Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint Review

I am all about minimizing my beauty routine. With Ilia Skin Tint I can do just that! It offers skin loving ingredients, a medium to full coverage and SPF all in one. Check out my full review!

Have you heard of Ilia Skin Tint? If you haven’t, prepare yourself,  because your summer face is about to get an upgrade. 

By upgrade I don’t mean one more product to add to your already time-consuming routine and overflowing makeup bag, in fact, quite the opposite. 

Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint is makeup, skincare, and sun protection all-in-one. Yep, almost too good to be true but it isn’t. This is an award-winning product that’s worth all of the pomp and circumstance. And, both my sister and I are sharing our thoughts and review of the product.

Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint Overview

Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 uses active levels of skincare ingredients to improve and protect skin. It’s a mineral SPF that is safe for sensitive skin, non-comedogenic, vegan, and is formulated without fragrance, oil, silicone, or gluten – checks all of the boxes for me.

Here are some of the results from a 28 day clinical study of 52 women from 19-60 and instrumental studies:

  • Appearance of pores was minimized
  • Improvement of blemishes, redness, and uneven tone
  • Reduced fine lines and wrinkles
  • Balanced skin
  • Improved dry skin

Results from another study demonstrated protection against skin-damaging free radicals and pollution.

The Skin Tint comes in 30 shades, which is great, but can also lead to indecisiveness. If you’re not sure about which shade is right for you, Ilia has made it super easy to send them a selfie and get their expert opinion on which shade is right for your skin type.

Did I mention that it won Allure’s Best of Beauty award in 2020 and Byrdie’s Eco Beauty award in 2020 and these are only two of the ten awards this product has won? Impressive and deserving.

Are there any pore clogging ingredients?

Thankfully, this amazing product is also non-comedogenic so your pores won’t have to suffer for the sake of beauty and convenience.

So many skin loving ingredients – niacinamide, hyaluronic acid and squalane!

How To Use The Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint

  1. Shake bottle. 
  2. Dispense a small amount.
  3. Apply like a serum onto clean skin.
  4. After applying Skin Tint, let it set for 60 seconds. This will give it time to adjust to its true color.

Because Skin Tint is an all-in-one super SPF, it can replace other products such as moisturizers, serums, and foundation.

However, as a cautionary note, if you’re going to be out in the sun all day, you may want to use a sunscreen underneath the Skin Tint for full protection. This is according to what other users have said online.

If you find that your skin requires extra hydration, Ilia recommends using a moisturizer, facial oil, or their True Skin Radiant Priming Serum first.

Coverage

My Review

The Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint definitely provides medium to full coverage depending on how much you apply. It is slightly thicker and heavier than a traditional tinted sunscreen.  The formula is more like a true foundation, but with sunscreen in it.  

My Sister’s Review

The sun has yet to make an appearance in Washington so I can’t speak from personal experience on the sun protection aspect of Skin Tint but I can tell you that it goes on effortlessly, blends into the skin pretty flawlessly, and doesn’t leave any white streaks from the zinc oxide. I used a couple of drops in shade, Formosa-ST4.

Longevity

My Review

It lasts the whole day.  Really impressed with the staying power.  Even in the sun, it really stays put. I like that it has the higher SPF of 40 too.  

My Sister’s Review

The staying power is great even after 8 hours! I also want to mention that according to Ilia,

“All ILIA products have a 2 shelf year and 1 year period after opening with the exception of eye products. It’s recommended that eye products are discarded after 6 months of opening.” Their SPF products also include an expiration date.

Skin Types

My Review

Any skin type can wear it.  However, if you don’t like heavier foundations I would say you probably won’t like this as much.  Since it is a heavier foundation overall.  

My Sister’s Review

I have oily skin so I was curious to see if the Skin Tint would balance out my skin and I’m happy to report that it helped even out my skin. The Skin Tint also provided enough coverage as a foundation to cover up some redness and provide a healthy glow. 

I’m planning on making this a part of my spring and summer product arsenal for sure!

Where To Buy

    Hi Suzi, does Ilia test for heavy metals now? They weren’t doing that. I have used this product and you’re right… It’s awesome, but I stick with Beautycounter due to the testing piece.
    Thank you,
    Jill
