What is in DIVE IN Serum: the five hyaluronic acids
The "5D" in the brand's wording matches five hyaluronic acid ingredients in the US list: Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer and Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate. They sit right after Panthenol, behind the water and humectant base. The brand does not publish how much of each is in the bottle.
The five forms, as listed
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid
- Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate
- Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer
- Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate
What else is in the formula
Around the hyaluronic acids the list is mostly hydrating and soothing-feel ingredients. These are the ones a reader is most likely to look for:
- Base and humectants: Water, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Dipropylene Glycol, Propanediol and 1,2-Hexanediol.
- Panthenol, Allantoin, Trehalose and Betaine: common hydrating and skin-feel ingredients, listed around the hyaluronic acids.
- Madecassoside and Madecassic Acid: two of the centella derivatives that the BALANCEFUL line uses.
- Ceramide NP, Cholesterol and Beta-Glucan: a small lipid and sugar group, listed in the middle of the formula.
- Plant extracts: Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Leaf Extract, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract and Paeonia Suffruticosa Root Extract.
It contains no retinol, no vitamin C and no exfoliating acid in the US list. For comparison, Torriden's centella-led serums sit in the BALANCEFUL range.

What the brand says it does, and its own test figures
Torriden describes DIVE IN Serum as an inner moisture serum that provides moisture with 5D multi low-molecular hyaluronic acid. The brand also publishes test figures, but it does not name the institute that ran them, so treat them as marketing claims rather than independent evidence.
- Moisture Recharge: the brand says it replenishes hydration from the surface to deep within the skin.
- Long-lasting hydration: the brand says it provides up to 48 hours of lasting moisture.
- Gentle formula: the brand says it is suitable even for sensitive skin.
The brand's own test figures
According to the brand, in its own tests the serum showed 88.87 % outer-skin moisture, 10.09 % inner-skin moisture and 14.94 % lower stratum corneum moisture over 48 hours. We do not know the method, the number of volunteers or what the percentages were compared with, so we cannot say what they mean for your skin.
What we can and cannot say: the ingredient list fits a hydrating serum, and the brand makes the claims above. We have not tested the product and have not found independent results for it.
Who DIVE IN Serum may suit
On paper this is a lightweight hydrating step with no fragrance listed. The brand says it is suitable even for sensitive skin, but no cosmetic can promise that for every person.
- Fragrance: no Fragrance or Parfum appears in the US ingredient list. That is not the same as free of everything scented; our guide to cruelty-free, vegan and sensitive-skin questions goes into more detail.
- Oils: we see no added oil among the ingredients, which may matter if you prefer lighter textures.
- Plant extracts: the formula includes witch hazel leaf extract and other plant extracts. If you know you react to plant extracts, read the list before buying.
- Skin conditions: for acne, rosacea, eczema or reactions to products, ask your GP, a pharmacist or a dermatologist.
A simple precaution with any new product is to try a small amount on a small area first and stop if your skin reacts. For other Torriden hydrating options see our page on the Torriden creams.
How to use it, and what to layer it with
Follow the directions on the pack you buy. Torriden's US product page carries a how-to-use section, but we could not read its wording reliably, so we are not repeating step-by-step instructions here.
- Where it sits in a routine: it is a serum, so it normally goes after cleansing and toner and before cream.
- Vitamin C and retinol: the serum contains neither, and we found no pairing advice from the brand. If you use retinol or other strong actives, ask a pharmacist or dermatologist how to combine them.
- Sunscreen: a hydrating serum does not replace SPF; see our guide to Torriden sunscreens in the UK.
If you want a hydrating toner or pad to pair with it, our page on Torriden toners and pads lists the options in the same DIVE IN line.

How long does a 50 ml bottle last?
Torriden does not give a usage time for the bottle, and we will not guess a number of weeks. It depends on how many drops you use each time and how often you apply it.
Duo Set, refill and Sanrio or Upgraded versions
Torriden's US website lists the serum as a Single bottle or a Duo Set. We found a single bottle at the UK shops above, and did not check for a Duo Set in the UK.
- Refill and Sanrio edition: we came across a mention of a "Sanrio EDITION" Upgraded serum with a Double and a Refill option on Olive Young, a Korean retailer. We did not check this listing ourselves, and did not find these versions at UK shops on 19 October 2026.
- "Upgraded" or "Renewed" versions: some retailer listings use these words. We could not confirm that their ingredients match the US list above, so do not assume they do.
- What to do: if a UK listing says Upgraded, Renewed, Refill or a special edition, compare the ingredient list on the box with the list on this page.
