What is this product?

The vitamin in the name is not what works here: d'Alba prints ascorbic acid at 1000ppb, one part per million, while niacinamide is printed at 20,000ppm, a real 2 percent, so the tone evening this 180ml toner delivers is niacinamide's doing. Credit the brand for publishing those figures at all, and read the rest the same way: panthenol at 100ppm and tocopherol at 0.003ppm are too low to do anything, while sea buckthorn water at 117,600ppm (11.76 percent) sits second and does real hydrating work alongside two hyaluronic acid forms. The reason to skip it is the finish: fragrance, limonene, hexyl cinnamal and linalool close the list of 69 ingredients, plus a lemon myrtle leaf oil 47th, which is a lot of fragrance for skin that reacts.

What makes it different?

Two things are unusual: it publishes concentrations for five ingredients when almost nothing in this category publishes any, and it is built long, 69 ingredients including 12 hydrolysed plant proteins, 8 plant oils and a white truffle extract. That length is the appeal and the risk in one, because the 8 oils are the class fungal folliculitis reacts to and the fragrance block is a sensitisation surface. Everything else lands in the middle: the brightening claim of jade-white skin is far beyond what 2 percent niacinamide does, Ceramide NP arrives 45th and is too late to seal anything so dry skin needs a cream over it, and the brand publishes no pH for the product.

What is in it?

The full ingredient list as the brand publishes it, in the printed order. Each name links to what we know about that ingredient.

Ingredients with no mark are ones we found nothing notable about, and when marks overlap on one ingredient we show the caution first.

Did the ad claims hold up?

We checked 6 lines this product advertises against the ingredient list and public documents. One of them holds up. The rest are only partly right or have nothing behind them.
