What the product description says
“Pure One Step Camellia Cleansing Oil - Face Wash | Tatcha”
Source: Sephora

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (glyceryl behenate/eicosadioate, polyglyceryl-10 dioleate, polyglyceryl-2 sesquicaprylate) and should be able to cleanse the skin gently. Still keep in mind that any cleansing can disrupt the skin barrier, and most people do not need to cleanse their skin more than once per day.

“- Hadasei-3™, Tatcha’s Proprietary Complex of Rice, Green Tea, and Algae: Amino acids and AHAs (lactic acid) from double fermentation resurface and plump.”

This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.

  • Bumpee· May 2025Recommends

    Amazing gentle cleanser, emulsifies completely and removes all traces of makeup without drying or stripping skin

  • AntimonyandRoses· Jan 2024Recommends

    Love it! Totally removes everything but waterproof mascara. It even removes the Chanel liquid lipsticks and those last through dinner dates

  • Jenergizerr· Nov 2023Recommends

    as a dry skin / acne prone girl oil cleansing can be scary. I use alot of red eye product which is typically hard to get off - this gets it all off & I can use around my eyes

    has not made me break out, in fact removes sebaceous filaments (which I dont have anymore after almost a year of regular use).

    10/10 recommend

Can contain potent anti-oxidant compounds (abbreviated ECG, GCG, EGC, and EGCG) that might help protect the skin from free radicals. Can help calm down inflammation and has some anti-bacterial properties. Unfortunately, these antioxidants are unstable and lose their effectiveness very quickly in products. The concentration of the antioxidant compounds in the extract also tends to be low to be effective in topical formulation
