Matcha Calming Cream

Q1. Is the TIRTIR Matcha Calming Cream suitable for sensitive and redness-prone skin?
Yes. The TIRTIR Matcha Calming Cream is specifically designed for sensitive, redness-prone, and easily irritated skin. Its star ingredient, Matcha-PDRN (10,000 ppm), works to calm irritation and shield the skin from external aggressors, while the Phytomucin 5 Complex and GlucanREAL create a protective moisture barrier. Clinical testing confirms a 23.6% improvement in redness over 24 hours, making it an evidence-backed solution for reactive skin.

Q2. What is the texture like, and how does it feel on the skin?
The TIRTIR Matcha Calming Cream features a unique bouncy pudding texture — lightweight, cushiony, and deeply hydrating without feeling heavy or greasy. It adheres seamlessly to the skin on application, melting in smoothly while delivering a noticeable boost in elasticity and hydration. It is suitable for layering under makeup or SPF in the morning, and as a standalone moisturiser at night.

Q3. How does this cream help with skin elasticity?
The cream contains Reallagen (fermented collagen) and Pepta-13 Complex, a specialised 13-amino-acid peptide blend, which work together to restore the skin's structural integrity and refine texture. Clinical testing by the Korea Institute of Dermatological Sciences showed a 1.92% improvement in skin elasticity restoration after just one use, with continued improvement expected through ongoing application.

Q4. Can I use this cream both morning and evening?
Yes. The TIRTIR Matcha Calming Cream is gentle enough for twice-daily use. In the morning, it primes and protects the skin under SPF or makeup, providing a hydrating base while its redness-shielding properties keep the complexion calm throughout the day. In the evening, it supports overnight repair and barrier reinforcement. Its non-occlusive pudding formula makes it comfortable for all-day and overnight wear.

Q5. How does this cream differ from the TIRTIR Matcha Skin Toner?
The TIRTIR Matcha Skin Toner and Matcha Calming Cream are complementary products designed to work together as part of the TIRTIR Matcha Line. The toner (Step 1) focuses on pH balancing, deep hydration via Micro Dipping Technology, and immediate redness calming after cleansing. The cream (Step 2) seals in moisture, restores elasticity through peptides and fermented collagen, and provides a 24-hour protective shield against recurring redness. Together, they form a complete redness-management and barrier-strengthening skincare system.
