Hyaluronic Acid is a naturally occurring moisture-binding ingredient found in the skin and body.
Its standout feature is its ability to attract and lock in hydration—holding up to 1,000 times its own weight.
Just 1 gram of HA can bind with as much as 6 liters of water, keeping skin hydrated and supporting the barrier.
Low Molecular Weight
High Molecular Weight
The benefits of hyaluronic acid vary by molecular size.
Larger molecules stay closer to the surface, helping to create a moisture layer, while smaller molecules absorb more easily for deeper hydration.
Hyaluronic acid also supports the skin’s natural balance, which is why it’s beneficial for various skin types—not just sensitive skin.
Because it is gentle and non-irritating, it can be safely used on dry, oily, sensitive, and even acne-prone skin.
FAQ

Torriden’s DIVE IN Collection combines high, medium, and low molecular weight HA for balanced, long-lasting hydration.
Hyaluronic acid is made of sugar chains that naturally form gel-like textures,
which can feel slightly slippery.
To create a lighter, fresher finish, Torriden blends different molecular sizes and pairs them with complementary ingredients—so the DIVE IN Collection feels refreshing, without feeling heavy.
