Best cleanser that I have tried
"I am new to the skincare having a skin view review, and had investigated different brands on lie. But I spoke to vey knowledgeable your land in Sephora and she recommended Tatcha Rice Wash give my skin type. I honest would never you anything on my face from now on. The product feel nice as you work it into a lather on you face. And when you wash it off you are left with glowing clean skin that feel soft . It has become part of my daily and night routine. I have even invested money in purchasing 2 mini night creams, the lip balm, the Brighton eye cream and the serum, all have which since been incorporate in to by skincare routine. Thanks Tacha , keep up the amazing work !"

Soft, Gentle, and Surprisingly Luxe
"The Rice Wash Soft Cream Cleanser has quickly become one of those products I genuinely look forward to using. It has the loveliest soft cream texture that feels calming and luxurious on the skin, while still cleansing properly without leaving my face feeling stripped or tight afterwards. My skin feels clean, smooth, and comfortable every time I use it, and it gives that fresh, healthy feel without over-drying. It’s gentle enough for everyday use but still leaves your skin feeling refreshed and cared for. Such a beautiful cleanser if you love skincare that feels effective but also really comforting on the skin."

I’m not surprised this is a bestseller! 😀
"I’m not surprised this is a bestseller — the Tatcha Rice Wash really lives up to the hype. It gently cleanses and lightly exfoliates without drying out the skin. My skin feels soft, smooth, and balanced after every use. It also has a subtle, clean scent and a luxurious feel. A bit pricey, but worth it for a daily cleanser."
