Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40
SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
ILIA Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 offers a natural, soft matte finish that dries down quickly and layers without pilling, making it suitable for oily T-zones. Professional makeup artist Nikki La Rose warns it feels oily and lacks longevity, while Amanda Z reports stinging and irritation with consistent use. Coverage is described as medium by some, and the shade range is praised, but those with sensitive skin should proceed with caution.

MIXED / NEGATIVE
