"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!"
"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."
"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."
"Nothing has ever changed my dry red skin like Tatcha"
"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. . ."
"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."
"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."
"The best skin care!"
"My skin changed when I turned 40. I’m now dealing with dryness, rosacea (with bumps), and a little sensitivity. I tried a few different moisturizers and they just made the dryness worse and nothing touched my rosacea. This moisturizer is amazing for dryness but didn’t touch the redness or bumps on my skin. I’m currently pairing it with Peach Slices Redness Relief and seeing some rosacea improvement. Regardless, highly recommend for moisture but was a little disappointed that it didn’t help the redness or bumps. It’s pricey but my skin feels amazing after using it. Recommend."
Frequently asked questions
Dewy skin is synonymous with healthy-looking skin. While many products can fake a radiant glow, Tatcha is dedicated to getting your skin naturally dewy.

Hadasei-3 resurfaces, hydrates, and protects, and is comprised of a special blend of fermented rice, green tea, and algae. Our dewy skin routine is powered by Hadasei-3, the backbone to some of our most glow-enhancing essences, serums, and moisturizers.
Matcha is a special type of finely powdered green tea prized for its bright green hue, distinct cultivation practices, ceremonial preparation, and transformative health benefits. The tea is linked with many health benefits, from improving mental alertness, fighting free radicals thanks to the potent antioxidants, and boosting numerous cognitive functions. Additionally, matcha is also proven to be wonderfully beneficial for reducing blemishes when applied topically, an impressive fact proven by numerous clinical studies.
Foaming cleansers can be effective for all, but the secret to using them correctly is discovering a formula that is ideal for your skin type. A creamy foaming cleanser, which imparts a soft hydration onto the skin as cleansing, is more ideal for dry skin, while a refreshing foaming cleanser that includes oil-balancing ingredients is more ideal for combination and oily skin tones. Some formulas work by allowing the dense bubbles to grasp onto debris, sebum, and makeup, washing away in a single step. While other formulas might need an oil cleanser first to break down these trickier long-lasting ingredients.
