Pricy
"The cream itself is excellent for dry and sensitive skin. I just don’t appreciate paying for the fancy jars it comes in because it gets thrown away each time anyways."

Reviews
Works for me
"I am on medication that causes skin issues, including dry, flaky, and irritated skin. The Indigo Calming Cream seems to be a good choice for me. I had been using the Dewy Cream before the medication, but it was no longer helping me."
It Really is Calming
"I ordered this to try on my Rosacea and I could see an improvement immediately. (well, after a few days) Easy to use, so glad I found it."
The holy grail
"I switch off between this and the dewy skin collection. I’m in my mid 40’s, just recovered this last year from stage 4 cancer. So I definitely needed some attention to my skin. I haven’t been great about consistency, but just started using every night for about two weeks. My redness has reduced, and my fine lines have reduced. I use Tatcha as well as DRMTLGY products. These are the best on the market for the price. Get all of the products, you honestly can’t go wrong. Can’t get over how just lovely, smooth, and calming all the products are."
Just what my skin needed!
"Leaves my mature skin supple and glowing. I love Tatcha products and have started buying for my daughters as well!"
Works Well for Me
"This cream works well for my sensitive skin. As someone with rosacea, this is calming and moisturizing."
Indigo calming cream
"Seems to be ok. However it’s brutally hot here in SW Florida so every cream melts and sweats off now. Can’t truly judge this product because of this terrible heat wave"
Wish there was a refill pod
"I love this one. My acne breakouts haven't been as bad since using this. I wish they sold refill pods."
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!"

Dewy Skin Cream Dupe
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
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
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.
