I knew Tatcha wouldn’t disappoint me on this one.
The Tatcha Indigo Overnight Repair Serum in Cream Treatment had been on my wishlist for months since its launch last year. I only took the $88 plunge because my skin had been through the ringer thanks to a bout of breakouts and I was curious if this would help. My attempts to combat the unusually severe flareup only exacerbated my already dry skin, leaving it in a vulnerable state.
This cream is recommended for sensitive, dry to mature skin with uneven texture, fine lines and wrinkles. I check all those boxes except the sensitivity. My skin is reactive, not sensitive.
After my at-home facial treatments (manual/chemical exfoliation, dermablading/shaving or microneedling) my skin needs something to calm it down a bit and ensure the moisture barrier is protected.
Note: This 50 mL glass jar comes with a little gold scoop that’s magnetized to stick to the top of the lid. I love thst!
👃🏻Scent?
Fragrance free with no discernible scent.
💧Texture?
Buttery smooth and rich cream that glides on the skin effortlessly, absorbing quickly. A little goes a long way.
📝Ingredients?
* Mondo grass root to balance the skin’s microbiome (that’s the skin’s good bacteria, its natural defense barrier).
* Ceramides to restore the skin’s moisture barrier, which helps with dry patches as well as fine lines and wrinkles.
* Japanese indigo extract to soothe irritated skin.
🤔Thoughts?
This cream did as it promised. It got my skin in tip top shape with just a week of daily use. I then cut back to 2x/week after at-home treatments. It’s come in handy, too, in combating occasional dry patches that pop up because of my prescription tretinoin.
So many uses! It’s a true warrior for your skincare arsenal.
I have nothing bad at all to say about the product itself. I took off one star for the price. The packaging is luxe, for sure, and the product is amazing. Still, I think it’s overpriced. There are other products for less money that accomplish similar results: For example, the Ren Evercalm Ultra Comforting Rescue Mask can be left on like a cream and is $50 for 50mL (same size as the Tatcha).
