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)

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)

"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)

"This is worth the money… Unfortunately 😂 The refills are cheaper than the whole pot, so be a reusable gal and splurge now! No pilling AT ALL"

Carly (5/5)

"I love the way it feels. . . light and silky with a pleasant faint aroma. It absorbs nicely into my skin and hydrates"

Billi-Jean (5/5)

The Best Foaming Facial Cleanser
The Best Foaming Facial Cleanser

Foaming cleansers can be effective for all, but the secret to using them correctly is discovering a formula that is ideal for your skin type. A creamy foaming cleanser, which imparts a soft hydration onto the skin as cleansing, is more ideal for dry skin, while a refreshing foaming cleanser that includes oil-balancing ingredients is more ideal for combination and oily skin tones. Some formulas work by allowing the dense bubbles to grasp onto debris, sebum, and makeup, washing away in a single step. While other formulas might need an oil cleanser first to break down these trickier long-lasting ingredients.
