Tatcha Balanced Pore Perfecting Water Gel
With temps climbing, you’re probably dreading reaching for a thick, rich cream come nighttime. Sure, you want to keep your visage in tip-top shape, but if you’re anything like us, you want to lighten things up. But you don’t want to lose out on powerful ingredients and major skin-care benefits, either, right? That’s why we’re swapping out our moisturizer for the Tatcha Balanced Pore Perfecting Water Gel ($68), a new release from the San Francsico-based beauty brand thats’s already a go-to for makeup artists and beauty addicts alike.
Tatcha’s latest moisturizer refreshes and clarifies while keeping things balanced. Its lightweight texture and cooling effect are perfect for summer, since the extra sun (sorry not sorry for those beach trips) can leave your skin parched. Bonus: the Balanced Pore Perfecting Water Gel is non-irritating, non-sensitizing, dermatologist tested, and noncomedogenic, too. But what’s inside? Japanese dokudami and leopard lilly, ingredients known to keep shine and blemishes at bay. And after 28 days of use, Tatcha promises that its Japanese wild rose will tighten and refine pores, too. It’s perfect under makeup or on its own, since its absorbs quickly and leaves skin with a petal-soft finish that looks natural and fresh, no matter how high the temps climb (though if you’re getting a touch shiny, Tatcha has got you covered). And as one final glam touch, the formula in this one-of-a-kind moisturizer is infused with 23-karat gold, which leaves skin with a subtle radiance that’s perfect for selfies and for faking that signature SoCal summertime glow.
Available at Sephora.
