Reviews

Amazing Results

"I was recommended this by Neelam in the Selfridges branch for my daughter with acne. We have tried so many different products for her but nothing seemed to help. Within two days of using this, we saw such a visible improvement, she can't believe the result. Neelam herself was extremely kind and helpful, and I was very pleased with her service."

"The best product I ever tried"

Irvana N. (5/5)

"I love this it melts my makeup. Honestly i nwarly have every tatcha product they all work wonders."

Mahriah (5/5)

It even removes tinted eyelashes and brows.

"Not my favourite product from Tatcha. If you rely on this cleanser alone and don’t remove mascara beforehand, you’ll have to rub for quite a while to wash off the colour completely, and it still leaves dark traces around the eyes. Even after pre-cleansing, it gives the effect of darkened eyes. On top of that, within just two days it stripped away the tint from my lashes and brows, which was supposed to last at least a couple of weeks. As for cleansing the whole face, for my problematic skin with uneven tone, enlarged pores and blackheads, this isn’t the best option. It doesn’t give me freshness, an even skin tone, or any noticeable benefits."
