Reviews
My skin drinks this up
"This is exactly what I want from a moisturiser lightweight, sinks in fast, and doesn’t leave that heavy or greasy feel underneath makeup or other products. No breakouts at all, which is always my first test. Pores genuinely look more refined after a few uses, and my skin just looks smoother overall. It hydrates without feeling like it’s sitting on top of your face, which is such a fine line to get right. This one’s staying in my routine for sure."
My fave moisturiser!
"The perfect moisturiser for combo skin, much nicer than the purple one! Super hydrating and preps my skin well before putting makeup on!"
Love this 💗
"Love this ! As with all Tatcha this cream is wonderful for me ⭐️"
Hydration + Glowing skin
"I recently started using this water cream and my skin feels amazing. It gives you hydration and smooth whilst giving that dewy finish."
Oily skin must have moisturizer
"Absolutely love Tatcha Water Cream it’s perfect for my oily /acne prone skin although it’s suitable for all skin types! This luxurious gel type moisturiser clarifies and refines skin with pure, powerful Japanese botanicals: Japanese wild rose visibly tightens pores and smooths skin texture; Japanese leopard lily helps control excess oil and purify skin by supporting natural skin turnover leaving me with a radiant skin glow"
Skin improved massively
"After trying the memory cream and loving it so much, I thought no other product can beat it. But then I got the water cream and I cannot describe how much improvement i see in my skin, on texture and hydration, super impressed."
Nice but not worth the price
"It's nice enough, but really can't justify the price for what it is"
Love it

Absolutely amazing i love it.
