I had given up on my skin before this Tatcha starter kit

When I broke my ankle in three places and was in a wheelchair for three months, I decided that my skin was going to be in such bad shape. I could barely reach the skin to wash my face, let alone shower to get clean. I hadn't done much to keep up with my skin care before that anyway, because no matter what I tried, my skin never seemed to cooperate.

My pores looked huge, my skin was oily no matter when I washed it or how, and my cheeks retained that telltale reddish rosacea glow. I had given up on all the products I had tried because one after another they all did the exact same thing: irritate my skin and make me feel even worse.

That is, until one day, in a fit of boredom, I found myself scrolling through SkincareTok because I couldn't walk. I discovered Tatcha, a brand I was once curious about, and decided to take the plunge with the Tatcha Starter Ritual Kit.

The starter ritual is an all-in-one kit with everything you need to try out Tatcha skin care for two weeks. At just $74, it seemed like a good, cost-effective (and luxurious!) way to see if the brand could transform my skin. So I ordered it, and the Camellia Cleansing Oil, Rice Polish, Essence, Dewy Skin Cream, and Silk Peony Eye Cream came straight to my door.

I started using the Tatcha products as part of my daily routine and was blown away on the fifth day. The Rice Polish left my face feeling soft and calm, and most importantly, smooth. The Essence plumped my skin in ways I had never experienced before. Within a week I felt more confident, as confident as I could be in a wheelchair with an uncomfortable cast – so I knew something was working.

By the end of the second week, when I was out of products, it was an easy decision to purchase all the products in their full versions so I didn't have to skip a step using my new skincare saviors. While it does get quite pricey to buy a full version of everything, I knew Tatcha was worth it to restore my overall confidence, especially at a time when it had tanked. So this introductory pack gave me a good taste of what was to come, and I'm still using it.

If you want to see what Tatcha can do for you, take my experience as inspiration. If you've tried everything else, it might be time to try Tatcha, especially that silky rice lacquer. You'll be glad you did.
