Meghan Markle's Favorite Tatcha Skincare Is Worth the Hype—And It's Up to 30% Off
Stock up on royal and editor-approved cleansers, mists and serums before the deals end.
Last night, my teenage son asked me how much I spent a year on skincare and after a beat, I said “a lot.” Working at a fashion magazine definitely has its benefits, but being influenced by all of the new products out there (see: Marie Claire’s 2026 Beauty Awards) also has some downsides. That being said, one brand that I started using because of my job is Tatcha, and it’s all down to Meghan Markle’s longtime makeup artist, Daniel Martin.
Martin, who serves as Tatcha’s first-ever Global Director of Artistry and Education, has used the brand on the Duchess of Sussex for years, including on her 2018 wedding day to Prince Harry—and some of Meghan’s top products are now up to 30 percent off in Amazon Prime's Big Deal Days.
I started using Tatcha’s fan-favorite products several years ago after writing so many royal beauty articles including Meghan’s go-tos, so I was excited to see many of my picks are included in this year’s Prime sale.
Meghan, pictured in February 2026, has been using Tatcha's skincare products for years.
If you can only try one Tatcha product, I’d recommend starting with its Rice Polish. Before her royal days Meghan praised the cleanser to Allure, sharing: "I really love the Tatcha Rice Enzyme Powder. It just sort of foams on your face and gives you a really subtle exfoliation."
There’s a version for every type of skin, but I stick with the classic iteration, and since it’s 30 percent off in Prime’s Big Deal Days, you can bet I’m stocking up. Another one of my Tatcha must-haves (and Meghan's) is its Serum Stick, another 30 percent off deal in Amazon's yearly October event.
Martin told Allure in 2021 that he used Tatcha’s serum stick mixed with Danessa Myrick’s Lightwork Palette to create a custom highlighter for Meghan, but the product is often dubbed “Botox in a stick” because of its line-smoothing, hydrating properties. I use it under my eyes before applying concealer and have seen a major difference in how smoothly the color goes on.
Daniel Martin used Tatcha's Serum Stick on Meghan for the 2021 Salute to Freedom Gala.
When it came to Meghan's wedding day makeup, Martin said on the "Breaking Beauty" podcast last year that her skincare prep "was basically a lot of Tatcha." When the Duchess of Sussex briefly added links to her wedding day makeup on her ShopMy page, she included Tatcha's Luminous Dewy Skin Mist.

I was skeptical when I first tried it, but the spray—now under $35 in Prime Big Deal Days—adds moisture and helps your makeup go on more smoothly while also providing a pick-me-up in the middle of the day.
More of Martin and Meghan's favorites are included in the sale, including Tatcha's Water Cream and Kissu Lip Mask, along with a host of the brand's other essentials. The bad news? Wednesday, October 7 is the final day of the deals, so act now before prices go back to normal on Thursday.
