True Skin Serum - Fond de ten

Yes for mature skin

This looks great on my mature skin - I like a light coverage - that looks natural - and feels weightless - and isn’t a matt finish and minimizes my fine lines and also nourishes my skin. Yup this checks all the boxes!

Light/medium coverage that is easy to apply and leaves skin looking like its best version of itself.

It took a fair amount of emailing with three Ilia beauty consultants to find the best shade match, as I live in Central America and can't return products that don't work out, but we finally got there. Getting their explanations of why they recommended the color they chose was very helpful - much more so than the photos on the website page. My skin is light/medium neutral with slightly warm undertones, and they recommended SF5 Salina. I thought it would be too light, but no, it looks perfect. This is a serum foundation, so it's light and easy to spread, but does smooth out the complexion and looks completely natural. I also appreciate the clean skin care ingredients included in this product, which is what brought me to the Ilia website in the first place.

serum foundation

Color is perfect for my skin, just wished a little more coverage for mature skin.

smooth and effortless

This was my first time using an ILIA foundation and I love it. They color-matched it perfectly and it glides onto my skin giving effortless coverage. If I want more coverage, I just add a bit more foundation than normal.

Perfect for dry skin

My all time favorite foundation! I have very dry skin and this makes my skin look beautifully hydrated. It's not heavy, has that perfect amount of coverage to where it looks natural and wears nicely throughout the day. I'm about to finish my first bottle and I want to reorder but I just need to wait a little to get a different color for my summer skin. My only complaint, the packaging. The top and pump dispenser broke so I would definitely not take it when traveling.

Great consistency

I wanted so bad to love this product, but I am not sure I will. I think it's a shade bit dark for me. I did the color match based off of the Super Serum that I use from ILIA and it chose this color, so I went with it. I like the consistency, but it's like it wants to soak up all the moisture in my skin and my skin usually looks dried out by the end of the day. I tend to go for sheer coverage and a product that is a bit more on the liquidy side vs thick. The consistency is on point for what I like, but just not sure about the end result.

Works for my dry skin

I have very dry skin on my forehead. I have had better luck after switching to this. Though should still be adding moisturizer before this but I am forgetful!

Not sure yet

The jury is still out on this one. Its a very light cover. I've never used anything like it so it is taking me some time to get used to it. I think I may love it in the summer which is why I've kept it.

Not for oily skin

It’s ok. Every time I use it opens on my skin. I have oily skin and I think this one is best for dry skin.

So watery and minimal coverage; not buildable

I love the brand and have used their skin tint religiously, but this product is just awful? I purchased because I wanted more coverage for the winter months, and I thought this was a buildable foundation with increased coverage, but it was SO watery and lacked so much pigment that I put it on my face and it was virtually invisible. I would not recommend. Esp for this price point

Too orange

I keep trying to match my skin with this item and as much as I love the feel, texture and coverage...it just has too much orange to match my skin tone. I feel this line should expand their color choices to add cooler tones. Until then, I won’t be buying more.

The color is SO off

The formula itself may be fine but my color "match" is so off and so orange I literally had to immediately take it off and toss it.
