Reviews

Lightweight, feels like nothing on my skin

"I’ve been using this product for over six years and before I found Tatcha, I never use lotion on my skin. I found a skin care routine very late in life and this is one thing I will never compromise. It feels lightweight going on. There’s no residue left over and absorbs in my skin quickly. It’s my go to morning routine after I use the textured tonic both continue to transform my skin and highly recommend. I have acne prone combination skin and I’m 40 years old people continue to notice the difference in my skin, I may continue to tell me I look younger than I am."

— Daniella F. (5/5)

Too light - Dewy is best for me

"I’ve been using The Dewy Skin Cream for years-and noticed someone mentioned using the water cream for daytime and dewy at night. So, I tried it, but it’s just not moisturizing enough for my mature skin. An expensive mistake in my part - I’ll probably give the water cream to my daughter."

— Rebecca R. (3/5)

Another Decrease

"The size of the last 3 containers I have received of this product have decreased each time. There are other small cheaper things as well, such as no more seal sticker to show the package has not been opened. I appreciate the offer of a refill, but if the refill ends up not fitting my original or even then container I bought most recently because of another size decrease, I will be finding a new brand."

— Kasey C. (1/5)

Nice

"Love how it makes my skin feel without being sticky, absorbs beautifully, almost a gel-like texture, but it absorbs immediately. I probably should try the cream for mature skin next, but I keep coming back to this."

— Regina R. (5/5)

The Best!

"I absolutely love the water cream. It's light and not greasy while taking away dryness. My dermatologist recommended an oil free moisturizer. This checks all the boxes for my skin."

— Karen K. (5/5)

beautiful

"Tatcha Water Cream is such a dreamy moisturizer! The lightweight gel-cream melts into my skin, leaving it instantly smoother, softer, and refreshed without feeling heavy or greasy. With consistent use, I noticed my pores looked smoother and my skin didn’t get as oily throughout the day. Definitely a little luxury that makes a noticeable difference! gifted by Tatcha"

— JustLikeJasmine (5/5)

Very luxurious!

"This product was gifted by tatcha. First, I love the packaging! The shimmery blue plastic looks very pretty and the attached metal spatula feels luxurious. Applying the cream with the spatula is especially refreshing because the metal is cool to the touch. The cream itself is rich yet lightweight. After a few uses, it dramatically improved the appearance and texture of a rough patch I had on my cheek. Overall, I’m very happy with this."

— Noel (5/5)

Never Disappointed

"This is my secret weapon - provides plenty of moisture to my mature skin with no greasy feeling. When I’m traveling I even use it under my eyes to limit the products I bring. Simply the best."

— William M. (5/5)

Fresh, Lightweight Hydration

"Tatcha The Water Cream is such a beautiful moisturizer for everyday use! It has a lightweight, silky texture that feels incredibly refreshing as soon as I apply it. It absorbs quickly into my skin without feeling heavy, sticky, or greasy, leaving my skin feeling soft, smooth, and comfortably hydrated. I also love how fresh and healthy my skin looks after using it. It’s perfect when I want hydration without that thick feeling, and the elegant packaging makes it feel like a little luxury in my skincare routine. Definitely a product I enjoy reaching for every day. Gifted by tatcha."

— Kevin. b. (5/5)

Very lightweight

"The Tatcha water cream is a very lightweight gel cream that feels cooling on the skin. It absorbs very quickly into the skin and makes my skin feeling smooth and soft after using it. I do also love the packaging as it looks very high quality and very pretty. complimentary from Tatcha"

— Diamond M. (4/5)

Is There a Dewy Skin Cream Dupe? What to Try Instead
Is There a Dewy Skin Cream Dupe? What to Try Instead

Dupes have never been more popular, but we believe you get what you pay for. They can be wonderful for some types of products, but with a lack of clinical testing, proven ingredients, and proprietary formulas, we worry skincare dupes aren’t worth the lesser price tag.  Many have tried to dupe Tatcha’s beloved Dewy Skin Cream, but there’s a reason they can never compete with the original: Hadasei-3.  This proprietary formula is the secret to why the moisturizer (and all other Tatcha moisturizers) feel so decadent and hydrating, and why it’s undupable.  If price is the barrier, you have better options than a dupe: Start with the mini, refill instead of repurchasing, and use Subscribe and Save once it earns a permanent place in your routine.

The Best Face Products for Dewy Skin
The Best Face Products for Dewy Skin

Dewy skin is popular for good reason: it appears luminous, hydrated, fresh, and naturally radiant.  Tatcha has spent more than a decade researching and formulating skincare designed to support hydrated, naturally radiant skin. The best products for dewy skin depend on your skin type, preferred texture, and desired benefit. Essences can help prepare and soften skin, serums provide targeted hydration, moisturizers seal in moisture, mists offer an immediate refresh, and face oils add finishing radiance.  You do not need every dewy skincare product to create a luminous finish. Start with a moisturizer suited to your skin type, then add an essence, serum, mist, or face oil based on the level of hydration, texture, and radiance you prefer.

Achieve Dewy Skin With These Hydration & Oil Control Tips
Achieve Dewy Skin With These Hydration & Oil Control Tips

The key to dewy skin is proper exfoliation, oil control, and drenching the skin in multiple layers of hydration-focused skincare. To achieve dewy skin, exfoliate regularly and apply successive layers of hydrating products in the following order: essence, serum, moisturizer, and finally either sunscreen (in the daytime) or facial oil (in the evening).  If your skin tends to get oily, managing excess shine can help maintain a dewy rather than greasy-looking finish. Use oil-absorbing products that manage long-term oil production, then blotting papers to temper oil throughout the day.  Dewy skin can’t be achieved without a healthy lifestyle, though: restful sleep, eating a well-balanced diet, and managing stress not only make your skin more radiant, but also contribute to overall health and well-being.
