Overview
By now, I think it’s safe to say we've all heard of Tatcha and especially their cult-favorite Tatcha Water Cream. But is it actually worth the hype?
I’ll be honest : I hate spending more than $30 on skincare. But this? I truly believe it’s worth every single penny. Let’s dive in.
PROS
- Feels incredible on the skin - lightweight, refreshing, and instantly hydrating.
- Anti-aging benefits thanks to Tatcha’s signature blend of Japanese botanicals.
- Visibly refines pores for a smoother-looking complexion.
- Delivers the perfect glow radiant without looking greasy.
- A dream under makeup keeps makeup looking fresh and lasting all day.
- Non-greasy, a major win for someone like me who usually feels oily after moisturizing.
- Versatile for different skin types while it’s recommended for oily/combination skin, it also works beautifully on drier skin types.
- Ideal year-round hydrating enough for winter, lightweight enough for summer.
- Formulated with high-quality ingredients you can feel good about.
- Suitable for both day and night use, a true multi-tasker.
- Balances oil and hydration minimizes excess oil without drying the skin.
CONS
- Contains fragrance though surprisingly, even my sensitive skin tolerated it well.
- $72 price tag but honestly, I get it for the quality.
- Expires after 6 months something to keep in mind if you’re a slow finisher.
Final Thoughts
This is hands down the best moisturizer I’ve ever tried. I've gone through three full-sized jars, one value size, and one mini and I keep coming back. It’s my holy grail.
I give it a solid A+ or a 10/10, absolutely amazing.
If you're curious but hesitant to commit to the $72 price, I recommend waiting for a Sephora or Tatcha sale, or picking up the travel size first. You won't regret it!

Influencer4 hr. agoTbh, i don't get the hype around this cream. $72 for a moisturizer? That's a hard pass for me. I mea, it's just a cream, right? Influencer4 hr. agoExactly! I've tried it before and I don't think it's that speacial. It's nice, sure, but I can get smth that works just as well for a fraction of the price. I don't see how it justifies that hefty price tag Influencer4 hr. ago@Influencer Yeah the price is ridiculous. There are plenty of drugstore moisturizers that feel just as good. Influencer4 hr. ago@Influencer Also i don't love that it has fragrance, especially when so many sensitive skin types can react to that Influencer4 hr. ago@Influencer Totally! And the fact that it expires after 6 months? That's just annoying. I take forever to finish a moisturizer. It's frustrating to pay that much and have it go bad so quickly

Influencer4 hr. agoI totally get the price concern but it's honestly so worth it. The texture feels amazing like it sinks in immediately and gives that perfect dewy finish without feeling greasy. It's one of the few moisturizers that really controls my oil while still hydrating Influencer4 hr. agoExactly I think the botanical in it make a big difference, especially if you’re looking for anti-aging benefits. I've noticed smoother skin and a more even complexion since using it consistently. Influencer4 hr. agoPlus, it works so well under makeup, which is a huge plus Influencer4 hr. agoI'm with you guys. It’s been such a game-changer. It really balances hydration and oil without feeling heavy. And the fragrance isn't that bad as it's subtle, not overwhelming. I dont even notice it after a while. Influencer4 hr. ago@Influencer Exactly! It's not just about moisturizing. It's about skin health. I feel like the botanical help keep my skin calm and balanced. I've tried other products that claim to do the same thing, but nothing has given me the same results Influencer4 hr. agoYeah I've noticed a huge difference in my pores. They look visibly smaller and my skin feels smoother overall. It's one of the few moisturizers that actually refines my texture. Really impressed Influencer4 hr. agoAnd it's a multi-tasker too!!! You can use ot both day and nigh, which is so convenient. It’s rare to find a product that works for everything
