Key actives
Saccharomyces Fermentferment
Saccharomyces Ferment is a brewer's yeast ferment. It supplies amino acids, sugars and B vitamins and is used as a conditioning, hydrating ferment. On this serum's own ingredient list it is named twenty-second.
Tocopherolantioxidant
Tocopherol is vitamin E. It is an oil-soluble antioxidant that protects the oils in a formula from going rancid and works on skin as an emollient, and it is regularly paired with vitamin C because each keeps the other going for longer. The panel names it thirteenth on this serum's list, beside Saccharomyces Ferment.
Tuber Magnatum Extractplant extract
White truffle extract. It carries amino acids, sterols and polysaccharides and is used as a conditioning extract. The panel names it twelfth on this serum's list, beside Saccharomyces Ferment.
Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extractplant extract
Rice Extract is the anchor of the Korean rice-skincare category. It carries starches, amino acids and ferulic acid, and it is used for the look of dullness and for a soft, blurred finish. It is named fifteenth on this serum's list, alongside Saccharomyces Ferment.
Vaccinium Angustifolium Fruit Extractplant extract
Lowbush blueberry fruit extract, high in anthocyanins. Berry extracts are used as plant antioxidants and can tint a formula. It is named sixteenth on this serum's list, alongside Saccharomyces Ferment.
How to use
- After toner, while skin is still slightly damp, apply White Truffle Balancing Serum Skin 80ml to the face and neck.
- Press gently with your palms rather than rubbing, so it has a moment to absorb.
- Follow with moisturiser once it has sunk in.
Where does this serum go in my routine?
After toner and before moisturizer, morning and evening. Anything thinner than a serum goes on before it, and anything richer goes on after. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Saccharomyces Ferment and not three changes at once.
Does this serum contain fragrance?
Yes. The ingredient list names Fragrance. It sits on the panel printed on this page, so you can read the position for yourself before you buy. If fragrance components are something you avoid, this serum is not the one.
What else is on the list besides Saccharomyces Ferment?
Tocopherol, Tuber Magnatum Extract and Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract. The order they are printed in on this serum's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Saccharomyces Ferment sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Vaccinium Angustifolium Fruit Extract, Rubus Idaeus (Raspberry) Fruit Extract and Morus Alba Fruit Extract.

How it works
The White Truffle Balancing Serum Skin is a 80ml serum, used after toner and before moisturizer, morning and evening. The ferment it is built around is Saccharomyces Ferment, named twenty-second on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Tocopherol, Tuber Magnatum Extract and Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract, so the ferment is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Saccharomyces Ferment stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the serum format rather than by the list alone. d'Alba sells this Saccharomyces Ferment serum in Korea, and this is that version.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this serum on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Saccharomyces Ferment on the list.
- This list names Fragrance, so skip it if fragrance components are something you avoid.
