True Skin Radiant Priming Serum
Description
A clean, silicone-free priming serum that helps naturally fill, firm and soothe skin.
A radiant, soft-to-the-touch surface preps skin for long-lasting and seamless makeup application.
Bridging the gap between makeup and skincare, ILIA’s True Skin Radiant Priming Serum does more than creating a perfect base for makeup application.
Utilizing ingredients like Hibiscus Extract, Aloe, and Beta-Glucan, this silicone-free primer helps to firm, moisturize and soothe skin, while protecting it from harmful environmental factors that cause aging.
Upon application, the serum has a tightening effect that diminishes the look of pores and fine lines, while improving skin texture on dry down for a silky and soft-to-the-touch feel.
Skin is left with a radiant glow and prepped for effortless makeup application that lasts.
How to use
FOR: suitable for all skin types, including sensitive, dry, combination, and acne-prone skin
For best results, apply True Skin Radiant Priming Serum at the end of your skincare routine and before your favorite complexion products.
Shake well before use.
Dispense 3-4 drops into the palm of your hand.
Apply with your fingers as you would a serum.
Pat the formula into the skin.
On dry down, observe a mild tightening effect on the skin as the primer transforms to a silky, soft-to-the-touch finish.
Allow 1-2 minutes for the primer to set, then follow with your favorite clean foundation.
Editor's note
Most primers contain 80% or more silicone.
The weight of foundation plus silicone can be heavy on the skin, creating an occlusive barrier that may cause irritation or excess oil production.
We recommend applying up to a quarter dropper, which equals 3-4 drops into the palm of your hand, then press into your skin like you would with a serum.
Less is more with this product.
We recommend waiting at least 1 minute for the product to sink in.
If you apply too much or do not allow it to absorb before you apply another complexion product, it may peel.
When pairing True Skin Radiant Priming Serum with Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40, apply a light layer and let the priming serum set for 1 minute before product application.
“A little goes a long way, and it’s important to let the product dry down before makeup application to maximize the skincare benefits.
Because of the added radiance, it can easily be used on its own or paired with our True Skin Serum Concealer to brighten and even skin.”

Founder's story
Driven by her concern for “green washing”, her mother’s attentiveness to diet, healthy living and homeopathy which helped her brother, Zachary Ilia, to cure his acute asthma and severe allergies, Sasha Plavsic slowly started the creation of ILIA in Vancouver, 2011, a clean beauty line which is out to prove that functionality and stability can work hand in hand when it comes to achieving and maintaining your healthy skin and your good looks.
Throughout her twenties, Sasha was interested in design and typography, studying in London and New York, and working for brands such as Cartier, in marketing and branding.
This experience gave her a good understanding of the world of business which she later on used when she returned to Vancouver and founded the beginnings of ILIA.
The name, ILIA, is Slavic in heritage and has a double meaning.
It comes from their great grandfather who was a high-end shoe designer from Belgrade, in former Yugoslavia and it means hand made shoes and also organic and healthy, which captures the brand.
The ILIA BEAUTY promise
ILIA strives to transcend the concept of being organic and clean by incorporating a hybrid of safe synthetics and clean ingredients.
They use a large percentage of certified organic and bio-active botanicals from ethical and sustainable sources combined with a small amount of safe synthetics which enhances the performance of the products.
Each product contains up to 85% bio-active organic ingredients, sourced from organic farmers and processed in a laboratory that is certified with Gluten-Free and Leaping Bunny.
Each piece has an ethical-sustainable approach which is revealed by housing all their products in recycled aluminum cases.
Their taglines involve believing in skin that looks like skin and radiance that comes naturally.
They value transparency and always challenge the conventions of clean beauty to create something out of this world.
ILIA is committed to carve a new path by balancing safety and performance in products that truly work to make your skin look good and alive.
