To tell you a story, this girl went and bought herself a $100+ essence to say – just this once – that she had something luxurious in her skincare collection. If you’re thinking of the Tatcha one, then ding ding ding! You’re 100% correct! Imagine applying a product that beautifully reflects the ancient skincare rituals of a Japanese geisha. But don’t worry if your wallet isn’t letting you hit that checkout button. There are plenty of options that give similar results to these holy-grail faves at a fraction of the cost! Check out the Tatcha dupes below!
1. Burst of Hydration
Price: $68
Size: 1.7 Oz | 50 mL

It combines their signature Hadasei-3 (fermented algae, green tea, and rice) with a floral and gold touch to deliver youthful hydration. Plus, oily-skinners will love the sebum-controlling benefits. Feel it burst on your skin to reveal a soft, velvety look!
