I have tried SEVERAL cleansers that claim to cleanse your skin without drying them out and not all of them have worked that way for me. I will say that this is a more expensive option, but I very much enjoy the cleansing experience it gives, which is...

ONETHING was one of my first gifted collabs since starting TikTok in 2024 and I’m SO HAPPY they sent me this toner. My skin can thankfully handle lots of niacinamide so when I use this twice a day with the serum, I find I have waaaaay less whiteheads...

Bright skin in a bottle ✨ This lightweight serum pairs niacinamide and glutathione to target dullness, uneven tone, and texture all at once. I love that it absorbs quickly without pilling, so it layers perfectly with literally everything. It gives th...

I wish the brand sent me a 1028472 pack of these or something… 😆 It’s soaked in a niacinamide + glutathione essence that leaves my skin super smooth and plump — no tackiness afterward. Pop it in the fridge for a cooling, depuffing moment.

I was hesitant to share this because it’s $90 CAD and that’s just crazy but it’s such a beautiful moisturizer. It has some ingredients in it that make it ideal for oily skin and of course it has that iconic Tatcha scent. I did buy a mini to test it o...

As a lover of the OG Water Drench, I was stoked to hear they were expanding the range. I didn’t see anything wrong with the OG as an oily, acne-prone girlie but for those with dry skin it may not be enough. Not only did they make a richer moisturizer...

Price: $$$$ Sometimes I have super boujee products that I buy (while crying) then actually end up loving (but I’m still crying). The Water Cream is the lightest of the Tatcha moisturizers IMO and as you massage it in, it just breaks down into what f...

Sunscreen

This sunscreen is a glow-booster and protector in one — it brightens while it shields. The niacinamide helps with tone correction, and glutathione adds antioxidant defense. What I love most? It doesn’t leave a white cast and sits beautifully on the s...
