Reviews

Worth the Investment

"I bought this product a month ago and have loved using it! Unlike other primers, this one actually moisturizes my skin and helps create the perfect canvas before I apply my makeup. The portion provided is also very generous and the product travels well due to the industrial but feminine packaging!"

— Maggie M. (5/5)

My favorite primer.

"This one is so nice for my skin. It's my favorite primer & I've tried a number of them over the years. It brightens my face a bit as it covers my pores. My BB cream goes over it well."

— Laura H. (5/5)

I come back to this primer every time

"I adore this primer. Its' effect it not too subtle, it creates a truly silky, velvet canvas with no pores. It also has a slight white cast which makes me look a little more pale but I don't mind this, if you wanted your natural color to come through you may. It is neither dewy looking or drying. Don't use too much or it will pill but the right amount is"

— Samantha D. (5/5)

"Best primer I have ever used. Evens skin tone and foundation goes on super smooth and does not sit in wrinkles"

— Tammy F. (5/5)

Game changer

It's nice!

"I like this product, but I feel like the sample I tried was better? Idk I'm still new to using it. . . . but it definitely keeps makeup looking it's best for longer. I'd definitely recommend it."

— Rosemary B. (4/5)

It’s getting better with every use

"I had a small sample and used it after my milky sunscreen so had to purchase the full size. So like my title says it is making my face better with each use!"

— Kathryn W. (5/5)

Love this product

"It just makes my face look smooth without being caked up; also serves as a good base for any other tinted cream."

— Violeta H. (5/5)

"Beautiful blurring primer. I use this over a light layer of tinted sunscreen without any makeup over it."

— Emily (5/5)

Q&A

There is no "straw" attached to the base of the pump on the Liquid Silk Canvas primer (mini size) I purchased. Did I receive a defective product, or is this the intended design?: The mini-size Liquid Silk Canvas uses an airless pump, so a hose is not attached to the nozzle.
I just opened this item to use. The top came off and noticed it was only half full. Is this normal?: Hello! If you need assistance with a tatcha.com order, please kindly email customercare@tatcha.com and a specialist will get back to you shortly.
Which is better for fine lines and matte skin, liquid or satin primer?: If you want a more matte look, we recommend the Liquid Silk Canvas as it helps control shine slightly better than the balm version. We hope this helps.
is this silicone or water based ?: Thank you for asking! The Liquid Silk Canvas is a silk-based formula. We hope this helps.
For at least how many hours will this primer hold after I put in on? Other primers I used only last for 6 hours the have to reapply.: The Silk Canvas will keep makeup in place until you take it off at the end of the day. We hope you'll love this!

Interview with Kiko Mizuhara: Tatcha's Global Ambassador

In this conversation, Tatcha Global Ambassador Kiko Mizuhara opens up about the intersection of skin and mind—how caring for her body has become a way of caring for her emotions, too. She talks candidly about learning to define her own worth after years of seeking it elsewhere, what Japan's contrasts of softness and intensity have taught her about beauty, and what ritual, rest, and self-acceptance look like for her today.

Repair While You Protect: Barrier-Repair Sunscreens Are the Newest Skincare Technology

Sunscreen protects the skin from UV rays, but it is proven to also protect the skin barrier by shielding it from free radicals and preventing dehydration (from repeated sun exposure). However, some modern sunscreen formulas include additional ingredients that can actually repair and strengthen the skin barrier while also shielding from UVA and UVB rays. Look for ingredients that tout their reparative nature, like ectoin, alongside SPF 30+ formulas, to ensure skin is protected while it repairs.

How to Choose the Best Dewy Face Moisturizer

Many moisturizers hydrate, but the right formula can also impart a dewy glow. These options actually work to get the skin naturally glowing over time, which is exactly what Tatcha’s dewy moisturizers accomplish. These formulas are powered by Hadasei-3, a potent and proprietary complex formulated to hydrate, gently resurface, and even make the products applied afterwards work better. Tatcha has many moisturizers, but two specific formulas that embrace dewiness: The Dewy Skin Cream and The Dewy Milk Moisturizer.
