Dealing with skin that feels tight and dehydrated one day, but oily and heavy the next can be frustrating. This customizable cream addresses that directly. It features two formulas in one jar: a lightweight, hydrating Aqua Serum and a rich, firming Intense Cream. You can blend them in different ratios to create the perfect texture for your skin's daily needs, simplifying your routine without needing multiple moisturizers. The formula targets signs of aging like fine lines and loss of elasticity with ingredients like White Truffle, Vegan Collagen, and Peptides.

For a fast, effective routine:

1. Cleanse: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser.
2. Apply d'Alba Double Cream: Dispense your customized blend (see "How to Use") and apply to your face and neck.
3. Protect (AM) or Seal (PM): Follow with sunscreen in the morning. At night, this is your final moisturizing step.

Note: Already have a moisturizer you like? Finish it first to prevent waste. This product can substitute for your current serum and cream step.

A simple morning routine to lock in moisture and protect your skin.

• Minimalist (3 steps): 1) Cleanser → 2) d'Alba Double Serum & Cream → 3) Sunscreen SPF 30+
• Optional Add-on: If you use a separate Vitamin C serum for antioxidant protection, apply it after cleansing and before the d'Alba cream. The cream's hydrating base can help buffer potent actives.
• Wait Times: Allow the d'Alba cream to absorb for 1-2 minutes before applying sunscreen to prevent pilling.

A restorative evening routine to repair and hydrate overnight.

• Minimalist (2-3 steps): 1) Double Cleanse (Oil Cleanser → Water-based Cleanser if wearing makeup/SPF) → 2) d'Alba Double Serum & Cream.
• Optional Add-on: If you use a retinoid or chemical exfoliant, apply it to clean, dry skin before the d'Alba cream. Use the cream as a buffer to reduce potential irritation. Do not use strong actives on the same night.
• Texture Rule: This product combines serum and cream steps. Apply any thinner, water-based toners or essences before it.

The key is the customizable ratio. Use the included spatula to scoop and mix on the back of your hand or the jar's built-in palette.

• Amount: A pea-sized amount of your chosen blend is enough for the face. Add a little more for the neck.
• Custom Ratios:
  • For Oily/Combination Skin or Humid Days: Use a 2:1 ratio of Aqua Serum to Intense Cream for lightweight hydration.
  • For Normal Skin or Mild Weather: Use a 1:1 ratio for balanced moisture and nourishment.
  • For Dry Skin or in Air-Conditioning: Use a 1:2 ratio of Aqua Serum to Intense Cream for rich, deep moisture.
• Method: After blending, gently smooth the cream over your face and neck. Pat lightly to aid absorption.
• Frequency: Start once daily (PM) to see how your skin responds. If well-tolerated, you can use it AM and PM.
• Under Makeup: This cream creates a smooth, hydrated canvas for makeup. Use a lighter serum-heavy blend and wait 1-2 minutes before applying primer or foundation to reduce pilling.
• Safety: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.

This cream is designed for daily use. Here’s how it fits with other products.

• Daily Use: Apply AM and/or PM as your primary moisturizer.
• If you use actives (PM focus):
  • Mon: Retinoid night (use d'Alba cream after).
  • Tue: d'Alba cream only (soothing/hydration night).
  • Wed: Exfoliant (AHA/BHA) night (use d'Alba cream after).
  • Thu: d'Alba cream only.
  • Fri: Retinoid night (use d'Alba cream after).
  • Sat & Sun: d'Alba cream only.
• Rule of Thumb: Use only one strong active (retinoid or exfoliant) per night. This cream is an excellent "buffer" moisturizer to use after applying them.

• Immediately: Skin feels hydrated, soothed, and plumped. The finish depends on your custom blend—from dewy and light to nourished and protected.
• 2–4 Weeks: With consistent use, skin texture may appear smoother and more refined. Dehydration-related fine lines look less prominent.
• 4–8+ Weeks: Skin feels firmer and more elastic. The combination of peptides and antioxidants helps improve overall skin health and resilience. Consistent daily sunscreen use is crucial to see these results.

• Works Well With: Vitamin C, Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid, Sunscreen, and most gentle hydrators. It's also great for "sandwiching" or buffering retinoids (apply retinoid, wait, then apply this cream).
• Use With Caution: When pairing with strong chemical exfoliants (AHA/BHA) or retinoids, always use this cream *after* the active has absorbed. This helps soothe the skin and support the moisture barrier. Don't use strong acids and retinoids on the same night.
• Avoid: Applying to broken or irritated skin.

• Dry & Dehydrated: Excellent. The Intense Cream provides ceramides and vegan collagen to deeply nourish, while the serum adds a layer of hydration.
• Normal & Combination: Ideal. The customizable ratio allows you to adjust the richness for your T-zone versus your cheeks.
• Oily: Suitable. A serum-heavy blend (2:1) provides hydration without feeling heavy or greasy.
• Sensitive: Generally suitable, as it is formulated without common irritants. However, a patch test is always recommended due to the botanical extracts.

• Dehydration and dryness
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Loss of firmness and elasticity

• Fragrance Status: Contains added fragrance. The scent is often described as a light, elegant floral-citrus. Intensity is subjective but generally considered mild (2/5).
• EU Allergens Declared: Yes. The formula contains Linalool, Hexyl Cinnamal, Limonene, and Citronellol, which are components of the fragrance.
• Recommendation: If you have a known allergy to fragrance or these specific components, a patch test is essential before facial application.

• Who It's For: Adults looking for a versatile anti-aging and hydrating moisturizer. Suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin, but caution is advised for those with fragrance allergies.
• Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Contains standard cosmetic ingredients. There is insufficient published data on using high concentrations of botanical extracts during pregnancy. Consult with your doctor as a precaution.
• Patch Test Protocol: Before first use, apply a small amount of your mixed cream to a discreet area, like behind your ear or on your inner wrist. Wait 24-48 hours. If you experience any redness, itching, or irritation, do not use the product on your face.

• Texture: Customizable. The Aqua Serum is a lightweight gel-like fluid. The Intense Cream is a soft, nourishing cream. Blended, it can range from a gel-cream to a rich cream.
• Finish: Can be adjusted from a fresh, dewy finish (serum-heavy) to a more satin, deeply moisturized finish (cream-heavy).

• Pilling or Rolling: You might be using too much product or not allowing layers to absorb. Try a smaller amount and wait 1-2 minutes before applying sunscreen or makeup.
• Feeling Too Heavy: Adjust your ratio. Use more Aqua Serum and less Intense Cream, especially during the day or in humid weather.
• Not Hydrating Enough: Increase the proportion of Intense Cream. At night, you can layer a facial oil on top for an extra occlusive seal.
• Mild Tingling: If you apply it right after a strong active, some sensitivity can occur. Try waiting 5-10 minutes after your active, or use it on non-active nights. If irritation persists, discontinue use.

• Humid Summer: Perfect. Use a serum-heavy blend (2:1 Aqua Serum to Intense Cream) as your all-in-one AM moisturizer before sunscreen. It provides hydration without feeling greasy.
• Drier Winter/Indoors (AC): Ideal. Switch to a balanced (1:1) or cream-heavy (1:2) blend to combat dryness from air-conditioning and less humid air, especially at night.

Can I use this cream around my eyes?

Yes, it is generally safe for use on the orbital bone area around the eyes. Avoid getting it directly into your eyes. If you are prone to milia, use a very small amount.

Is the fragrance strong?

Scent is subjective, but most users describe it as a pleasant, mid-to-low intensity floral-citrus scent that fades after application. If you are very sensitive to fragrance, we recommend a patch test.

Will this make my oily skin greasier?

Not if you customize the ratio correctly. For oily skin, use a blend with more of the lightweight Aqua Serum and just a small amount of the Intense Cream. This will provide hydration without adding excess richness.

What is the difference between this and the d'Alba First Spray Serum?

The First Spray Serum is a bi-phasic mist designed for instant hydration and glow, often used throughout the day or as a first step after cleansing.
