As someone with combination skin, it’s common for me to have a breakout here and there. However, when I experienced some severe pore clogging, I needed to get down to the bottom of it.

I was doing all of the “right” things: getting facial treatments on a regular basis, forcing myself to drink tons of water, and staying away from sweets. The only change to my skincare regimen was the luxury La Mere Crème de la Mer I had splurged on and realized it was the source of my clogged and congested skin.
After switching it out for what is now my hero moisturizer, the Tatcha Water Cream, everything changed instantly. The lightweight gel formula made my skin feel less textured, and my shine was under control after one use. Now I’m convinced that Tatcha skincare is some of the best out there, and the beauty editors at Insider agree.

The Tatcha Water Cream is lightweight with a gel-like consistency that absorbs almost instantly. I use it twice daily after my regular cleanser, toner, and serum routine. It doesn’t clog my pores, and it leaves my face with a clean but hydrated sensation.
I have combination skin, so it’s almost inevitable for me to develop that T-zone shine by the end of the day, but my T-zone has been less oily, and my usual shine is much more under control since I started using the Water Cream.
According to Dr. Marisa Garshick, MD, FAAD at the Manhattan Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery Centers, the Tatcha Water Cream is a good option for those with acne issues as it contains ingredients that help reduce oil production. “The Japanese Wild Rose extract is thought to improve the appearance of the pores and skin texture, while the Japanese Leopard Lily may be useful for oil control,” Dr. Garshick told Insider. “If someone is looking for a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer that is paraben and sulfate-free, it is certainly a good option to consider.”
Suppose wrinkles or signs of aging are a concern to you. In that case, it’s good to note that this cream could be helpful as a prevention tool, as Dr. Garshick explained that the “various antioxidants included in this moisturizer through the Hadasei-3 complex are a great way to help fight free radical damage to help with skin aging.”
Cons to consider
Despite my great experience with the moisturizer, Tatcha’s Water Cream still includes ingredients such as dimethicone and silicone that can possibly cause breakouts for users. Dr. Garshick also noted that those with sensitive skin should be cautious when using this product since the various botanical ingredients and natural fragrances might cause contact dermatitis, which can appear in the form of redness, dryness, or itching.

While the Tatcha Water Cream gives my skin the right levels of hydration when the weather is warm out, it is still considered a relatively lightweight moisturizer, and it may not be hydrating enough for those with ultra-dry skin or for cold-weather months. If that sounds like you, I recommend the Tatcha Dewy Skin Cream instead for maximum hydration.
Needless to say, the Tatcha Water Cream is also not cheap: a 50ml bottle costs $72.
Possible alternatives to the Water Cream
While the Water Cream is worth the cost, in my opinion, there are still some cheaper alternatives that may serve the same purpose and generate similar results. Dermalogica’s Clear Start Soothing Hydrating Lotion, which costs $25 for 59ml at Ulta, is also a very lightweight moisturizer that is paraben and sulfate-free as well as silicone-free.
Another similar option is Innisfree’s Jeju Cherry Blossom Jelly Cream, which is also a lightweight, jelly-like formula, though the product does include fragrances that could irritate sensitive skin. A 50ml bottle costs $26 at Innisfree.
The bottom line
As someone with acne-prone skin, I have a hard time finding moisturizers that don’t clog my pores or cause breakouts. Tatcha’s lightweight Water Cream has a gentle formula that hydrates my skin without clogging it up, and for that reason, it’ll remain a staple in my warm-weather skincare regimen.
