Hi!
I really want to try this, but I'm unsure which shade to go for.. Considering either Opal or Silk, but it's hard since I can't see it in person or get a sample..
I use Nars light reflecting foundation in the shade Oslo.

Hey Eline 💌
Based on the fact that you use NARS Light Reflecting in Oslo, I would recommend 0N1 Silk as the closest match. It has light with a neutral undertone, just like Oslo. However, if you feel that your skin leans more towards pink, 0C1 Opal could be a good alternative.
Have a great day ahead💓
I just bought this, and previously another cream from Torriden. (Balanceful Cica Cream)
From what I can see, is it not harmful to use these at the same time?
Maybe one cream during the day and one at night?
I'm a bit new when it comes to ingredients that can be mixed and not, so I really appreciate an answer :)

Heihei 🥰
Since both of these products are moisturizers, I would absolutely recommend sticking to one cream at a time 🤞
You can use Drunk Elephant Bora Barrier Cream together with Torriden Balanceful Cica Cream, but it depends a bit on your skin's needs and how you set up your routine.
✅ How to combine them?
🔹 Bora Barrier Cream
→ A richer cream with ceramides, peptides, and moisturizing ingredients that support the skin barrier.
🔹 Balanceful Cica Cream
→ Lighter, soothing cream with centella (cica), ideal for sensitive skin and redness.
Usage methods:
✔ Alternate morning/evening:
🌞 Morning: Torriden Balanceful Cica Cream (light and soothing).
🌙 Evening: Drunk Elephant Bora Barrier Cream (richer and more reparative).
✔ Layering (if you need extra moisture):
1️⃣ Apply Torriden Cica Cream first (as a soothing serum/light cream).
2️⃣ Follow up with Bora Barrier Cream to seal in moisture and strengthen the barrier.
🚨 Be careful if...
You have oily skin: Layering can become too much, as Bora Barrier is quite rich.
You notice that your skin becomes shiny or sticky: Then it’s enough to use one of them.
But generally, they are safe to combine and can be a nice duo if your skin needs both barrier strengthening and soothing. 😊✨
Wishing you a nice day ahead 💓
