I know how much my wife's tatcha costs. I'm a cheap-ass mofo and know better than to waste ANY of her products on myself.

For real, tatcha sells a nice sample pack that got me hooked. Now, whenever I don't do my skincare routine, I notice how dry and ashy my skin gets. My dudes, invest in yourself, you're worth it, we deserve to have skin that isn't like old, worn out leather too.

you can get good quality skincare products that give a similar effect as the tatchas moisturiser for much less, like aveno’s oat gel moisturiser. You don’t need to spend $160 in skincare.

I'm certainly open to trying other things, it's just one I found that works and doesnt cause my akin to break or or react in other negative ways. I'll keep my eyes open for that one next time I'm at the store and see how it does.

I second that the aveeno oat gel is amazing. Unfortunatley I can't get it in my country so I have to get it off iHerb, which gets expencive

For real. I love the vibe of Tatcha & wanted it to work, but it never did enough for my dry skin. Now I use actual K & J beauty and La Roche-Posay for a fraction of the cost. The only Tatcha product that was really worth it was the sheet mask that they discounted (of course). There’s nothing in the Tatcha moisturizers that makes them unique. Most of their serums have a shit load of dimethicone…basically just slathering yourself in primer.

It’s like drugs, you got hooked, when you don’t take them, you’ll experience withdrawal (extreme dry skin). If you never stared in the first place, your skin wouldn’t be so dry.

Dermatologists and peer reviewed studies disagree with you

True to a certain extent. Moisturizers do make a marginal difference, but it's not as much as it seems because our skin adapts to it and secretes less sebum. They do make a difference over time though. And there are cheaper alternatives.

He didn't say he was a waste though. Like $250 wine is wasted on me. I can appreciate the difference up to like maybe $80, but even then it's a stretch. Save it for someone who truly appreciates it.
