True Skin Radiant Priming Serum Light It Up 30 ml

The True Skin Radiant Priming Serum by ILIA Beauty gives tired or slightly dull skin a fresh new look. Its lightweight serum texture hydrates and smooths the skin's appearance, leaving a fine, silky glow—as makeup prep or worn on its own.

After application, the serum leaves skin feeling pleasantly smooth and slightly firm. Pores and fine lines look softer, while foundation and skin tint apply more evenly. The finely light-reflecting mineral particles subtly catch the light, making the complexion look more vibrant without leaving visible glitter particles.

• Hydrating serum and makeup primer in one
• Smooths the skin's surface and softens the appearance of pores and fine lines
• Prepares skin for an even, longer-lasting makeup application
• Gives skin a fresh, softly radiant glow without chunky glitter
• With aloe vera, beta-glucan, hibiscus, and mastic resin
• Lightweight texture with a silky-soft finish
• Can be worn alone or under foundation, concealer, and skin tint
• Formulated to be vegan and cruelty-free, and free of fragrance, gluten, and silicones
  

Aloe vera and beta-glucan hydrate the skin and help ease dry tightness. Hibiscus extract adds antioxidant plant compounds to the formula, while mastic resin refines the appearance of pores and uneven skin texture. Blue agave, along with red and brown algae extracts, helps leave skin feeling soft and cared for.

Three to four drops are enough for the entire face. Let the serum absorb for one to two minutes before the next step, until your skin feels silky and no longer damp. It pairs especially well with the Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 30. Explore our selection of foundations for more complexion products.

How to use

• Shake the bottle well before each use.
• Apply the Priming Serum as the last step in your skincare routine and before foundation, concealer, or skin tint.
• Dispense 3–4 drops into your palm.
• Gently spread the serum with your fingers, then lightly press or tap it into your skin.
• Let the formula 1–2 minutes to absorb completely.
• Use only a thin layer, as applying too much alongside other complexion products may cause pilling.
• For best results, dab or press foundation or skin tint on afterward rather than rubbing it firmly over the skin.
• Use the serum on its own for a fresh, soft-focus complexion.

FAQ

What is the difference between a priming serum and a classic primer?
True Skin Radiant Priming Serum combines the smoothing and grip-enhancing effects of a makeup primer with moisturizing skincare ingredients. Its texture feels lighter and more serum-like than many classic primers.

Where in my skincare routine should I apply the serum?
Apply it after your skincare and before foundation, concealer, or skin tint. Apply sunscreen before the Priming Serum and let it absorb completely first.

How much Priming Serum do I need?
Three to four drops, or no more than about a quarter of the dropper, are enough for the whole face. Using more won’t improve the result and may cause subsequent products to pill.

How long should I let the serum absorb?
Let the thin layer absorb for at least one minute, preferably one to two minutes. The texture should feel dry and silky before you apply makeup.

Why does the primer sometimes pill?
Usually, too much product was used, or the skincare layers didn’t have enough time to absorb. Use just a few drops and apply your complexion product afterward by patting rather than rubbing.

Can I wear Radiant Priming Serum without makeup?
Yes. Worn alone, it hydrates the skin, gives it a soft glow, and creates a smoother-looking finish. It contains no opaque color pigments.

Does the Priming Serum have glitter in it?
No. Mica and titanium dioxide reflect light very finely and give the skin a subtle radiance. The formula contains no coarse or clearly visible glitter particles.

Is the serum suitable for dry or mature skin?
Yes. Aloe vera, beta-glucan, glycerin, and maltose hydrate, while the silky finish makes pores and fine lines appear softer. If your skin is very dry, apply a suitable moisturizer beforehand.

Can I use the primer on oily skin?
Yes, but it should be used very sparingly. If your skin looks shinier, you can lightly powder just the T-zone afterward.

Is ILIA Radiant Priming Serum silicone-free?
Yes. It smooths without silicones, using moisture-binding ingredients, plant extracts, film-formers, and light-reflecting mineral particles.

Is True Skin Radiant Priming Serum vegan?
Yes. The formula contains no animal-derived ingredients. The product is also cruelty-free and Leaping Bunny certified.
