Give your skin the gift of layerable hydration with not one but two soothing formulas that can be used solo or together.  For a lightweight boost of moisture, award-winning The Base Face Milk makes the perfect prep step under makeup, or on its own—delivering plumping Hyaluronic Acid to draw in hydration and smooth texture. Need a little extra nourishment? Top with Barrier Build Skin Protectant Cream—accepted by the National Eczema Association and boosted with FDA-approved Colloidal Oatmeal to calm skin and reduce the look of redness. The best part? Both formulas play the long game—clinically proven to reinforce skin’s barrier function for less sensitive skin over time. This clean, non-comedogenic duo brings layers of versatility to your routine, flexing to fit your skin’s daily needs.

    Absolutely love ILIA! My daughter introduced me to ILIA several years ago and I’ve used it since. It really does even skin tone, improve texture and over-all appearance of skin. After using for a while, I found this to be true even on the days I’m not wearing any! ILIA truly is skincare in makeup form. Given the fact my daughter introduced me, I’d have to say ILIA is great for all ages and skin types! Also, a little goes a long way especially when used in combination with or alternating their products…did I mention versatility?! Love ILIA!!!

    From a gal who’s spent far more on creams.

    I love this cream. A little goes a long way and the consistency is perfection. It doesn’t pill, even on top of my Dior Prestige essence/lotion, and Kiehl’s SPF serum. I do use a retinol cream at night, so I’m currently using this at daytime only. My skin is 60 y/o mature and honestly it feels like a baby’s butt. This will become a staple in my routine. P.S. the photo is with no makeup, sitting at home at my computer.

    Lightweight for all day use

    I love this for work days and workout days. It will provide moisture without making face oily when you are active.

    I love this product - in the summer, using this, I don’t need extra moisturizer and it’s beautiful under makeup up!
