Fresh, Lightweight Hydration

"Tatcha The Water Cream is such a beautiful moisturizer for everyday use! It has a lightweight, silky texture that feels incredibly refreshing as soon as I apply it. It absorbs quickly into my skin without feeling heavy, sticky, or greasy, leaving my skin feeling soft, smooth, and comfortably hydrated. I also love how fresh and healthy my skin looks after using it. It’s perfect when I want hydration without that thick feeling, and the elegant packaging makes it feel like a little luxury in my skincare routine. Definitely a product I enjoy reaching for every day. Gifted by tatcha."

Amazing

"complimentary from tatcha The absolute perfect lightweight moisturizer! The unique water-burst texture breaks on contact, flooding the skin with oil-free hydration.

Lightweight and refreshing

"I really enjoy using Tatcha The Water Cream. The texture is very lightweight and feels almost like a gel, so it absorbs quickly without leaving my skin sticky or greasy. My skin feels smoother and more hydrated right after applying it. With regular use, I’ve also noticed that my pores look a little smoother and my skin doesn’t get as oily during the day. It feels fresh, comfortable, and works really well under makeup. I received this product as a gift in exchange for my honest review. complimentary from tatcha"

Luxe

"The Water Cream is one of those products that makes my skincare routine feel like a luxury experience. The texture is incredibly light, silky, and almost weightless, but still incredibly hydrating. It leaves my skin feeling soft, smooth, and refreshed without any heaviness. I also love how quickly it absorbs and how beautiful my skin looks afterward. It’s become one of those products I genuinely look forward to using every day. Tatcha really nailed the balance between hydration and that lightweight, fresh-skin feeling. complimentary from tatcha"

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.
