ILIA’s Face Base Milk Just Launched and We’re Obsessed

Here's why you need it in your beauty bag.

What’s worse than dry skin? We’ll wait. With winter winds absorbing every ounce of moisture, finding a good group of products to lock in hydration and keep your skin plump is essential. Say hello to the ILIA Face Base Milk, the newest skincare product that’s on our radar.

What is ILIA Face Base Milk?

ILIA’s The Base Face Milk breaks away from ordinary skincare products, striking the perfect balance between a traditional moisturizer and a light essence. With each use, the hydrating face product provides a lightweight, potent and calming boost of moisture to instantly hydrate and reduce redness.

Smoother skin texture and a stronger skin barrier are among the top ILIA Face Base review call-outs.

The lightweight and versatile formula is designed to be flexible in your routine — after cleansing, use the face milk as your moisturizer to lock in hydration, or under a cream when your skin needs some extra love. Better yet, the product comes in a sleek glass bottle that looks oh-so-chic in your medicine cabinet.

With a powerful combination of ingredients including hyaluronic acid, prickly pear flower extract and plant-based squalane, this practical yet effective product simplifies our skincare routine — and we’re eternally grateful.

Features we love:

  • Lightweight, versatile formula
  • Suitable for all skin types
  • Sleek packaging
  • Reduces redness
  • Soothes skin texture
  • Safe for sensitive skin
  • Vegan and cruelty-free
  • Fragrance-free
  • Designed to layer below ILIA Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40

How to use ILIA Face Base Milk

Lightweight and easy to layer, the Face Base Milk formula works for all skin types and molds to your daily skincare routine, here’s the breakdown:

  • If you have oily skin, use it like a lightweight moisturizer as your final step
  • Those with dry skin should layer it underneath a moisturizer for an extra boost of hydration
  • If you have sensitive skin, apply it before your actives for extra skin barrier support

For the best application, give the bottle two to three shakes into your palms, rub them together and gently press into the skin.

The face milk is the perfect prep step before any ILIA complexion product, but works seamlessly with all brands of foundation and makeup as a first layer. Better yet, you can go makeup-free and show off your supple skin!
