What is an undertone?

An undertone is the color beneath the surface of your skin, which never changes (even with a tan). There are three types of undertones:

Pink/Cool

I see red or pink undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin burns easily, but barely tans.
My skin looks better in silver jewelry than gold.

Neutral

I see both pink and yellow undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin sometimes burns and sometimes tans.
My skin looks good in both gold and silver jewelry.

Yellow/Warm

I see yellow or golden undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin rarely burns, but tans easily.
My skin looks better in gold jewelry than silver.

Ilia

Sasha Plavsic founded ILIA after her mother—a pioneer of health and wellness—encouraged her to read the ingredients on the label of her favorite lip balm. She was shocked to discover that many of the ingredients weren’t safe. Sasha set out to recreate her favorite lip balm with clean, skin-centric ingredients, and the idea for ILIA was born.

Reviews

Amazing face cream

"My boyfriend and I both use this, it really is the only thing we’ve found that works for sensitive skin (better than Vanicream). It really calms the skin and restores the skin barrier. Feels very nourishing and doesn’t feel greasy."

— Rebecca H. (5/5)

Feels great

"Paired with their super serum skin tint and/or skin rewind complexion foundation stick. The makeup goes on like skin care."

— Lisa B. (5/5)

Best Face Lotion for Sensitive Skin

"I just re-ordered the Barrier Build Skin Protectant Cream. I love this product. It’s creamy, not too heavy, not too thin, absorbs quickly, and doesn't leave a stickiness or film to my neck as other lotions do."

— Nina (5/5)

Holy Grail Moisturizer!

"I absolutely love this cream! I have struggled for so long with dry, irritated, aging skin and this is the first product that has provided lasting moisture and given me a glowy, dewy look. I have tried SO many products and tend to have a lot of difficulty finding moisturizers that don't irritate my sensitive skin and eyes, but this one is perfect. My skin looks younger, firmer and happier overall. Highly recommend!"

— Kate (5/5)

"I’m going to keep using this cream - absorbs beautifully and doesn’t cause breakouts for me. I’m 38 with hormonal acne prone skin."

— Ashley (5/5)

Luxurious

"I bought this for my mom and she loves it!"

— Julie F. (5/5)

Sensitive skin friendly

"I have acne prone and very sensitive skin. This cream slaps! My skin always feels moisturized and plump, never greasy. It's never caused a breakout, which is shockingly rare for any moisturizer I've used. I only use products that are rated excellent on Yuka, and this is my new fave."

— Ashley E. (5/5)

simple and effective

"rich, unscented, clean"

— Alexandra P. (5/5)

Really nice daytime moisturizer

"I’m really liking this product. It’s smooth, moisturizing, and leaves my skin feeling really nice. Would buy again."

— Courtney S. (5/5)

Reactive Skin Perfector

"I have eczema and type 1/2 rosacea. It's difficult to find a lotion/cream that doesn't flare up one or both of my issues. My skin is ridiculously reactive. I've been using this cream for about two months and it really is soothing and has helped calm down my skin. I've only used about half the jar, and I use it everyday, sometimes twice a day. A little goes a long way. Whenever I try a new product that irritates my skin, this is what a reach for to calm it back down. I'm hoping they make a lighter version that is a lotion instead of a cream for hotter months."

— Jessica (5/5)
