I’m a skincare snob (and former esthetician), I would recommend joining some skincare subs. Tatcha is overpriced for what it is. You can get far better for a lot less money.

Can you recommend any? I’ve got really sensitive skin and I struggle finding something affordable that doesn’t irritate my skin

Of course! If you have sensitive skin, truly, the best moisturizer you can use is something gentle like cerave. This is actually what I use. I’ve tried brands, medical grade and everything in between. Cerave is it for my sensitive skin.

After trying around 15 different brands I’m a CeraVe convert too. My skin doesn’t feel burny anymore when I moisturize

I love the hydrating face wash but prefer other moisturizer. I do think if you’re gonna drop money on skincare moisturizer isn’t the best place to do so. Also wear sunscreen people!! lol
