have no problems.

I also use Charlotte Tilbury’s Magic Cream. I really like that.

I like her videos, she makes some good points about expensive skin care, ingredients and the proper use of sunscreen. She has made me aware of the necessity of reapplying sunscreen and not just once in the morning. Yes, she's thin but I think she's naturally a thin person who eats healthy and works out. If you watch her videos, she eats quite a bit just vegan based. I love the videos with her mom and when she shops the drug store and Costco and goes over the indredients and gives her opinion. I enjoy her silly sense of humor!

She lost me at her rant about how bad botanical extracts are followed immediately by how it does have some good ingredients, such as green tea. Which is a botanical extract.
