"Tatcha Water Cream is such a dreamy moisturizer! The lightweight gel-cream melts into my skin, leaving it instantly smoother, softer, and refreshed without feeling heavy or greasy. With consistent use, I noticed my pores looked smoother and my skin didn’t get as oily throughout the day. Definitely a little luxury that makes a noticeable difference! gifted by Tatcha"
"This product was gifted by tatcha. First, I love the packaging! The shimmery blue plastic looks very pretty and the attached metal spatula feels luxurious. Applying the cream with the spatula is especially refreshing because the metal is cool to the touch. The cream itself is rich yet lightweight. After a few uses, it dramatically improved the appearance and texture of a rough patch I had on my cheek. Overall, I’m very happy with this."
"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."
"The Tatcha water cream is a very lightweight gel cream that feels cooling on the skin. It absorbs very quickly into the skin and makes my skin feeling smooth and soft after using it. I do also love the packaging as it looks very high quality and very pretty. complimentary from Tatcha"
"Complementary from Tacha, this cream is absolutely amazing! The name “The Water Cream” suits is so well. It feels so nice on skin, it actually feels like a splash of refreshing water. The application process was so smooth. It leaves your skin feeling hydrated and looking great!"
"The texture is my favorite part and it's a lightweight gel cream that feels almost like a burst of water when it hits your skin. It absorbs quickly without any greasy or heavy residue, and it leaves behind a cool, refreshing feeling that's especially nice in the morning or during warmer months. I love the little gold spoon that comes with it. It makes scooping out the perfect amount feel like a treat. I apply it after my serum, massaging it in upward strokes across my face, neck, and décolletage. It works beautifully both in the evening as part of my nightly ritual and in the morning, leaving my skin perfectly prepped for makeup. gifted by tatcha."
"The water cream by tatcha has been a lovely addition to my skincare routine. It is my new favorite part of my skincare routine. I noticed the cream helped with refining the look of my pores. It made my skin look smooth. The cream felt very light, which is awesome for my skin type because it soaked it all up instantly! This cream was gifted by tatcha."
"It has a lightweight, refreshing texture that absorbs quickly and leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth without being greasy. With regular use, my skin looks more even, my pores seem less noticeable, and I notice less oil during the day. It’s become a favorite for everyday hydration. complimentary from tatcha"
"Wow is this one of my favorite moisturizers ever or what! It’s an OG moisturizer, a little goes a very long way, hydrating and the tiny gold spatula is so perfect sitting on top of the jar. I will continue repurchasing her! Complimentary gifted by tatcha for review."
"I received this product complimentary, but my opinions are 100% my own. The lightweight gel-cream formula feels so refreshing and weightless on the skin. Right after applying, my skin instantly felt smoother, hydrated, and perfectly balanced. After using it over time, I’ve noticed a visible difference—my pores look much smoother, and my skin produces far less excess oil throughout the day. It’s the perfect daily moisturizer!"
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.
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.
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.
