When Tatcha launched this moisturizer, Sephora could barely keep it from flying off the shelves, which piqued my interest right off the bat. Then there was a little bit of judging a book by its cover. Every Tatcha product comes in the most ridiculously luxe packaging (I mean, this moisturizer is accompanied by a tiny gold spoon -- a tiny gold spoon! How do you top that?). I find Tatcha products to be so irresistibly pretty that when I see one, my fingers start to twitch a little, and before I know it, my wallet's in my hands, and I'm handing a wad of cash to the nice lady behind the register.
Fortunately, neither appearances nor the hype have steered me wrong. The Water Cream performed every bit as well as its bespoke, gold-adorned jar led me to believe it would. The ultra-lightweight formula melts into skin at first touch. Yet, unlike some gel moisturizers that skimp on the moisture, this one serves up a hefty dose of hydration that continues to work all day or night (I even use it as a night cream). The barely-there texture also allows me to apply it without the fear of clogging my pores. Not to mention, the refreshing feel has been a godsend during the stifling dog days of summer. And then there are the perks I can't see or feel -- namely, the cocktail of botanicals designed to smooth skin, control oil and add radiance. As with most worthy love interests, when you find the right one, you just know. --Mary Squillace
