Let’s talk about the facial mist that has quietly taken over my skincare routine: the D’Alba First Spray Serum. If you’ve spent any time scrolling beauty TikTok or diving into Korean skincare, you’ve probably seen this sleek gold bottle pop up more than once. The hype? Completely justified. And just so we’re clear, I’m officially starting on my second and third bottle. Yes, I loved the formula so much that I got another bottle for my vanity and a small one for my bag.

This is one of those products I picked up thinking it would be a cute addition to my vanity even when I was initially skeptical about it. It turned out to be a staple I can’t live without.

The “Flight Attendant Glow” in a Bottle

They call this the “flight attendant spray” in Korea because it’s what flight crews use mid-flight to keep their skin fresh and glowing. Honestly, I get it. It’s part mist, part serum, and full-on luxury.

Inside the bi-phase formula (give it a shake before using) is a beautiful mix of white truffle extract, niacinamide, and natural oils like avocado and sunflower seed. Together, they hydrate, brighten, and soften the skin without any greasy residue. The mist is ultra-fine, no heavy droplets or uneven spraying here.

The scent is light, clean, and elegant. It feels like a boutique spa in a bottle.

How I Use It

This isn’t one of those occasional mists that collect dust on your shelf. I use it constantly.

• In the morning, after toner and before moisturizer
• As a mid-day refresh to bring life back into tired skin or makeup
• Right before events when I want a fresh, glowy base
• Sometimes at night as a final step when I want to feel extra pampered

It layers beautifully under and over makeup, giving your skin that healthy, lit-from-within finish. Even on tired skin days, it perks me up instantly.

And here’s the magic: it makes a full face of makeup look like natural skin. Somehow, it melts everything together and takes down the powdery, flat look without ever messing up your base. Foundation, blush, highlight — it all just looks like your actual face, only better.

Is It Worth It?

This is definitely a luxury product, but it earns its place. You’re getting the benefits of a toner, serum, and mist all in one, which simplifies your routine without compromising on results.

After finishing my first bottle, I noticed:

• A more even skin tone
• Softer, smoother texture
• A natural glow that made me want to skip foundation
• And yes, my makeup started looking way more seamless and skin-like

Now that I’m on my third bottle, I can confidently say it’s a forever repurchase. It’s not just skincare. It’s a ritual. At 43, I am getting compliments for my skin's healthy glow.

Final Verdict

The D’Alba First Spray Serum is a skincare essential for anyone who wants that effortless, hydrated glow. It’s a quiet luxury moment that actually delivers, and it fits into both simple and more elaborate routines.

If your skin needs a boost, or your routine needs a refresh, this is the one. It’s glow, it’s glam, and it makes you look like you were born with great skin — even if you’re wearing a full face.

May the glam be with you always!
