A first-of-its-kind serum with encapsulated Vitamin C, mineral SPF 40, and Niacinamide in a waterless base for brighter skin instantly and over time.

How it works

Breakthrough encapsulation technology maintains the formula’s potency and stability, delivering supercharged actives to brighten, smooth, and protect skin. The water-free base of weightless oils and Allantoin soothes and nourishes. Available in three translucent tones to neutralize white cast with a sheer, glowy finish.
Size: 1 fl oz | 30 ml

• Translucent Tone 2: for medium to medium-deep skin tones
• Translucent Tone 3: for deep to extra deep skin tones

How To Use

1. SHAKE IT UP: Shake C Beyond vigorously for 10-15 seconds before use. The formula contains a high volume of powders suspended in oil, and must be fully mixed for even application.
2.  BE GENTLE: Angle the pump downward and dispense onto fingertips and/or directly onto face, patting lightly and smoothing over skin. DO NOT rub the formula before or after applying—this will cause pilling.
3.  ALL SET: Once applied, allow C Beyond to fully absorb into skin. Wait at least 60 seconds before applying makeup. If your skin is more sensitive to vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid), ILIA recommends using C Beyond every other day.
4.  JUST IN CASE: If your skin needs more moisture, ILIA suggests an oil-based product prior to applying C Beyond—like a singular oil such as plant-based Squalane, which is found in C Beyond. Feel free to experiment with other moisturizers to see what works best for your skin.

FAQ

What shade am I?

C Beyond’s three tones are designed to neutralize the white cast from mineral SPF—not add a tint to your skin—so they’re flexible. Choose the tone closest to your skin tone. If you’re in between tones, go with the lighter one.

Does C Beyond provide any coverage?

C Beyond won’t add any coverage. The translucent formula has a small amount of sheer pigment to neutralize the white cast normally seen with mineral SPF. For more coverage, apply it as a base underneath your favorite ILIA complexion product.

Can I apply C Beyond on top of other skincare products?

Yes. C Beyond can be worn on its own, but you can also apply it after your normal skincare routine. For best results, allow any skincare products to absorb fully before applying C Beyond.

How much C Beyond should I use?

Use as much as you need to apply a generous, even layer that covers your entire face.

Why are some of the ingredients encapsulated?

To preserve their potency and stability, Vitamin C, Niacinamide, and Non-Nano Zinc Oxide are enclosed in microcapsules that dissolve on contact with skin.
