What they liked

  • Instant glass skin glow
  • Works well over makeup as a setting spray
  • Light texture, not greasy despite oil content

What they flagged

  • Heavily fragranced, may irritate sensitive skin
  • Requires thorough shaking to emulsify oils

What the gurus are saying

This spray serum delivers an instant glass-skin glow that multiple gurus say draws real compliments, and it layers beautifully over or under makeup without feeling greasy. The heavy fragrance is a genuine dealbreaker for those avoiding scent in skincare, though reviewers who tested it found the scent mild and fades quickly after application. Those with oily or acne-prone skin may want to patch-test first, as the formula works best for people comfortable with some fragrance.

"This is my all-time favorite mist, the Dalba First Spray Serum. I'm almost finished with this mini size. It makes everything look better and it's what I used on my wedding day."
Top Pick: setting mist
Yay
"This is viral for a reason. This gives a very beautiful glow to the skin. It's kind of like a bi-phase serum, so it's got a little oil layer in here. Smells fantastic."
Yay
"This is an oil and traditional toner in one, you need to give this a really good shake, emulsify it, bring it together, spritz that and you'll get that dose of hydration, [...] calm and soothe. [...] I was a skeptic when I first tried it because I don't like a lot of oils in my skincare routine, but that just gets it right, oily without being greasy. [...] Keep it in the fridge for the ultimate cooling. I'd say it's probably best for hydration, and I use this if I need extra hydration."

Worlds BESTSELLING KOREAN SKINCARE 2026 - Hottest K-Skincare Ever
"This is designed to be a mist spray and an oil all-in-one. [...] It plumps, hydrates, and nourishes. It definitely gives you that instant glass skin glow. [...] It's a nice serum that gives you a nice glow and radiance. [...] The issue I've got with this is all their products are very heavily fragranced. I like a little fragrance in my skincare and I will say that the scent dissipates after like 20 seconds so it's not one of those that lingers. But a lot of people don't want fragrance in their skincare. If that's you, this is a firm pass. [...] I got it when there was like a 40% off sale. [...] For the sale price, this is amazing. It's just a nice finishing spray and you could use it during the day if you wanted to refresh things and that's really great. I just think the fragrance is going to be a dealbreaker for certain people. [...] If you want to avoid fragrance, that whole line is going to be just out of bounds. But for everyone else that likes a little fragrance, it's gone now."
ULTIMATE SKINCARE FAVORITES 2026 - Best New Skincare I Tried This Year
"The D'Alba First serum spray is a beautiful hydrating glow up mist that everyone is going mad for online, [...] but it's quite heavily fragranced. I personally don't mind that, but if you're looking for a fragrance-free alternative, the Pixie one [...] is cheaper and you get slightly more product. [...] I do like this, just the caveat being it's got a lot of fragrance in, that's not for you, this isn't going to be the product for you."
5 KOREAN SKINCARE PRODUCTS YOU NEED TO TRY - Must-Have K-Skincare 2026
"Acts as a facial oil and a plumping serum all in one. Has a blend of oils that deeply nourish and hydrate and lock in moisture, plus calming and soothing ingredients including oak kernel extract, one of the most effective anti-inflammatory and calming ingredients around, unusual to see in a lighter serum like this. Also has a blend of plumping ingredients for hydration and plumpness. Acts as a facial oil, a calming and soothing serum, and a mist or essence too. Best kept in the fridge for the best results and cooling experience, shake well before spritzing to work the oils in. Light to the touch, not greasy, wearable in the heat, and gives an instant glow. Price varies, paid around £11 on TikTok Shop, standard retail is about £15 to £16. The only thing to flag, unlike the other four products mentioned, is that it does contain a small amount of fragrance, which is fine for some but something to know if you're looking for fragrance-free skincare."

"This is an oil and traditional toner in one, you need to give this a really good shake, emulsify it, bring it together, spritz that and you'll get that dose of hydration, [...] calm and soothe. [...] I was a skeptic when I first tried it because I don't like a lot of oils in my skincare routine, but that just gets it right, oily without being greasy. [...] Keep it in the fridge for the ultimate cooling. I'd say it's probably best for hydration, and I use this if I need extra hydration."
Yay
"Every time I use this and I go out in public, [...] sometimes I will get someone asking me how my skin looks so radiant. How do you get that glow to your skin? And I always say it's from this facial mist because it is. [...] This is the best thing on top of makeup. This is way better than a regular makeup setting spray. This will give that longevity. It keeps your makeup in place as well. You can use this as many times as you like throughout the day. It's not going to give that greasy shiny look to your skin, but you will have that glow. You will have that glass-like looking radiance to your skin. The more you apply, yes, your face will look glowier and glowier. [...] I really like this in my skincare routine as well. You can use this so many different ways. It's great for all skin types, including acne, including sensitive skin. I'm acne prone. I have combination skin. This doesn't break me out. It is non-comedogenic. There is fragrance. It is very mild. If you don't like fragrance, then you might want to pass on this. But it is very mild. It's very fresh smelling. It doesn't smell like floral. It's not fruity. [...] Once I spray it on my skin after it has dried down, I don't smell it anymore. This really is a lovely K beauty product."
Yay
"This became popular more outside of Korea, beauty influencers started this brand, so people are still a little skeptical, but once I tried it, it's pretty good. Compared to others it's definitely a heavier one, it becomes a little sticky and tacky. If you do your makeup after it, foundation sticks so well, I prefer it for makeup too. I'd never recommend using it with a cotton pad, just pat it onto your skin. A fellow makeup artist in her 20s with combo skin felt this was too stuffy for her, but if you have mature skin you'll like it."

Korean Skincare products that are actually POPULAR in Korea
"I recommend the d'Alba White Truffle First Spray Serum for normal to dry mature skin, it's not suitable for oily skin or summer, don't forget it's an oil. If you spray it more than three or four times and you have oily skin, it gets way too oily. I leave it in the bathroom and use it instead of toner, you can take care of your face and neck with it. Mist isn't a category I love, but it's effective in summer, spray it when your face is red and warm and it lowers your body temperature, and it's good preparation before makeup. It has a strong scent, and there are quite a few reviews of people getting a reaction to it, so keep that in mind."
Yay
"The d'Alba White Truffle First Spray Serum is a spray serum. It has kind of like an oil and a mist in one. This is a really beautiful skin care product in general. It provides hydration without being oily, which is really important because you don't want too much hydration under your eyes. I really love this. I truly use these interchangeably. If you want to use something that's more of a skin care kind of ingredient or product, this is really great."

Glowy Makeup that STAYS PUT ALL DAY
"This is Korea's number one skin care selling product that is trusted by Korean makeup artists. I love to work a setting mist into the sponge to either rehydrate it if I'm lazy and don't want to go get water, or because this spray serum has moisturizing and skincare effects, it's really going to help create a glow, a natural glow to the skin, and it can help prevent pilling, creasing, all of the things that we're trying to avoid."
I'm SOOO sorry but this is the best makeup look ever
"I'm doing my little trick with my d'Alba spray which a lot of you if you haven't seen that video I'll link it above, um I talk about creasing. This is a lot, so many of you guys picked up the spray and you've been loving it for this little technique. Just helps to prevent creasing, hydrates the area, it just like sets everything. It's so beautiful."
Yay
"I've been using this for years now and I can't overstate how important it is, especially in very dry conditions, to constantly be humidifying your face. But especially with a formula that has some lipids in it, it's got some fat, and when you have fats in it, it just holds everything in. This has just the right combination that you get the glow without the greasiness, and it just makes everything sit and look really nice. Instant glow. I've noticed it's also actually really good on the hair as well. But also this has been my go-to for long haul flights."

"The d'Alba First Spray Serum, spray, done. Great primer. [...] Primers, for me, do something to the skin tone and the skin texture, and those things help even it all out."

The sun WILL Ruin Your Makeup | Summer-proof foundation
"d'Alba have given me a new first serum spray. This is more of a serum, our serums and our skincare routine are first before our moisturizer. What I want to do with this mist first is hydrate my face and drench my face. Smells incredible. I'm going to let that settle on my skin. The key to making sure your makeup lasts the longest it can, anytime really but even more so through the summer months, is recognizing how much moisture your skin needs on that day. The best way to understand your hydration levels and what your skin needs is to overhydrate like this and let it sit on the skin."

"The d'Alba White Truffle First Spray Serum [...] has that White Truffle ingredient that's going to leave your skin with a beautiful glow. If you're oily, this is going to be a game changer for you. It has ingredients that hydrate. It has ingredients that soothe the skin, but it's not going to be over hydrating for under your makeup. [...] You do get that White Truffle glow with this product. [...] It's as easy as spraying onto your face. And you're not going to want to stop because it smells amazing."
Yay
"I came across this first spray serum that was a best seller at the store that I was in and this is a truffle serum from d'Alba. It's white truffle from Italy and this is actually a mixture of white truffle as well as avocado but this is an absolute bestseller and a lot of people from Italy to Korea to those who are now discovering it in the states are spraying it on for this glowy fresh skin look. Now that's amazing because it gives the skin this nice radiance all over and that's the main thing when it comes to looking greasy versus looking glowy. Glowy skin tends to have this radiance and this shine kind of on the forehead and the tops of the cheeks a little bit on the chin but it's not overdone on the corners of the nose in the middles of the cheeks in the middle of the eyebrows or on the corners of the eyebrows and that's really how you can tell if someone looks hydrated and healthy versus greasy."

"The White Truffle First Spray Serum I've used before, absolutely love it. This is one I'm going to take everywhere with me because of the actual glow that it gives me, the instant glow that it gives me, whilst all those ingredients are working to actually hydrate, soothe, moisturize my skin. This is still fairly new for me, first impressions still, but first impressions are very very good. I absolutely love it so far."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Source: DermNet

Urea

Urea both holds water in the skin and gently loosens dead surface cells. At higher strengths it has good evidence for very dry or thickened skin.

Source: DermNet

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
