Revealer Skin-Improving Foundation SPF 25 - Sample Card

I tried so hard to like this after reading so much hype, but it caused breakouts and itchiness each time. I’m 45 and haven’t had skin problems like this in decades! Brands I’ve used without issues include Chanel, Bare Minerals, Nars, Shiseido, and Laura Mercier. I was seeking a perfect color match but each time I tried it, my skin felt clogged immediately and I’d get deep-forming pimples over the next few days. I waited at least a week between attempts, without using any makeup at all to make sure nothing else in my skin care routine was causing it, and once the breakout would clear, I’d try another shade, immediately resulting in another breakout. After 3 tries, I have to conclude there is something in the Kosas formula that my skin just doesn’t like. The finish also looks dull and matte, and settles into lines and pores, as well as turning to a kind of flaky texture after about an hour. Bummed to have spent almost $30 for the two sample packs (foundation and concealer) only to have to start at square one in my search.
