Overview
Pressing a few drops into the face after cleansing is how Tatcha The Essence is used. The signature complex is the key ingredient, and the formula is unscented, oil free and listed for moisturizing, nourishing and smoothing.
Wide coverage and a clean profile suit most routines, since the listing names every skin type and tone. It gives no step-by-step use, and the form and category labels contradict each other.
Who it's for
The situation is a light hydrating layer between cleansing and moisturizer, on skin of any type or tone. Skip it if you want a rich cream or a serum with a named active such as vitamin C or retinol.
Pros and cons

Performance notes
An essence is a thin, watery layer meant to prep the skin before heavier products. Its proprietary complex is the ingredient the listing builds on, but the contents are not spelled out. Without oil in the formula, it adds hydration without a greasy finish.
