Torriden SOLID-IN Lip Essence is a lip care product from Korean skincare brand Torriden, marketed as an all-in-one solution that covers everything from hydration to gentle exfoliation.
Its key feature is the brand’s proprietary 5D Ceramide Complex, formulated with five types of ceramides (Ceramide AP, AS, NP, NS, and EOP). This blend is designed to create a moisture barrier that helps prevent water loss. The formula also includes moisturizing ingredients such as Jeju hijiki extract and jojoba seed oil.
It can be used not only for daytime lip hydration but also as a lip sleeping mask by applying a thicker layer before bed. The texture is designed to soften and melt on contact with the lips, making it comfortable to use throughout the day or night.

After testing Torriden's SOLID-IN Lip Essence, here are the key points we think it does well below. If you’re thinking about buying it, they’re worth a look.
In moisture retention tests, Torriden SOLID-IN Lip Essence received a strong rating. Both the moisture retention rate and remaining moisture level after three hours exceeded the benchmark used for evaluation, indicating that it helps keep lips well hydrated.
Because the hydrated feel lasts, it’s a good option for those who want to reduce frequent reapplication. It’s especially suitable for dry seasons or for use in air-conditioned indoor environments, where lips tend to lose moisture more easily.
Ease of application received very positive feedback. When testers tried it, most commented, "the soft texture makes it easy to apply, resulting in a comfortable, natural feel on the lips without any noticeable heaviness."
It also leaves minimal oily residue or stickiness, while still providing enough moisture. This makes it a good choice for those who prioritize a light, comfortable lip balm that feels pleasant to wear.
We noticed one potential drawback for users during our review. It is worth considering if lip chapping is a concern for you during the day.
When it comes to ingredients for preventing chapped or irritated lips, the formula scored on the lower end. Based on our ingredient analysis, we couldn’t confirm the inclusion of components specifically designed for anti-chapping.
If your lips tend to get easily irritated or chapped, this formula may feel a bit lacking, so checking other lip care options could be a good idea.
