SPF is important year-round, not just during summertime. If you’re looking for a lightweight option that wears well under makeup and offers other benefits beyond just sun protection, this innovative new option available at Sephora is just what you are looking for.

Ilia’s new Sun Serum Mineral Sunscreen offers SPF 50, controls oil for up to eight hours, and provides lightweight hydration for up to 24 hours. As Ilia puts it, this SPF “feels like skincare” and comes in two shades, either light-medium or medium-deep. This means it won’t leave a white cast.

So far, shoppers are loving this new SPF, giving it an average rating of 4.6 stars on Sephora.com, with 93 percent of reviewers saying they would recommend it to others. In the reviews, fans appreciate the mineral sunscreen for its lightweight feel, blendable consistency and the fact it doesn’t leave a white cast like other SPFs tend to do.

“Lightweight, blends easily and doesn’t leave a white cast. Keeps shine under control for hours and wears well under makeup. Skin looks smooth and protected,” wrote one impressed Sephora shopper in a five-star review on Sephora’s website.

“I really enjoyed using this sunscreen. It is easy to dispense your desired amount without making a mess. I like that it has a tint that worked well with my skin tone and did not look too dark or orange. It was comfortable on my skin and felt lightweight, and I liked that it did not leave a white cast on my skin. Unlike some sunscreens, it did not leave my skin looking oily or shiny,” said another fan in a five-star review on Sephora.com.

You can find this innovative new sunscreen online on Sephora.com or in select Sephora stores. It retails for $40 for 1.52 fluid ounces.
