What the product description says
“-Powerful moisturization increases the moisture content of the skin”
Source: STYLEKOREAN

This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.

The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water. When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job: betaine, glycerin.

This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: cholesterol, pentylene glycol.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide np, madecassoside, panthenol

    Nice hyaluronic acid, though I feel it’s a bit expensive for what it is. I have no complaints with this product, but have used cheaper ones with the same result.

    Leaves you feeling hydrated and sinks into your skin nicely with no residue left on the skin. I use it while the toner is still wet.

  • Lovin'· Mar 2024Recommends

    I loved this product but when my skin was damaged it did tingle a bit and once give me some redness

    But it's just like any hydrating soothing serum does the job .

    I am an oily resilient skin prone to acne

  • Lovie· Jul 2023Recommends

    My face is dry and sensitive, I used to be oily skin. After using products that caused irritation, this product helps calm my skin down the most. Lightweight for the skin, hydrating, soothing, does not cause irritation/breakout.

Product summary

"TORRIDEN - Dive-In Low Molecule Hyaluronic Acid Serum" is effective for: Moisturizing

This product could be helpful for: Anti-aging, but its actives are not the most effective or are not well-studied.

Ingredient callouts

  • Ceramides (ceramide np 0.10% - 0.40%). Ceramides are an important part of our natural skin barrier. The Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or come from plants. They help soften the skin and can help "fill the gaps" in the skin barrier, keeping the skin hydrated and resilient for longer.
  • Actives derived from an extract of the Centella Asiatica plant (also known as Gotu Kola) - madecassic acid 0.10% - 0.35% and madecassoside 0.10% - 0.35% The Centella Asiatica Actives help strengthen and restore the skin barrier, decrease inflammation in skin and neutralize free radicals. They also can help to reduce scarring. The good news is that these actives work even in low concentrations.
  • Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) at about 1.20% - 1.90% concentration. In this concentration, Panthenol works effectively to improve the skin barrier and reduce inflammation.
  • Humectants (glyceryl acrylate/acrylic acid copolymer 0.05% - 0.25%, betaine 0.10% - 0.35%, trehalose 0.10% - 0.45%, sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer 0.50% - 1.15%, sodium acetylated hyaluronate 0.90% - 1.35%, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid 1.10% - 1.70%, sodium hyaluronate 1.00% - 1.50%, panthenol 1.20% - 1.90% and glycerin 2.90% - 4.30%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
