There are\u00a0some\u00a0brands that, whenever\u00a0they launch a new moisturizer,\u00a0immediately\u00a0have my attention.\u00a0Tatcha\u00a0is absolutely one of\u00a0them<\/a>\u00a0\u2014\u00a0mostly because it\u00a0doesn\u2019t\u00a0happen all that often.\u00a0In other words,\u00a0when\u00a0Tatcha does\u00a0drop something new, it feels like a Big Deal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve\u00a0long admired many of the brand\u2019s cult-favorite formulas\u00a0\u2014\u00a0The Water Cream<\/a>,\u00a0Dewy Skin Cream<\/a>\u00a0(along\u00a0with the lighter\u00a0Dewy Skin Moisturizer<\/a>\u00a0that dropped last year), and\u00a0The Indigo Overnight Cream.<\/a>\u00a0All\u00a0four\u00a0seem to permanently live on bestseller lists, and\u00a0for good reason.\u00a0So\u00a0when I heard about the\u00a0latest launch,\u00a0The Longevity Memory Cream<\/a>,\u00a0I was\u00a0intrigued.\u00a0Firstly,\u00a0by\u00a0its\u00a0unique texture. Secondly, it\u2019s\u00a0anchored in the promise of visibly healthier skin and inspired by Okinawa, Japan\u2019s\u00a0blue zone,\u00a0where people live significantly longer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ahead,\u00a0I\u00a0share\u00a0my full review after putting\u00a0Tatcha\u2019s\u00a0new Longevity Memory Cream<\/a> to\u00a0the test\u00a0over a month-long trial period.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What is Tatcha\u2019s Longevity Memory Cream and what are the benefits?<\/h2>\n

As the name suggests, The Longevity Memory Cream<\/a> is\u00a0rooted in\u00a0improving elasticity and\u00a0resilience; think skin barrier support\u00a0(keeping moisture\u00a0in and\u00a0bacteria firmly out),\u00a0and\u00a0long-lasting,\u00a0comforting\u00a0hydration.\u00a0The hero ingredient is the\u00a0Okinawa\u00a0cellescence\u00a0complex, a\u00a0trifecta\u00a0of Okinawan botanicals\u00a0including\u00a0noni juice\u00a0(an antioxidant-rich, fermented superfood native to Southeast Asia), shell ginger, and\u00a0Shikuwasa\u00a0lime\u00a0\u2014 all three of which are\u00a0also found in\u00a0Tatcha\u2019s\u00a0Longevity Serum<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Longevity is somewhat of a new beauty buzzword these days, and you\u00a0wouldn\u2019t\u00a0necessarily be wrong to think of it as a rebranding of \u201canti-aging.\u201d However,\u00a0I\u00a0believe\u00a0that\u00a0the\u00a0term\u00a0\u201clongevity\u201d\u00a0is more\u00a0about\u00a0maintaining\u00a0healthy skin habits than turning back the clock;\u00a0IMO, as someone\u00a0who\u2019s\u00a0worked over a decade in beauty,\u00a0I\u2019d\u00a0like to reframe it as a focus on hydrated, brighter skin rather than waging war on wrinkles.\u00a0They\u2019re\u00a0totally\u00a0normal \u2014 and inevitable \u2014\u00a0after all.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Next, there\u2019s\u00a0hyaluronic\u00a0acid: We all know about this hydrating powerhouse, and how it draws moisture into the skin, increasing hydration levels. But this cream features\u00a0bio-fermented<\/em>\u00a0hyaluronic\u00a0acid. The fermentation process helps supercharge the ingredient so that it sinks into the skin faster and better than other forms of hyaluronic acid we know and love.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lastly, there\u2019s nonapeptide-1. Peptides are the building blocks for proteins, which give skin its supple look and feel.\u00a0These\u00a0work alongside the rest of the ingredients to smooth skin texture.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What makes\u00a0Tatcha\u2019s\u00a0Longevity Memory Cream\u00a0special?\u00a0\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Unlike most\u00a0Tatcha\u00a0moisturizers\u00a0I\u2019ve\u00a0tried,\u00a0The Longevity\u00a0Memory Cream\u00a0has a unique,\u00a0jelly-like\u00a0texture that\u00a0reminds me of pudding; perfectly set in its shape but with a soft, gel-like feel that breaks apart\u00a0as you scoop it out of the jar. This may be a projection, but\u00a0the bouncy texture of the cream itself is what my skin feels like after applying it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At first, this was something I\u00a0actually didn\u2019t\u00a0love;\u00a0it left a tacky residue that\u00a0I feared would sit atop my skin, rather than absorb fully.\u00a0However, once I take a\u00a0heaping spoonful and warm it up a bit in my hands, it sinks into my skin beautifully, leaving behind a radiant glow.\u00a0(Because of its semi-solid texture, this is a rare instance that I\u00a0actually use\u00a0the tiny\u00a0spoon\u00a0that\u00a0fancy face creams\u00a0like this tend to\u00a0come\u00a0with.)\u00a0<\/p>\n

I\u2019m\u00a0not the only one\u00a0obsessed\u00a0with\u00a0the sensory experience of The Longevity Memory Cream. \u201cThis is the memory foam of moisturizers,\u201d Refinery29 beauty director Jacqueline\u00a0Kilikita\u00a0adds. \u201cTruly \u2014 if I press my finger into it, it leaves an imprint. It eventually settles back into place, but the texture is unlike anything\u00a0I\u2019ve\u00a0tried before.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Besides this, the\u00a0ingredient nonapeptide-1 caught\u00a0her\u00a0attention, mainly because it supports the skin\u2019s natural ceramides.\u00a0\u201cWithout taking you back to biology class, ceramides act like glue between skin cells, keeping everything soft and intact rather than dry and flaky,\u201d says\u00a0Kilikita.\u00a0\u201cI always look for them in a moisturizer, so I love that this formula helps encourage them.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

What to know about Tatcha\u2019s Longevity Memory Cream<\/h2>\n

\u2022\u00a0Has a unique, gel-cream texture, like memory foam.\u00a0
\u2022\u00a0Contains\u00a0bio-fermented\u00a0hyaluronic\u00a0acid and\u00a0nonapeptide-1\u00a0for bouncy hydration and\u00a0a\u00a0supported skin barrier.\u00a0
\u2022\u00a0Suitable\u00a0for all skin types, including sensitive\u00a0skin.\u00a0<\/p>\n

How do you use\u00a0Tatcha\u2019s\u00a0Longevity Memory Cream and is it worth it?\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/h2>\n

The Longevity Memory Cream is suitable for morning\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>nighttime use, which\u00a0I\u2019m\u00a0here for since space on my bathroom counter is rare to come by. I especially love it for daytime as a makeup base, since it instantly plumps my skin and eradicates dry, textured patches\u00a0on\u00a0my\u00a0forehead,\u00a0creating\u00a0a smooth base for foundation and concealer.\u00a0Overnight, I apply a little extra, like a face mask,\u00a0and wake up with soft, supple skin.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kilikita\u00a0says\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0one of the best moisturizers\u00a0she\u2019s\u00a0used in a long time: \u201cMy skin is reactive and prone to redness \u2014 especially after cleansing \u2014 and I love how cooling this feels on contact.\u201d\u00a0She adds, \u201cUnlike many lotions in my collection, it\u00a0sinks in\u00a0quickly. One\u00a0spatula-full\u00a0is enough for my entire face and neck.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

As for the\u00a0long term\u00a0benefits of \u201cyouthful\u201d skin, time will only\u00a0tell.\u00a0I\u2019m\u00a0lucky that at 32, I\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0have fine lines and wrinkles to speak\u00a0of, but\u00a0I love\u00a0how\u00a0this fits\u00a0into my routine and addresses my primary skin goals of\u00a0increasing\u00a0hydration, brightening, and\u00a0minimizing\u00a0texture.\u00a0But how\u00a0does\u00a0<\/em>it fare on fine lines?\u00a0\u201cAt 33, I\u2019m starting to notice\u00a0some\u00a0under my eyes and around my mouth, and I can happily report this softens their appearance thanks to how hydrating it is,\u201d says\u00a0Kilikita. \u201cI notice it most when I\u2019m wearing makeup; it\u00a0doesn\u2019t\u00a0settle into creases in the same way.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAll in all,\u201d she adds, \u201cthis is my new favorite moisturizer, and I\u2019ll be using it down to the last drop \u2014 or blob.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

I\u00a0couldn\u2019t\u00a0agree more, and have gleaming, hydrated skin as the ultimate testimonial.<\/p>\n

Where can you get\u00a0Tatcha\u2019s\u00a0Longevity Memory Cream?\u00a0\u00a0<\/h2>\n
