FAQ
- 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.
How to Use
For daily sun protection and brighter skin over time
Step 1 SHAKE IT UP
Shake the bottle well for 10-15 seconds to ensure the waterless formula is evenly mixed.
Step 2 BE GENTLE
Angle the pump down and dispense into palms. Gently pat and smooth onto skin without rubbing.
Step 3 ALL SET
Allow C Beyond to absorb into skin for at least 60 seconds. Wear alone or to boost your glow before makeup.
Step 4 JUST IN CASE
If your skin needs more moisture, we recommend applying a simple facial oil (such as Jojoba Oil or Squalane) under C Beyond.

Sasha's Tip
“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.”
