Torriden Dive-In Soothing Cream Price: Why Korea Beats Olive Young Global

Torriden Dive-In Soothing Cream is a hyaluronic acid cream. Two big Korean skincare channels picked it in the last month without a sponsorship mark. One calls it plain but dependable. The other uses it as the cooling step in a routine for very dry skin. Both point to its hyaluronic acid, and Ocean repeats the brand’s claim of five types. The ingredient list on Olive Young Korea shows which parts of that story hold up.

To pick this product, I looked at Korean YouTube videos from the last 30 days that weren’t marked as sponsored and counted which products came up across different channels. The search collected 248 videos from 185 channels. Of those, 176 videos from 144 channels carried no sponsorship mark. Torriden as a brand came up in six channels, but in different products. This exact cream was named by two.

What two creators said about it

Creator	Where it comes up	Why they picked it	Skin context
스완 SWAN (Swan), 513K subscribers, 214K views	Cream tier list, 2:36	Light but real hydration; very good feel; to him, hydration lasts a bit longer than a popular birch-sap cream	Men who want a light cream; his lightest group suits oily, combination and dehydrated-oily skin
오션 OCEAN (Ocean), 303K subscribers	Fall routine for very dry skin, 12:01	Absorbs fast without stickiness; cooling feel; works under other layers	Dry, reactive skin; she says she is prone to atopic flare-ups

Neither video is marked as paid promotion, and neither product list carries a gift or sponsorship note on this cream. Swan’s description puts a Bgroom (Korean shopping app) affiliate link on this cream’s line and says purchases may earn him a commission. I still counted Swan’s video, since an affiliate link is not a sponsorship mark and the grades are his own.

Swan: S grade for a plain cream

Swan grades 35 creams in this video by how rich they feel. The Dive-In sits in his lightest group and earns an S, which on his scale means he strongly recommends it. He admits it is a little boring. It is a water cream that does its job well.

His reasons are specific. He calls the 500 ppm hyaluronic acid a little disappointing but not bad. He likes the panthenol-and-allantoin pairing. Above all, he likes how it feels on skin. He feels the hydration lasts a bit longer than a popular birch-sap cream from Round Lab. He frames it for men who want something light but still want real hydration. He suggests it when the gel cream he recommends as his main light pick feels too light. He also warns that the line has many versions, so you should buy by the exact product name.

In the same video, Torriden’s Balanceful Cica Calming Cream gets an A, one grade lower. Swan says it feels good and often goes on sale cheaply. He did not feel it soothed as much as its name promises.

Ocean: fast, cool and easy to layer

Ocean puts the cream after two serums. In the video she presents it before a lotion and two barrier creams. She says the usual hyaluronic acid creams either soak in slowly or leave a sticky finish. That blocks the next layer. This one, she says, sinks in quickly and finishes with a smooth, satin-like feel.

She also notices a cooling feeling and checked the label for a cooling ingredient. She found none. On days her skin feels hot, she applies a thick layer. She puts a cooling pad on top for about ten minutes. For her, the cream is both the daily hydration step and the one she reaches for when skin feels heated.

Where they agree and where they differ

Feel. Swan calls it a very light water cream. Ocean says it sinks in quickly without a sticky finish and feels cool.
Role. Swan treats it as a plain daily cream. Ocean treats it as a layering step with a cooling effect.
Skin type. Swan’s lightest group is aimed at oily, combination and dehydrated-oily skin. Ocean, whose skin is very dry, says it absorbs fast enough to layer under other products. That suggests a light base, not a rich barrier cream.
Doubts. Swan finds the hyaluronic acid amount only okay. Ocean raises no doubts about the formula.

In the comments I could read, one viewer said they use Torriden’s soothing cream in spring and fall, without naming the version. One asked how it compares with another brand’s cream, and another asked how to layer it. That is too thin a sample to call a trend, and none of them described the cream in detail.

Torriden Dive-In Soothing Cream card: what Korean creators said vs what the label shows

What the Torriden Dive-In Soothing Cream label shows

The ingredient list comes from the product information disclosure on Olive Young Korea. I matched it to English names with the MFDS ingredient database. It lists 41 ingredients. The maker is Hansol Biotech, the seller is Torriden, and the notice shows no functional cosmetic review for this product. Olive Young Global’s page lists the same ingredients.

Five hyaluronic acids, one amount

The creators’ main point is hyaluronic acid. The label does list five forms of it. Sodium hyaluronate is 8th, followed by sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer, hydrolyzed sodium hyaluronate and sodium acetylated hyaluronate. Hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, the low-molecular-weight form, is 12th.

Only that last one has an amount: 500 ppm, or 0.05%. Swan reads 500 ppm as the hyaluronic acid content, but the label attaches it to one of the five forms. Hyaluronic acid is a humectant (a water-holding ingredient) that is widely used in moisturizers. The label gives no amount for sodium hyaluronate or the other forms. So 500 ppm is the only number I can check.

Panthenol is 7th, but the label gives no panthenol amount. Swan likes the panthenol and allantoin pairing. See my panthenol skincare guide for what the ingredient does in a leave-on cream. Allantoin, ectoin, licorice extract and trehalose follow the 500 ppm item. The label gives amounts for only one ingredient, so I can’t tell how much of any of these is in the jar. I wouldn’t read much into list position.

A renewed formula

Olive Young Global’s page carries an upgrade notice. It says the packaging and formulation were renewed. It also says the low-molecular hyaluronic acid is five times the earlier amount. That is the brand’s claim, and I couldn’t find the renewal date. Swan’s 500 ppm matches the current label, so he may have used the new version. Neither video says which one they used. Swan’s own advice to buy by the exact product name makes sense here.

The base and the extras

The base: water, butylene glycol and glycerin lead, with 1,2-hexanediol next. Hydrogenated didecene and caprylic/capric triglyceride, both emollients, come 5th and 6th. That is a light, lotion-like base.
Texture helpers: cetearyl alcohol and C14-22 alcohol are fatty alcohols that thicken creams. They are not the drying kind of alcohol. Caprylyl methicone is a silicone that gives a smooth finish.
Plant extracts: witch hazel, clary sage, lavender flower, hyacinth, chamomile (matricaria), cornflower and borage extracts. Lavender and chamomile are worth a patch test if you react to those plants.
Other extras: ectoin, glutathione and malachite extract. The label does not say why they are there.
No added fragrance and no ethanol appear on the list, though several of the plant extracts are aromatic.

This base fits the light feel Swan describes and the quick, non-sticky absorption Ocean describes. It also helps explain why Swan places it with light creams. The label has no menthol or mint-type ingredient, so I can’t tell where Ocean’s cooling feel comes from. Olive Young Global’s page also advertises an instant cooling effect, but it does not name the ingredient behind it. Use it on healthy skin and stop if irritation shows. If you have a skin condition, check with a dermatologist.

Torriden Dive-In Soothing Cream price: Korea vs overseas

Where	What you get	Price	Rating
Olive Young Korea	100 ml	24,000 won list (about US$17.90), 16,800 won on sale (about US$12.53)	4.7 from 122 reviews
Olive Young Global	100 ml	US$28.00 list, US$19.60 on sale	4.7 from 142 reviews (Korean reviews included)

I checked prices on October 29, 2026, and converted with the ECB reference rate of 1,340.47 won per dollar from October 28. In Korea the sale price works out to 168 won per ml, about 12.5 US cents. The global sale price is about 56% above Korea’s, and the list price is the same 56% above. The plain 100 ml listing in Korea showed as temporarily sold out. Gift sets with an extra 20 ml were also listed. Olive Young Global lists free shipping over US$60. Sale prices change often, so recheck before you buy.

Who it is likely to suit

Here is what the creators say. Swan sees it as a plain, light daily cream. Ocean says it absorbs fast without stickiness and uses it as a cool layering step.

Here is my reading of the label. A water-based formula with hyaluronic acids, panthenol and a light oil base suits normal, oily or combination skin. If your skin is very dry or damaged, you will probably want a richer barrier cream on top. Ocean does exactly that. For a ceramide cream with a richer feel, see my Aestura Atobarrier 365 Cream post.

If you want panthenol in a cheaper form, my Daiso panthenol cream comparison covers two options.

The short version

Two unsponsored Korean YouTube channels like Torriden Dive-In Soothing Cream for hydration, Swan for its light feel and Ocean for its fast absorption. The label lists five hyaluronic acids but gives an amount, 500 ppm, for only one. The brand says the formula was renewed. It has no fragrance or ethanol, and Olive Young Global’s sale price is about 56% above Korea’s.
