What is this product?

Reach for this Torriden serum if the goal is a centella product built on a water and gel base with no oil phase whatsoever. Two numbers are printed and they are the reason to look: panthenol at 11,000ppm in position 7, which is 1.1 percent, and asiaticoside at 3,610ppb in position 10, which is 3.61ppm and roughly three thousand times smaller. That unit switch inside one list is worth reading carefully. The centella complex runs five entries deep and consecutive, positions 8 through 12, but only the one at 10 carries an amount. Eight hyaluronate species occupy positions 18 through 25, all without amounts. The exfoliating side is thin and deep in the list: succinic, gluconic and the LHA capryloyl salicylic acid at 27 through 29. Three things to know. The list has no brand first person source at all; it comes from retail, because the brand's own page prints see the detail page in every statutory row. The brand publishes no marketing copy in text anywhere in this archive, so both graded statements below are retail statutory notices rather than brand claims. And the brightening registration is confirmed while niacinamide's amount is not printed.

What makes it different?

The differentiator this record can point to is the combination of a five entry consecutive centella block at positions 8 through 12 with an eight species hyaluronate block at 18 through 25, inside a formula that contains no plant butter, fixed oil, wax or mineral oil at all. No category baseline for how often either pattern occurs was measured here, so no comparison against one is made. Two amounts are printed and they use different units, ppm for panthenol at position 7 and ppb for asiaticoside at 10; the rest of the list is silent on quantity. Panthenol at 11,000ppm is also the axis that separates this SKU from its siblings in the same line, whose printed panthenol figures differ. Three trace acids at 27 through 29 give a mild exfoliating edge that the product name does not advertise, and zinc appears twice, as a hyaluronate at 25 and as zinc PCA at 30.

What is in it?

The full ingredient list as the brand publishes it, in the printed order. Each name links to what we know about that ingredient.

This brand publishes its ingredient list in Korean only. Names below are the matching INCI names from the Korean Cosmetic Association ingredient dictionary, except 4 with no dictionary entry, left in Korean.
