Why We Love The Dewy Milk Moisturizer
First, let’s dive into why The Dewy Milk Moisturizer is so special. The Dewy Milk Moisturizer will help you achieve that signature Tatcha dewy glow while providing lightweight, lasting hydration that balances oil while still enhancing skin’s natural radiance. In clinical studies, the lightweight moisturizer instantly delivered two times the skin bounce*, balanced excess oil, and imparted a dewy glow that lasts all day.*
Ingredients
The Dewy Milk Moisturizer contains a clever blend of tried-and-true Japanese botanicals and clinical powerhouses for a moisturizer that supports the skin barrier.
Zinc Hyaluronate
A blend of zinc and hyaluronic acid, this ingredient minimizes water loss, helps strengthen the skin barrier, and works together to balance excess oil while delivering balanced hydration.
Prebiotic Green Tea
This powerful antioxidant, extracted from green tea, works as a prebiotic, helping to boost skin’s natural glow and supporting a healthy microbiome.
Japanese Purple Rice
The nourishing grain contains anthocyanin, a powerful antioxidant, that helps protect skin from free radicals and improves skin hydration.
Texture
The Dewy Milk Moisturizer comes in a lightweight creamy fluid in a pump package for ease of use (and reapplication). It’s ideal for many skin types, but those with combination to oily skin will especially love the lightweight feel and balancing capabilities.
Why We Love The Dewy Skin Cream
Capturing the hearts – and hydrating the skin – of countless users, the bestselling Dewy Skin Cream is always a good choice. In clinical studies, users showed an immediate improvement in skin plumpness, suppleness, and radiance after just a single use.** And after two weeks of use, The Dewy Skin Cream was shown to improve the look of dry fine lines by up to 88 percent.*
Ingredients
This bestselling moisturizer was cutting edge when it launched years ago, and the formula is still just as innovative, thanks to a handful of ingredients.
Hyaluronic Acid
The well-known and loved hydrating ingredient is present, but so is red algae and Tatcha’s proprietary Hadasei-3 complex for the ultimate moisturizing trio.
Squalane
The gold standard in hydration, biomimetic squalane helps to seal in moisture to keep skin hydrated longer.
Japanese Purple Rice
Just as it’s present in The Dewy Milk Moisturizer, this powerful natural ingredient is also present in The Dewy Skin Cream, helping to protect skin from free radical damage.
Texture
The Dewy Skin Cream is beloved by many – but particularly those with combination and dry skin – because of its rich, creamy texture that seals in moisture and provides triple the hydration instantly.***
Dewy Milk Moisturizer vs. Dewy Skin Cream
Both Dewy formulas replenish hydration, impart a dewy glow, and shield from free radicals—the main difference lies in the texture, richness, and skin type.
