Are these products worth the money? I'm in my 60's with quickly aging skin, I need something that actually works.

I also am in my 60s, for me using different products is best for me. I love the Tatcha serum. My other go to products are LeMer face wash and scrub. The oil is fabulous. Drunk Elephant serum and moisturizer is fabulous also. So you see I switch it up. Oils are a must at this age. This is all my opinion and what has worked for me. Good luck.

LOVE Tatcha!! I am 65 and have used their products exclusively for the last 2 years and my skin has never been better. I love and appreciate the beautiful packaging and the scent of their products is divine (although it's very light and dissipates after application). I am worth the price, BUT,.....I never pay full price. QVC usually has great deals, including their yearly TSV. In addition the Tatcha website has occasional sales, including a very good after Christmas sale. Having a soothing, luxurious skin care routine is something special I do for myself, and I'm so glad I found Tatcha.

I have tried and love Tatcha. I have personally used Perricone for a number of years and it is best for my older skin. However, I always say that if there comes a time when I cannot afford Perricone, I will go to Tatcha.

I purchased their trail size four-pack a few years back and really liked the products. I think it is a very good line of skin care.

Side note......when I was in Japan a couple of years ago, every skin care place I went to, there was nothing called Tatcha. I thought it would be well known because of how the owner talked with geishas when formulating the product. Unless she carries it under another name in Japan, I couldn't find it. Was curious on how the pricing might be in Japan, where so many things are expensive.

I am in my 60's and recently tried small sizes of Tatcha. I have large pores, some acne scarring and uneven texture. I have tried sooo many skincare brands and was using Dr Denese. I started Tatcha and gave it a week. Then I took a hand mirror and decided to look closely at my skin (something I always dreaded to do). Well, I couldn't believe it....I thought I was looking at a different face! My skin looked totally different. Red blotches gone, skin smooth, pores much less visible. I could have cried. After years of searching, I found my skincare line! I used the deep cleanse, the essence, and the rice polish deep. I just placed a large order with Tatcha during their 20% off sale. I think it's a skincare line definitely worth trying....you can start with the smaller sizes in a kit. And watch for the sales!

I am a fan of another Japanese company, Shiseido. My skin was in awful shape recently from over use of products or under use--I'm not sure, but going back to a simple routine helped and Shiseido was the winner of a few things I tried.

My skin is very sensitive but oily and old. Products from this brand, especially sunscreens without Avobenzone, work well for me.

I've wanted to try Tatcha for a while and thought I would wait until a TSV. However, my fear is that I will try the line, love it, and then not want to go back and its just really hard for me to justify spending that much money on skin care. Prices are really expensive.

I always look at the price first because for me no skincare product is worth going broke for. Addressing the seven signs of aging should not have to cost an arm and a leg.

I have been a skin care junkie trying every line out there from Walgreens to QVC to Neiman Marcus. My skin was oily and acne-prone and now in my 60's combination dry and oily at times still acne-prone. Tatcha has been by far the best skin care line for me. I have used it for years now, and I have not ever had a breakout while using Tatcha. My pores are smaller, my skin texture is smoother and my fine lines and wrinkles are diminished. I will not use anything else. Great skin care is worth it! The packaging is beautiful and makes me feel pampered.

Having said that, skincare not able the money, because I beleive the packaging has a lot to do with it. My SIL worked for biotherm as a regional manager years ago. They owned Lancome, L'oreal and Biotherm. She said they skincare lines would get together and share the same formulas but it was the packaging and names were different. She said getting L'oreal was like getting Lancome and that time Biotherm which was their highend products.

All in all,no matter what the price it is the end results for me...and Tatcha is the best out there for me.

Paula's Choice all the way. The price point is reasonable and the line has products for all skin types.

@godi I use some of Tatcha's products & very pleased also...I also use products from JM. My question is: What do you like the most from Tatcha's camilla beauty oil? There are excellent reviews as far as results..absorbs well...also good for hair... Have you used JM's Argan oil? I am going to purchase the oil & would like your opinion or if you have used JM's oil for comparion. Thanks!

Re: Tatcha

godi — Wed, 16 Jun 2021 12:21:03 GMT

@Kabella I have never used any JM products. The only oils I use are La Mer oil and the Tatcha they both absorb beautifully. I have tried Darphin oil. It stays on the skin forever. It's all a gamble with beauty products. You don't know until you try. My favorite is the LaMer

@IMW - which eye cream do you use? When I looked on their website there seemed to be different ones. That is one item I may be willing to try.

You've posted about being on a limited budget so understandable that you would focus on price. But for you to suggest that Tatcha costs an arm and leg is a great exaggeration.

Also, you can waste $$$ trying lower priced products that aren't effective and cannot be returned.

I generally look 1st for information about the brand and specific products that interest me - referrals, reviews and ingredients. Price is NOT my 1st concern.

I haven't seen any snarky comments on the drugstore thread yet some that can't afford higher priced beauty items seem to be disgruntled and repeatedly take swipes toward premium beauty brands. I take note of this obvious bias and discount their comments about pretty much anything regardless of price bc they seem to have a chip on their shoulder

I totally agree (Tatcha). But, I have to give credit for the opposite end of the $$ spectrum too. The Ordinary has been a god-send. The two combined have transformed my "meh" skin to WOWZA/foundation-free skin.

@monicakm So what have you used from these lines?

I'm an Elemis user but decided to buy the Tatcha TSV. It's a big NO for me. The eye cream is greasy and my mascara/eyeliner travels below my eye. That serum broke me out and I won't even try the rice powder. I'll stick with Elemis. A big disappointment. I don't get the hype.
