TATCHA Silken Pore Perfecting Sunscreen SPF 35, 60 ml — Matte, Pore‑Blurring Primer for Face

Tatcha Silken Pore Perfecting Sunscreen SPF 35 is a weightless, broad-spectrum sunscreen that blurs the appearance of pores while delivering a matte, silky finish.

Designed to layer under makeup or wear alone, this 60 ml (2 oz) sunscreen combines mineral-friendly protection with skin-smoothing botanicals. It absorbs quickly without a chalky residue, provides broad UVA/UVB coverage, and includes silk extract plus Japanese wild rose and loquat leaf to help refine texture and soothe skin. The formula aims to act like a primer that reduces shine and leaves skin feeling soft and even.

How does this sunscreen reduce the look of pores and control shine?

The formulation uses light-diffusing ingredients and silk extract to create a soft-focus effect, which visually minimizes pores and surface irregularities. It also dries to a matte finish so excess oil is less visible, helping makeup sit more evenly throughout the day.

• Silk extract for a silky-smooth skin feel
• Light-reflecting, pore-blurring texture
• Matte finish that reduces oil and shine
• Works as a makeup primer for smoother application

What kind of UV protection does it provide and how should I use it?

This product offers broad-spectrum SPF 35 protection against UVA and UVB rays. Apply liberally to face and exposed neck area as the last step of your skincare routine, before makeup. Reapply at least every two hours if in direct sun, after swimming, or after heavy sweating for continued protection.

• Broad-spectrum SPF 35 coverage
• Apply as the final skincare step before makeup
• Reapply every two hours or after water exposure

Which key ingredients are included and what do they do?

The formula blends skin-friendly botanicals and silk-derived elements to smooth texture and offer antioxidant support. Japanese wild rose helps visually tighten pores and refine skin texture, while loquat leaf extract provides calming antioxidants. These ingredients support an even, polished appearance without weighing skin down.

• Silk extract: leaves skin feeling velvety and smooth
• Japanese wild rose: helps diminish the look of pores
• Loquat leaf extract: provides antioxidant and soothing benefits
• Non-greasy base ideal for layering under makeup

Can this sunscreen work as a primer under foundation?

• Creates a smooth, matte base for foundation
• Does not leave a chalky finish
