Tatcha PURE One Step Camellia Cleansing Oil

The TATCHA Cleansing Oil arrived beautifully packaged and with a handwritten note from the TATCHA team.

While little details like this are common in the beauty blogging swag world, I was taken by the intimacy I felt as a friend. Not many brands do this, but it means so much to feel connected to the people to whom you’re entrusting your skin.

I’d been doing some research on the brand and was ready to try everything in the set in which I obsessed for sometimes now.

After reading Linda's blog from www.silverkis.com, I decided to give it a try. My first order was indeed Tatcha Pure  Cleansing Oil and Classic Rice Enzyme Powder.

Tatcha Pure Camellia Cleansing Powder US$45 for 150ml. This lightweight, nearly fragrance-free cleansing oil would make a great introduction to oil cleansing for those who are still a bit shy to the idea. Applied with dry hands to a dry face, TATCHA’s One Step Camellia Cleansing Oil breaks down makeup and gently cleans the skin.  I personally love this cleansing oil better than Shu's Cleansing Oil becsuse it is not as thick texture as Shu nut it equally do the job well.

When you’re ready to remove everything you’ve just broken down, a splash of warm water emulsifies the blend of rice bran, palm kernal, coconut and camellia oils into a milky, light cream. It’s simple to remove and you really don’t need to go back over your face with a hot compress or second round of splashes to remove traces of oil.

While I enjoy using the One Step Camellia Cleansing Oil, it’s not one I’d likely repurchase only because I’m using Mario.Badescu Enzyme Cleaning Gel which work perfect on my skin.  However, I think these little One Step Camellia Cleansing Oils are perfect for travel; I’d buy more of these deluxe sample sizes for the convenience!
