How it works
The White Truffle Return Oil Cream Cleanser is a 150g gel cleanser, used as your first step, morning and evening, on skin wet with lukewarm water. The vitamin it is built around is Cyanocobalamin, named forty-second on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Tocopherol, Ceramide NP and Phytosphingosine, so the vitamin is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Cyanocobalamin stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the gel cleanser format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the gel cleanser d'Alba sells in Korea, Cyanocobalamin and all.
Key benefits
- Cyanocobalamin, the vitamin this gel cleanser is built around
- Tocopherol on the same list, an antioxidant
- Ceramide NP and Phytosphingosine on the same list, barrier lipids
- Collagen Extract on the same list, a protein
- Collagen and Tuber Magnatum Extract further down the same list
- Phellodendron Amurense Bark Extract and Ulmus Davidiana Root Extract further down the same list
Key actives
Cyanocobalaminvitamin
Cyanocobalamin is vitamin B12, and it is a deep pink-red, which is why a formula carrying it often has a colour nobody added on purpose. It is used as a conditioning vitamin. On this gel cleanser's own ingredient list it is named forty-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. It is named fourteenth on this gel cleanser's list, alongside Cyanocobalamin.
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 sixteenth on this gel cleanser's list, beside Cyanocobalamin.
Phytosphingosinebarrier lipid
Phytosphingosine is the backbone every ceramide is built on, and skin uses it in its own lipid layer. In a formula it works with ceramides and cholesterol and also keeps the product stable against microbes. The panel names it forty-eighth on this gel cleanser's list, beside Cyanocobalamin.
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 fifteenth on this gel cleanser's list, beside Cyanocobalamin.
Where does this gel cleanser go in my routine?
As your first step, morning and evening, on skin wet with lukewarm water. Nothing goes under it: this gel cleanser is the step everything else in the routine lands on top of. 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 Cyanocobalamin and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market gel cleanser or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Cyanocobalamin and all. We match this gel cleanser to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
Does this gel cleanser 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 gel cleanser is not the one.
What else is on the list besides Cyanocobalamin?
Tocopherol, Ceramide NP and Phytosphingosine. The order they are printed in on this gel cleanser's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Cyanocobalamin sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Collagen Extract, Collagen and Tuber Magnatum Extract.

How to use
- Take two to three pumps of White Truffle Return Oil Cream Cleanser 150g into dry hands and massage over a dry face, working makeup and sunscreen loose.
- Add a small splash of water to emulsify the oil into a milky texture, then continue massaging for a few more seconds.
- Rinse fully, then follow with a water-based cleanser as the second half of the cleanse.
- Give White Truffle Return Oil Cream Cleanser 150g a moment to settle rather than layering the next product straight on top while it is still wet.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this gel cleanser on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Cyanocobalamin on the list.
- This list names Fragrance, so skip it if fragrance components are something you avoid.

People with dry, flaky skin are more likely to see a benefit from using vitamin E because it enhances moisturization.
