Layered hydration in a lightweight serum

Torriden DIVE-IN Serum is a lightweight face serum focused on hydration. Its formula combines five forms of hyaluronic acid with humectants such as glycerin, trehalose and betaine, alongside ceramide NP and cholesterol. The listed formula also includes malachite extract, which gives the serum its soft blue tint.

The DIVE-IN serum has become a familiar K-beauty hydration pick for its focused ingredient profile and easy-to-layer texture. Rather than relying on one form of hyaluronic acid, Torriden combines five: sodium hyaluronate, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, sodium acetylated hyaluronate, sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer and hydrolyzed sodium hyaluronate. The brand refers to this combination as its 5D hyaluronic acid complex.

Ingredients that complete the formula

Ceramide NP and cholesterol are included to support the skin barrier. Madecassoside and madecassic acid are paired with panthenol and allantoin for a skin-comforting profile. The ingredient list also includes botanical extracts such as Baikal skullcap, tree peony, purslane and witch hazel.

No fragrance or parfum appears in the ingredient list recorded for this product. Formulas and ingredient panels can vary by region or production batch, so check the package you receive for the current full list.

How to use

After cleansing and toner, apply a few drops evenly over the face and neck, then pat gently until absorbed. Applying it to slightly damp skin and following with a moisturizer can help keep the routine comfortable. Use morning and evening as tolerated. For extra hydration, apply two or three thin layers rather than one thick layer. For external use only; avoid direct contact with the eyes and follow the directions on the package.

Frequently asked questions

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

The listed formula does not include fragrance or parfum, and it contains ingredients such as madecassoside, allantoin and Baikal skullcap extract. However, botanical ingredients can still disagree with some skin. Patch test first if your skin reacts easily, and stop use if irritation occurs.
