The Essence won a 2020 Allure Best of Beauty Award, and we’re still using it three years later. Allure commerce editor Sarah Han vouched for its effectiveness in her rave review, saying The Essence plumped up her drained, stressed skin. Apart from the standard suspects of moisture-boosting green tea, rice, algae, and glycerin, this product incorporates a secret weapon: yeast. Yeast? Yeast. Its fermentation process naturally produces lactic acid which accelerates skin cell turnover for baby-soft skin.
Tatcha Masks
This limited edition version of Tatcha‘s Kissu Lip Mask is available in a festive jar and hue inspired by the wisteria flower. Treat your cracked lips to this moisture-boosting and line-smoothing treatment spiked with squalane and Japanese peach extract. Also, that little gold applicator spoon is so fun.
You’ll come for the creamy lavender formula and stay for the main brightening advantages. Similar to the Violet-C Serum, the Violet-C Radiance Mask also incorporates Japanese beautyberry, two sorts of vitamin C, and 10 percent AHAs to softly and effectively resurface the skin. Apply a generous layer, take a 15-20 minute TikTok break, and rinse.
Tatcha Moisturizers & Sunscreens
Counting Selena Gomez amongst its fans, the Dewy Skin Cream plumps dry skin with long-lasting hydration via the Hadasei-3 mix and hyaluronic acid. Bonus: it sits beautifully underneath makeup, helping your foundation glide on like a dream.
We think The Water Cream is one in all the best moisturizers for greasy skin on the market. Just ask our readers. The cream won a Readers’ Choice Award in 2022, proving its chops. Our reviewer said the cooling, immediately absorbing formula hydrates without clogging pores and helps control excess oil production. What’s not to love?
Thankfully, the times of gloopy, chalky, makeup-stifling sunscreen are behind us. Instead, we’re lucky to be alive concurrently Tatcha‘s The Silk Sunscreen, an Allure editor-approved mineral SPF. The formula is powered by zinc oxide, two silk proteins (sericin and fibroin), niacinamide, squalane, and hyaluronic acid to guard, moisturize, and prep skin for makeup.
Treat the skinny, delicate skin around your eyes with the utmost respect via The Silk Peony Melting Eye Cream. The cream forms a moisture seal using white peony extract, while silk proteins impart dewiness and blur wonderful lines.
Tatcha Body-Care Treatments
Black Friday 2023 is the right excuse to offer the Hinoki Body Care Trio a whirl. This trio includes the Hinoki Body Wash, Hinoki Body Milk, and Hinoki Body Oil. Together, the products gently cleanse, exfoliate, and lock in moisture. “What stood out to me with this product is that, unlike other body oils in the marketplace, [Hinoki Body Oil] wasn’t greasy or slippery,” senior commerce author Angela Trakoshis wrote in her review. “The oil sat on my skin comfortably and gave a healthy glow to my body.”
