"I do love the Tatcha sunscreen right now, the mineral one. Summer Fridays was my holy grail but they reformulated it and I haven't dared to try the new formulation, so I've been going through what I already have, and the Tatcha one really is fabulous. It's really beautiful."

"I like this option because it's not too tinted. It gives your skin kind of a glow, but you can still apply it liberally and apply a nice setting powder and it still looks great. It feels really nice on your skin, lightweight, there's no scent to it. It is on the pricey side, so that's the biggest downside, but this has to be probably one of my favorites for a nice [...] tinted sunscreen, and it's really friendly for sensitive skin as well."

"The Tatcha Silk Sunscreen, it's expensive but they finally repackaged it because the old packaging had issues with flaking off and getting on your hands. This one uses 10% zinc oxide and it's really nice. It's a lovely sunscreen with a little bit of a tint to it, so you can get away with just setting it with powder and going for the day. [...] I do love this and this is probably one of my favorite mineral sunscreens."

"This is probably the most luxurious sunscreen. I really enjoy it. There's no fragrance in it, it's got a really nice silky texture to it. [...] I don't use this daily, more like if it's very hot, very sunny, or I'll be out sweating or swimming. It does have some alcohol in it, so I can use it like two or three days in a row and I'm good, but if I use it four, five, six, seven days or more straight, then my skin starts to get dry at the end of the day."

"So in addition to the zinc oxide, we've got niacinamide, squalane, silk, hydrated silk, cocoa seed and vitamin E. [...] I've repurchased it a ton. It [...] gives you some nice slip, [...] it's nice for dry skin. Although zinc is also one that they use for oil absorbing, so it's interesting, but it's really nice. It feels nice on the skin. If I'm going to be out on a boat for five hours, it's probably not going to be the one I'm going to pick, but it's a nice option."

"I've been using the Tatcha sunscreen. They've updated the packaging for this finally which is good because the current packaging flakes off and then it peels and then you end up with glitter on your face and people complained about it so they finally fixed it. So the formula of their new sunscreen is the same, it's just better packaging. Although this packaging was pretty, I'm more about function. I like pretty but when it's flaking and peeling off I'm more about function or make it affordable."

"That Tatcha sunscreen, both the sunscreens from Tatcha, the Silk one, that's the other one I keep putting in and out of my cart and then I don't buy it and then I think I don't need more stuff but it is a really nice mineral sunscreen and there's not a lot of, there's not a lot of options out there like that."

"The packaging on this one is awful. [...] I love this stuff. It's really on a lot of these recent winter kind of wintry days where it's starting to get cold out, this one is so hydrating. The packaging is just awful. I haven't had my packaging flake as much as other people have but I've been pretty careful, and also if you store it laying slightly down and you open it up it'll spill everywhere."

"I really enjoy it. The packaging's a mess, it falls apart, people use tape over it, but I dig the formula. I love it. It's super lightweight, it's fragrance-free, it's a mineral sunscreen but it applies so transparently and it just feels lightly hydrating so it doesn't really feel like you've got a sunscreen on. It's invisible enough but it gives your skin just a little bit of [...] evening out. Usually when I use this one I just put powder on over it and go with it."

"I absolutely love this stuff. [...] It's now $64, which is a lot of money for sunscreen, especially when you're supposed to be applying it liberally. If you're applying it properly, a bottle like this should probably last you maybe about a month. [...] The Tatcha has a really nice friendly tint that in my opinion will work well for most skin types."

"It's fragrance free. This is probably my third bottle of it. [...] In the winter and things like that when I'm not out for very long and my skin is very dry, this one's a really nice sunscreen. It has a little bit of a tint to it. Leaves skin feeling nice and soft, a radiant finish. Very nice for when your skin is dry. In the summer, it's a bit much in terms of hydration, but in the winter when I'm not out a ton and my skin is dry, this one's pretty nice."

"This is a $64 sunscreen that's finally 50% off for $32, and it's a good price for Tatcha, but I thought long and hard about it and decided not to repurchase this, at least not right now. Genuinely, this is [...] one of the best mineral sunscreens I've ever tried in my life, [...] and it's one of the few that really works on my dry skin because zinc oxide is a mineral filter that's also a drying, astringent ingredient."

"This is the Tatcha original mineral sunscreen in the new packaging. It's genuinely one of the best mineral sunscreens I've ever tried, but I can't use it because the packaging started crumbling and I get it all over my hands every time I apply it. It's a $64 sunscreen, and by the time the problem started I was already past my 30 day return window. I love the formula, but the packaging is inexcusable and I haven't forgiven Tatcha for it."

"Another one is the Tatcha Silk Sunscreen which I'm going to review in a future video. This one has a really flattering tint. A lot of tints are too dark for my skin, but this one is just very lightly tinted and I really like how this goes."

"They say it's sheer. It's not. [...] But as a first step in the morning, I'm really, really enjoying this. Do I think you need to run out and purchase it? No, I think there are better mineral sunscreens. [...] Tatcha's overpriced, usually anyway. It is one of the nicer mineral sunscreens. But unless you're white to this kind of tan, it's not going to be good for you. It's not the best to reapply, but it does feel nice as your first sunscreen application in the day."

"Tatcha has their silk sunscreen SPF 50, it is a weightless mineral sunscreen, and finally they changed the packaging. Their previous packaging was a disaster and it is so much better than their old old one. It is night and day. But it does have hyaluronic acid for those of you who are wondering, and it retails for 64 bucks."

"Tatcha is another one that patients have told me about specifically. They've just repackaged, thank God I hated their old packaging. This is an SPF 50, it's their Silk Sunscreen, and this one retails for $60 and it is zinc oxide based. I'm going to have Tiffany test it out because it really doesn't make any difference for me to show it to you because I am so pale. My patients of darker skin tones have told me specifically about these two."

"It has niacinamide. An Indian patient brought this one to my attention because she is a darker skin tone, Fitzpatrick type four or five, and her husband, and she told me that she was shocked how this particular sunscreen blended. I'm going to put it on my neck to show you, and basically it blends in well. I am quite fair, they are darker in skin tone, and she absolutely loves it. It's worth trying out during the sale if you can get a discount."

"Tatcha has their mineral sunscreen for 40 dollars. It has a slight white cast. If you're a darker skin tone, I would not use this. People love the Tatcha. I hate the packaging. It doesn't make any sense why you would put sunscreen in something like this. But the Tatcha is a great physical sunscreen as well. It has zinc oxide. I have Indian patients who are skin type four or five in the summer and they have used this over the summer, telling me that it did not leave a white cast."

"It looked patchy by the end of the day and crusty by the sides of my nose. It's extremely shiny, and for 60 bucks, it really needs to make my makeup look perfect. The hype I heard was, oh my God, it's like a primer for your makeup, it'll make your makeup go on so perfectly, and for me it just didn't do any of that. It wasn't really wearable on its own; it was too shiny and it didn't do anything for my makeup."

"But the shine I couldn't get past the shine and the greasy feeling. The shine from the sunscreen comes through makeup. Makeup was much more worn off than usual at the end of the day and it looked really shiny and greasy which accentuated my pores and texture. For that price I was like it had better be perfection and [...] it was far from it. I didn't even like it. It wouldn't even make it into my like top 10 sunscreens list. So I would definitely skip the Tatcha."

"If you have a deeper skin tone I think this is going to show up as a very sheer white veil on the skin. It does have niacinamide in it, which a lot of you have issue with. It's sixty dollars for 1.7 ounces. [...] This is not one I would buy myself or go out of my way to repurchase. I definitely would not buy the Tatcha one for the price, [...] I didn't think this was worth it. I would much rather get the EltaMD UV Restore, I think that's a better option."

"Honestly, I don't think the Tatcha Silk Sunscreen is worth the price point. The tint is barely noticeable, and [...] it's not water resistant, so for the price point you'd at least expect to get that for your money. It's not a bad sunscreen, but it's a pass for me, it's not a bad product."
