The timeless art of matcha

Matcha is a central piece of the artful tea ritual that anchors well-being in Japan. Just as the act of whisking matcha restores the senses, cleansing becomes an act of renewal, washing away stress and restoring balance to skin and mind.

Inspired by Awa Sengan

In Japan, washing your face with care is the most important part of your beauty ritual. This time-honored technique involves whisking your cleanser into a soft, cloud-like cushion of foam that gently but deeply cleanses your pores. This mindful step begins a daily act of self-love, restoring softness and balance to the skin and mind.

The science of surfactants in our ultra-fine foam

The formula features a smart cleansing system built around four mild, amino acid–based surfactants. Working in synergy, these surfactants generate a luxurious foam made of ultra-fine bubbles that mimics the foam of freshly whisked matcha. Together they form mixed micelles that effectively trap and lift away impurities while preserving the skin’s natural barrier.

Reviews

Love this cleanser

"Matcha Foam Cleanser lathers well. A little goes a long way. My face feels clean. It feels refreshed soft and balanced. I have oily skin especially in the T zone and I have large pores. I love that it helps reduce excess oil. Though, oily skin and shine returns soon throughout the day. My skin seems to be less prone to breaking out, blemishes. I’m hoping it’ll help really to refined my large pores. So far, I do like the product much."

— Dana S. (5/5)

Love this formula!

"I liked the old formula but for me it was a little too watery. There was a lot of wasted product because of how watery it was. I was happy to see they made this formula thicker. I love it! I use it with my Foreo Luna 4 and you don’t need to use much. It foams up so nicely! Makes my feel clean without feeling tight. Please make a gratitude size for us combo to oily skin girls!"

— Eduardo D. (5/5)

Reformulation isn’t it

"I love Tatcha and I’ll be a forever customer for your other products (silk cream and essence has been a staple for me for years and years and nothing beats it) but I loved the old matcha cleanser as someone with easily congested sensitive skin. This is way too drying for me though I actually had skin flaking off after the second day. Very tight and uncomfortable for days after I stopped too. Sadly have to look outside of Tatcha to replace my old matcha cleanser now"

— Destiny (1/5)

please go away. I had

"please go away. I had a bad delivery experience and it was not handled properly and you lost a strong customer. Your customer manager doesn't care."

— tina l. (5/5)

The new formula is NOT an improvement

"I bought my matcha cleanser when it was time for a refill, not knowing they'd changed the formula. I noticed that it went from a clear gel to a bright green gel but thought, ok, I'll go with it since matcha is green and all. But my skin is reacting poorly to it. Clogged pores, pimples, and my pretty skin looks dehydrated and blotchy. The only change in my routine was this cleanser. I hate that they changed it. It is NOT the same. If you were a fan of the old formulation be warned the new one is very different and definitely not an improvement for some of us."

— LindaS (1/5)

"Love the Matcha Foam Cleanser! A little goes a long way. Skins feels clean & makeup free after use."

— JENNIFER (5/5)

Such a great cleanser

"It removes makeup and cleans my skin beautifully without drying out my skin. Love it"

— Jennine C. (5/5)

Amazing Cleanser

"This cleanser definitely will last me a while as it doesn't take much for it to foam up."

— Anne C. (5/5)

The best foam cleanse

"This product is good! My skin looks much better and the product cleans my skin very well"

— Sandra u. (5/5)

new formula ruined it

"Old formula may have been watery but it my skin absolutely loved it, new formula gave me contact dermatitis. (may or may not have dyes in the formula - that might be why - please bring the old one back (even seperately?))"

— Sienna (1/5)

Is There a Dewy Skin Cream Dupe? What to Try Instead

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.
