The Torriden solid in lip essence dispenses through the plastic tube, which I usually still like to apply it with my fingers even though it isn’t the most sanitary thing to do. I hope you enjoyed this post as much as I did while writing it. Torriden is a great Korean brand that is quite affordable. If you have dry dehydrated skin, definitely try their dive-in line and if you have oily, acne-prone skin, their Cica line is your best bet. I hope this helped. Ok, so now we know what ceramides are, let's see what they do in our skin: research shows clearly that they play a super important role in keeping the skin barrier healthy and the skin hydrated. If ceramides in the skin are decreased, more water can evaporate from the skin and there is less water remaining in the skin. So ceramides form kind of a "water-proof" protecting layerand make sure that our skin remains nice and hydrated. I saw lip essence and thought this would be a lot more of a creamy milky texture but this is very waxy, so I’m not a fan. I will say that it works great. It fully hydrated my lips and kept them moisturized long after the product was gone from my lips. So if you don’t mind the texture I say this is a great lip product.

Third, jojoba oil moisturizes the skin through a unique dual action:on the one hand, it mixes with sebum and forms a thin, non-greasy, semi-occlusive layer; on the other hand, it absorbs into the skin through pores and hair follicles thendiffuses into the intercellular spaces of the outer layer of the skin to make it soft and supple. Torriden is a brand I first came across on TikTok and surprisingly it’s a very popular brand in Korea. A lot of their products focus on hydration and for those with acne-prone skin and are so affordable yet effective. In this post, I will be reviewing the brand best selling products and I can’t wait to share what I found with you. Let’s get into it.

To ensure a safe and effective skincare experience, we highly recommend performing a patch test before using a new product. Patch testing helps determine if your skin has any potential sensitivities or allergies to the ingredients. Learn how to conduct a patch test by following our step-by-step instructions here. Your skin's health and well-being matter to us! types of Cermiade–Ceramide NP, NS, AS, EOP, AP– are beautifully blended to moisturize and protect your lips from becoming chapped. This is a 100% vegan formula with Olea Europaea (Olive) fruit oil as the antioxidant, 5 different types of ceramides (helps hold skin cells firmly together in the uppermost skin layer; protects your skin from allergens and external aggressors), and panthenol to help soothe your skin. There is petrolatum in it (aka. petroleum jelly), which does contribute to the familiar oily jelly feeling to the lip balm. This is a definite upgrade to Vaseline though as it stays on the lips a lot longer and has a longer-lasting hydration effect.

Deep hydration care

Balmy lip essence contains deep moisturizing ingredients including 5% organic jojoba oil and five kinds of ceramide to provide hydration . It creates an intensive moisture barrier for the lips. The balm also gets rid of dead skin on lips, leaving them smooth and nourished. Ceramides aid in moisture retention by creating a barrier that keeps in moisture, and prevents extra water loss. Powerful Moisturization: Our T-Percent Ceramide Complex delivers a potent moisturizing effect, ensuring your lips stay moisturized throughout the day. Now the question is only this: If we put ceramides all over our face do theywork as well as ceramides already naturally in our skin? Well, the answer is probably a no, but they do work to some extent. The BeautyBrains blog made a fantastic article about ceramides and they have listed a couple of examples about studies showing that ceramides - especially when used in certain ratios with cholesterol and fatty acids - do hydrate the skin and can help to repair the skin barrier.

This method allows for a more precise application and allows you to control the amount of product used. Moisture Retention: Ceramides work by creating a moisture-retaining barrier that prevents excessive water loss, keeping your lips soft and supple. This works very well for chapped lip in the desert! I layer with Laneige before bed for very soft lips in the morning!

Chemically, a wax ester is a fatty acid + a fatty alcohol, one long molecule. Wax esters are on the outer surface of several plant leaves to give them environmental protection. 25-30% of human sebum is also wax esters to give uspeople environmental protection.
