🧴 Tall Drink of Water vs. Cha Cha Chaga: What’s the Difference (and Do You Need Both)?

Short answer? They’re not competing—they’re tag-teaming your glow.

Let’s break down the difference between Tall Drink of Water and Cha Cha Chaga, so you know which one’s right for your skin… or why your routine might just need both.

💧 Tall Drink of Water = Hydration Booster

Think of Tall Drink of Water like a thirst-quenching serum. It’s lightweight, bouncy, and packed with moisture magnets like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and panthenol. It sinks in fast and gives your skin that dewy, plump, well-rested glow (even if you're not actually well-rested).

Best for:

Dehydrated skin that feels tight or parched

Dull or tired-looking skin

Anyone who wants lightweight hydration without heaviness

Great under makeup or SPF

When to use it:
Right after cleansing, before moisturizer. Morning and night.

🍄 Cha Cha Chaga = Moisture + Antioxidant Protection

Cha Cha Chaga is your moisturizer. It’s thicker than Tall Drink of Water, with barrier-repairing and calming ingredients like chaga mushroom, tamanu, sea buckthorn, and sunflower oil. It locks in moisture and protects your skin from environmental stress like pollution, weather, and stress (yes, stress).

Best for:

  • Skin that’s sensitive, red, or stressed

  • Dry or combo skin needing nourishment

  • People using actives like retinol or exfoliants

  • Skin that just needs a hug

When to use it:
After your serum—morning, night, or both.

💡 Do I Need Both?

If your skin is both dry and dehydrated (aka: tight and flaky), yes—you need both. Here’s how they work together:

  1. Tall Drink of Water pulls water into the skin.

  2. Cha Cha Chaga seals it in and soothes everything down.

They’re the skin-glow duo you didn’t know you needed—hydration first, nourishment second. Think of it as layering for your face, just like you would in fall: tank top first, cozy sweater on top.

💬 TL;DR

  • Tall Drink of Water = hydrating serum (light, plumping)

  • Cha Cha Chaga = antioxidant moisturizer (calming, sealing)

  • Use them together if your skin feels dry, tight, or easily irritated
