Hi everyone, I'm Dr. Jane Yoo, board-certified dermatologist and Mohs surgeon. Today I want to introduce to you the Torriden Dive-In Sunscreen line. Torriden is a Korean skincare brand known for its focus on gentle, hydrating formulas and innovative ingredient combinations. This collection really stands out for its advanced UV filter technology and skin-friendly textures, especially if you're looking for options that you can't find in the US. Let's start off with the Torriden Dive-In Tone-Up Sun Cream Purple. This sunscreen has a subtle purple tint that helps brighten and even out your skin tone. The texture is lightweight and semi-matte, so it works well under makeup or on its own. The filter blend here includes Uvinul T150 for UVB, titanium dioxide for UVA and UVB, Uvinul A Plus for long-wave UVA, Mexoryl XL for broad UVA and UVB, and Tinosorb M, which covers UVA, UVB, and blue light. You get broad, stable protection in a formula that feels comfortable on your skin. Next is the Torridon Dive-In Moisture Sun Cream. This is one of my favorites. This one is focused on hydration with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, panthenol, and allantoin. The filters in this formula are Tinosorb S for UVA and UVB, Uvinul A+ for UVA, Uvinul T150 for UVB, and Tinosorb M for UVA, UVB, and blue light. The finish is watery and refreshing, and it's a good option for normal to dry skin. For those of you who prefer mineral sunscreens, the Tordin Dive-In Mild Sun Cream uses zinc oxide, which protects against both UVA and UVB rays. It's vegan and contains several types of hyaluronic acid for extra moisture. The formula is lightweight and doesn't leave a white cast, which is a plus for mineral sunscreens. Now, if you like stick formats for easy reapplication, the Torriden Dive-In Soothing Sun Stick is a convenient choice. It's portable, glides on smoothly, and has a non-sticky finish. The filters here include Uvinul A Plus for UVA, Uvinul T150, and Polysilicone 15 for UVB, and Tinosorb S for broad protection. The stick also includes hydrating and soothing ingredients like hyaluronic acid and panthenol. So what really sets these Torriden sunscreens apart from US versions is the use of filters like Tinosorb S, Tinosorb M, Uvinul A Plus, Uvinul T150, and Mexoryl XL. These aren't available in US sunscreens, but they provide broad-spectrum photostable protection and help keep keep the formulas lightweight and comfortable. If you're curious about sunscreen technology from outside the US or want to try new textures and formats, the Torriden Dive-In line offers several interesting options.
