HI-REVIEW: d'Alba Waterfull Tone-Up Sun Cream

The formula features Trufferol, d’Alba’s patented signature ingredient that combines White Truffle Extract and Vitamin E, both rich in antioxidants to protect the skin from external stressors and premature signs of aging while supporting elasticity and radiance.

To keep the skin supple and comfortable throughout the day, it’s formulated with Hydrolysed Hyaluronic Acid, Betula Platyphylla Japonica Juice, and Allantoin, delivering deep hydration and soothing care ideal for dry or sensitive skin types.

I first heard about this sunscreen on social media, where it constantly gets recommended by K-pop idols and their makeup artists. Since many artists avoided SPF in the past due to how it disrupted makeup application, the fact that they now swear by this formula says a lot!

As someone who hoards sunscreen because so many formulas sting my dry skin or make my eyes water (especially when I’m wearing my prescription lenses daily) this one has been such a game changer. The essence-like texture blends effortlessly, feels instantly hydrating, and never irritates my skin or eyes.

The glow is beautiful and lasting - my coworkers and partner both commented on how radiant my skin looked once I started using it (with no glitter or shimmer; just deep hydration!). The tone-up effect is soft and natural, not chalky or stark like a lot of other tone-up formulations, and on no-makeup days, it gives me that “fresh skincare glow” that looks like I’ve just reapplied my skincare all day long.

It’s officially become my go-to sunscreen for both makeup and no-makeup days. It’s hydrating, glowy, and incredibly comfortable for sensitive, dry skin.
