Reviews

Excellent product!

"I’m on my way home from a week at the beach where I used this sunscreen every day and I can truthfully say it’s the best I’ve ever used on my oily breakout prone 66 year old skin!! It’s very lightweight, absorbs easily and is invisible on my skin, and best of all not a single clogged pore or breakout! I bought the travel size but I’m ordering a full size when I get home😀👍"

Donna (5/5)

I had high hopes for this. . . .

"I really wanted this sunscreen to be my Holy Grail because I love so many of Tatcha's products. I'm not ever sure I can finish the tube I have. I found it greasy and the smell was very unappealing. It was the typical of sunscreen and did not dissipate over time. It also wandered into my eyes and stung. Three strikes and it's out for me."

Susan B. (1/5)

PERFECTION!!!!

"I’m genuinely obsessed with The Milky Sunscreen by Tatcha! ✨ This sunscreen feels incredibly lightweight and hydrating on my skin without leaving any white cast or greasy feeling. It gives my skin the most beautiful healthy glow while still feeling breathable and comfortable throughout It makes my skin look fresh, radiant, and well hydrated. The formula feels luxurious, soothing, and perfect for everyday wear. Definitely the best sunscreens I’ve tried and a product I truly enjoy using every single day! 💜"

Marie (5/5)

Much potential, much more disappointment

"Save your money, nothing special and has the dreaded “sunscreen smell. ” I really, really tried to make myself like this product. Don’t force yourself. Much better alternatives available in both price and quality."

Katherine T. (1/5)

Simona (5/5)

Excellent Sunscreen!!!

"I bought this two days ago and put it on after my skincare routine and it is amazing! It really leaves your skin feeling silky and soft. I was in the sun all day today and no redness or sunburn. NO greasy residue at all. And yes I have oily/combination skin. I am truly impressed! Absolutely amazing product!!! All Tatcha’s products are incredible! Thanks Tatcha!"

LSB (5/5)

Great sunscreen

"I bought the travel sized Milky Sunscreen to try it out. So far, it seems very good. I love the smooth texture of it and it doesn't have the usual sunscreen smell to it, which I like."

Erika C. (5/5)

"Love it! Very moisturizing and provides a healthy glow."

Iliana (5/5)

The Best Foaming Facial Cleanser
The Best Foaming Facial Cleanser

Foaming cleansers can be effective for all, but the secret to using them correctly is discovering a formula that is ideal for your skin type. A creamy foaming cleanser, which imparts a soft hydration onto the skin as cleansing, is more ideal for dry skin, while a refreshing foaming cleanser that includes oil-balancing ingredients is more ideal for combination and oily skin tones. Some formulas work by allowing the dense bubbles to grasp onto debris, sebum, and makeup, washing away in a single step. While other formulas might need an oil cleanser first to break down these trickier long-lasting ingredients.
