Lovely texture
"Great silky texture however the packaging for Tatcha is definitely poor on this mini compared to all the other products I’ve tried."

Reviews
Really not for me
"I was really excited to buy this because of all the hype. I love a silky, no-white-cast sunscreen, so despite the price, I ordered it from Space NK online on 10 July. I have to admit I really don’t like it. I honestly don’t see the “silk” element that is being marketed — to me, it just feels like a tinted milky texture. The most frustrating part is that it doesn’t spread well at all. It’s true that it doesn’t leave a white cast, but when I apply it, the formula starts to pill on my skin, creating small flakes or particles as I rub it in. I don’t think this is due to my skin, as I’ve recently had Hydrafacials and exfoliation treatments. Unfortunately, I don’t think I can return it now that I’ve used some of it, so I’m just hoping to finish it quickly so it doesn’t feel like a complete waste of money. Maybe I should have tried their milky version instead, but this one was definitely not for me so I don't recommend it."
