Grab Ilia’s Super Serum Skin Tint during our exclusive InSider Sale.
ICYMI, InStyle just launched its second-annual InSider Sale with exclusive discounts on editor- and celebrity-loved brands just for our readers. And while there are a number of sales I’m thrilled to shop—including Banana Republic’s double-discount sale and 25-percent off everything at Cariuma—I’m extra excited to save on an Ilia best-seller.
During the InSider Sale, InStyle readers get 20 percent off the brand’s famous Super Serum Skin Tint, which has been used by what feels like all of Hollywood, including Cindy Crawford, Miranda Kerr, and Kate Hudson. Even 80-year-old Joni Mitchell has used it. All you need to do to save is enter the code INSTYLE20 at checkout.
I first became familiar with Ilia years ago through this very skin tint, which someone told me makes skin look like it’s wearing an Instagram filter IRL. Between that review, the tint’s skin-benefiting ingredients, and SPF 40 coverage, I immediately added it to my cart—and it’s since been a consistent staple in my makeup routine.
The Super Serum Skin Tint is available in 30 shades and comes in a dropper bottle that makes it look like skincare, which, honestly, it kind of is. The tinted serum is formulated with hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and squalane, which hydrate, smooth, and even-out skin. And while those ingredients improve the skin’s appearance long-term, they also create an immediate super glowy finish. “It has helped my face feel softer and more luminous than traditional foundation,” said one fan of the tinted serum, while another wrote that it gives them “a dewy complexion and makes [their] skin look and feel amazing.”
As someone with dry skin, finding a foundation or tint that doesn’t accentuate my dry patches can be hard, which is why I’ve stayed loyal to Ilia’s skin tint for so long. The nourishing, light-coverage formula is easy to work with (I don’t even use a brush to apply it), smooths out my complexion for a my-skin-but-better finish, and leaves my skin feeling hydrated—not greasy—all day long.
And while I adore that it doesn’t cling to dry spots, shoppers with fine lines are obsessed with how well the “dewy” formula “reflects light…minimizing signs of aging instead of exacerbating them.” According to a shopper over 55 years old, the “consistency is like drops of velvet” that leave their skin so glowy and smooth, their daughter said they “looked photoshopped.” “[It] gives some color and light coverage without sinking into fine lines,” said another customer, while a 63-year-old fan “with lines of life” raved that the serum “melts into [their] skin” for a “natural look” they love.
Ilia’s Super Serum Skin Tint is the Hollywood-loved foundation-skincare-sunscreen hybrid I always keep in stock, and while it’s 20 percent off for InStyle readers with the code INSTYLE20, I’m grabbing another. Shop it on sale now through April 27 for $38.
