As soon as 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’ll admit that, after years of coming up short, I’ve been resigned to the fact that I probably never will. So when I heard about Tatcha’s dewy skin products, my usual skepticism set in.
But as the buzz about Tatcha seemed to build (read: I was seeing rave reviews everywhere), I got intrigued. Could this hydrating line really live up to the hype? Could this finally be my answer to skin care for cold weather? With winter fast approaching, I decided to give the Tatcha dewy serum, skin cream, and serum stick a try—but not before tapping board-certified dermatologist Rachel Nazarian, MD, FAAD, for her takes.

The bottom line? The ingredients in Tatcha’s dewy skin care are all about maintaining moisture, Dr. Nazarian says, which makes it a solid solution for my cold-weather skin struggles. Bonus: These three powerhouse products are bundled together at a discount than if you were to purchase separately.
Eager to curtail my dry flakes ASAP, I asked Dr. Nazarian how quickly I could expect to see results. “Within days of changing your skin regimen to a smart, well-chosen one, you’ll feel the difference,” she says. “Benefits continue to increase for weeks until the barrier is fully healed.”
She wasn’t lying—after just a few days slathering on Tatcha’s dewy skin care, I was blown away by the changes. My dry patches (usually so stubborn) began 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 summer ended, no greasy or overly heavy feels included. Finally, my skin had the hydration it desperately needed.
According to Dr. Nazarian, the secret’s in the sauce. “Hyaluronic acid and squalane are found in each of these products—so [the formula is] staying true to ingredients our skin uses naturally to maintain moisture,” she says. “They also have their own naturally-derived antioxidants and anti-inflammatory extracts, which can be useful for people suffering with 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 as the temperatures drop. I start my morning with a swipe of the dewy serum, followed up by the dewy skin cream, and in just two simple steps (rather than the endless layers of products that defined many past winters), it’s like I’m hand-delivering intense moisture straight to every pore. And when I need a midday refresh, I apply the serum stick under my eyes and can literally feel it plump and smooth my sensitive skin.
Simply put, Tatcha’s dewy skin set is my official skin-saver for the cooler months ahead—and it might just be your ticket to less dry skin and *way* more glow this season, too.
