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)

Love this primer

"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)

Kathy B. (5/5)

Linda H. (5/5)

Game changer

"Loved the appearance of my makeup using this."

Jan B. (5/5)

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)

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.sbs order, please kindly email customercare@tatcha.sbs 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!

Dewy Skin Cream Dupe
Dewy Skin Cream Dupe

Dupes have never been more popular, but we believe you get what you pay for. They can be wonderful for some types of products, but with a lack of clinical testing, proven ingredients, and proprietary formulas, we worry skincare dupes aren’t worth the lesser price tag.  Many have tried to dupe Tatcha’s beloved Dewy Skin Cream, but there’s a reason they can never compete with the original: Hadasei-3.  This proprietary formula is the secret to why the moisturizer (and all other Tatcha moisturizers) feel so decadent and hydrating, and why it’s undupable.  If price is the barrier, you have better options than a dupe: Start with the mini, refill instead of repurchasing, and use Subscribe and Save once it earns a permanent place in your routine.

The Best Face Products for Dewy Skin
The Best Face Products for Dewy Skin

Dewy skin is popular for good reason: it appears luminous, hydrated, fresh, and naturally radiant.  Tatcha has spent more than a decade researching and formulating skincare designed to support hydrated, naturally radiant skin. The best products for dewy skin depend on your skin type, preferred texture, and desired benefit. Essences can help prepare and soften skin, serums provide targeted hydration, moisturizers seal in moisture, mists offer an immediate refresh, and face oils add finishing radiance.  You do not need every dewy skincare product to create a luminous finish. Start with a moisturizer suited to your skin type, then add an essence, serum, mist, or face oil based on the level of hydration, texture, and radiance you prefer.

Achieve Dewy Skin With These Hydration & Oil Control Tips
Achieve Dewy Skin With These Hydration & Oil Control Tips

The key to dewy skin is proper exfoliation, oil control, and drenching the skin in multiple layers of hydration-focused skincare. To achieve dewy skin, exfoliate regularly and apply successive layers of hydrating products in the following order: essence, serum, moisturizer, and finally either sunscreen (in the daytime) or facial oil (in the evening).  If your skin tends to get oily, managing excess shine can help maintain a dewy rather than greasy-looking finish. Use oil-absorbing products that manage long-term oil production, then blotting papers to temper oil throughout the day.  Dewy skin can’t be achieved without a healthy lifestyle, though: restful sleep, eating a well-balanced diet, and managing stress not only make your skin more radiant, but also contribute to overall health and well-being.
