L'Oreal : True Match Foundation

Everyone was talking about this product, so i decided to give it a try. Since the first day that I used it I noticed that I started to get new pimples on my skin, but I just continued using it to see if it was a reaction to the product. After a week I realized that this product was breaking out my skin, so I stopped using it and then I proved that it was the product. I have a very picky sensitive skin, so I have to be very careful with the makeup products that I use, wither they can have a non reaction or they can break out my face. If you have a sensitive skin as mine I will not recommend this product for you. I hope my experience helps you.

My skin is very normal. not too oily not too dry, never really breaks out other than occasional blemish here and there. I first tried this foundation summer of 2014, I found a wonderful shade that worked perfect for me, the coverage stunned me and the finish was beautiful however after a while I started noticing clusters of acne forming on my cheeks. I didn't contribute it to the foundation because make up usually doesn't break me out, I thought it was just hormonal changes however I loved the foundation too much to stop using it to even see if this was the cause of the acne. My acne got worse and worse and I couldn't control it no matter how hard I tried, no product reduced my acne. and on top of the giant clusters of acne constantly covering my cheeks I had blue/purple/red/brown scars. the worst scarring I've had up to this time in my life. there be periods where my acne would shift to the upper sides of my cheeks and leave my middle alone and it still looked like I had acne because the scars were so bright. I continued using it until around December 2014 after my mom urged me to consider it the cause of the acne. within a week of stopping the use of it my skin cleared completely of any bumps all my acne faded, however I was left with the bright acne looking scars that I was very self conscious about. It is summer 2015 a year after I first started and about half a year after stopping I still have scarring however it has improved greatly, a couple of days ago I decided to give the foundation another go purely because I had truly enjoyed the finish and coverage and because I was curious if it had been a hormonal thing that caused my acne or this foundation, in a sense, I wanted closure. After two days of usage I already see acne forming on my cheeks. I stopped usage immediately and now for sure know this foundation is not for me. Sorry about the long testimony but please beware before trying this foundation. I loved it however I hated the way it left my skin In the end. I say try it, if you see break outs forming stop use immediately. all skin is different and this foundation was definitely not for me.

I have never suffered acne before but on both sides of my cheeks after one week of using this foundation has caused mild - medium acne and it is so painful! Definitely try get this on special if you are trying this for the first time. :( Read fantastic reviews about this but unfortunately doesn't work for me. Remember everyones skin is different but this is my experience. :(

I have oily, acne prone skin and even using the littlest amount of this like only one shake from the bottle makes me get horrible acne EVERYWHERE. My skin was mostly clear and I decided to use this (what an awful mistake) and broke out on my forehead and nose where I NEVER EVER break out and red pimples all over my cheeks and sides of my face. This is the only thing I changed in my routine. My face feels tingly after I wear this and I look in the mirror and my face is irritated. This is the only foundation that matches my skin color right now which is the only reason I use it when I have things to do. I Regret it EVERY SINGLE TIME. As soon as I buy a new foundation I will be THROWING THIS IN THE TRASH! This makes me oily as heck and has no coverage and somehow cakes around pimples and irritates skin, if you have oily acne prone and DEFINITELY sensitive skin do NOT waste your money on this garbage. :(

Purchased true match brand from the New range in boots two weeks 4 days ago, as out of stock with my usual foundation, true match looked simalure to my usual foundation brand so tried it out, felt ok when applied and didn't have any problems with it for the first 4 days, then I started to notice a few red spots on my face and neck so thought it was my hormones from being due on ! After a few days it got a lot worse my face/ neck became pimply, itchy, sore and rashy, I have never had a problem with different foundations including my usual brand before so this is a first for me ! My face is still full of pimples, sore spots and rashes have not gone, very sore and not sure what to do, I would not recommend this product, very disappointed with the true match brand but not with boots.

I bought this foundation because I saw so many acne coverage videos using this foundation. It broke me out so bad on the forehead. I had huge red pimples on the right side of my face. It clings to dry patches and doesn't stay last long.

Initially, I thought this was the holy grail of foundations. My skin was pretty clear (minus post-acne redmarks and a few shallow scars on cheeks- everywhere else, I was clear), but after using this product for about a month, I started developing small, rash-like pimples around my chin and mouth. I have never broken out around the side of my chin before and this breakout was awful. It was persistant and no matter what kind of treatment or facewash I used, it would only get more irritated and break out more. Absolutely awful. Oddly enough, the rest of my face stayed relatively clear. I stopped using this foundation and the breakouts have lessened greatly, but now I can only use Purpose bar cleanser and no acne products on that area because anything more than extremely gentle products make my face break out now. I think this foundation increased sensitivity.

I have been using BP nightly to keep my hormone-related acne at bay. While I get a pimple on my chin every once in a while, my regimen has been successful at controlling the pimples. I tried this product given it's claim that it doesn't clog pores. 2 weeks later, I had a massive break out in places I normally don't get pimples, like my cheeks forehead. I am fairly certain this product caused it, as I am religious with my regimen and that was the only change I made. So be careful!

don't buy this. i'm as pale as they come and when i put this on i looked like i rolled around in doritos. basically, i was orange. i have oily skin, and after about 2 hours of wearing this foundation my skin looked oily and cakey. it has okay coverage, but i seriously wouldn't reccomend it if you have acne, because it broke me out. it may be different for other people though.

If you are acne prone don't touch this stuff!!! My face was nearly clear with only the occasional blemish when I switched to this foundation. Now I have horrible acne on my entire face. I even have cysts, something I've never experienced in the past. My olive skin is hard to color match when it comes to foundation, but this product's perfect color match wasn't even close to worth what I'm experiencing right now. I've switched to Makeup Forever HD... and we'll see.
