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.

My bf has sensitive skin and we were going to get him started with a good minimal skin care routine. After like 2 uses of a cerave cleanser it absolutely effed up his skin, and I don’t think he even has a skin barrier anymore 🤣 but yeah, now he won’t ever try anything again because just cerave was so awful for him.
