  • Gives instant dewy glow

  • Works over makeup

What they flagged

  • Foody, curry-powder scent with added fragrance
  • Too shiny for some

What the gurus are saying

This mist earns strong praise for its creamy texture and hydrating punch, with gurus finding it delivers a noticeable glow even over makeup. However, the heavy fragrance and steep price tag are genuine sticking points for some, and a few felt it did not justify the cost relative to simpler alternatives. Those with dehydrated skin or looking for a radiance boost may find it worth trying, though patch-testing first is wise given the scent load.

"I also like The Hourglass powder but for today I'm going to do the Tatcha one. [...] The powder is [...] translucent, radiant translucent. [...] It did take the radiance right out that sunscreen which is good, but it was a little too shiny for me even for me."

"For those that I don't love I'm gonna irritate the heck out of your skin with a tatcha texture tonic this is very scented very strongly scented with a lot of different fruit a lot of different fragrances um and to be honest in terms of exfoliation and smoothing it just doesn't even touch the geek and gorgeous at all"

"The winner for most disappointed product, and they're a winner yet a loser at the same time, kind of ironic, is the Tatcha Silk Serum. You know what, at least the other products would set you back a hundred bucks."
Yay
"I love to apply the toner tatcha Essence is great for my skin on days that I feel like I'm more oily and I don't want a ton of hydration but I do want something almost like a to prime the skin to absorb the subsequent steps a little bit better it's super lightweight it absorbs really really fast and it really preps my skin for next step. Now this tatcha Essence contains and I'm going to butcher this probably 100% hadashi 3 this is a trie of fermented Japanese superfoods that help hydrate resurface soften and plump the skin I find it pretty hydrating it does plump just a little bit I love to apply really close to my eyes it absorbs really quick allowing the next product that going pretty fast some of the key ingredients are things like aita rice which serves as a base of this ferment ainaa algae I might have mispronounced that but this replenishes the skin Berry and retains the moisture and a green tea which is really rich in antioxidants."
Yay

"Tatcha is pretty basic. If you're feeling bougie, if you want a gift, if you want to try something out, definitely get it for yourself, but don't look at these brands as truly, truly amazing."

Luxury makeup that is worth your money
"This is literally like a hydrating spray for your face but I use it sometimes on top of makeup because I just feel it gives me this amazing amazing glow. This is a high-end product but like I said benefit right, you can use it as a part of skin care, you can use it as your makeup mist and I absolutely love it, highly highly recommend."
Yay
"It smells a little bit foody, kind of like curry powder mixed with a floral scent, and it's got added fragrance which I'm a bit confused about. But it feels very light and refreshing and gives me a nice dewy glow straight away. I like that a lot for an instant kind of dewy fix. It's pricey but that's expected from Tatcha. For an instant dewy fix I'd use this in the morning under my other products and I can see it looking nice over makeup. I actually quite like this."
Yay
"Tonight I'm using the essence from Tatcha. This has a few different fermented ingredients that have been shown to hydrate, plump, and sort of soften the skin. When I do use an essence, it's pretty nice. I almost never use an essence in my personal routine just because I like to keep things as streamlined as possible, but when I do use an essence, it's pretty nice."

"I've been loving and living for some of these skincare mists recently, and the Tatcha one might have to be on my list. It is vegan and cruelty free, and a lot of Tatcha products are super overpriced, especially when I look at this it's like why are we spending so much money on this. So many people love them and I don't know if it's because they look like a fairy tale book or if there is something amazing about the formulation. This spray has glycerin, squalane, licorice, and rice, which are good hydrating ingredients but not gonna cure anything. There are fragrances and alcohols in here which I don't always love to see in skincare sprays. But she looks gorgeous when she's spraying it, so if she loves it continue using it, but know that there are other options if you want to save money."

"Everyone is obsessed with this. I don't think it's worth the hype. Maybe I need to go try it again, maybe I need to give it a second 2.0, but I did not find it to be revolutionary. It's very expensive for what it is. The ingredients aren't horrible, they're just not great."
Reacting To Selena Gomez's Lupus Toothpaste Skincare Routine
"I actually don't hate this product, but I find that a lot of Tatcha products tend to be a little bit overpriced for my liking. That said, this is definitely expensive but if you have Selena Gomez money you could probably afford it. It claims to deliver smoother, plumper skin based on these ingredients. Looking at the formula, the first ingredient is not water but saccharomyces, which is a fermented filtrate and does cost money. The product has glycerin, squalane, hydrolyzed collagen, and hydrolyzed elastin. While collagen topically doesn't magically make more collagen in your skin, it is a really good moisturizer that can hold on to water and help hydrate and smooth the skin. The hydrolyzed elastin is even better because there has been some scientific literature showing it penetrating deeper. So it is expensive, and that's probably what's contributing to the price."
Esthe Reacts to Zoe Kravitz's Crevices 😏
"Tatcha, so many people love Tatcha, I get that they're basically the line of skincare everybody loves them, I get that it can be fun for some people but for me and my lifestyle it's just not worth the hype. The ingredients in here aren't horrible, I feel like they're a little bit overpriced for what they are. There are less expensive options. I've seen a lot of people use this stuff and because of how they fly out beauty editors to their little farms in France and wine and dine them, they get put in a lot of magazines and their products get shoved on the internet and people take out credit card debt or use the pay later option because they feel that they need this. But in reality you could get much better toners, much better essences, and much better sprays for a fraction of the cost."
Yay
"The cleanser that I really like that's a foam cleanser and this one's also good for people who are on the oilier side is the Tatcha Purifying Foaming Cleanser. If you live in a hot humid climate, if you have oilier skin, I love this guy. It has a gel-like consistency and it does have some ceramides in it so it's going to keep your face nice and supple and it's not going to over-strip your skin. The pH is around 5.5 which is ideal, it's going to keep your skin's balance in harmony."

"Tatcha Dewy Skin Mist is probably like the most popular one. I feel like the most iconic one. It is super hydrating. So, if you're like really dry and you need to like rehydrate throughout the day, that's a great thing. Like, just buy the mini one, keep it in your bag, and just a quick mist to just sort of like bring the skin back to life. That's a great supplement. If you are doing all the other steps and they're not necessarily doing everything that you need or maybe you just feel like you're missing a little, your skin is missing a little bit of life like halfway through the day and you need a little pickme up."

Grab a snack friends, I have SO many skin & hair care empties!
"This is a slightly more creamy sort of formula when it comes to a mist. [...] I really liked it a lot, and I don't even know necessarily why. It contains alatan, [...] probiotics, triamide complex, maybe ceramides, I don't know, but it was very creamy. [...] I had been going through this long period of healing my dehydrated skin and this really really helped. [...] In terms of the packaging, [...] I felt like it lasted long enough. It was just a mist so I felt like it had a decent shelf life which was nice. [...] I just absolutely loved the formula. I just thought it did so much for my skin and I miss it now. I'm using one from Cosrx which is just like centella and [...] it's just not doing enough, it's not doing enough. So I actually [...] think I'm going to pick another one of these up."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
