  Pros

  An amazing mist that gently nourishes sensitive skin without irritation, sprays evenly

  Cons

  Closer to a mist than a serum, so it doesn't address deep dryness, has a strong citrus scent and causes tingling if it gets in your eyes

  Pros

  As a lucky winner of The Hwahae Testers, here's my review. My skin is sensitive and dry. Please note this is my personal opinion for reference. Moisture: As someone with dry skin even in summer, I loved using this after toner and before cream. It's not overly oily or heavy, but provides just the right amount of hydration without being overwhelming. I think this formula would be perfect for those with dry skin, especially combination dehydrated skin! Spray Quality: I once bought a mist that sprayed like someone spitting rather than a fine mist. This product, however, dispenses in tiny particles, ensuring even coverage on the skin. Plus, the spray range is wide enough that three quick spritzes cover the whole face. Vegan: After seeing shocking videos of animal testing for cosmetics, I started checking if products were vegan. I'm relieved this one is, so I can use it with a clear conscience. I personally hope the trend of vegan cosmetics continues to grow.

  Cons

  Polarizing Scent: Before this, I used DALBA White Truffle First Spray Serum, which doesn't contain aromatics. When I first used this product, the scent reminded me of the perfume counter at a department store or my mother's cosmetics. It's a bit deeper than the fresh scent of my previous product, which I found slightly disappointing.

  Tip

  Note: Rather than being oily, this product has a fresh, moisturizing feel. Those with extremely dry skin might not find it sufficiently hydrating. I'd especially recommend it for combination dehydrated skin. Tip: I usually cleanse, wash my hair, then wash my body when showering. Sometimes my face feels dry in between, so I lightly mist it after cleansing. This significantly reduces skin tightness after I finish showering.

  Pros

  Of all the serums I've tried, this is only the second one, so I don't have much to compare it to. However, when using it, I found the hydration to be excellent. The best part is that it's a spray mist product, which makes it incredibly convenient to use. While I'm in my early 20s and might not use it often myself, I think this would be a great gift for parents in their late 30s to 50s.

  Cons

  However, the scent is quite strong - it's that typical cosmetic smell, you know? It reminds me of my mom's skincare products. The intense fragrance made it difficult for me to use it frequently.

  Pros

  <A review from The Hwahae Testers> Unlike regular mists, this one has an oil layer, which made me curious to try it! Despite being a mist, it's so moisturizing that you could use it alone in summer, thanks to the oil layer. I was worried it might leave my skin feeling greasy like some products with even small amounts of oil do, but the Dalba mist left my skin perfectly hydrated - I'm very satisfied. I'm currently pregnant, so my skin has been quite oily. I was concerned this product might be too rich, but it wasn't greasy at all. It left my skin feeling moisturized, and it didn't dry out over time. Considering it's midsummer now, I think this would be even better for those with dry or normal skin types. It's also great for oily skin types to use on its own! I really loved how fine the spray particles were and how evenly it dispersed. Just two or three sprays are enough to cover your entire face once absorbed. In summer, when you're feeling lazy before applying makeup, a few quick spritzes of this prevent your makeup from looking patchy. For combination to oily skin types, it's convenient to use alone in summer. In other seasons, it works perfectly when layered with other skincare products!

  Cons

  The scent is... really artificial. As someone who prefers natural fragrances, this wasn't for me. Even among artificial scents, I found this one particularly unpleasant. Despite its good performance, the fragrance made me reluctant to use it.

  Tip

  To maintain the perfect golden ratio until the end, I made sure to shake it well and mix it thoroughly before each use. After mixing it perfectly, I spray it two or three times and then pat it into my skin for absorption.

  Pros

  The best thing about this mist-type serum is that you don't need to apply it directly with your hands. We all know it's better to minimize hand contact with your face, but when shopping around, you'll find only a few serums in mist form. Another great feature is that the oil and toner layers are separate, so you can use just the toner if you want, or shake it to combine both if you prefer. Lastly, the spray power is incredible - it creates a fine mist that settles evenly on your face without leaving droplets, allowing for perfect toner application.

  Cons

  If you're sensitive to fragrances, you might find the scent a bit strong... It has that classic perfume smell, reminiscent of mom's old cosmetics.

  Tip

  For longer-lasting hydration, try spraying the toner first, then shake and spray again. As someone with extremely dry skin who usually applies three layers of toner, I've found this method works wonders.

  Pros

  The packaging is luxurious and absolutely stunning. It would make a lovely gift too. The spray is incredibly fine, like an ultra-fine mist. You can even spritz it over makeup without any smudging or uncomfortable feeling.

  Cons

  The scent is somewhat artificial and not very pleasant, unfortunately. It also lingers for quite a while. At 42,000 won for 120ml, it seems overpriced for a mist. I'd hesitate to buy it at full price unless it's on sale. I won't be repurchasing. The spray is so fine that you need to use 5-6 spritzes, which means it might run out quickly. It's disappointing that it contains many less-than-ideal ingredients. As someone with dry skin, I find the hydration insufficient on its own, so I don't see much need for it.

  Tip

  Make sure to shake well before use to mix the contents thoroughly. You can achieve a dewy makeup look by spraying and blending it in while applying your base makeup.

  Pros

  First of all, this serum is incredibly popular, and I was even more excited to try it since it was released as a vegan product. I was thrilled to win it in an event. Thank you so much. I have combination skin. If you're looking for hydration, you can shake it to mix before use. For a lighter application, you can use just the water part without shaking. As I have combination skin, I found mixing it before use gave me higher satisfaction. The spray power is perfect - it's a fine mist spray. It dispenses just the right amount without being excessive, so I could use it comfortably! In terms of absorption, it absorbs well without feeling sticky. I liked that it didn't leave my face feeling oily or dry like some mists can. For moisturizing, it's great for quick use when feeling dry in the office, before makeup, or before blow-drying hair to prevent dryness. It doesn't cause any tightness either. It's also easy to carry in your bag without being a burden.

  Cons

  Regarding the scent, I think it would have been better without adding fragrance. The scent isn't particularly pleasant, and it reminds me of old-fashioned cosmetics my mother used to use. That's the most disappointing aspect for me.

  Pros

  ✓ Skin type: Dehydrated, atopic (especially in winter when it's too cold outside and the indoor heating makes my cheeks extremely dry and red). ✓ The product packaging is really pretty. It's not too big, so it's portable, and most importantly, the lid closes securely without being loose. ✓ There are separate layers of oil and ampoule mist, but after shaking it 3-4 times, they mix well and the overall color deepens. I shake it several times to mix it better, but if you leave it for a while, it separates again. ✓ At first, I expected a mist that sprays from about 20cm away, but this product has a narrow nozzle and doesn't spray too widely. I apply it more than five times on different parts of my face. I actually prefer this as it doesn't spread everywhere. I'm also satisfied with how finely it sprays! ✓ While water-based formulas tend to dry quickly after absorption, the oil in this keeps it from evaporating too fast. In winter, I'm often hesitant to apply oils for fear of heaviness and greasiness, but this product can be used as the first step after cleansing and only requires a small amount. ✓ I didn't find it irritating. After absorption, it feels like a thin layer on the skin, so I'd recommend it more for dry skin than oily skin.

  Cons

  ✓ The product's scent was slightly artificial, like perfume. I personally don't prefer fragranced skincare products, so that was disappointing. ✓ I found it a bit frustrating that the spray concentrated in the center of the application area, possibly because you need to spray it close to your face.

  Tip

  I carry it with me when I go out and spray it whenever I feel dry at the office. The oil blend seems to make the hydration last longer! When my skin feels extremely dry, I found it's okay to spray it once more as the final step of my skincare routine.

  Pros

  The Hwahae Testers Review Skin type: Dry, Atopic ✨T-zone: Overall dry, with many pores, dead skin cells, and excess sebum around the glabella and nose. Small patches of seborrheic dermatitis appear on the hairline and forehead (it's really troublesome). ✨U-zone: Extremely dry. Almost no pores, but thin skin with visible capillaries in some areas. Many blemishes around the temples and dark under-eye circles. 👍🏻Spray power: D'alba mist has excellent overall spray power! I prefer a fine mist spray as opposed to a targeted stream that doesn't evenly cover the face. D'alba mist provides an even, fog-like application. 👍🏻Hydration: With my extremely dry skin, most mists only provide momentary hydration before drying out quickly. D'alba mist has a separate oil layer, which works well for my very dry skin! You need to shake it before use to mix the oil layer, but it blends easily with a light shake. It provides an instant dewy effect, and the best part is that it keeps skin moisturized for hours, so you don't need to reapply frequently! 👍🏻Ingredients: Among the various D'alba mists, the First Aromatherapy has the best ingredients! Especially since it's alcohol-free, which I think contributes to its long-lasting hydration rather than just a temporary moisturizing effect. 👍🏻Volume: It's 60ml, which I initially thought might be too small for a mist that needs generous application. However, the compact size makes it perfect for carrying around. It fits easily in my mini bag, which is super convenient.

  Cons

  The scent... I'm so sensitive to fragrances that I don't even wear perfume, and strong scents give me headaches immediately! The oil layer inevitably gives it some fragrance, and if it were an overpowering, artificial smell, I wouldn't be able to use it! Fortunately, it only has a subtle floral scent when sprayed. Still, I wish they could eliminate the fragrance completely.

  Tip

  Overall, letting the mist absorb on its own rather than patting it in keeps the skin moisturized for longer. Spraying before applying makeup creates a hydrated base, and an additional spritz after makeup application gives a dewy skin finish.
