Torriden Dive in Serum
Texture: Super lightweight but surprisingly hydrating. Honestly, it feels more like a toner than a serum.

Isntree Onion newpair Ampoule
Texture: Almost the same as Torriden, but just a tiny bit thicker. You wouldn’t really notice unless you’re paying close attention.

The Torriden serum is so thin that it honestly feels more like a toner. I wish it were just a little thicker. Right now, it doesn’t feel like enough on its own.
Neither of them feels oily, but I still want something that has more weight to it, something that actually feels like a hydrating serum or ampoule.

But still… she’s a graceful first step in a routine.
Isntree is your “I brought snacks and made you a spreadsheet” kind of friend😇
Pick your fighter lol🙈🫢✨✨
Torriden is good for hot, sticky days when you want the bare minimum. But Isntree… she shows up when your skin’s angry.

I honestly didn’t expect much at first, but by the 4th day, the redness had noticeably calmed down and my skin didn’t feel as hot or reactive. It’s not instantly soothing like some cica serums, but it’s that steady, calming kind of recovery. The texture is lightweight and absorbs fast, so I could easily layer it with other hydrating products without it pilling. I still keep it in rotation whenever I feel like my skin's veering into irritated territory.
