Reviews
Best tonic created
"I've always had larger noticeable pores which I've always hated so when I heard about this I couldn't have purchased it fast enough. It has already done wonders in a month and a half. My face appears now clear and glowing because of the reduced size in my pores. This is a must in your collection. I have now become a tatchaholic and I LOVE IT"
The perfect toner
"I have been using this for years, with no plan to change. I still get compliments on my skin at 64, and have had glass skin way before it was trendy. I owe it mostly to this product. I believe it sets the canvas for everything to follow whether it’s makeup by day or serums by night, it’s the perfect start to the rest. A must have in a routine. Looks lovely on my counter, and inspired my bathroom remodel."
R. N. Tweety
"I live this product! In can definitely see the texture of my skin changing. Looks smoother. This is a staple in my daily routine. I’m only using in the morning when I don’t exfoliate. I don’t want to strip my skin by using both. Love it! 😍"
Great toner
"I love that it doesn't over dry my skin. It helps my pimples and pores. Leaving my skin with a smoother texture."
Amazing!
"Love the way this makes my skin feel."
I like it!
"Just started using. Like the texture and smell. Hope results will be good."
Really works!
"Evened out my skin tone! My skin looks smoother, less oily & it also minimized my pores. I don’t typically write reviews let alone rave about a product but this REALLY WORKS! I wish it weren’t so pricey but I’ve wasted tons more on products that didn’t work!"
It is a good toner
"It is a good toner which actually does aids with the refining of pores when in combination with other tatcha products. I truly love your products in General. I was going through Chemo and your water crème helped keep my skin hydrated combined with the tonic and your sun protector. I did not have an allergy reaction, your products felt clean. Please do not change your formulas."
Can't go without this
"This helps my pores shrink and keeps my t-zone oil completely under control. I mostly use it on my t zone, but it doesnt dry me out if I use it on my cheeks. If I break out I rub this on the pimple with a cutip at night, and overnight the pimple either completely disappears or is greatly reduced in appearance. Before using this product I used to break out regularly now I only get a pimple every now and then. I can't go without this product."

- Can this be used alongside retinal? I use retinal in my nightly routine, 6 nights ago week. Could I add this to my morning routine safely, or is it too much exfoliation?

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.
