What is Torriden BALANCEFUL Cleansing Gel?
Torriden BALANCEFUL Cleansing Gel is the cleanser from Torriden's BALANCEFUL line, a range built for skin that swings between oily and irritated. Torriden is best known for its DIVE-IN hyaluronic acid range; BALANCEFUL applies the same gentle approach to pores and sebum.
The gel starts clear and slippery, then whips into a soft, low-friction lather. Five forms of centella (centella extract, madecassoside, asiaticoside, asiatic acid and madecassic acid) calm the skin, while LHA, a mild salicylic acid relative, helps keep pores clear. Mild amino-acid and sugar-based cleansers do the washing.
Why low pH matters
Skin's surface is naturally slightly acidic. Cleansers that are close to that level are less likely to leave skin tight, red or stingy, which is especially helpful for sensitive and breakout-prone skin.
Torriden BALANCEFUL Cleansing Gel benefits: what it does for your skin
Clears excess oil and congestion
LHA gently loosens the oil and dead cells that clog pores, so skin feels clean and looks more refined over time.
Calms while it cleans
The 5D cica complex, panthenol, allantoin and witch hazel help settle redness and irritation.
No stripped feeling
Ceramide NP and glycerin keep the skin comfortable after rinsing, even with daily use.
Works as a second cleanse
It removes the oily residue left after an oil cleanser, so sunscreen and makeup come off completely.
Torriden BALANCEFUL Cleansing Gel key ingredients
| Ingredient | What it does |
|---|---|
| 5D cica complex | Five centella forms that soothe and calm |
| Capryloyl salicylic acid (LHA) | Mildly helps clear pores and excess sebum |
| Ceramide NP | Supports the skin barrier |
| Panthenol and allantoin | Soothe and comfort |
| Amino-acid and glucoside cleansers | Gentle, low-irritation cleansing |
This is a gentle cleanser with a mild pore-care ingredient, not a strong exfoliating wash. It is suitable for daily use.
How to use Torriden BALANCEFUL Cleansing Gel (morning and night)
Everyday wash
- Wet your face with lukewarm water, not hot.
- Pump one or two times into wet hands and rub to lather.
- Massage over the face in small circles for 30 to 60 seconds, focusing on the T-zone.
- Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a clean towel.
Morning
One pump is usually enough to remove overnight oil. Follow with toner, moisturiser and sunscreen.
Night
After sunscreen or makeup, start with an oil cleanser such as the ANUA Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil, then use this gel as your second step.
Deep-cleansing tip for congested skin
Torriden suggests spreading the gel over dry skin first and massaging gently, then adding water to turn it into foam before rinsing. Try this once or twice a week on the nose and chin, where pores clog most.
Torriden BALANCEFUL Cleansing Gel results: how long until you see a difference?
Skin feels clean and comfortable straight away. With twice-daily use, oiliness and the look of congested pores usually improve over two to four weeks. Calmer, less reactive skin can show within a week or two if your previous cleanser was harsh.
Pores themselves do not shrink permanently, but when they stay clear of oil and debris they look smaller and the skin looks smoother. Keep a simple routine for the first month so you can see what the cleanser is doing, and judge the change in natural daylight rather than under bathroom lighting, which tends to exaggerate texture.
Does Torriden BALANCEFUL Cleansing Gel have side effects?
It is gentle, but LHA is a mild exfoliant, so very sensitive skin may feel a light tingle at first. Avoid the eye area, and if you also use strong acids or retinoids, watch for dryness and cut back on those treatments rather than the cleanser.
Torriden BALANCEFUL Cleansing Gel vs Foam cleansers
| BALANCEFUL Cleansing Gel | Typical foam cleansers | |
|---|---|---|
| pH | Low, close to skin's natural level | Often higher |
| After-feel | Clean but comfortable | Can feel tight or squeaky |
| Best for | Sensitive, combination, breakout-prone skin | Very oily skin that tolerates stronger cleansing |
If you like a classic foam, the CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser is gentle for a foam. For stronger pore care, the CeraVe SA Smoothing Cleanser has more exfoliation, and for very dry or reactive skin, the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser is the mildest option.
Who should use it, and who might prefer something else
Great for
- Combination skin with an oily T-zone and sensitive cheeks.
- Breakout-prone skin that reacts to harsh foams.
- Anyone double cleansing in hot, humid weather.
Think twice if
- Your skin is extremely dry and flaky; a cream cleanser may feel better in winter.
- You need heavy exfoliation; this gel is mild by design.
What does the Torriden Balanceful toner pad do?
The BALANCEFUL line also includes toner pads aimed at pores and oil. They are a separate product; this page covers the cleansing gel, which works well alongside any gentle toner.
Cleansing mistakes that make oily skin worse
Oily skin often gets oilier when it is cleaned too hard. These are the habits we see most often, and what to do instead.
- Washing three or four times a day: twice is enough, plus a rinse with water after the gym.
- Using very hot water: it strips oil and the skin responds by making more. Lukewarm is best.
- Scrubbing with rough cloths or brushes: massage with fingertips instead.
- Skipping moisturiser: dehydrated skin can look shinier. Use a light gel cream.
- Leaving sunscreen on overnight: always double cleanse on sunscreen days.
Washing in hard water
In many Pakistani cities the water is hard, which can leave a film that makes skin feel tight. A low-pH gel helps, and following with a hydrating toner straight after drying restores comfort quickly.
Summer versus winter
In summer, oily and combination skin can use the gel morning and night without any issue. In winter, if your cheeks feel dry, keep it for the evening and simply rinse with water in the morning.
Building a complete Torriden routine
After cleansing, press in the Torriden DIVE-IN Low Molecular Hyaluronic Acid Toner, then the Torriden DIVE-IN Hyaluronic Acid Serum. Seal with the Torriden SOLID-IN Ceramide Cream if your skin is dry, or a light gel cream if it is oily. Finish with sunscreen in the morning.
In summer, many oily-skin users keep just cleanser, toner, serum and SPF, which is often all skin needs in high humidity.

Original vs fake Torriden BALANCEFUL Cleansing Gel: how to check
Compare the bottle against the product photos on this page: the label should be sharp, the pump should lock and release cleanly, and batch codes on the box and bottle should match. The gel itself should be clear to lightly tinted and slippery, with a soft lather and a faint herbal scent.
