STEP 1: SHAKE IT UP

Shake C Beyond vigorously for 10-15 seconds before use. The formula contains a high volume of powders suspended in oil, and must be fully mixed for even application.

STEP 2: BE GENTLE

Angle the pump downward and dispense onto fingertips and/or directly onto face, patting lightly and smoothing over skin. DO NOT rub the formula before or after applying—this will cause pilling.

STEP 3: ALL SET

Once applied, allow C Beyond to fully absorb into skin. Wait at least 60 seconds before applying makeup. If your skin is more sensitive to vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid), we recommend using C Beyond every other day.

STEP 4: JUST IN CASE

If your skin needs more moisture, we suggest an oil-based product prior to applying C Beyond—like a singular oil such as plant-based Squalane, which is found in C Beyond. Feel free to experiment with other moisturizers to see what works best for your skin.

A Closer Look

Key Active Ingredients

  • L-ascorbic acid (10%)

    Pure form of Vitamin C that visibly brightens, firms, and evens skin.

  • Niacinamide (2%)

    Visibly smooths skin texture, minimizes pores, and refines uneven tone.

  • Non-nano zinc oxide

    Helps safely shield skin from UV rays, blue light, and pollution.

Founder's Note

“I love using C Beyond with some True Skin Serum Concealer on top to spot conceal. On the weekends, it’s usually all I apply to ensure there is broad-spectrum, mineral SPF 40 protection and a strong dose of skincare.”

FAQ

If we didn't answer your question, let's chat or contact us.

How do I avoid pilling when applying C Beyond?

+

1. SHAKE IT UP: Shake C Beyond vigorously for at least 10 seconds before dispensing. The formula contains a high volume of powders suspended in oil so this step is essential for an even application.

2. BE GENTLE: Dispense onto fingertips and/or apply directly onto face, patting lightly and smoothing. DO NOT rub the formula between palms or fingertips before applying—this will cause pilling.

3. ALL SET: Once applied, allow C Beyond to fully absorb into skin without touching or manipulating it further. Wait at least 60 seconds before applying makeup.

4. JUST IN CASE: If your skin is very dry and requires additional moisture, we suggest using an oil-based product prior to applying C Beyond. We recommend a simple oil like Jojoba, Squalane or Meadowfoam Seed, which are all found in the C Beyond formula. These three oils mix well with C Beyond and will provide a boosted layer of moisture underneath C Beyond.

What shade am I?

+

C Beyond’s three tones are designed to neutralize the white cast from mineral SPF—not add a tint to your skin—so they’re flexible. Choose the tone closest to your skin tone, or contact us for help. If you’re in between tones, go with the lighter one.

Does C Beyond provide any coverage?

+

C Beyond won’t add any coverage. The translucent formula has a small amount of sheer pigment to neutralize the white cast normally seen with mineral SPF. For more coverage, apply it as a base underneath your favorite ILIA complexion product.

Can I apply C Beyond on top of other skincare products?

+

Yes. C Beyond can be worn on its own, but you can also apply it after your normal skincare routine. For best results, allow any skincare products to absorb fully before applying C Beyond.

How much C Beyond should I use?

+

Use as much as you need to apply a generous, even layer that covers your entire face.

Why are some of the ingredients encapsulated?

+

To preserve their potency and stability, Vitamin C, Niacinamide, and Non-Nano Zinc Oxide are enclosed in microcapsules that dissolve on contact with skin.
