It gives my skin the most beautiful healthy glow while still feeling breathable and comfortable throughout It makes my skin look fresh, radiant, and well hydrated. The formula feels luxurious, soothing, and perfect for everyday wear. Definitely the best sunscreens I’ve tried and a product I truly enjoy using every single day! 💜"

Excellent Sunscreen!!!

"I bought this two days ago and put it on after my skincare routine and it is amazing! It really leaves your skin feeling silky and soft. I was in the sun all day today and no redness or sunburn. NO greasy residue at all. And yes I have oily/combination skin. I am truly impressed! Absolutely amazing product!!! All Tatcha’s products are incredible! Thanks Tatcha!"

LSB (5/5)

The perfect sunscreen!

"I’m 42, and after decades of loving the sun a little too much, I’ve started noticing more fine lines and sunspots. Finding a sunscreen that doesn’t feel heavy has been a challenge. This one has been such a pleasant surprise — it’s lightweight but offers solid protection. I’ve worn it under makeup on work days, bare-faced. gifted by tatcha"

Stephanie (5/5)

My New Favorite Everyday Sunscreen

"Gifted by tatcha I’ve been using the Tatcha Milky SPF for about 3 days now and I’m really loving it so far. The texture is very lightweight and it blends into my skin easily without leaving any white cast, which is something I always look for in a sunscreen. It feels comfortable on my skin and layers well with the rest of my routine. So far I haven’t experienced any breakouts, which is a big plus for my skin. It also gives my skin a nice natural finish. Definitely one of the best sunscreens I’ve tried recently."

Not good for sensitive skin

"Love, love, love Tatcha products and have only used Tatcha for my skincare for last seven years. However, had to wash off this sunscreen off within two hours due to itching and stinging. My face was raw for 2 days. I use the pore perfecting spf with great success-wish you would offer higher spf in that formulation."

Sarah (1/5)

Milky and smooth

"I received this Tatcha Milky SPF From Tatcha to sample for my honest opinion. This product is extremely cert different . I was definitely shocked when I put into onto my skin. When they say milky it literally has a milky texture. I love the texture it blended so well. It’s got a nice creamy feel and instantly hydrated my skin. I felt SPF protected and my skin felt amazing. Gifted by tatcha"

Amanda (5/5)

The best sunscreen!

"I have not tried a sunscreen that feels non greasy but so hydrating at the same time like this one! I love Tatcha’s sunscreen because the milky formula feels like a serum and it doesn’t clog my pores! It also doesn’t leave a white cast! I’m so impressed, definitely my new favorite sunscreen for all year! I would also like to add that this was a complimentary from tatcha but my review is still 100 percent honest!"

Alejandra (5/5)

Lightweight SPF That Feels Like Skincare

"This sunscreen is incredibly lightweight and blends into the skin effortlessly. The milky texture absorbs quickly and leaves my skin feeling hydrated and comfortable without any white cast. I love that it layers well under makeup and does not pill when combined with other skincare. It feels more like a hydrating essence than a traditional sunscreen and makes daily SPF application really easy. gifted by tatcha"

Must have

"I’ve been loving the Tatcha The Milky Sunscreen SPF 50 lately. The texture is super lightweight and milky, so it absorbs quickly without feeling greasy or heavy on my skin. It gives a natural hydrated finish and layers beautifully under makeup. Plus, the SPF 50 + PA++++ protection helps shield skin from both UVB and UVA rays while still feeling like skincare. Perfect for everyday wear. "gifted by Tatcha" complimentary from Tatcha"

The Best Lightweight Sunscreen for Your Face
The Best Lightweight Sunscreen for Your Face

Sunscreen used to be considered thick, pore-clogging, and opaque white — but today’s iterations are impressively different. Modern sunscreen is lightweight, nearly invisible, and can actually improve the look and feel of skin. A lightweight feel is not only sensorially important, but it also helps to make the experience of wearing it more enjoyable, while encouraging you to use it daily. It’s a pleasure to use, rather than a chore.

Oily vs. Glowy Skin: How to Tell The Difference (And Get the Glow)

While oily skin and glowy skin can seem similar, they are distinctively different. Oily skin is from an overproduction of sebum from the sebaceous glands, while glowing skin gives off a natural radiance from a balanced, hydrated, and healthy skin barrier. There’s nothing wrong with oily skin, and, with a few specific products, you can take excessive oiliness and transform it into glowing, dewy skin. Utilize balancing cleansers, lightweight moisturizers, and oil-absorbing primers to help look more glowy than oily.

4 Transformative Benefits of Using the Best Face Essence

An ancient staple in Japan, essences are finally gaining popularity in the US. An essence is a watery liquid infused with skin-benefiting active ingredients that can hydrate, brighten, firm, and more. An essence is pressed into the skin after cleansing and before serums and moisturizers, and is designed for daily use. Some of the best essences for the face have dramatic benefits, including hydrating, plumping, reducing the appearance of wrinkles (as effectively as a retinol), and making the rest of your skincare products work better.
