    ILIA SUN serum mineral sunscreen SPF50

    What a game changer this ILIA SUN serum mineral sunscreen SPF50 is. Gives you coverage and protection from the sun. It is lightweight and great on sensitive skin. Didn't cause any breakouts and provided great sun protection. Not a fan of the scent is the only thing I would change.

    This is the best serum sunscreen I have ever used!

    ILIA Sun Serum Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 with 8-Hour Oil Control in Deep is honestly one of the best sunscreens I’ve ever used! The formula feels incredibly lightweight, blends beautifully into my skin, and gives me amazing sun protection without leaving a greasy finish or white cast. I love how it keeps my skin looking fresh and balanced throughout the day while still feeling breathable and comfortable. It layers perfectly under makeup and gives my skin such a healthy, smooth look. This has easily become a staple in my daily routine, and I absolutely love it! I received this product for free from ILIA in exchange for my honest opinion.

    Finally, the perfect high SPF mineral sunscreen

    As I age, I have been more aware of the importance of always wearing sunscreen. A few years ago, I started looking for a sunscreen that didn't feel like sunscreen, was a high enough SPF, and didn't make my eyes burn, but I hadn't found it. I was so excited to find that the Sun Serum sunscreen checks all the boxes. I use it daily and know I am getting the benefits of protection without feeling the "weight" of the product. LOVE. LOVE. LOVE.

Mineral SPF That Works Like Skincare

Most mineral sunscreens protect—Sun Serum does more. Seven molecular weights of Hyaluronic Acid draw hydration into skin for 24-hour moisture, while Barrier-Building Sugars help reinforce the skin barrier throughout the day.

Non-comedogenic and vegan. It preps skin beautifully, layering without pilling under makeup. Shop the full skincare lineup or learn more about our clean ingredient standards.
