Tatcha The Essence
TATCHA’s Essence Plumping Skin Softener is a re-surfacing treatment product designed to make all other topical skincare products work better and with higher efficacy rates.
Formulated for all skin types, including sensitive skin, the treatment is designed to be used after a cleanser and prior to a moisturizer or serum and works as a solution in treating dryness, dullness, sallow, skin, signs of fine lines and wrinkles, and balancing out uneven texture.
This treatment is not only designed to treat signs of anti-aging and increase overall skin health and hydration, it totally smoothens and resurfaces the skin. More than anything, it maximizes the use of all other skincare when used in conjunction!!
After using the product for a period of several weeks, I noticed increased brightening benefits, improvements with the respect to dullness and dehydration, skin was soft and “baby smooth,” and the skin was entirely re-texturized.
Additionally, the product is formulated only using clean ingredients, is cruelty- free, and is completely devoid of any harmful parabans, sulfates, additives, or harsh chemicals.
I would highly recommend this product to anyone seeking a perfect go to daily essence to be used in between a serum or moisturizer and after a cleanser- not only is it anti-aging treatment, it provides a multitude of suitable benefits such as brightening, Hydrating, re-texturing, and helping all other products be absorbed more easily!!!
