Reviews

Excellent product

"I love everything I have tried from Tatcha. I especially appreciate that the entire line works well together. Easy to layer with no build up. I have been using Tatcha for 1 yrs now. I always considered myself to have great skin but at 48yrs old I needed extra help. I am now 49 and have seen a significant improvement on the overall health of my skin."

— Suheil L. (5/5)

Best Serum

"I love this Serum. This by far is my favorite and find myself always going back to this one. I love trying all the new serums but this one never fails!"

— Mary C. (5/5)

Love this serum!

"I now own the entire silk collection (except my neck cream which is anti aging). . . and I see a huge difference in the plumpness of my skin as well as less noticeable wrinkles! I had no idea how dry my skin was before using Tatcha products. They might seem expensive but because they last for months, it's a worthwhile investment. I'm hooked! Fyi, this serum goes on light but really makes a difference!!"

— Lisa W. (5/5)

Feels like Silk!

"Tatcha products feel so luxurious! This silk serum makes my skin feel soft and it’s the perfect step before I apply the silk moisturizer. The scent is also lovely!"

— Peggy O. (5/5)

Love the Product

"My skin is improving since using this product in a month."

Feels silky on your face

"Feels silky on your face fast to absorb"

— Mary R. (5/5)

The most precious formula I’ve ever used on my skin.

"I only need a few drops so a little goes a long way. It adds hydration that actually absorbs into my skin. It has made a difference. I use it before my Longevity Serum then the Water Creme. They are amazing products that absorb into the skin without feeling like I’m wearing layers of product. I’m amazed at how they are able to formulate skincare that improves the appearance of my skin without feeling like I’m wearing a mask. I love Tatcha and even bought the Essence for my sister as a gift. She has even more sensitive skin than I do. She said it really helps calm her dry skin."

— D. W. (5/5)

Big Fan

"Was pleasantly surprised. as i have very sensitive skin and this does not create any irritation but does absorb easily and makes skin feel smoother and less dull."

— Diane S. (4/5)

A noticeable difference.

"This I my fifth or sixth purchase of The Silk Serum. I like how my skin looks while using it and notice a difference when I run out. It gives a bit of a glow which my mature skin loves and seems to help with dry, dull appearance that can creep in when not using the serum."

— Tina S. (5/5)

"4 stars because with an over $700 order I expected some samples. My last order was much less and samples were included"

Q&A

Can this be used during pregnancy?
Thank you for your interest! The Silk Serum does not contain any Vitamin A derivatives which are commonly advised against for those that are expecting or nursing. If you have any personal sensitivities or concerns, it is always a good idea to consult with your doctor.
Owning both the brightening serum & the silk serum, do you recommend using both in the am and pm, or would you get better results using them separately, such as the brightening in the am and the silk in the pm?
Hi there! We would recommend using one for day and one for night. The order is not important and you can choose whatever works best for you personally.
can this be layered with the brightening serum? if yes which goes first?
You can layer both serums if you wish. We recommend applying The Brightening Serum first and then The Silk Serum.
Can the silk serum be used under the eye
The Silk Serum treatment can be used under the eye. Please patch test a small amount before a full application if you historically have sensitivity in that area.
When to apply silk serum
The Silk Serum is applied before a moisturizer.

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
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.
