The Indigo Calming Cream

A bit blue-toned, but so neutral & moisturizing

"This is replacing a discontinued Organic Pharmacy Men's Cream I have used for almost 10 years. It is non-irritating and moisturizing. I have to use the overnight in addition if I want to still be glossy in the am. I have yet to use in my t zone (too scared) but I have mild bumpy rosacea on my cheeks and this has not irritated it in 1 week of use. In combination with the milky sunscreen this has been great! You also need VERY little of it, so I end up with a little hand moisturizer at the end :) To be honest I really miss the glass containers. It feels less premium without it."

Takes Pressure off Prescriptions

"It is wonderful to have a way to respond to my sensitive, eczema prone skin that is founded in wholesome ingredients instead of pharmaceuticals. Over time, I have been able to reduce my need for the topical cremes and ointments that often accompany severe eczema, which is great. I hope a gratitude size is offered in the future!"

Summer Skin

"I usually get a little summer rash on my cheeks and chin during the first of summer. I think the Calming Cream helped."

amazing for sensitive skin

"Tatcha The Indigo Cream feels like a thoughtful blend of beauty and function. From the elegant jar to the integrated spatula that attaches neatly to the lid, every detail enhances the experience of use. The texture is uniquely light and refined. As you apply it, the cream transforms from blue to transparent, melting effortlessly into the skin and absorbing quickly without residue. I use this as a recovery moisturizer when my skin needs extra care — after retinol, mild exfoliation, during seasonal transitions, or anytime my complexion feels out of balance. It consistently helps soothe sensitivity and calm visible redness, leaving my skin feeling comfortable, supported, and restored."

Was the only thing that helped my skin

"For MONTHS I was getting horrible sores on the sides of my mouth. I thought maybe cold sores? Was taking meds for it twice a day, but it didn’t do anything. Then my eyelid became swollen and red and itchy. It was like that for weeks. I realized it might be eczema, and tried to find anything that would help. Nothing made it go away until I got this. The first night I used it, the irritation went down significantly. After a few days, my skin was great. No problems at all. On my third order of it, and I still havent had any problems flare up again. I’m upset I dealt with those awful sore for almost all of last year when all I had to do was switch moisturizers."

Dry red skin

"Nothing has ever changed my dry red skin like Tatcha"

Why doesn't this one come in XL size?

"I am allergic to lanolin and sulfites and my skin is very dry. I had been using a different brand but on a trip - maybe because of dry airplane air? - I developed a problem with superdry eyelids and the other cream could not be used around the eyes. Ended up trying this one and found it WONDERFUL. As I am a bit childish I also like the blue color, makes it more fun to apply. Pleasantly surprised that it moisturizes sufficiently even in the winter. I can't say that I see any difference vis a vis redness but that's OK for me. Now the negatives: I don't like the night cream at all, I find it smeary. I wish the day cream like many of Tatcha's other creams, came in the supersize. And I have shared the experience of some other reviewers, that there must be an occasional problem with the cream dispensing machinery, because some jars arrive with a GIANT air bubble in them causing the contents to be at best half full and sometimes less. I don't know what to do about this. Customer service did send me a mini version but they denied that there could possibly be a systemic problem and I can't keep writing to them each time it happens, if it happens again. But the cream is too expensive to just accept half a jar. . ."

Indigo Calming Cream

"The Indigo Calming Cream is so wonderful for sensitive skin. I use it for uneven redness or facial dry patches, also for chapped lips or the skin around the lips. I have also used it on my hands when they have become rough and red."

"Tatcha never disappoints. The only reason i gave a four star rating is, I enjoy the feel of the indigo overnight repair a bit more."

Not for me!

"Wanted to love it and believe the hype but the eczema flared up like crazy, causing extreme swelling on the face. Definitely not for me."
