Reviews

This is my holly grail for my hyperpigmentation

"Hyperpigmentation has always been something I’ve struggled with. I’m naturally very fair-skinned, and even though I’m consistent with SPF 50, pigmentation and dark spots are still something I deal with. And this Tatcha Brightening Serum is a real game changer for me, it really helps, especially during the summer months, when pigmentation can become even more noticeable. I’ve really been loving how much brighter and more even my skin looks."

— Pavli (5/5)

Fabulous

"I have used Tatcha for years so decided to try this serum as a new addition to my morning routine. My skin is definitely brighter from using and it drys quickly into the skin and then layers beautifully with my next products. Doesn’t cause any pilling and makeup applies well on top. Also got the matching eye cream but finished. Another fabulous product for everyday and really happy with my results so far."

— Catherine G. (5/5)

The Brightening Serum

"Whilst I don’t use this product on a daily basis when I do my skin feels and looks amazing. It is not an oily serum and gently folds into the skin leaving it looking bright and clear."

— Deborah N. (5/5)

Very pleased.

"I had my first bottle in the space nk advent calendar last year and I’ve really noticed a difference in my skins texture, it’s a nice light formula too. I’ve just bought my second bottle."

— Zoe S. (5/5)

The best vitamin C serum I have ever tried

"I’ve been absolutely loving this serum. My skin has looked so much brighter and more radiant since I started using it, and it gives me that healthy glow without feeling heavy or greasy. I’ve also noticed that some of my pigmentation marks have started to fade, and my overall skin tone looks much more even. It absorbs really quickly and layers beautifully with the rest of my skincare and makeup. It’s definitely become one of those products I look forward to using every day. A bit of a splurge, but honestly worth it for the results."
