The dilepton production is investigated in proton-nucleus collisions in the forward region using the Color Glass Condensate approach. The transverse momentum distribution (${p}_{T}$), more precisely the low ${p}_{T}$ region, where the saturation effects are expected to increase, is analyzed. The ratio between proton-nucleus and proton-proton differential cross section for RHIC and LHC energies is evaluated, showing the effects of saturation at small ${p}_{T}$, and presenting a suppression of the Cronin type peak at moderate ${p}_{T}$. These features indicate the dilepton as a most suitable probe to study the properties of the saturated regime and the Cronin effect.
