Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.

A study from 2016 found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid.
As a humectant, it helps the skin stay hydrated by pulling moisture to your skin. The low molecular weight of glycerin allows it to pull moisture into the deeper layers of your skin.
Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.
Glycerin has also been found to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Due to these properties, glycerin is often used in wound and burn treatments.

6-Month Update: Still in love with Torriden! This essence is a keeper—not in my everyday lineup, but I reach for it often. Its viscous texture feels amazing on my skin, and I’m consistently impressed with the entire Solid In line. It truly took me by storm!
Dry skin folks, take note—this essence layers beautifully, absorbs effortlessly, and pairs perfectly with the Solid In Moisturizer. Since Show more
This is one of my go to products when I have a rosacea flare up. It really helps a lot with the burning/stinging sensation I experience during a flare up. I use it with the Solid in ceramide cream. Also helps in reducing redness

This product does work, but it should be noted that it takes a good while to see results. I would say compared to the Anua working for me within 2 weeks I really didn't notice any results until the 4 week mark and that was from using it morning at night. I did purchase this product while it was on sale, but I don't think I liked it enough to repurchase this at regular price.
Cleared two unsightly scars I had on my face, granted they were from picking at my skin rather than acne scars, but definitely cleared them quick enough for me to feel happier about my appearance!
However I believe this was one of the products contributing to my fungal acne flare up :(
