Overview
This toner from d'Alba centers on white truffle and Tuber Magnatum extract, paired with a supporting cast of avocado, betaine, glycerin, green tea and vitamin E. It is described as a weakly acidic, surfactant free formula with a light, watery texture meant to leave a smooth, supple finish rather than any tightness.
The brand markets it around deep hydration, gentle exfoliation and skin texture enhancement, all without added irritation, and the formula is vegan. It carries a citrus floral scent, so it is not built for anyone who prefers unscented skincare.
Nearly 1,000 ratings at a 4.5 star average is a solid, consistent result for a toner in this price range, especially one priced under 16 dollars, which puts it well below many premium Korean toners with similar ingredient lists.
Pros
- 4.5 star average from 996 ratings shows consistent satisfaction
- Vegan formula built around white truffle extract and glycerin
- Weakly acidic, surfactant free formula suited to dry and sensitive skin
- Priced under 16 dollars, notably lower than many comparable Korean toners
Cons
- Citrus floral scent is not ideal for those who want fragrance free products
- Gentle exfoliation claim is mild, so it is not a substitute for a dedicated exfoliating treatment
- Formula includes multiple plant and amino acid derived ingredients, worth checking against any known sensitivities
Performance notes
Glycerin and betaine both act as humectants that help draw moisture into the skin, supporting the toner's deep hydration claim, while the weakly acidic pH is designed to work with the skin's natural surface rather than strip it. Green tea and vitamin E are commonly included for their antioxidant associations, rounding out a formula built more around comfort than active exfoliation.
What buyers say
At 4.5 stars from 996 ratings, this toner has built a large, steady base of positive feedback, which is a good sign for a facial toner at this price. The volume of reviews suggests it has been a repeat purchase for many buyers rather than a one time trial.

Frequently asked questions
Is this toner good for sensitive skin?
It is formulated for all, dry and sensitive skin types and is described as weakly acidic and surfactant free, which is generally gentler than stronger acid toners. As always, patch testing is a smart first step if your skin reacts easily to new scented products.
Does it have a strong scent?
Yes, it carries a citrus floral scent rather than being unscented, so it is not the right pick if you prefer fragrance free skincare. If scent sensitivity is a concern, testing on a small area first is a reasonable precaution.
Can this replace my exfoliating toner?
It is described as offering gentle exfoliation, but it is built primarily around hydration and comfort rather than deep resurfacing. If you rely on a dedicated acid exfoliant, this is better used alongside it rather than as a replacement.
