      Our writer was given a complimentary sample of Tatcha The Water Cream to put to the test. Keep reading for our full product review.<\/em><\/p>\n

      Choosing a facial moisturizer requires careful consideration, with your skin type being one of the most important factors to think of while browsing the aisles. As someone with dry skin, I’ve learned that my skin craves a moisturizer that’s gentle, soothing, and packs in tons of hydration. I’ve come to rely on a handful of creams after years of trial and error, but I’m always itching to expand my list of dry skin-friendly products. That’s why I was game to test Tatcha’s The Water Cream, one of the brand’s best-selling formulas. Ahead, read my full review of the lightweight, pore-refining moisturizer.\n<\/p>\n

      About My Skin: Prone to dryness <\/span><\/h2>\n

      Throughout my 20s, my skin has always leaned toward the drier side. My dry patches are most noticeable on my forehead, cheeks, and jawline. During the winter, my skin is at its worst, becoming irritated and dehydrated if I don’t adhere to a thorough routine. During the summer, my skin can skew a bit more combination, featuring oily spots along my T-zone. When it comes to moisturizers, I’m open to different formats and textures (whether thick and buttery or light and whipped) as long as they deliver the moisture I’m looking for.\n<\/p>\n

      The Feel: Airy, whipped cream <\/span><\/h2>\n

      As one would expect from a product called The Water Cream, its texture is very lightweight. The cream has a slippery, whipped feel similar to a gel moisturizer. The water-based formula feels cooling as it’s applied and absorbs quickly into the skin, never leaving behind a tacky finish.\n<\/p>\n

      Ingredient Quality \/ Concentration: Hydrating and pore-refining blend <\/span><\/h2>\n

      There are a few key ingredients powering The Water Cream. It contains Hadasei-3, a powerhouse complex of rice, green tea, and algae that helps reduce the appearance of pores and smooth your skin.\u00a0Glycerin\u00a0is present in the formula to help enhance hydration and strengthen your skin barrier. Last but not least, the brand infused Japanese wild rose and heartleaf into the moisturizer to tighten pores and soothe your skin.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

      The Delivery Method \/ Packaging: Refillable packaging\u00a0 <\/span><\/h2>\n

      The Water Cream is housed in an ornate blue jar decorated with a purple and gold emblem and the Tatcha logo. It comes with a delicate gold spatula on the top of each jar to help you maintain a sanitary application experience with each use. The full-size jar contains 1.7 fluid ounces of product, which should last a while. Once you run out, you can purchase one of the brand’s new refill pods, which cost $62.\n<\/p>\n

      The Results: Plumper, hydrated skin <\/span><\/h2>\n

      I’ve used The Water Cream for two weeks as my daytime and nighttime moisturizer. I stuck to an incredibly pared-back routine, consisting of a gentle cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen (only in the morning) to genuinely assess how the moisturizer worked. Each time I’ve applied the gel cream formula, I’ve been amazed by how my skin quickly goes from dull and dry to hydrated, glowy, and plump.\n<\/p>\n

      Since the moisturizer is so lightweight, I was worried about how long the hydrating benefits would last. However, even after I subjected my skin to stripping airplane air during back-to-back flights, my chronically dry skin still felt moisturized and looked dewy. One thing to note is that this product has a noticeable fragrance (likely due to the Japanese wild rose). This wasn’t a turn-off for me, but it may be for some.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

      The Value: A luxury investment <\/span><\/h2>\n

      Tatcha is a luxury skincare brand, so each product’s price points reflect that. The full-size jar costs $72, and the value-size jar (which contains 2.5 ounces of cream) costs $89. Though the moisturizer is a bit pricy, Tatcha prides itself on crafting every formula in Japan with leading scientists. Because of this, I feel I can use the product confidently, knowing that a lot of thought and care went into formulating the moisturizer. Plus, the results I’ve seen make it worth using daily. However, if you’re not ready to commit to one of the large moisturizers, you can purchase a mini 0.34-ounce jar for $23.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
