The Best of Korean Skincare Must Haves (2023-2024)

 Hey Subbies,

Happy New Year! I've been trying to write this post for over a month but I'm kind of glad I waited because the majority of Skincare Enthusiast Vloggers posted their videos literally on the last week of December into the New Year. I had been saving the videos as they popped into my feed to watch later so I could go through them when I had access to my computer again. I don't really like working on data-driven posts on my iPad Air unless I have my files already set up. Also, I thought about using  ChatGPT to gather the data from each video but that's not a feature on free accounts. Anyways, last year Beauty of Josen was the top viral brand and it was a battle between it and Roundlab. This year's best on the Haewha app is Torriden which has been gaining more attention and is a household staple in Korea and hopefully it can become a worldwide hit.

Why has Torriden become a paradise for rare wild animals?

It is not artificial for human selfishness and needs.

This was because we have protected and cared for a harmless environment necessary for life.

To us, your skin is another important environment that we must protect.

Torriden, the highlands of Scotland, is a clean area blessed with nature, where deer with mysterious horns freely roam the meadows and rare species of birds busily come and go in and out of the lake. Torriden was inspired by the diversity of life in Torriden, a natural beauty and symbol of harmlessness that has existed for over 700 million years.

Simple 

We use rare and new ingredients to dramatically change your skin.

Although we live surrounded by exaggerated messages, what really protects and cares for us every day is not flashy newness, but simplicity that is faithful to the basics. Torriden's mission is not to inject fancy ingredients and efficacy, listening to the inner skin of your skin and creating the healthy environment that your skin wants, will allow your inner confidence to reveal itself.

Together

Just as nature naturally creates a healthy ecosystem when its own environmental needs are met, we believe that all the answers lie within you. All of Toriden's products start from your words of discomfort and satisfaction. What is important to you is not only efficacy, but also the feel on the skin, absorption, retention, and sustainable skin comfort. We

believe that healthy skin can make your daily life happier through the perfect balance between function and sensation.

Positive 

What makes healthy skin and a beautiful life shine even more is the sustainable coexistence between us and the world around us. We will contribute to creating a healthy life for everyone through sustainable packaging and cruelty-free efforts, as well as efforts to change our daily lives healthily and positively.
