Reviews

Disappointed

"I really liked how it felt when I applied the mask. My skin did not feel dry afterwards which I liked. However, my face broke out where I did use it. I am not sure why but there was something that my skin had a reaction too. I would definitely recommend to others unless you have very sensitive skin."

Kristen D. (1/5)

Clay mask

Erica J. (5/5)

Love the Clarifying mask

Yolanda O. (5/5)

"Absolutely so excited for this product! It works so well! Very fast shipping!!"

Amy (5/5)

Great Mask

"Since I’ve started using this mask one a week, my face has been much clearer."

Elizabeth P. (5/5)

Love it

"I've been using this for a couple of years now, and I love it. It smells amazing, it really gives me the self-care that my face needs. its not too rough on the skin."

Olmiche V. (5/5)

Not worth the money!

"So glad I bought the mini version. Folks, this is a regular clay mask with pretty packaging. I don't understand all the hype. Not worth the money, trust me!"

JB (1/5)

The face mask I’ve always wanted

"So incredibly happy with this mask. I love the clarifying clay mask! You can literally see a difference after just the first time using the mask. It’s not a “use for a few weeks and it starts to get better kind of product” you get results after rinsing! My face feels firm, clean, cool and I love that my pores are smaller. I finally have switched all of my facial care to strictly Tatcha and absolutely love it."

Roci (5/5)

Did not work for me, too oily

"Does not do anything for me. I have combination skin and I followed the instructions and it didn’t do anything. Upon applying it on my skin it was very oily. It wouldn’t dry nor do what it says. Every time I washed it off my skin was left too oily. The next day it would make me breakout. Tried it a few times, same results. I love Tatcha products, so far all of them have worked amazing, except this one. Returning it unfortunately."

Brenda (1/5)

A great mask

"I love the warming feeling that you get from the mask."

Q&A

The mask does not change color for me - it remains a safe green, even when left on for the full 5 minutes. Am I doing something wrong?
Hello! You will need to massage a thin layer of the mask over the skin avoiding the eye area. After massaging it into the skin, you will notice it warms up and turns color slightly. We hope this helps.
Can I use this after using a chemical exfoliant?
Hello! We would recommend using this on days you do not use your chemical exfoliator. This will ensure your skin stays calm and soothed.
Why didn't my mask turn red?
The mask will turn into a soft red/pink once it is applied to your skin.
I know we use this after we cleanse, but Do I use this before my Essence or after?
Thanks for your question! You can apply The Essence before your mask. After rinsing the mask off, reapply the Essence before your serum and moisturizer also. We hope this helps.
Do I use it with damp or dry skin?
The Clay Mask can be used on dry skin after you cleanse it.

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.
