Love it BUT just know that it's not necessarily "oil control" (I literally don't know where they got that claim from, it's fabulous otherwise). I have oily skin and this applies as a bit tacky/sticky and doesn't exactly dry into a matte finish. On me, it's still quite shiny but I guess the kids these days might call it "dewy"? But yeah if you're into dewy T-zones with a healthy shine, this is your thing

Customer reviews
I really wanted to love this - but the reviews saying it's gritty are accurate (it feels like rubbing sunscreen on your skin at the beach where sand got on your hands and its abrasive/uncomfortable). The shade is also kinda grey-beige and wasn't flattering for me. I unfortunately will be returning this one. Disappointing.
I do not have sensitive skin. This is the only product I have ever reacted to! I got horrible contact dermatitis after using for less than a week. I returned this immediately and will never recommend this to anyone.
Horrible, this product burn my skin, is definitely NOT CLEAN it claims to be, found out Im not the only one, lots of people are reporting this, unfortunately I can't get a refund, I will never buy anything from ILIA, unfortunately the customer service dont care, I sill love you Sephora.
Purchased this product a month ago and then decided to use it just couple days ago, as my current sunscreen was finished. I was excited about using this but turned out disappointing due to its Grainy structure. Feels like sand particles in it even after shaking it well. Couldn’t return or exchange it due to past 30 days policy. Even other customers were complaining the same thing when I searched online about it.
I love this formula the only issue is I find it to be slightly grainy. Otherwise, this is one of my favourite sunscreens, it blends in nicely and leaves my skin with a satin finish.
Terrible. Oily, shiny finish that provided zero coverage and if anything it accentuated pores and any flaws. It was supposed to be a matte finish. Anything but. And it’s so sticky that my hair sticks to it. What a fail. Their other tinted skin serum was also a big big fail. Will stick to other brands.
this sunscreen is definitely grainy - it has tiny sand-like particles which was really off putting at first.BUT - the finish is beautiful, its does not cause congestion or clogged pores AT ALL, it evens skin tone and the grainy feeling goes away oncr its rubbed it....odd feeling, but good product.
I really do like this, next time I will order a Lighter sunsceen, but you just need a little bit.
I was looking forward for this, I got it as a gift, unfortunately this burn my skin, just be careful, I will return it.
