# Torriden Balanceful Cica Calming Serum 50ml The Korean-market Torriden serum formula, not the US reformulation. - Brand: Torriden - Product: Balanceful Cica Calming Serum 50ml - Price: $30.00 - Availability: In stock - Size: 50 ml - Market: Korean market, the version sold in Korea - Made in: Republic of Korea - EAN (barcode): 8809784600978 - Category: Serums & Ampoules ## Key benefits - Five forms of centella asiatica on one panel, not a single token inclusion - Allantoin on the same panel, the formula's active - Swertia Japonica Extract on the same panel, the formula's plant extract - 50 ml to a unit - Korean GS1 barcode matched against a Korea sourcing supplier's record for this item ## How it works The panel on this serum names five forms of centella asiatica rather than one: Centella Asiatica Extract, Madecassic Acid, Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid, Madecassoside. Centella Asiatica is the plant behind the whole cica category, sold as gotu kola or Madagascar centella. Its extract is the anchor of Korean formulas built for easily reddened skin, and its work is done by four triterpenes: asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid and madecassic acid. On this panel it sits alongside Allantoin, Swertia Japonica Extract and Nymphaea Caerulea Flower Extract. Allantoin is a comfrey-derived compound used to condition skin and soften the outer layer so it feels smoother. It is one of the standard additions to a formula built for easily irritated skin. ## How to use 1. Apply after the toner while the skin is still damp so a small dose covers the face in one pass. 2. Press it in with the flats of the fingers rather than rubbing it around in circles. 3. Follow with a light cream to hold it in place, then sunscreen as the final morning step. 4. Do not stack it with an exfoliating step in the same sitting, since the reason you bought it is that the skin already reacts. ## Ingredients Water, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Dipropylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Glycereth-26, Panthenol, Centella Asiatica Extract, Madecassic Acid, Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid, Madecassoside, Allantoin, Swertia Japonica Extract, Nymphaea Caerulea Flower Extract, Lactobacillus Ferment, Althaea Rosea Flower Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Hyaluronic Acid, Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate, Potassium Hyaluronate, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate, Betaine, Capryloyl Salicylic Acid, Dipeptide-2, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Pentylene Glycol, Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate, Propanediol, Isopentyldiol, Glyceryl Acrylate/Acrylic Acid Copolymer, Pvm/Ma Copolymer, Caproic Acid, Polyglyceryl-4 Oleate, Sodium Surfactin, Carbomer, Xanthan Gum, Tromethamine, Sodium Acetate, Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract, Melia Azadirachta Flower Extract, Disodium EDTA, Ethylhexylglycerin ## FAQ ### What does the Torriden serum texture feel like on skin? It applies as a fluid texture that settles in within a minute or two rather than sitting on the surface. Because it is the Korean-market formula rather than a US-shelf reformulation, the finish matches what the same product feels like on shelf in Korea, not a version adjusted for a different market's regulations. ### Where does this serum fit in a Korean skincare routine? It sits at the targeted treatment step after toner or essence and before moisturizer. Korean routines are built as layers rather than a single all-in-one step, so using it out of order, for example before a lighter product that needs to absorb first, is the most common reason a product underperforms its expectations. ### Is this the authentic Korean-market version, and how is it different from what US retailers sell? Yes: Torriden formulates this line for the Korean market first, and this is that exact formula shipped from Korean-market stock rather than a separately registered US version. Some Korean brands sell a reformulated line through US retailers with different actives or filter systems to clear US regulations, and this is not that product. ### Who should reach for this serum first? Anyone already using Torriden's other products will notice the same formulation logic here, and it is a reasonable first pick for someone building out a Korean routine around this step for the first time. Skin that reacts to heavy fragrance loads should still read the full ingredient panel on the product page before committing to daily use. ### How should this be stored and how long does it last once opened? Keep it out of direct sun and away from bathroom heat and humidity, the way any Korean-formulated skincare should be stored, and use a clean hand or spatula rather than repeatedly dipping wet fingers into the container. A sealed, unopened unit keeps for the shelf life printed on its own Korean-market batch code, which is intact on every unit we ship. --- Page: https://korean-pharmacy.com/products/torriden-balanceful-cica-calming-serum-50ml
