Tidal - Enzyme Water Cream

I’ve used this product since 2019 and have gone through a few bottles and it worked super well for me. I used to love the moisturizer so much but when I purchased it this time it sucked. I bought this bottle back in the summer time and had no issues at first. Recently I noticed weird white clumps and odd textures within the cream. Then I smelled it and it was awful, it’s literally gone rancid. From what I understand they reformulated this moisturizer but they messed it up big time. I’ve never had this kind of issue with my previous bottles. Don’t buy this until something is done about this issue because you will just be wasting your money.

loved the original formula

Tidal Brightening Enzyme Water Cream used to be fantastic, light & gel like, refreshing and did wonders for brightening my skin and helping get rid of sun spots, age spots, acne scars, etc. and it plumped my skin like no other moisturizer. It was absolutely magical and everything I wanted in a moisturizer. This new reformulated cream is the opposite and it pills up! If you add on anything else before or after using Tidal it pills up, this is incredibly annoying. I asked why they reformulated it from the original fabulous formula and they said they had had complaints. Well, this reformulated version is terrible and not worth trying sadly. I hope they go back to the original formula and let everyone know so I can go back to using it.

something is off. manufacturing?

This used to be my favorite face cream. Something is off. Last two bottles have gone bad! Smell is awful. This breaks my heart.

Opened it about a month after I received it and it had turned a brownish green color. Not the normal blue. It smells rotten or rancid and pills up on my face even if it’s the only layer I’m wearing. Incredibly disgusting smell. For the price point on this, I expect a lot more from this brand. Consistency does not seem to be something they’re nailed down yet.

Beautiful moisturizer

This is a gorgeous moisturizer. I have bought at least 6 large jars, and have bought it for friends and family. I wear it under foundation or tinted moisturizer or alone, and it exfoliates gently as the day/ night goes on so that your skin is smooth.

Rancid

Product goes rancid!!!!! After awhile it turns green and brownish and smells like vomit. It smelled so rancid I had to throw it out. What a waste of money. Do not buy!!

Great results but stinky

Leaves my skin really silky and smooth. But it stinks like ammonia so I only wear it at night. The odor eventually dissipates after a half hour or so. They need to do something about the stink.

Moldy!

First jar great. 2nd and 3rd moldy when opened. Would never put on face. Don't buy.

Curdled and smelled bad after about a dozen uses.

Bought this after watching a beauty blogger rave about it. I’m just now getting back into skincare, trying to save what’s left of my face. J/K. I used this about dozen nights, always using the paddle. Tonight I opened the jar and it looked and smelled curdled, like green algae by the edge of the pond at the farm. What on earth?

Purchased this moister to use at night and it felt like it left my skin very dry. I love Sunday Riley for her oils which have helped my skin tremendously, so I was disappointed in the product. I didn’t return just because I wanted to try the product for the entire duration but never purchased it again. Works for some but unfortunately not for me.

Finally gave Tidal a go

I have been on the fence about buying this moisturizer for years. I love Sunday Riley’s face oils (UFO and Juno are HG’s) but I just never felt compelled to take the jump on any of the moisturizers. I needed a light moisturizer for summer and decided to finally give Tidal a try. Tidal goes on smooth and absorbs quickly. Leaves my face feeling soft and looking healthy. I noticed the brightening claims-slightly. My only negative is that it does not moisturizer as deeply as other water creams I have tried. I would find at the end of the day, my face was a little thirsty. When I coupled Tidal with UFO, much better results but alone, I found myself needing more moisture, even in humid conditions. I will not hesitate to purchase again for the warmer months. Definitely not a winter moisturizer for me but a great option for summer.

Product misformulated

I’m not sure if the product was misformulated or if a quality check was completed prior to distribution but this moisturizer is THE WORST I’ve ever purchased. The product arrived separated, part gel and part yellow/playdoh consistency. Secondly, it smelt like squid. I’ve used several unpleasant smelling skincare such as SKII, beauty counter, etc.. but this one absolutely INTOLERABLE. Lastly, separates and flakes off your skin. This is going back for suurrrrreeeeee
