Reviews

Irritation, puffy eyes, be careful

"I was not going to write this review, but I decided to because of the attitude the customer service team had. This eye cream gave me really bad irritations. Red puffy eyes, dried patchy skin, lots of discharge from both eyes, and they were also super itchy. The damage is not irreversible. Especially around your eyes. Be careful. Rather than making my eye area look brighter, it made it darker after all. If you thought these pictures don’t look too bad, these are about one week after the occurrence. So my eyes were healing already. Because I was in shock and so devastated that I deleted all the photos of my crazy eyes from my phone. It took about 10 days for my eyes to heal, and for the first 3 days or so, people asked me what was wrong with my eyes because they looked so bad like I got punched in my face. That was how bad it was. I gave two tries to this cream. Because at first, I wasn’t sure if it was the eye cream. I don’t like to blame products for what could’ve been environmental or stress. But after the second use, I’ve confirmed it’s indeed this eye cream. Be careful when you use this product especially if you have sensitive skin. I’ve NEVER EVER had any kind of reactions like this in my life. And I’ve tried A LOT of products. The customer care team could’ve simply said “sorry it didn’t work out for you and we’ll see what we can do” without going on “our formulas are created to be nice to skin…” blah blah… because it already happened to me and that’s the fact. I’ve even attached horrendous pictures for them to see. There was no simple acknowledgment, but an attitude."

Kate (1/5)

"Here’s a more natural, casual version of your review: First time I’ve ever had to return one of my orders. The cream arrived separated, like it had been stored on its side for a while. There was also a thick line of separation that looked like the fat layer you sometimes see on stock after it’s been refrigerated. I didn’t feel comfortable using it, so I decided to return it."

Toni (5/5)

Q&A

Is this suitable for rosacea?
Hello! Clients with rosacea have anecdotally told us they have used this product with success. Always patch test new skincare on a small area of skin on your neck by your ear for several days before applying it to the face. Also, it may be a good idea to show the ingredient list to your dermatologist before incorporating new skincare.
Can this be used on the upper eye as well
Our Eye Treatments can be used on the upper eye lids.
Can I put this cream around my entire eye (eyelids, too) or just underneath my eye?
The Brightening Eye Cream may be used on the entire eye area including on the lids.
Do you use the brightening eye creme both day and night?
Hello! Yes, you may certainly use this eye cream both day and night.
Does this work for hereditary dark circles?
Topical treatment such as our Brightening Eye Cream may improve hereditary dark circles but will not eliminate them.

Dewy Skin Cream Dupe
Dewy Skin Cream Dupe

Dupes have never been more popular, but we believe you get what you pay for. They can be wonderful for some types of products, but with a lack of clinical testing, proven ingredients, and proprietary formulas, we worry skincare dupes aren’t worth the lesser price tag.  Many have tried to dupe Tatcha’s beloved Dewy Skin Cream, but there’s a reason they can never compete with the original: Hadasei-3.  This proprietary formula is the secret to why the moisturizer (and all other Tatcha moisturizers) feel so decadent and hydrating, and why it’s undupable.  If price is the barrier, you have better options than a dupe: Start with the mini, refill instead of repurchasing, and use Subscribe and Save once it earns a permanent place in your routine.

The Best Face Products for Dewy Skin
The Best Face Products for Dewy Skin

Dewy skin is popular for good reason: it appears luminous, hydrated, fresh, and naturally radiant.  Tatcha has spent more than a decade researching and formulating skincare designed to support hydrated, naturally radiant skin. The best products for dewy skin depend on your skin type, preferred texture, and desired benefit. Essences can help prepare and soften skin, serums provide targeted hydration, moisturizers seal in moisture, mists offer an immediate refresh, and face oils add finishing radiance.  You do not need every dewy skincare product to create a luminous finish. Start with a moisturizer suited to your skin type, then add an essence, serum, mist, or face oil based on the level of hydration, texture, and radiance you prefer.

Achieve Dewy Skin With These Hydration & Oil Control Tips
Achieve Dewy Skin With These Hydration & Oil Control Tips

The key to dewy skin is proper exfoliation, oil control, and drenching the skin in multiple layers of hydration-focused skincare. To achieve dewy skin, exfoliate regularly and apply successive layers of hydrating products in the following order: essence, serum, moisturizer, and finally either sunscreen (in the daytime) or facial oil (in the evening).  If your skin tends to get oily, managing excess shine can help maintain a dewy rather than greasy-looking finish. Use oil-absorbing products that manage long-term oil production, then blotting papers to temper oil throughout the day.  Dewy skin can’t be achieved without a healthy lifestyle, though: restful sleep, eating a well-balanced diet, and managing stress not only make your skin more radiant, but also contribute to overall health and well-being.
