Never have tried Tatcha guess that will still stay the same. I'm a beauty junkie but think its way too expensive for a travel kit. Seriously those that have tried the brand would you pay that much for a travel kit?

I have not tried Tatcha but the full sizes are expensive.  For me, I am thrilled to be able to get the discovery kit to see if the products work for me.  $50 is a good price point considering these are high-end skin care products.

This is the first time this has been a TSV. When Lisa R was on, she had this same discovery kit and I think it was the same price or even less $. I bought it well over a year ago and especially liked the first 2 products. I have very sensitive skin that can break out so I bought the rice cleanser for sensitive skin and not the one that is in the TSV. Also have purchased the large size of their cream for sensitive skin which is not in the TSV. Their products are expensive but I liked the results and you use very little of each product as it is rather cost effective. Actually this isn't a bad price for a discovery kit.

I think 50 dollars is reasonable for a discovery kit.  This is a more pricey brand, so they are priced accordingly.  Actually, it costs more to make those little jars and bottles and fill them, than it does the regular sizes.  I haven't ordered this brand, but I have bought other discovery kits,  They last long enough to get a good idea if it will work for me.  I need to use everyday for at least 2 weeks to see if I break out, and if it is working.

 A couple years ago I bought the Ole Henricksen Discovery Kit for $49 .... and it was worth every penny, and I now use two of the items on a regular basis,    

The PTR discovery kit is $44 .... I guess you have to go by others' comments if you're on the fence.

I agree that it is expensive, especially for less than 2oz of products and one a cleansing oil.

• 0.35-oz travel-size POLISHED Classic Rice Enzyme Powder
• 0.34-oz travel-size Luminous Deep Hydration Firming Serum
• 0.34-oz travel-size Supple Moisture Rich Silk Cream
• 0.8-oz travel-size One Step Camellia Cleansing Oil

Tatcha has a strong following, many people love it.  Tatcha, in general, is too expensive, IMO.  Plus, the talc in the exzyme powder can be irritating to some people.  When Victoria first came on QVC, right around 2 yrs. ago, I was intrigued by the cleansing oil and enzyme powder (all she offered at the time) but just couldn't justify the expense.  I still haven't tried Tatcha, but have been delighted with the Dr. Young Camellia Cleansing Oil dupe I found and have been using since then.  If I hadn't seen that Tatcha demo, I would have never been prompted to search for an alternative and I wouldn't have experienced the improvement in my complexion from using a good cleansing oil.  At that time, I also discovered Fleur de Lis Enzyme Powder.  I was very pleased with it and was recommending it for awhile, but then I remembered something from my past (Eminence Strawberry Rhubarb Dermafoliant) which I've gone back to.  I get both of them on Amazon.  It's a little bit of an investment at first, but the containers are larger than Tatcha's regular sized products, and are still less expensive.

I was a little curious about the raves on this line. But after seeing the tiny sizes - even for travel sizes - it's an easy pass for me. A cleanser that's not even 1 ounce??? To get a visual of how small these containers are, I went thru my current beauty stash to find comparable sizes. They are very small. No way, I could stretch it to last a month. Bravo to the QVC camera people for making the products look decent size on tv. I seriously am impressed with how they shoot items to make them look bigger etc. It's an art!

Wow, I just watched the TSV video with Gabrielle (alone - no Vicki or vendor stand-in).  Gabrielle and Chantal (the model) aren't even demo-ing the cleansing oil correctly.  All they did was apply and wipe it off with a washcloth, they never added the water to turn it into a cleansing milk before removing.

Watching the demonstration I had to laugh how she applied the cleanser to her hand and then used a blotting paper to show there was no oil.  She barely touched the paper to her hand!  So obvious.  She then really pressed the paper on her face, I guess before applying the cleanser, to show the oil.  These sizes are just too small.  If I liked the product the price would be too prohibitive for me to buy the full size.  For those it works for enjoy.
