"Good Product"
test review water crea,m
"test water cream, fullsize!!!"
OMG - SO GOOD
"No wonder it's called water cream. Literally feels like there's nothing on your face but it hydrates really well. This is my most favorite moisturizer of all time and I've been through quite a few. Also, absolutely love that it's vegan and cruelty free. Finally, the fact that you can get refills instead of wasting the beautiful bottle. Thanks for thinking of the planet too Tatcha! Love love love this product."
Water Cream
"Magic for pore issues. So love! Provides a natural clean feeling and reduces the look of pores."
Wouldn’t buy again
"I wish I could get a refund. This stuff starts out fine. Cute packaging with the built in spatula… great. The actual product gets super thin and watery when you put it on your skin. So it’s harder to spread. It doesn’t feel hydrating. It’s got a sort of slimy texture after touching your skin. My dermatologist recommended Neutrogena Hydro Gel and honestly, it’s much better. But I am always associating price with better quality… so I keep trying the more expensive stuff. Dumb. I’m going back to the hydro gel so my face feels better."
My Hero
"This is my ultimate luxury item i purchase for myself and my husband (i got him addicted) Although it is pricey, so we had to try and stretch it and make it work in recent months. . this is one thing we LOVE to splurge on! it feels amazing on the skin and i always glow."
The Water Cream is the best!
"Tatcha is very expensive, but so worth it. I will always have The Water Cream in my beauty regimen."
Holy grail moisturizer!!!
"Hands down best moisturizer ever! I have oily, acne-prone skin and this de clogged my pores and actually minimized oil! Goes sooo well with the matcha cleanse! Pricey, yes, but definitely worth it! I tried byoma, bubble, laneige, and never found a good fit until I got this! Will definitely repurchase! If you have oily skin this is for you TRUST!"
Change causing irritation
"All of a sudden this product is burning and stinging my skin. . . have been using it for years but maybe the formula has changed?"

Interview with Kiko Mizuhara: Tatcha's Global Ambassador
In this conversation, Tatcha Global Ambassador Kiko Mizuhara opens up about the intersection of skin and mind—how caring for her body has become a way of caring for her emotions, too. She talks candidly about learning to define her own worth after years of seeking it elsewhere, what Japan's contrasts of softness and intensity have taught her about beauty, and what ritual, rest, and self-acceptance look like for her today.
Repair While You Protect: Barrier-Repair Sunscreens Are the Newest Skincare Technology
Sunscreen protects the skin from UV rays, but it is proven to also protect the skin barrier by shielding it from free radicals and preventing dehydration (from repeated sun exposure). However, some modern sunscreen formulas include additional ingredients that can actually repair and strengthen the skin barrier while also shielding from UVA and UVB rays. Look for ingredients that tout their reparative nature, like ectoin, alongside SPF 30+ formulas, to ensure skin is protected while it repairs.
How to Choose the Best Dewy Face Moisturizer
Many moisturizers hydrate, but the right formula can also impart a dewy glow. These options actually work to get the skin naturally glowing over time, which is exactly what Tatcha’s dewy moisturizers accomplish. These formulas are powered by Hadasei-3, a potent and proprietary complex formulated to hydrate, gently resurface, and even make the products applied afterwards work better. Tatcha has many moisturizers, but two specific formulas that embrace dewiness: The Dewy Skin Cream and The Dewy Milk Moisturizer.
