Key actives
Adenosineactive
Adenosine is a nucleoside that Korea's own cosmetic authority recognises as a wrinkle-care functional ingredient, which is why it appears on so many Korean lists at a low level. It is used for the look of fine lines and is stable and well tolerated. On this serum's own ingredient list it is named twenty-seventh.
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. It is named thirty-fifth on this serum's list, alongside Adenosine.
Ceramide NPbarrier lipid
Ceramide NP is the most used cosmetic ceramide, the same class of lipid that makes up roughly half the mortar between cells in the outer layer of skin. Added to a cream it slots into that structure, which is why ceramide formulas feel less leaky rather than merely greasy. The panel names it thirty-fourth on this serum's list, beside Adenosine.
Collagen Extractprotein
Collagen Extract is a collagen-bearing extract, usually from fish skin or scales. In a formula it works as a humectant and a smoothing film rather than as a source of new collagen. The panel names it fifty-fourth on this serum's list, beside Adenosine.
Beta-Glucanpolysaccharide
Beta-Glucan is a polysaccharide from oats or yeast. It holds a large amount of water, forms a soothing film, and is one of the ingredients formulators reach for in products aimed at reactive skin. It is named thirtieth on this serum's list, alongside Adenosine.
How to use
- After toner, while skin is still slightly damp, apply White Truffle Double Serum & Cream 70g 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 Adenosine and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market serum or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Adenosine and all. We match this serum to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
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 Adenosine?
Tocopherol, Ceramide NP and Collagen Extract. The order they are printed in on this serum's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Adenosine sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Beta-Glucan, Laminaria Japonica Extract and Eclipta Prostrata Extract.

How it works
The White Truffle Double Serum & Cream is a 70g serum, used after toner and before moisturizer, morning and evening. The active it is built around is Adenosine, named twenty-seventh on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Tocopherol, Ceramide NP and Collagen Extract, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Adenosine stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the serum format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the serum d'Alba sells in Korea, Adenosine and all.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this serum on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Adenosine on the list.
- This list names Fragrance, so skip it if fragrance components are something you avoid.

What skin-care professionals say about the key actives in this formula, quoted from the medical sources linked beside each.
People with dry, flaky skin are more likely to see a benefit from using vitamin E because it enhances moisturization.
Amy Kassouf, MDDermatologist, Cleveland Clinic Topical collagen is a very large molecule that's too big to absorb into the skin.

It can be especially useful for skin that is easily irritated or prone to redness, including conditions such as rosacea, eczema and contact dermatitis.
