I have been really loving the Ilia Barrier Build Skin Protectant Cream. It has been a part of my morning/ evening skincare routine. I love that it is fragrance free. The consistency is thick and luxurious but it doesn't leave your skin feeling oily. My sensitive skin drinks this up and it feels so smooth and hydrated afterwards. Even hours later my skin still feels hydrated and soft. This is also a great product for eczema prone skin. The colloidal oatmeal acts as a skin protectant. With consistent use this will improve the skin barrier reducing signs of redness and irritation. Plus, you will experience improved hydration of your skin. My skin looks healthier and glowy after applying. I love how my skin feels after applying the Ilia Barrier Build Skin Protectant Cream.
If you have sensitive skin or are eczema prone skin then this is certainly a product for you too!
I received the Ilia Barrier Build Skin Protectant Cream for free from Ilia in exchange for my honest opinion.

Ilia's facial milk is a moisturizer that hydrates my skin and leaves a soft texture. This formula is lightweight and very liquid, suitable for all skin types. The incorporation of natural ingredients helps to maintain skin hydration throughout the day. After a few weeks of use, I noticed that my face looks fresher. I am very happy with this facial milk base. I appreciate how easily it prepares my skin for a flawless makeup look. Following with the ilia Barrier build skin protectant cream to complement the skin care routine is so perfect it absorbs quickily after using for a few weeks i notice that my skin overall is looking more hydrated and feels plumper. The packaging of this products is very simple and clean i appreciate that this formula stands for cruelty free and fragance free.

I have been using this product for a few weeks and it has improved the look of my skin. I feel it has strengthened my barrier and I've seen less redness. I have noticed less flaking and I can use peels without my skin burning now. I received my sample on PinchMe for this honest review.

I received the Ilia Barrier Build Skin Protectant Cream as a free sample from PINCHme. This cream is so thick and luxurious! It soothes my dry skin so well. I even use it on my dry, chapped hands! A little bit goes a long way, which makes it worth the price. There's no overwhelming fragrance. It almost feels like a hydrating ointment.

I received a free sample of Barrier Build Skin Protectant Creamfrom ILIA and @ Pinchme. The redness on my checks has improved. I will continue to use the product and hope the redness vanishes completely. I wish it would work faster.
