ILIA Sun Serum Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 — Light-Medium tint, weightless hydrating and oil-control

This lightweight mineral sunscreen blends skin-care actives with sun protection to give light-to-medium skin tones a fresh, non-greasy finish. The formula uses water-activated technology so it absorbs quickly, layers comfortably under makeup, and supports skin hydration with seven molecular weights of hyaluronic acid. It’s formulated to shield against UVA, UVB, visible light and infrared, while botanicals help manage oil for a balanced look.

How does this sunscreen fit into my morning routine?

Sun Serum is designed to be the last step of skincare and the first protective layer before makeup. It spreads easily, sinks into skin without a white cast on light-medium tones, and won’t pill under foundation. Use it after serums and moisturizers, and reapply as directed for prolonged outdoor exposure.

• Sinks in instantly for a smooth base under makeup
• Light-medium shade evens minor redness and undertones
• Water-burst texture leaves a non-greasy finish
• Reapply every two hours when in direct sun or after swimming

What skin benefits does it provide beyond SPF?

Beyond mineral UV filters, the formula contains seven molecular sizes of hyaluronic acid for multi-depth hydration and skin-plumping feel. Skin-balancing botanicals help control oil and shine for up to eight hours, so skin looks less shiny throughout the day. It’s non-comedogenic and dermatologist-tested for compatibility with sensitive skin.

• Multi-weight HA visibly replenishes moisture at different layers
• Botanical oil-control helps reduce midday shine
• Non-comedogenic formulation minimizes pore congestion risk
• Cruelty-free and vegan clean formulation

Will the Light-Medium shade leave a cast or interfere with makeup?

The Light-Medium tint is blended to minimize the typical white cast of mineral sunscreens and to subtly even skin tone for lighter complexions. It layers well under tinted moisturizers and foundations without changing their finish. For deeper complexions, consider the darker shade option to avoid ashy undertones.

• Subtle tint reduces visible whiteness on light to medium skin
• Compatible with most liquid and powder foundations
• Non-greasy finish reduces the need for blotting powders
