Reviews

Nice Hydrating Texture

"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."

Flyinghow (4/5)

Nothing is like this moisturizer

"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."

Hannah G. (5/5)

So hydrating!

"I love this moisturizer. It feels good on my sensitive skin and makes my skin better after daily use."

Anna E. (5/5)

"Love this for my GIGANTIC pores! Im oily as well, so this really helps, especially when layering under sunscreen!"

Claire (5/5)

Great summer cream

"Light and perfect for hot weather."

Katarzyna B. (5/5)

Not worth the hype

"I’ve been using this product consistently for weeks and honestly I have less expensive products that do a better job. Fool me once I actually been fooled twice because I also purchased the night cream which works a little better."

Juanita F. (1/5)

Perfect for everyday

"Perfect for everyday wear, feels light and refreshing, leaves skin smooth and hydrated"

Heather O. (5/5)

Water cream

"I like this. Because it leaves a soft feeling and makes my skin feel more natural"

Darlene K. (1/5)

"Leaves my face a little too moist for the day, but perfect for my nighttime ritual and also love this as a hand/cuticle moisturizer."

Emily (5/5)

"I asked ChatGPT regarding my oily skin which product should I use and it stated the water cream by Tatcha! So comfortable! On the daily!"

Beverly (5/5)

If you have the chance to visit Japan, you’ll likely get to experience one of its famous summer festivals, or natsu matsuri.

These vibrant and colorful celebrations are often a showcase of the neighborhood with local craft vendors, dancing, fireworks, carnival games, and even a lottery known as fukubiki.  The traditional game is said to have originated in 702 when Emperor Shomu held a New Year’s party where strips of paper were drawn for prizes like a beautiful cloth. Modern versions are sure-win raffles that can be held anytime of year where paper fukubiki are drawn from a wooden box. Fukubiki are said to reveal one’s fortune, and in more recent years, earn you a prize at your favorite retailer from mystery bags to discounts.  To bring the spirit of good fortune to you, we’ve started our own fukubiki-inspired tradition. From July 31st to August 9th, everyone will be a winner with a choice of up to four complimentary minis with a $100+ order. You may even win the chance to choose a full-size prize!

Japanese Matcha Benefits for Skin
Japanese Matcha Benefits for Skin

Matcha is finely powdered green tea that is known for its bright green hue, distinct cultivation, ceremonial preparation process, and transformative health benefits. There are different grades of matcha, with ceremonial being the most prized. Ceremonial-grade matcha comes from younger tea leaves that are more prized for their delicate flavor and potent health benefits. Matcha is also found in many skincare formulas, which might sound strange at first, but the green tea’s powerful antioxidants also work wonders on the skin, helping to soothe, calm, and balance.
