Reviews

wanted to love it but pills!

"I'm so dissapointed this sunscreen pills on my face! it is otherwise a very nice weight and texture. I know if you use too much of this primer it eill pill so i only used the minimal amount to cover my skin. I tried eliminating each of the very light layers I use under this, azelaic acid serum and vitamin c, but it did not work. They also do not make my other sunblock or mineral sunblock pill. I was hoping this would be more like the Silk Canvas Primer but I'm very sad it's not and i really can't use it."

Silk Sunscreen

"I ordered the small size of this, forgetting I had bought the larger size previously. Even though I tend to have drier skin, this was a bit too heavy for me in Hawaii’s humidity. I actually wanted to try the Milky sunscreen in the small size instead so maybe will order that in the future. I was also disappointed that I didn’t receive any samples with my order from Tatcha’s website, even though it says they provide samples. Maybe I didn’t spend enough?"

— Allison L. (4/5)

Silky Protection? Love it!

"What a treat! It makes daily sunscreen a pleasure instead of a chore. It goes on a smooth and glides as it absorbs. The bonus is that it provides a mildly blurring/diffusing which is nice in the morning!"

— Denise B. (5/5)

"The best tinted moisturizer with SPF."

— Chenin (5/5)

Love it!

"My favorite of the SPF choices."

— Sheryl I. (5/5)

Very nice sunscreen

"Tatcha sunscreen is so good! It’s lightweight with no white cast. It’s expensive. Not sure if I’d buy it again although I love it."

— Antonia V. (5/5)

Does the job, could be a little more light weight IMO

"I was excited to try this SPF since I love pretty much every Tatcha product I have tried. It is light, non-greasy, and not aromatic. It is neutral in color (warm beige-y) and therefore does not leave a white cast. I do feel I have to use a little more product than expected to cover the whole face, and it could be a little more lightweight in my opinion, which is why I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5. I’m still happy with the product but may consider even lighter feeling alternatives when I need more."

— Dana W. (4/5)

Sensitive

"My face became sensitive to it and red spots and tiny red pimples appeared on my face."

— Tahmineh N. (2/5)

"This is my favorite sunscreen for days when I'm going to get a ton of sun. So lightweight and doesn't make my skin feel greasy. Had to get a travel size for my purse."

— Emily (5/5)

Q&A

Is the sunscreen reef safe?: The Silk Sunscreen SPF 50 is considered reef-safe because it is formulated with zinc oxide.
How long does the full size bottle last with daily use?: All full size Tatcha products should last 2-3 months with daily use, however, that will depend on how much one applies.
Does this sunscreen contain silicone or oil? My foundation pills over it.: The Silk Sunscreen is formulated with Silica and is not considered to be oil-free.
Hi, I would like to check the level of protection that the Silk Sunscreen offers against UVA.  I bought a bottle which just says it has UVA protection (it's just has the words UVA circled), but not how much. I did some research online and saw that there is another version where the bottle says it is PA++++ protection. Can I check if my version would also have PA++++ protection? I bought it from Sephora so it's definitely a genuine product.: Thank you for reaching out. The Silk Sunscreen offers an SPF 50 PA ++++ protection. If you have any more questions, please forward them to customercare@tatcha.com and a specialist will be happy to assist.
Do you apply your base makeup "after" you apply the sunscreen?: Thank you for your question. Yes, you apply your makeup after your sunscreen. We hope this helps.

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.
