Once the temperature starts to drop, I brace myself for the inevitable: dry, flaky skin that no amount of moisturizer seems to fix. I’ve always struggled to find products that actually hydrate my skin—and I have to admit, after years of coming up short, I’ve resigned myself to the fact that I probably never will. So when I heard about Tatcha’s dewy skin products, my usual skepticism arose.
But as the buzz about Tatcha seemed to grow (read: I saw rave reviews). everywhere), I became intrigued. Could this moisturizing line really live up to the hype? Could this finally be my answer to cold weather skin care? With winter quickly approaching, I decided to give the Tatcha dew serum, skin cream, and serum stick a try, but not before speaking to a board-certified dermatologist. Rachel NazianMD, FAAD, for her recordings.
The end result? The ingredients in Tatcha’s dewy skin care are all about retaining moisture, says Dr. Nazarian, which makes it a solid solution for my cold weather skin problems. Bonus: These three powerful products are bundled together and on sale for $48 off until November 1.

She wasn’t lying: After just a few days of using Tatcha’s dewy skincare, I was blown away by the changes. My dry patches (usually so persistent) started to disappear and my skin looked noticeably more radiant and hydrated. The combination of these three products gave me that dewy glow I’d been missing since the end of summer, without feeling greasy or overly heavy. Finally my skin got the hydration it so desperately needed.
According to Dr. Nazarian, the secret is in the sauce. “Hyaluronic acid and squalane are in each of these products, so [the formula is] staying true to the ingredients our skin naturally uses to retain moisture,” she says. “They also have their own natural antioxidants and anti-inflammatory extracts, which can be helpful for those suffering from irritated or inflamed and sensitive skin. “
Now I’m a few weeks into my new routine – and the real game-changer is how well these products fit into my day and keep my skin glowing hour after hour, even when the temperature drops. I start my morning with a swipe of the dewy serum, followed by the dewy skin cream, and in just two simple steps (instead of the endless layers of products that defined many past winters), it’s like hand-applying intense moisture straight to every pore. And when I need a refresher in the afternoon, I apply the serum stick under my eyes and literally feel it plump and smooth on my sensitive skin.
Simply put, Tatcha’s dewy skin set is my official skin saver for the colder months ahead — and it could be your ticket to less dry skin and *much* more glow this season, too.
