Let me set the scene.
I bought the d’Alba White Truffle First Spray Serum months ago during a sale. I used it once, thought “nice,” and promptly forgot about it. Classic.
Cut to: me, deep into spring, skin freaking out from heat + stress + late nights. I randomly picked this up again and… oh.
OH.
This spray is the definition of effortless skincare.
It looks like something fancy, and it kind of is. It’s got a bi-phase formula — you know, the milky layer that makes you feel like a skincare chemist when you shake it. But the real magic is in how it lands on the skin:
→ Fine, even mist. Like a cloud. Not aggressive. Doesn’t drench your face.
→ Light glow. Not glass skin. Not dewy sweat. Just soft, healthy radiance.
→ Zero stickiness. Just smooth hydration that sits perfectly under makeup or over it.

How I use it now:
• 6AM zombie face? Mist it.
• Midday slouch at my desk? Mist it.
• Right after skincare, before SPF? Mist.
• Before setting powder to avoid cake? You guessed it: mist.
Is it life-changing?
Not in a dramatic way.
But in a “my skin just looks better when I use it” kind of way?
Absolutely.
It’s not loud, it’s not flashy, but it’s become a quiet essential. I went from “maybe I’ll give this away” to “wait, I think I need the refill set.”

TL;DR:
Not a holy grail.
But the more I used it, the more I realized that this spray just gets my skin.
Does this work for oily skin or will it make me slick?
Can you use it as a makeup setting spray?
Is the truffle extract just marketing fluff?
How many spritzes per use?
- Finest mist nozzle in existence
- Gives that 'I drank water today' glow
- Works as both skincare AND makeup refresher
- No white cast or residue
- Luxe but not overpowering scent
But the thing is :
- Price makes me use it sparingly
- Glass bottle = constant fear of dropping
- Oil separation requires shaking
- Makes you look fancy so coworkers keep stealing it
- Creates unrealistic expectations for all other mists
