TORRIDEN Dive In Cleansing Foam — Nettoyant Moussant à l'Acide Hyaluronique 8D

Far beyond a simple foam, this cleanser contains an 8D complex ofhyaluronic acid : eight forms with varied molecular weights (from high to low) that hydrate the epidermis at every level. Sodium Hyaluronate (stable saline form), Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid (hydrolyzed fragments that penetrate deeply), Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate (acetylated version that adheres better to the surface): each molecule has a specific hydrating mission, from the dermis to the stratum corneum.

Panthenol (provitamin B5) immediately soothes reactive skin and retains water after rinsing. Allantoin calms micro-irritations — perfect if you cleanse right after removing stubborn makeup. Tocopherol (vitamin E) protects against morning oxidative stress, while botanical extracts (Hamamelis Virginiana, Camellia Sinensis Leaf, Chamomilla Recutita) gently tighten pores and neutralize post-cleansing redness.

The surfactants Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate and Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate, derived from amino acids and coconut, create a dense foam without stripping: your hydrolipidic film remains intact, never that tight "squeaky" skin feeling.

☀️ Morning routine

1. Wet your face with lukewarm water.
2. Squeeze an amount the size of a coin (about 1 cm) into your damp palms.
3. Lather for 5-10 seconds: the texture transforms into airy clouds.
4. Gently massage over your entire face, focusing on the T-zone if you have combination skin.
5. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water (never hot, to preserve the skin barrier).
6. Follow with your usual toner and serum — the hyaluronic acid in the cleanser prepares the skin.

🌙 Evening routine

1. If you wear makeup or sunscreen, first use a cleansing oil (like the Dive In Cleansing Oil from the same range) to dissolve oils.
2. Then apply this foam as the second step of double cleansing: it removes the last traces without irritation.
3. Proceed as in the morning, then continue with your nighttime skincare routine.

Texture tip: The more water you add during the massage, the denser the foam becomes. Adjust according to your mood — light in the morning for a gentle wake-up, richer in the evening for a true cocooning experience.

This foam is for those looking for a truly hydrating cleanser, not just a "non-drying" one.

• Dry to very dry skin : were you afraid of foams? This one plumps instead of tightens, thanks to the 8D hyaluronic acid cocktail that compensates for the evaporation of tap water.
• Sensitive or reactive skin : hypoallergenic formula dermatologically tested, without synthetic fragrance, without SLS/SLES, without parabens. The pH 5-6 respects your natural acid mantle.
• Combination skin : cleans excess sebum in the T-zone without drying the cheeks — the perfect balance for those who want to simplify their routine without multiplying products.
• Minimalist layering enthusiasts : if you already trust the Dive In range (toner, serum, cream), this cleanser completes the hyaluronic synergy from start to finish.
• Skin prone to mild acne : gentle surfactants remove impurities and pollution residues without overreacting — several users report improved texture and fewer breakouts.

Avoid if: you are looking for a powerful mattifying cleanser for oily skin with severe blemishes (instead, opt for a foam with BHA or clay). If you have ultra-oily skin, this hydrating formula might feel too comfortable.

From the first use, you feel the difference to the touch: no more tightness after rinsing, skin that is supple and "bounces" under your fingers. The airy foam rinses off easily, leaving no sticky film—just a fresh clean feeling.

After 1 week, your skin texture refines: the gentle surfactants softly remove dead cells without an abrasive effect. Diffuse redness fades thanks to the Panthenol + Allantoin duo.

After 2-3 weeks, the skin barrier visibly strengthens: less dehydration during the day, fewer discomfort sensations in winter or air-conditioned environments. Some users notice "bouncier" skin, an effect amplified if you combine this cleanser with the Dive In serum from the range.

In the long term (4-6 weeks), cumulative hydration improves overall radiance: the complexion looks less dull, dehydration fine lines (around the eyes or cheeks) are slightly filled in. Important: this product does not treat established wrinkles or hyperpigmentation—it simply prepares a healthy base for your skincare actives.

How much should I use for the 150 ml tube to last a long time?

About a 1 cm pump (the size of a coin) is enough morning and evening. With this amount, the tube lasts about 2 to 3 months with daily use — an excellent value compared to Western cleansers of the same size.

Can I use it alone in the morning or do I need double cleansing?

In the morning, this cleanser is more than enough: your skin has only accumulated nighttime sebum and residues from your evening routine. In the evening, however, if you wear makeup or sunscreen, start with a cleansing oil or balm, then use this foam as a second step for perfect cleansing without stripping.

My tap water is very hard; will this cleanser compensate?

Yes, partly: the 8D complex of hyaluronic acid and glycerin captures moisture even in a hard water environment. However, if your water is extremely hard, always finish with a mist of thermal water or a hydrating toner to neutralize mineral deposits.

I have combination skin: won’t this cleanser make my T-zone oily?

No, hyaluronic acid molecules (even in 8 types) are hydrophilic, not lipophilic: they don’t add oil. The amino acid-derived surfactants clean excess sebum without triggering compensatory sebum production — this is precisely the advantage of pH-balanced formulas (5-6).

What is the difference with the Dive In cleansing oil from the same range?

The Dive In cleansing oil dissolves oily substances (waterproof makeup, chemical sunscreens) thanks to its lipophilic base. This foam cleans water-soluble impurities (sweat, dust, skincare residue). In a full routine: oil first, foam second. If you don’t wear makeup, the foam alone is enough morning and evening.

Does this product contain irritating fragrances or essential oils?

No: the formula contains no added synthetic fragrance. The slightly fresh scent comes from natural botanical extracts (chamomile, green tea, witch hazel). No concentrated essential oils, making it safe for ultra-sensitive or fragrance-intolerant skin.

Launched in 2015 in Seoul by an independent team passionate about minimalist formulation, TORRIDEN is inspired by the Scottish village of Torridon — an ecosystem preserved for 700 million years. The idea: to transpose this untouched purity into skincare without excess, where every ingredient has a precise function.

In its second year, the brand exploded in South Korea: ranked among the best indie brands by Hwahae and GlowPick, its Dive In Low Molecular Hyaluronic Acid serum became the #1 hydrating serum for three consecutive years. This success is based on a kept promise: scientifically dosed active complexes (8D hyaluronic acid, 5-ceramide complex for the Solid In line, 5-Cica complex for Balanceful) rather than empty marketing claims.

TORRIDEN upholds a strict ethic: 100% vegan formulas certified by the Vegan Korea Association, no animal testing, packaging made with 50% recycled plastic, labels easy to remove for recycling, 100% recycled FSC paper, soy-based vegetable ink. The brand embraces a “scientific clean beauty” positioning: no synthetic fragrances, no SLS/SLES, no parabens, but clinically measurable results.

Now distributed in over 20 countries (including France through curated selections like Oh My Cream), TORRIDEN stays true to its Korean philosophy of “less but better”: short routines, sensory textures, visible effectiveness.

The 8D complex decoded: The eight forms of hyaluronic acid (molecular weights from top to bottom: Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer to form a protective film, classic Hyaluronic Acid for medium hydration, Hydrolyzed versions to penetrate down to the dermis, Sodium Acetylated for better adhesion) build a 3D hydration network: each layer of your skin receives its dose of water, from the surface to the deep layers.

Gentle surfactants: Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate and Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate are derived from amino acids (glycine, glutamic acid) and coconut oil — ultra-gentle, they cleanse without breaking the lipid bonds of the skin barrier. That’s why you never get that “tight skin” feeling after rinsing.

Botanical extracts: Virginia witch hazel (mild astringent), green tea (polyphenolic antioxidant), matricaria chamomile (natural anti-inflammatory) — a classic trio of soothing cleansers, but here dosed without excess to avoid any sensitization.

Preservatives & stabilizers: Potassium Benzoate, 1,2-Hexanediol, Ethylhexylglycerin — minimalist preservation system, free of parabens and formaldehyde. Citric Acid adjusts the pH to 5-6, ideal to respect the skin’s natural acid mantle.
