Tried others and am still coming back to TATCHA!
LOVE. Literally won’t buy anything else ever again. I fell in love with the product but didn’t love the price/value. (Expensive for the volume). So I tried 3 other vitamin c serums that were considered ‘similar’ and they didn’t even compare! I find that when I wear the tatcha my skin visibly brightens. I can’t explain it but with the others it was meh. So I would say this product is 10000% worth the money and I only needed minimal product/ volume for the effects. The cheaper alternatives I was blowing through the product just trying to get a good result. Going back to tatcha vitamin c serum!!!

I love Tatcha however...
I am a Tatcha girly, I love their purple line and green line, however this product did not deliver, I saw no changes in my skin. I would not purchase again.

Not worth the hype or price.
I honestly used to like its formulation before they changed it into this new deplorable version. It is more expensive and absolutely non-effective post its reformulation. Purchasing this new formulation was a mistake and I have now shifted to serums from Glow and Clinique. dhifted

Over priced.
Honestly. Over priced. I went through an entire bottle using it regularly saw no difference.... I have ised other vitamin c products like the one from drunk elephant and I liked that one and noticed improvements in my skin. IMO not worth the price.

Okay
I’ve finished my bottle and can’t say that I’ve had a noticeable change. This form of vitamin c is great for sensitive skin and its shelf stable. However, it will probably take longer to notice results. It’s too expensive for me to give it another try. I will probably graduate to the pure L-ascorbic acid.

A great vitamin C serum--you may need to use for at least several weeks to a month before you start to see results, but I can definitely say this has helped brighten my dark spots and fade my acne scars a lot. Absorbs quickly and feels great on the skin, and although the smell is a little weird, it doesn't bother me that much. I do find it a bit drying, so I always pair with hydrating serums and moisturizers.

Smells funny but product is amazing
Smells funny. Literally like a hotdog. I do agree with most of the reviews about the smell. It is good serum. Using about a month now. Consistency is key. Don’t expect to see magic in one use.

Smells funky
I like how this makes my skin feel but I just can’t get over how it smells like hotdog water….
