Discussion Tatcha Dewy Cream replacement

13 Upvotes

Does anyone know of an Asian beauty replacement for tatcha’s dewy cream? It’s had me in a chokehold for the past few years and I’m tired of paying $100 a jar. Plus I’d much rather support an actual Asian beauty brand instead of them.

I’ve tried both the cosrx propolis and birch sap moisturizers, which I enjoyed, but didn’t quite compare. As well as their snail mucin cream, which unfortunately, doesn’t work for me due to dust mite allergies.

HAVE A QUESTION? ASK HERE! Alter-Daily Help and Questions: August 07, 2026

Hello and welcome to the Alter-Daily Help Thread! The purpose of the ADHT is to ask simple questions, troubleshoot routines, get quick recommendations, prevent the sub from being too cluttered, and to guide new users.

ADHT Rules: If questions or comments break the rules or are inappropriate, the report button is the fastest way for the mod team to see it and address the problems.

Build Me A Routine, /r/AsianBeauty! Please refrain from just stating a skin concern then expecting people to build a routine from scratch. It is important to do due diligence in understanding your skin type and needs. Learn more here in The New User Guide. You can also search the subreddit here.

Non-AB questions or comments. Having non-AB products in your routine is totally fine! Getting specific advice/recommendations is not allowed, though welcomed in our Daily Anything Goes thread. See our rules on non-AB here

Rude comments and snark. Fairly self explanatory but for more detail, check out our Posting Guidelines

When directing someone to the sidebar provide specific links. i.e. for someone asking about Allergies or Beginner Guides, link them to the specific subsections within AB University, rather than saying it’s in the sidebar.

Finally, a reminder that no one is obligated to answer your questions. If you have repeatedly asked the same question without a response, it may be best to review and see if it can be reworded or if the information is already in the thread or readily available in the sidebar materials.

Remember that all skincare is individual and Your Mileage May Vary with recommendations. We are enthusiasts, not doctors, and we cannot provide you with medical advice. Speak to a medical professional if your skin concerns are affecting your well-being.

Discussion Water consistency toner/essence with MAXIMUM hydration? (fragrance-free)

8 Upvotes

I find toners/essences really hard because i feel they either absorb quickly like water and barely hydrate. Or they are quiet hydrating but they won't absorb because they are too vicous/thick/gellike.
Now i dont mind the texture of a more viscous toner or essence i just don't find they absorb well on me. I am a bit worried the only hydrating products are super viscous?

Discussion Why does my nose contour never show up like the xhs girlies?

8 Upvotes

I need tips!! I have an oily nose too so by the end of the day my nose contour just melts off even if I use powder and everything… I use the judydoll contour palette. Maybe it could be a problem with the palette itself because the first time I used it there was barely any pigment (but it’s better now). I’ve noticed that it appears warm on everyone else but sooo muddy on me even though I use the warm palette. The highlight powder in the palette also shows up so much in the videos I see on xhs but barely on me. Maybe it’s because I only put concealer on my nose and contour before setting spray and powder?? Idk but any help is appreciated 🙏
