A sample-sized rescue for skin stressed by Mauritius's tropical climate. This lightweight gel-cream is expertly formulated with Torriden's exclusive 5D Cica Complex to quickly calm redness, soothe irritation, and strengthen a compromised skin barrier. It provides balanced hydration without feeling heavy or greasy, making it an ideal choice for oily, combination, and sensitive skin types that need comfort and relief from environmental triggers like heat, humidity, and sun exposure.

Feeling like your skin is constantly irritated, red, or breaking out from sensitivity? This cream is designed to bring your skin back to a calm, comfortable state.

• Who it's for: Ideal for oily, combination, sensitive, and acne-prone skin types experiencing redness, irritation, or a weakened skin barrier.
• What to expect: A feather-light gel-cream texture that absorbs quickly, leaving skin feeling soothed, hydrated, and comfortable with a soft, non-greasy finish.
• Primary Benefits: Rapidly calms visible redness, soothes inflammation from breakouts or environmental stress, and helps repair the skin's protective barrier.
• Trial Size: This 2ml sachet provides 2-4 applications, perfect for testing the texture and initial soothing effects before committing to the full size.

1. Cleanse: Start with a gentle face wash to create a clean base.
2. Apply Cream: Squeeze out about a pea-sized amount of the Balanceful Cica Cream and gently pat it onto your face and neck.
3. Protect (AM) or Rest (PM): In the morning, always follow with sunscreen (SPF 30+). In the evening, this is your final step.

Mindful Tip: Already own a similar moisturiser? Finish it first to prevent waste and give your skin a consistent routine. This sample is for trying something new once your current product is empty.

A morning routine focused on calming and protection.

1. Cleanser: Wash your face with a gentle, low-pH cleanser.
2. Toner/Serum (Optional): Apply a lightweight hydrating or soothing toner/serum for an extra layer of comfort.
3. Torriden BALANCEFUL Cica Cream: Apply a pea-sized amount to lock in hydration and calm the skin.
4. Sunscreen: Finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher). This is a non-negotiable step to protect sensitive skin and prevent irritation from worsening.

A night routine focused on repair and strengthening the skin barrier.

1. Double Cleanse: Start with an oil-based cleanser to melt away sunscreen and makeup, then follow with a water-based foam or gel cleanser.
2. Toner/Serum (Optional): Apply any targeted serums (like niacinamide for pores or a hydrating essence).
3. Torriden BALANCEFUL Cica Cream: Apply a pea-sized amount as your final step to soothe and moisturise your skin overnight.

• Amount: A pea-sized amount is sufficient for the entire face. A little more for the neck.
• How to Apply: After your toner and serum steps, take the cream and gently spread it over your face. Lightly pat to aid absorption.
• Frequency: Can be used daily, both morning and night.
• Pro Tip for Mauritius Climate: In hot, humid weather, this lightweight cream might be all the moisture you need in the morning before sunscreen. In drier, air-conditioned environments or during cooler months, you can layer it over a hydrating toner or serum for extra comfort.

This cream is a daily soother, perfect for supporting your skin when you use stronger active ingredients. Here’s an example schedule:

• Daily Use: Apply the Torriden Cica Cream every morning and every night as your moisturiser.
• When Using Actives (PM):
  • Monday (Exfoliation): Use your AHA/BHA product, then follow with the Torriden Cica Cream to soothe.
  • Tuesday (Soothing): Use only gentle, hydrating products, finishing with the Torriden Cica Cream.
  • Wednesday (Retinoid): Apply your retinoid product, then follow with the Torriden Cica Cream to buffer and reduce potential irritation.
  • Thursday (Soothing): Gentle routine with the Torriden Cica Cream.
  • Friday (Exfoliation): Use your AHA/BHA, followed by the Torriden Cica Cream.
  • Saturday & Sunday (Barrier Repair): Focus on hydration and repair, using the Torriden Cica Cream as your final step.

Golden Rule: Avoid using strong exfoliants (AHAs/BHAs) and retinoids on the same night. This cream is your best friend on "off-nights" to help your skin recover and stay balanced.

• Immediately: Skin feels instantly calmer, soothed, and comfortably hydrated. Any tightness from cleansing is relieved. The lightweight texture sinks in without a heavy or sticky feeling.
• Within 2-4 Weeks: With consistent use, you may notice a visible reduction in general redness and inflammation. Your skin barrier will feel stronger, meaning it becomes less reactive to triggers like heat or new products.
• After 8+ Weeks: Skin appears more balanced and resilient. Irritation-related breakouts may become less frequent. The overall tone looks calmer and more even as chronic inflammation subsides.

Myth: "Oily or sensitive skin should avoid moisturisers to prevent breakouts and irritation."

Reality: Skipping moisturiser can make things worse. When oily skin is dehydrated, it often produces even more oil to compensate, leading to more clogged pores. Sensitive skin with a weak barrier needs moisture to repair itself and become less reactive. Instead of avoiding moisturisers, choose the right one. The Torriden BALANCEFUL Cica Cream provides lightweight, non-comedogenic hydration that calms the skin, helps balance oil production, and strengthens the barrier without feeling heavy or causing irritation. This is a safer and more effective approach than drying your skin out.

• Works Well With:
  • Hydrating Ingredients: Pairs beautifully with Hyaluronic Acid, Beta-Glucan, and Snail Mucin to boost hydration without heaviness.
  • Niacinamide: Works synergistically to help control oil, reduce the appearance of pores, and further calm inflammation.
  • Sunscreens: Its lightweight texture layers perfectly under sunscreen without pilling.
• Use With Caution:
  • Active Ingredients (Retinoids, AHAs, BHAs): This cream is excellent to use in the same routine as actives. Apply it after your active serum to soothe, moisturise, and buffer potential irritation, helping your skin tolerate treatments better.
• Avoid: There are no major ingredient conflicts. Due to its lightweight texture, apply it before any very heavy, occlusive facial oils if you choose to use them.

• ✅ Oily Skin: Excellent. Provides necessary hydration without adding grease or shine. Helps balance sebum production over time.
• ✅ Combination Skin: Excellent. Hydrates drier patches without overwhelming oily areas like the T-zone.
• ✅ Sensitive Skin: Excellent. Specifically formulated with soothing ingredients to reduce redness and reactivity.
• ✅ Acne-Prone Skin: Excellent. Calms inflammation associated with breakouts and is non-comedogenic. Helps repair the barrier, which can reduce acne.
• 🟡 Normal Skin: Good. A great option for a lightweight daily moisturiser, especially for daytime or in humid weather.
• ❌ Very Dry Skin: Use with caution. While hydrating, it may not be occlusive enough as a standalone moisturiser, especially at night. You might need to layer a richer cream or a facial oil on top.

• Redness & Irritation: Directly soothes and calms visible redness and sensations of heat or stinging with its potent 5D Cica Complex.
• Compromised Skin Barrier: Helps repair and strengthen a weakened barrier, making skin less prone to sensitivity and dehydration. Ingredients like Panthenol and Allantoin support this process.
• Inflammatory Acne: Reduces the inflammation and redness associated with active breakouts, helping them to heal more calmly and potentially reducing the risk of post-inflammatory marks.
• Dehydrated Oily/Combination Skin: Provides essential water-based hydration to balance the skin, helping to reduce the overproduction of oil that can happen when skin is dehydrated.

• Fragrance: This product is fragrance-free. It contains no synthetic fragrances or essential oils, making it an excellent choice for sensitive skin that reacts to scents.
• Scent Profile: It has virtually no detectable scent, other than a very faint, clean smell from the raw ingredients themselves.
• EU Allergens: This product is formulated without the common allergens listed by the EU. Its minimalist formula is designed to be as non-irritating as possible.

This product is formulated for sensitive skin, but we always recommend taking precautions.

• Who Should Use It: Suitable for all skin types, especially those with sensitive, oily, or acne-prone skin. It is gentle enough for daily use.
• Who Should Use With Caution: Individuals with extremely dry skin may find this cream too lightweight for nighttime use and might need to layer it with a richer product.
• Patch Test Protocol: Before using it on your entire face for the first time, apply a pea-sized amount to a small, discreet area, such as behind your ear or on your jawline. Wait for 24-48 hours to check for any signs of redness, itching, or irritation. If your skin feels comfortable, you can proceed with using it on your face.
• General Safety: For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes. Discontinue use if a persistent rash or irritation occurs. Keep out of reach of children.

• Texture: A very lightweight, almost watery gel-cream. It spreads effortlessly and feels refreshing on the skin.
• Finish: Absorbs quickly and leaves a soft, hydrated, natural skin finish. It is not greasy, sticky, or shiny.
• pH Level: Approximately 5.0 - 6.0. This slightly acidic pH is close to the skin's natural pH, which helps to maintain a healthy skin barrier.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Safety: The ingredient list is considered safe for those with fungal acne. It is free from common triggers like esters, fatty acids, and fermented ingredients.

• "My skin still feels a bit dry after using it."
  This is a lightweight gel-cream. If your skin is very dry or dehydrated, try applying it to damp skin after your toner or layering a hydrating serum (like one with hyaluronic acid) underneath. For nighttime, you can follow up with a few drops of a non-comedogenic facial oil or a sleeping mask to seal in the moisture.
• "It feels like it disappears too quickly."
  This is by design! The fast absorption is ideal for oily and combination skin types who dislike a heavy feeling. If you prefer a more lasting "cushion" on the skin, this may be better suited as your daytime cream, with a richer option for the evening.

• Humid Summer: This cream is an outstanding choice for Mauritius's hot and humid months. Its lightweight, non-greasy texture provides essential hydration and calming benefits without feeling suffocating or contributing to excess shine. It's perfect as a daytime moisturiser under sunscreen.
• Drier Winter/AC Environments: During the cooler, drier winter months or if you spend a lot of time in air-conditioning, you might need an extra layer of hydration. Use this cream over a hydrating essence or serum to ensure your skin stays balanced and comfortable.
• After Sun Exposure: Its excellent soothing properties make it a wonderful after-sun treatment to calm redness and inflammation after a day at the beach or outdoors.

• For a Classic Soothing Cream with a Richer Feel: ETUDE SOONJUNG 2X BARRIER INTENSIVE CREAM 60ML — Choose this if you love barrier-repair ingredients like Panthenol and Madecassoside but prefer a slightly richer, more comforting cream texture that's still famously gentle and minimalist.

Mindful Use: If you already have a comparable product at home, we encourage you to finish it first to avoid waste and get a fair read on its results before trying something new.

• Packaging: This product comes in a 2ml foil sachet. It is hygienic and sealed for freshness.
• Travel-Friendliness: The sachet format is extremely lightweight and travel-friendly, perfect for taking on a trip or carrying in your bag for post-gym use.
