How many sprays should I use, and from how far away?

Hold it roughly ten to twenty centimetres back, shut your eyes, and give the pump four or five presses to cover everything. Press what lands in with your palms instead of rubbing it around, which only moves it about. Skin on the oilier side, or a face already wearing makeup, tends to do better starting at two presses and building up only if the finish still looks thirsty afterwards.

Can I spray this over makeup?

You can. The particles are fine enough to settle without disturbing most bases, and one light pass partway through the day brings a powdery-looking face back to life. Keep to a couple of presses, hold the bottle further back than you otherwise would, and give it a moment to sink in before touching your face. Going heavy across a full face of makeup is the one reliable way to make everything slide.

It is. The ingredient list carries fragrance along with linalool, limonene, citronellol and hexyl cinnamal, making this a scented leave-on product rather than a neutral one. That is worth weighing up if perfumed skincare has caused you bother before. Try a small patch to begin with, then give your skin a couple of days to tell you how it feels, rather than deciding on the strength of one application.

Will the oil layer feel heavy on combination skin?

It should not, so long as you go lightly. That oil phase is built from avocado, sunflower and soybean oils, all of which sit far lighter than a facial oil used on its own, and the water essence still carries most of the volume. Combination and oilier complexions generally get on best with two or three presses instead of a full five, plus half a minute for everything to settle before moisturiser goes on.

Yes. d'Alba holds V-Label certification for this formula, the international vegan mark issued through the European Vegetarian Union, and nothing in the ingredient list comes from an animal. Worth separating the two questions, though: vegan and cruelty-free are not the same thing, and because we have not found product-specific cruelty-free certification for this mist, we have deliberately left that tag off.

Does it replace my sunscreen or my moisturiser?

Neither, really. There is no SPF in it, so your usual broad-spectrum sunscreen still goes on every morning exactly as it did before. Moisturiser is more of a judgement call: the oil phase leaves enough cushion that some people happily stop there on warm days, though drier skin will usually still want a cream over the top to seal everything in overnight.

PRODUCT DETAILS

d'Alba First Spray Serum is a two-layer facial mist in a 100 ml pump bottle. Shake it and the golden serum oil folds down into the water essence below, so a single press delivers both at once. Use it straight after cleansing, between steps, or over makeup whenever your face wants a drink.

The water phase leads with niacinamide, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid and hydroxyethyl urea to pull moisture in; the oil phase cushions them with avocado, sunflower and soybean oils. Tuber magnatum, the Italian white truffle this brand is named for, sits at 1,740 ppm beside adenosine and bifida ferment lysate.

The finish lands dewy rather than greasy, which suits dry, normal and combination skin that reads flat by afternoon or feels tight soon after washing. Oilier complexions can enjoy it with a lighter hand: two spritzes rather than five.

One thing worth knowing before you buy is that this formula is scented, carrying linalool, limonene, citronellol and hexyl cinnamal. If perfumed leave-on products rarely suit you, patch it somewhere quiet first.

Concerns & Benefits

Your Concerns

1
Dehydration
Skin that feels tight an hour after cleansing and stays thirsty however much you drink.
2
Dull Skin
A complexion that reads flat and tired under daylight, no matter how early you slept.

How To Use

1On first use the nozzle ships locked, so press the pump firmly all the way down until you hear it click.
2Shake the bottle three to five times until the gold band at the top disappears into the liquid below. Holding it roughly a hand's width from your face, mist evenly across the whole surface with your eyes shut, then pat what lands in using your palms rather than sweeping it around.
3It works best on skin still damp from cleansing, and again at any point the day dries you out: before heading outside, after coming back in, on a plane, or across a base that has gone powdery. Carry on with the rest of your routine afterwards, and leave your morning sunscreen step exactly as it is.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to shake it before every use?

Yes, every single time. This bottle stores a water essence underneath a golden serum oil, and the two drift apart again between uses. Three to five brisk shakes bring them back together, so one press gives you the blend the formula was designed around instead of mostly water or mostly oil. The gold band sitting at the top of the bottle will vanish into the liquid as it mixes, and that is your cue that it is ready to go.
