Is Tula Skincare Good? Honest Review You Need

Introduction

Now that you have discovered Tula everywhere on Instagram and on Tik Tok, the big question comes to you: Is Tula Skincare Good? Or is it merely some influencer hype machine? There is nothing to be worried about, I have gone down that rabbit hole too. I have used the products, have read the ingredient lists and, yes, I have had some of those oops, maybe not for me, moments. Let us deconstruct like two skin-care loving ladies sipping iced lattes.

What Makes Tula Different?

The trick is as follows: Tula sells itself as a skincare brand based on probiotics. Their entire claim is that probiotics (the good bacteria that is usually found in yogurt) can make your skin balanced, redness gone, and everything looking smooth and clear. Sounds fancy, right? But does it actually work?

In my opinion probiotic things are not merely marketing mummery. The probiotics are capable of aiding in the support of skin barriers and it can be really beneficial in case your skin is easily angered (hi, sensitive skin crew). Other fashionable ingredients included in the formulas are hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and peptide, something we are well aware of dragging their heels in any routine.

The trick is, though, that when you expect to get the acne cured or the wrinkles erased by pure probiotics only, it is not going to happen. Beauty does not act like a filter on Instagram (unfortunately).

Is Tula Skincare Good for Different Skin Types?

The skin types will not go well with Tula in all cases. Let me break it down:

For Oily Skin

• Tula cleansers, in particular, the Cult Classic Purifying Face Cleanser are effective since it does not leave your skin feeling debilitated.

The viscous nature of it becomes foamy enough to be pleasurable.

For Dry Skin

• Tula Hydrating Day and Night Cream is a savior. It is also fat yet not oily and thus you do not get a feeling that you have just dipped your face in a bowl of oil.

Besides, the probiotics soothe irritation which occasionally accompanies dryness.

For Sensitive Skin

• In this respect Tula comes into her own. They do not use fragrances or have very limited fragrances that are used in their products and they do not use harsh ingredients.

If your skin throws tantrums frequently, then their So Polished Exfoliating Sugar Scrub is mild and powerful.

For Acne-Prone Skin

Real talk: Tula is not the most powerful acne fighting brand.

Unless you need hardcore acne treatments which use benzoyl peroxide or strong retinol, you will have to go elsewhere.

However, Tula Breakout Star Oil-Free Acnes Moisturizer is a solid pick to calm down redness and aid the skin in recovery after acne breakouts.

To answer: yes, Tula can be good, but it is up to you what you want.

Tula Products Worth Trying (and a Few You Can Skip)

I have tried some more than the usual number, so here is the spill:

Must-Try Products

• Cult Classic Face Cleanser Purifier.
• Gel, foam, and dissolve makeup.
• Don’t strip your skin.
• Honestly, it’s a staple.
• Glow & Get It Cooling Eye Balm
• There is a reason why this small stick is viral.
• It provides that chilly de-puffing touch, and a light radiance.
• Ideal when you are not getting enough sleep (aka the majority of us).
• 24-7 Moisture Hydrating Night and Day Cream.
• Expensive, cool and day and night.
• A sure thing should you wish to only have one moisturizer in your life.
• So Polished Exfoliating Sugar Scrub.
• Mild enough to apply frequently, say, three or four times each week.
• Makes skin soft, not rough as sandpaper.

Products You Can Skip

1. Filter Primer: Gorgeous packaging, although I think it is more of a makeup product than skin care.
2. Protect + Glow Sunscreen: This is a good looker but since you are a sun protection snob, you can do better (think EltaMD or Supergoop).

The Tula Beauty Guide to Choosing a Skincare Routine

And in case you are wondering how to actually use Tula without spending a lot of money, here is an example of a morning and night routine using the best products Tula has:

Morning Routine

• Cleanser– Clean the face using the Cult Classic Purifying Face Cleanser.
• Eye Balm– Swipe the Glow and Get It Balm beneath your eyes.
• Moisturizer – Rub on the 24-7 Hydrating Cream.
• Sunscreen – Use the Protect + Glow Sunscreen with Tula or replace it with your own favorite SPF.

Night Routine

• Cleanser– Go with the Cult Classic once again.
• Exfoliate— 2-3 times a week, the So Polished Scrub.
• Moisturizer -Use a heavier coat of the Hydrating Cream.

Optional Treatment Add your own serum (such as a retinol or vitamin C in case your skin can handle it).

See? Super simple. Skincare does not require 12 steps with a complicated process, unless you desire it.

 

Is Tula Skincare Worth the Money?

We need to discuss cash since good skin does not need to be rented. That is the middle ground pricing of Tula. It is by no means drugstore cheap, but neither is it La Mer crazy. The pricing of most of its products ranges between 30-50, which is moderate provided that you want to spend neither too much nor too little on quality ingredients.

But is it worth it? Yes, IMO, to their cleanser, moisturizer and eye balm. Those are of high quality and the amount is enough. However, when you have a tight budget, it is possible to find drugstore alternatives that do the same things (CeraVe, anyone?).

Foods That You will Find in Tula (and Why)

Tula is fond of a nice ingredient highlight. Here’s what stands out:

• Probiotics -Calm skin, minimize redness, and maintain barrier health.
• Hyaluronic Acid– Maintains skin full and hydrated.
• Niacinamide – Assists in uneven tone and makes the barrier stronger.
• Peptides -Firmness of skin and elasticity.
• Superfoods (such as blueberry and turmeric) – Add antioxidants to further protect the skin.
• They blend well, however, the truth is that it is not revolutionary. Nevertheless, it is a good combination which does not irritate skin.

What I Love About Tula

Consistency: There is consistency in their products. My skin has never been burnt or freaked out.

Aesthetic Packaging: Alright, I know it is shallow, but the blue packaging looks good on my bathroom counter.

Balance: The shape balances without being weighted down.

Availability: Tula is available at Ulta or directly at their site without the need to search through niche shops.

What I Don’t Love About Tula

Not Serious About Acne: Tula is not the fix you should get in case you are serious about acne.

Price vs. Dupes: There are those products that you feel are expensive when compared to those in drugstores.

Marketing Hype: Sometimes I believe that the person doing the push of the products is overselling what it can really do.

Common Questions People Ask About Tula

Does Tula have the approval of a dermatologist?

Yes, Tula frequently mentions testing of dermatologists. Remember though, not all dermatologists will prescribe it. And never believe what suits your skin.

Is Tula cruelty-free?

Yes, Tula is free of cruelty and does not test animals.

Is Tula clean skincare?

Tula claims to be a clean brand. They do not contain parabens, sulfates and phthalates. However, keep in mind: clean does not necessarily mean better, it only means that they do not use some controversial ingredients.

Can men use Tula skincare?

Absolutely. Skin is skin. My brother even stole my Tula cleanser at one time and he has been addicted since.

Does Tula work for aging skin?

Their hydrating peptides and moisturizers have the ability to assist in fine lines and hydration but do not expect that they will substitute the more powerful treatments such as retinol.

Final Thoughts: So, Is Tula Skincare Good?

This is my straight forward answer; yes, Tula skincare is good, but not miraculous. It is trustworthy, soft and possesses some of the best products that will always be included in my habits. Tula is a good option in case you are interested in basic, efficient skincare and feel that a bit of extravagance without emptying your wallet. 

However, when your goals are hardcore acne solutions or extreme anti-aging, it may be wise to combine other brands. Finally, it is a subjective thing in skincare. What works best with me may not work with you and that is all okay.

So, is Tula worth trying? IMO, yes. Begin with the cleanser and the moisturizer. In case your skin resonates with them you can check the rest of the line. Worst case scenario, you have ended up with cute blue bottles on your shelf. Best case? You get your new routine.
