"I’ve used every single lotion tatcha lotion. I love them all. But this. . this is the best. It’s thick and gelatinous and it feels like it’s breathing hydrating life in my skin. And every single use its viscosity is smooth and flush in the container itself. That somehow means the product is good."
"I use this prior to makeup and it makes powder foundation go on smoothly and really addresses oil and pore issues. It’s very light and smells so good, and a little goes a long way. I just dab it on my T-zone."
"The Water Cream doesn't leave my oily skin feeling more oily. My face feels, clean and smooth. I hoghly recommend this product if you have sensitive and oily skin. It's perfect!!"
"I regret buying the refill pack because I wasn't able to take out the inner box from the tatcha moisturizer box. I had to manually scoop and fill it in the old bottle. I will never buy a refill pack again"
"I love the cream. The perfect addition to my beauty regimen. Treats my enlarged pores."
"The water cream is exactly what I need for my combination oily skin. It is light enough so it doesn’t clog my pores yet gives me the right amount of moisture. I’ll be buying more."
"Are we sure this is for combination to oily skin? Because I have normal to dry skin and I found the dewy skin cream too heavy and tacky feeling. This cream gives the right amount of moisture and leaves a smooth feeling, no tackiness. This could be because it's summer and my skin lightens up a little bit on the dryness when the weather is hot and humid. It is definitely overpriced, but it was nice to try."
"I’ve been using this moisturizer for a few years and I’ll put something new into my rotation to see what else is out there, but nothing compares to this moisturizer and I always go back. It hydrates without any buildup. I feel like it helps with my lines and pores. But is also lightweight."
"I love this moisturizer. It feels good on my sensitive skin and makes my skin better after daily use."
"It's light and delightful! Smells wonderful and makes my skin radiant."
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.
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.
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.
