What owners single out
In their words
“I’ve been using Tatcha Dewy Skin Cream for years, and it’s one of the few skincare products I consistently repurchase. My skin leans dry, so this cream gives me the perfect balance of hydration and glow without feeling too heavy as long as I use a small amount. A little truly goes a long way. I apply a tiny amount after my nighttime shower and again in the morning before makeup, and one jar lasts ”

“This is a very nice moisturizer if you want super dewy and luminous skin all day long. My skin sometimes is on the oily side so with this moisturizer my face can look and feel a little greasy. I actually like to add a tiny thin layer underneath my foundation for a true dewy look. It does not pill and sits nicely on my skin. There is added fragrance which I’m not a fan of but it does smell nice.”
