d'Alba Piedmont is a Korean skincare brand whose entire identity is built around Italian White Truffle — specifically Tuber Magnatum, the most prized and expensive truffle species grown in the Piedmont and Tuscany regions of northern Italy.

This serum toner is the first step of d'Alba's Vita Toning brightening routine: a lightweight, serum-textured toner that layers Italian White Truffle, nano liposome-encapsulated glutathione, 2% niacinamide and sea buckthorn water into a single step. Fragrance-free. Italian Vegan certified. Sold at Ulta. 180ml.

• Sea Buckthorn Water 117,600ppm — The Vitamin-Rich Base — rather than plain purified water as the primary solvent, d'Alba uses Hippophae Rhamnoides (sea buckthorn) water at 117,600ppm (nearly 12% of the formula); sea buckthorn is one of the most nutrient-dense plants on earth — its berries contain 190+ bioactive compounds including vitamin C at 15x the concentration of oranges, omega-7 (palmitoleic acid), beta-carotene, vitamin E, flavonoids and phytosterols; using sea buckthorn water as the base means every drop of this toner carries these bioactives in a naturally vitamin-rich aqueous form
• Trufferol™ — Italian White Truffle + Vitamin E Patented Complex — Tuber Magnatum (Italian White Truffle) is d'Alba's signature ingredient; white truffle extract contains polysaccharides, amino acids and antioxidant compounds that support skin elasticity, smooth fine lines and boost luminosity; d'Alba combines it with Tocopherol (vitamin E) into their patented Trufferol™ antioxidant complex; Trufferol™ is the foundational active across the entire d'Alba White Truffle line and the reason the brand is positioned at a luxury Italian-Korean intersection
• Glutathione — Nano Liposome Encapsulated for Deep Absorption — glutathione (98% pure) is encapsulated in nano liposomes using Hydrogenated Lecithin as the phospholipid carrier; liposome encapsulation creates microscopic lipid spheres around the glutathione molecules, protecting them from oxidation before application and enabling them to fuse with skin cell membranes for deep delivery; topically, glutathione shifts melanin production from dark eumelanin toward lighter phaeomelanin and scavenges free radicals that trigger oxidative stress pigmentation; the nano encapsulation makes this substantially more bioavailable than free glutathione
• Niacinamide 2% (20,000ppm) + Saccharomyces Ferment + Polyquaternium-51 — niacinamide at 2% inhibits melanosome transfer, strengthens barrier and controls sebum; Saccharomyces (yeast) ferment filtrate delivers fermentation-concentrated amino acids, vitamins and beta-glucan for skin renewal; Polyquaternium-51 is a phospholipid polymer that mimics cell membrane structure, forming a moisture-sealing film and enhancing the penetration of the actives layered above it
• 4 Botanical Oils + 2 HA Types + Centella + Collagen Extract — Linseed (omega-3 ALA), Avocado (oleic acid, vitamin E), Olive (squalene, antioxidant polyphenols) and Evening Primrose (GLA omega-6) provide a lightweight lipid nourishment layer without heaviness; Sodium Hyaluronate + Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid provide surface and deeper hydration; Centella Asiatica supports barrier repair; Collagen Extract provides surface-level film-forming and structural protein support

After cleansing, apply an appropriate amount to the palm and gently pat into the face along skin texture. For intensive care, apply 2–3 layers to areas of concern about dullness. Use morning and evening as the toner step before serum and moisturizer. 180ml.
