Frequently Asked Questions

They are two separate 50 ml serums. Both list the five centella ingredients, panthenol and Capryloyl Salicylic Acid, but only the Control Serum lists niacinamide and zinc PCA in the US ingredient list. The brand pitches the Control Serum at excess sebum and the Serum at soothing sensitive skin.

No. UK shops list the Cica Serum and the Control Serum as different products with different product pages and descriptions. We matched the Cica Serum to Torriden's BALANCEFUL Serum by name and description, so check the box for the exact formula.

The brand describes the Serum, Control Serum and Cream as non-comedogenic, and it talks about balancing oil in several products. That is the brand's description, not a promise. For acne, ask your GP, a pharmacist or a dermatologist.

Only the Azelaic Acid Mask and the Azelaic Acid Micropoint Spot Patch list azelaic ingredients. The serums and cream do not. We did not see either azelaic product in the UK shop lists we checked on 19 October 2026.

The brand describes the Serum, Control Serum and Cream as “Non-Comedogenic”. That is its own claim on its US product pages, and we have not seen independent testing behind it.

The Serum does not list niacinamide in the US ingredient list. The Control Serum, Control Mask and Peeling Toner do. UK formulas were not checked, so look at the pack if niacinamide matters to you.

Five in the Serum, Control Serum and Cream: Centella Asiatica Extract, Madecassic Acid, Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid and Madecassoside. That is what the brand means by “5 types of centella”.

Yes: the CELLMAZING Firming Eye Cream. Its US ingredient list includes Retinol, Retinyl Palmitate, Retinal and Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate, and the brand does not publish concentrations. Ask a pharmacist, GP or dermatologist first if you are pregnant or have a skin condition, and use sunscreen in the daytime.

Yes, in the sense that it contains vitamin C ingredients; the brand calls it a brightening ampoule with 5 kinds of vitamin ingredients. UK shops list it as the Vita C Brightening Ampoule, 30 ml, at £22.00 on 19 October 2026.

The first is 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid. The US list also has Ascorbic Acid, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Ascorbyl Glucoside and Ascorbyl Palmitate. Torriden does not publish the percentages.

Torriden does not describe it by age. It says the cream helps improve skin firmness and elasticity, and supports the improvement of fine lines and wrinkles. Whether it suits your skin is a question for a pharmacist or dermatologist.

No Fragrance or Parfum is listed in the US CELLMAZING ingredient lists we checked. The Brightening Ampoule does list Bergamot Fruit Oil, an essential oil. The UK pack may differ, so check the box.

Not in the US ingredient list we checked. Retinol-family ingredients are in the Firming Eye Cream, and vitamin C ingredients are in the Brightening products.

The brand states “Always cruelty-free.” on its US website. That is a self-declaration: we have not found an independent certification such as Leaping Bunny listed by the brand.

The brand says its products are vegan-certified and formulated without animal-derived ingredients. It does not name the certifier, so treat it as the brand's own claim.

None of the 48 US ingredient lists contains Fragrance or Parfum. Some products do contain scented plant extracts or essential oils, such as the Cleansing Oil, so check the table above and the UK pack.

Many Torriden pages describe products as suitable even for sensitive skin, and the brand cites a human repeat insult patch test (Non-irritant) without naming the institute. We cannot promise how your skin will react; patch test first and ask a pharmacist or dermatologist if you have a skin condition.

We cannot advise on this: ask your GP or pharmacist. The only retinol-group ingredients in the US range are in the CELLMAZING Firming Eye Cream and its discovery kit, which you can show them.

The brand does not publish separate UK formulas, and the lists here are from its US website. Check the ingredient list on the UK pack or shop page.

According to the brand, it provides moisture with 5D multi low-molecular hyaluronic acid and gives up to 48 hours of lasting moisture. In the ingredient list that means five hyaluronic acid forms alongside glycerin, panthenol and allantoin. It is a hydrating serum, not a treatment.

The brand says it has a gentle formula suitable even for sensitive skin, and we see no Fragrance or Parfum and no added oil in the US ingredient list. That is a description of the formula, not a guarantee. It does contain witch hazel and other plant extracts, so check the list if you react to those.

We could not confirm the brand's wording on whether to apply it to damp skin, so we will not state it as fact. Follow the directions on your pack. As a serum it is normally used after cleansing and toner and before moisturiser.

The serum itself contains neither vitamin C nor retinol, and we found no pairing guidance from the brand. If you use retinol or other strong actives, ask a pharmacist or dermatologist how to fit them together.

No Fragrance or Parfum is listed in the ingredient list on torriden.us, checked 19 October 2026. It does include plant extracts such as witch hazel leaf extract. The pack sold in the UK may list ingredients differently, so check the box.

The brand gives no usage time. It depends on how many drops you use and how often, so we cannot give a number of weeks.

On 19 October 2026 we found it at Superdrug, Pure Seoul, koreanskincare.co.uk and Oh My Cream, from £18.99 to £22.00. We did not find Torriden at Boots, LOOKFANTASTIC, Cult Beauty, Beauty Bay or Space NK on that date.

Yes. Torriden's US site lists it as a moisturiser and describes it as a low-irritation soothing gel cream that helps cool and moisturise the face. Its ingredient list leads with water, butylene glycol and glycerin and includes five forms of hyaluronic acid.

On the brand's US site the Jar Type and Tube Type are options on one page, both 100 ml with the same ingredient list. The difference appears to be the packaging only. The UK listings we checked did not say which one they sell.

The brand describes SOLID IN Ceramide Cream as a moisture cream for dry skin, with five ceramides in its list. The DIVE IN Cream adds plant oils and Ceramide NP. These are the brand's descriptions, not our test results.

Torriden does not publish skin-type guidance for most of its creams. The Soothing Cream is the one described as a gel cream, and BALANCEFUL Cream is labelled non-comedogenic by the brand. If you have acne or another skin condition, ask a pharmacist, your GP or a dermatologist.

The yellow cream is SOLID IN. Its list has jojoba oil as the fourth ingredient, and the brand describes a soft texture that absorbs without heaviness. We have not tested it, so we cannot rank it for heaviness.

There is no Fragrance or Parfum in the US ingredient lists of the five creams. The Soothing Cream does contain lavender, clary and chamomile extracts, which can have a plant scent. Check the pack sold in the UK.

On 19 October 2026 the DIVE IN Cream was the lowest-priced full-size cream we found, from £17.96 at koreanskincare.co.uk. It is a smaller 80 ml pot, so compare sizes before deciding.

It depends on whether you want an acid. DIVE IN Toner and Skin Booster are liquids with no exfoliating acid in the US ingredient list, while the Multi Pad, BALANCEFUL Toner Pad and CELLMAZING Spot Toning Pad each list at least one. Choose on texture preference and on how your skin copes with acids.

Follow the directions printed on the pack, as we could not see the brand's step-by-step instructions. The brand describes the pad as clinging closely to the skin and cooling it, and says it is good for preparing skin before makeup.

Yes. In the brand's own catalogue it is filed under toners and described as a low pH toner, and one UK shop lists it as a toning lotion. It is richer than the plain DIVE IN Toner and lists Ceramide NP.

The brand calls the Multi Pad a daily moisture pad and the BALANCEFUL Toner Pad a daily toner pad. Several pads list exfoliating acids, though, and we cannot say how often your skin will tolerate them. Follow the pack directions, and ask your GP, a pharmacist or a dermatologist if you are unsure.

We did not find a product by that name in Torriden's catalogue, so it is probably another brand's product. The Torriden pads we found are the Multi Pad, the BALANCEFUL Toner Pad and the CELLMAZING Brightening Spot Toning Pad.

According to the ingredient list on Torriden's US website, the CELLMAZING Brightening Spot Toning Pad lists 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid and several other vitamin C forms. None of the other five toners and pads lists them.

We cannot rate it from experience, because this site does not run its own tests or publish user ratings. What we can say is that the ingredient lists are fully published, with no Fragrance or Parfum, and each line has a clear focus. Whether it suits you depends on your skin and what you want from a product.

Yes. Torriden is a South Korean brand. The footer of its US website gives the company as Torriden Co., Ltd., Daejeon, South Korea.

It comes from South Korea, according to Torriden's US website. The brand does not publish a founding year there. Which factory makes each product is also not stated, so we do not say.

The DIVE IN line, which is built around hyaluronic acid, is the hydration line, led by the serum and Soothing Cream. Torriden also makes centella products (BALANCEFUL), collagen and vitamin products (CELLMAZING), ceramide products (SOLID IN) and sunscreens sold in the UK.

On 19 October 2026 we found it at Superdrug, Pure Seoul, koreanskincare.co.uk and Oh My Cream. We did not find it at Boots, LOOKFANTASTIC, Cult Beauty, Beauty Bay or Space NK on that day, and results can change.

Not by name. Torriden sells SOLID IN Lip Essence and CELLMAZING Lip Essence, and there is no product called lip balm in the US catalogue. In use, both are lip-care products with oil and butter bases, so they cover what most people mean by that search.

The yellow one is SOLID IN, a ceramide formula that the brand aims at dry, chapped lips. The cream-and-pink one is CELLMAZING, a collagen and peptide formula the brand says plumps lips. Colours are from the US packaging, which may differ in the UK.

Neither lists Fragrance or Parfum in the US ingredient list, and neither lists essential oils. Both contain jojoba, olive and macadamia seed oil, which are carrier oils. Check the pack on your UK product, as the ingredients there may differ.

We could not find directions for overnight use on the product pages we read. Both have rich oil and petrolatum bases, but follow the instructions on the pack. If your lips are sore or cracked, ask your GP or a pharmacist.

On 19 October 2026 SOLID IN was £5.00 at Superdrug and Pure Seoul and CELLMAZING was £8.00 at both. koreanskincare.co.uk listed SOLID IN at £8.06. Prices change, so check before buying.

Yes, the US ingredient list shows all five that the brand names: Ceramide NP, NS, AS, EOP and AP. CELLMAZING Lip Essence does not list ceramides.

We cannot say which suits your skin. The brand describes the DIVE IN Cleansing Foam, Water and Oil, and the BALANCEFUL Gel and Foam, with wording such as soft finish or suitable even for sensitive skin. Those are the brand's claims, not our findings, and sensitivity varies, so patch-test and ask a pharmacist or your GP if you are unsure.

There is no Fragrance or Parfum entry in the US ingredient list, but it is not free of scented ingredients. The list includes Bergamot Fruit Oil, Rosewood Wood Oil, Tea Tree Leaf Oil, Limonene and Linalool. The pack sold in the UK may list them differently.

Torriden does not say you must. Double cleansing is an oil cleanser followed by a water-based one, and it is mainly relevant if you wear sunscreen or make-up. The brand says the DIVE IN Cleansing Water removes sunscreen on its own.

The DIVE IN Peeling Gel is a 150 ml water-gel exfoliator that the brand says softens and loosens dead skin cells. Its US ingredient list contains Gluconolactone, a mild exfoliating acid. We did not find it in the UK shops we checked on 19 October 2026.

The BALANCEFUL Cleansing Foam lists Salicylic Acid in the US ingredient list, and the Cleansing Gel and Control Pack Cleanser list Capryloyl Salicylic Acid. The brand does not publish concentrations. Check the pack and ask a professional if you have a skin condition.

Yes, on 19 October 2026 it was listed at £20.00 by Pure Seoul and on Superdrug by the marketplace seller PURESEOUL. It does not appear on the brand's US site, so its ingredients here come from a UK shop's list and may differ from what is on the pack.

The brand gives a time only for the BALANCEFUL Azelaic Acid Mask, which it calls a 10-minute mask. For the other masks we could not confirm a time, so follow the instructions printed on the pack.

The brand describes it as a firming gel mask with 5D multi-low-molecular collagen, and the US ingredient list includes several collagen ingredients. It comes as a hydrogel in 36 g (face only) or 45 g (face and neck) sizes.

The brand says it helps care for early-stage blemishes and visibly improve areas of concern, using 209 micropoints and what it calls “Expertly Engineered 7% Azelaic Synergy”. It is a cosmetic patch, so for persistent acne ask your GP, a pharmacist or a dermatologist.

We found nothing on the brand's pages about reusing its masks, so we cannot say. Follow the pack directions, and see our guide to vegan, cruelty-free and sensitive-skin questions if you are unsure about ingredients.

The brand positions the DIVE IN Mask as its hydration mask, with five forms of hyaluronic acid in the US ingredient list. That is the brand's positioning, not a test result.

Yes. The CELLMAZING Brightening Mask contains 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid and other vitamin C forms in the US list. In the UK it is sold as the Vita C Brightening Mask.

We found no nose patch among the 48 products we checked on torriden.us. There are two modeling packs, DIVE IN and BALANCEFUL.

Each range has its own pack colour: DIVE IN is light blue, BALANCEFUL is green, CELLMAZING is cream with pink, and SOLID IN is yellow. Torriden does not publish a colour guide, so the colour is a way to tell the ranges apart, not a skin-type code. Packs in the UK may differ from the US photos.

According to the brand, SOLID IN Cream is for dry skin, and the BALANCEFUL Control Serum is for excess sebum. BALANCEFUL and DIVE IN are both described as gentle. Nobody can promise a result for your skin, so patch-test a new product first, and ask your GP or pharmacist if you have a skin condition.

A trial kit is the lowest-commitment way to try a range, or start with a single product such as the DIVE IN Serum, which the brand tags as a best seller. Add one new product at a time so you can tell how your skin responds.

Torriden makes DIVE IN FOR MEN All In One, a moisturiser the brand describes for combination men's skin. Its ingredient list on torriden.us contains no Fragrance or Parfum. We did not find it in the UK shops we checked on 19 October 2026, so ask a retailer before you count on it.

We could not confirm that. Our colours come from photos on Torriden's US website, and UK shop photos can differ. Check the product name and range on the box rather than relying on colour alone.

It varies by product and listing. The Watery Moisture Sun Cream is named SPF50 PA++++ in UK product names, but some retailer descriptions say SPF50+. The Mild Sun Cream is named SPF50+ PA++++. Check the pack.

The two Watery formulas list organic UV filters, often called chemical filters, and we saw no zinc oxide or titanium dioxide in the retailer lists. We could not find an ingredient list for the Mild Sun Cream, so we cannot say.

Superdrug's description of the Watery Moisture Sun Cream says it protects without a white cast. That is retailer wording, not a claim from Torriden, and we have not tested it. Results depend on skin tone and how much you apply.

Yes. They are separate DIVE IN products with different ingredient lists. The serum is described as ultra-lightweight and is listed at 50 ml, while the Watery Moisture Sun Cream is 60 ml. Two of the serum's five filters do not appear in the cream's list.

On 19 October 2026 we found it at Superdrug (sold by Superdrug or by PURESEOUL), Pure Seoul and Oh My Cream, and koreanskincare.co.uk had the Mild Sun Cream. Full-size prices were £20.66 to £22.00.

We have not found either at UK retailers, and we found no sunscreen at all on Torriden's US website. That does not mean none exists, only that we have not seen it.

Neither is better on the evidence we have; they do different things. Anua's Heartleaf 77 toner is built around heartleaf water and plant extracts, while Torriden's DIVE IN Toner is a hyaluronic acid toner with a plain water base. Neither lists Fragrance/Parfum. Choose by the ingredients you want.

DIVE IN Serum is a hyaluronic acid serum with Ceramide NP and no niacinamide. Beauty of Joseon Glow Serum lists propolis extract, niacinamide and betaine salicylate. Pick Torriden for a plain hydration layer, Beauty of Joseon if you want niacinamide and propolis.

Only partly. Both have centella, but BALANCEFUL Serum lists five centella derivatives among 45 ingredients, while SKIN1004's Centella Ampoule lists one centella ingredient among 7. Torriden's DIVE IN line is mostly about hyaluronic acid, not centella.

They are different formats. CELLMAZING Firming Gel Mask is a 36 g hydrogel mask with peptides and several collagen entries. Biodance's Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask can be worn overnight and its collagen is fish-derived, according to Biodance's site. Neither list shows Fragrance/Parfum.

Of the competitor products we checked, only Medicube Zero Pore Pads list essential oils and Limonene. Among Torriden products, the cleansing oil and some cleansers do, as does the Brightening Ampoule. Check the list of any product you plan to use if you are sensitive to scents.

On 19 October 2026 our search of Boots for torriden showed 2 results, both from NARS, so we did not find Torriden there. We did find it at Superdrug and Pure Seoul. Search again before you rely on this, because ranges change.

Only some of it. Of the 49 products we saw, 10 were sold by Superdrug and 39 were sold on Superdrug by PURESEOUL, a marketplace seller. The DIVE IN Serum was sold by Superdrug, and the two sun creams were sold by the marketplace seller.

When we searched YesStyle on 19 October 2026, the results page showed no Torriden products. The UK shops where we did find Torriden are listed in the tables above.

Our Amazon.co.uk search on 19 October 2026 did not show Torriden listings. Results can differ with a UK delivery address, so it is worth searching again from your own account.

The brand does not publish a QR code, a batch-number format or a seller list that we could find, so the best protection is buying from established UK retailers and checking the seller, size and ingredient list against the listing. Be wary of prices far below the ones we list.
