## What the research says

- A single application of a moisturizing fluid containing hyaluronic acid 1%, glycerin 5%, and Centella asiatica stem cells extract significantly increased skin hydration by 29% and reduced transepidermal water loss at 24 hours compared to baseline and an untreated control site in twenty healthy women. ([Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/))
- Petrolatum-based skin protectants demonstrated protection against irritants and maceration while providing skin hydration, whereas dimethicone and zinc oxide products showed varying or limited performance across parameters among 18 healthy volunteers compared to positive and negative controls. ([Ostomy/wound Management, 2005](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16439809/))
- Topical indigo leaf extract enhances skin wound healing by reducing dermal inflammation, decreasing MDA levels, lowering MMP-2 and MMP-9, and increasing antioxidant enzyme activities and TGF-β1 levels in rats compared to untreated controls. ([Journal of Applied Biomedicine, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36708717/))
- Topical application of 0.1% hyaluronic acid formulations of different molecular weights led to significant improvements in skin hydration and elasticity, with low-molecular-weight formulations also significantly reducing wrinkle depth in seventy-six female subjects compared to a vehicle control. ([Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2011](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22052267/))
- Topical application of hyaluronic acid in conjunction with free gingival graft significantly reduced donor site postoperative pain until day 7 compared to normal saline, with no significant differences in graft dimensions or patient satisfaction. ([Clinical Oral Investigations, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34623507/))
- Treatment with a hyaluronic acid-containing mouth rinse or topical gel led to significant lesion reduction, pain relief, and normalization of lesion color in adult patients with minor recurrent aphthous stomatitis, with the gel formulation showing an earlier healing onset at 3 days. ([BMC Oral Health, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31311529/))

## Questions and answers

### How well does Tatcha Indigo Overnight Repair work for combination skin?

Tatcha Indigo Overnight Repair offers moderate moisture and barrier support for combination skin using glycerin and ceramides, but it lacks ingredients to manage oily shine. A better product for this skin type needs effective brightening and moisturizing ingredients to reduce oily shine without causing irritation.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### Which ingredients make this cream a good fit for combination skin?

Glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, and ceramide NG make this cream a good fit for combination skin because they provide balanced moisture and strengthen your skin barrier. However, a moisturizing treatment for this skin type also needs ingredients that help control oily shine.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### What does Indigo Extract do for combination skin?

Indigo Extract may not be the best fit for combination skin because it is typically studied for soothing very dry, thick patches rather than balancing oily and dry areas. This type of skin needs gentle, lightweight hydration and mild smoothing ingredients to keep the face soft and comfortable without feeling heavy.
Sources: [Dermatology, 2007](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17341866/), [Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2016](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26954317/)

### What does Hyaluronic Acid do for combination skin?

Hyaluronic acid is a great fit for combination skin because it quenches dry areas with a boost of hydration while keeping oily zones balanced. Regular use helps smooth out fine lines and makes your skin feel soft and plump without causing irritation.
Sources: [Dermatology and Therapy, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34176098/), [Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2011](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22052267/)

### Where does this cream go in a skincare routine for combination skin?

This moisturizing treatment goes in the evening routine after cleansing and before your final moisturizer, or as your nighttime moisturizer. Combination skin needs a product that provides balanced hydration without feeling heavy, while also helping to control shine in oily areas.

### Can I use it with retinol, and in what order?

Yes, you can use this treatment with retinol by applying it after your retinol step in your evening routine. Using a moisturizer with ceramides helps support your skin barrier while you use retinol.
Sources: [Cutis, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17121065/), [Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2012](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22648223/)

### How often should I use this cream?

You can use this moisturizing treatment daily in your evening routine, applying it after your cleansing toner. Daily application helps keep your skin feeling soft and smooth while supporting moisture and barrier strength. To work best for combination skin, this type of product also needs ingredients that help control oily shine.
Sources: [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32141711/), [Health Science Reports, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34141902/)

### Can it clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for combination skin?

This moisturizer is unlikely to cause breakouts for combination skin, as review complaints about breakouts are low and it contains no harsh or irritating ingredients. However, it lacks targeted ingredients for oily shine, so combination skin needs lightweight, oil-controlling ingredients to manage excess oil.

### Can I use it around the eyes or on my body?

You can use this moisturizing treatment around your eyes and on your body because its gentle formula is safe and unlikely to cause irritation. However, a product for combination skin needs targeted oil control ingredients to better manage shine in oily areas.

### Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Cetyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
