Tbh I bought this mostly for the packaging, but also I had a Sephora gift card + it was 15% off
(I ended up paying $13 cash, yay)
Spatula to scoop out the moisturizer
I'm almost out! I feel like I haven't had it that long, but I guess it's been almost 2 months
Gotta hand it to Tatcha for the nice packaging

Tatcha is generally pretty overpriced, but this is their cheapest moisturizer aside from the Water Gel Moisturizer (which has alcohol as one of the top 5 ingredients, hence why I haven't tried it yet)
I have been using this as a night cream, bc it's surprisingly moisturizing and smooth. I think a little bit can go a long way, but I like to apply a lot of moisturizer just in case. It is indeed lightweight, mostly fragrance free. In terms of anti-aging it doesn't perform as well as my retinol moisturizer from Paula's Choice, but it moisturizes the skin enough where I don't feel dry/flaky in the morning.
Would I recommend it?
If you can afford it, yes.
I've also been using the Tatcha Camellia Cleansing Oil, which is supposed to be amazing. I think it is good if you've never tried Shu Uemura, full review soon (:
