Description
The DIVE-IN Serum is the product most people think of when they hear Torriden. It is a clear, watery serum that the brand describes as an inner-moisture serum built on a complex of five types of low-molecular hyaluronic acid, designed to hydrate skin in layers and help it hold on to moisture for hours.
Its popularity comes down to feel: it spreads in seconds, absorbs without leaving a sticky film and sits comfortably under moisturizer, sunscreen and makeup. The formula also carries a handful of calming ingredients, which is why it is often recommended as a first serum for anyone building a simple K-Beauty routine.
Key ingredients
- Five forms of hyaluronic acid – including sodium hyaluronate, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, sodium acetylated hyaluronate and sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer.
- Panthenol and allantoin – for a soothed, comfortable feel.
- Madecassoside – a compound from centella asiatica.
- Ceramide NP, beta-glucan and trehalose – supporting hydration and barrier comfort.
How to use
- Cleanse and tone.
- Apply an appropriate amount evenly over the face.
- Pat gently to help it absorb, then follow with moisturizer to seal in hydration.
Who it suits
Suitable for all skin types according to the listing. Oily and combination skin often use it with only a light gel on top, while dry skin benefits from following it with a richer cream. It is a common pick for sensitive, easily reactive skin.
Good to know
Size: 50 ml. Hyaluronic acid serums work best on slightly damp skin and when followed by a moisturizer, especially in dry Canadian winters.
As with any new skincare product, patch-test on a small area (for example behind the ear or along the jaw) for 24–48 hours before using it on the whole face. Stop using it if redness, itching or stinging persists, and avoid applying it to broken or irritated skin. Always check the full ingredient list on the packaging you receive, as formulas can be updated by the brand.
