Ila is the Sanskrit word for earth. This shows the brand’s commitment to making skincare that uses only pure, organic ingredients grown from the earth. Because the products are 100% natural, no preservatives are used. You never have to worry about how long the product has been sitting around, everything is fresh, hand-blended upon order.
I immediately noticed the scent of the cream, which reminded me of a pleasant mix of grass and cocoa butter. The four main ingredients in their ‘Amazonian Elixir’ are acmella, marapuama, pfaffia and white lily; each of which are said to encourage the skins restorative and renewal processes. It is ideal for combating wrinkles, lines and sagging skin.
My skin is really dry and this cream kept me hydrated all day long without feeling greasy. It felt lightweight and easily absorbed by my skin. After a few days use, I noticed that the redness and blotchiness in my skin was significantly reduced. It did not feel tight, irritated or itchy, which it usually does. I had a few blemishes on my face prior to using Ila Day Cream and I feel like it helped clear my skin up. It is the first time I’ve used a cream that is able to heal breakouts while keeping the skin well hydrated. I haven’t had a breakout since. I also notice that my skin looks a little more firm and tight. The fine lines on my forehead also look less pronounced. Since this cream smoothens out the skin, it creates a even canvas for makeup which makes it an ideal makeup primer.
I highly recommend this cream for those who have normal to dry skin. If you are looking for something that is anti-aging and skin calming this is the product for you.
