Replacement for Ilia?

Hi! I just purchased the Ilia foundation (not the skin-tint, the serum foundation) in Formosa. I love the finish and the way it looks on my skin, but it’s breaking me out pretty badly. Is there a comparable foundation or skin tint that has a similar finish but is better for sensitive/acne prone skin? I used to use Lancôme Skin Feels Good, which I LOVED, but even the lightest shade (cool porcelain) was still a bit too dark for my face. Ilia had more shade options which is why I tried it.

Hi! Just came across this while trying to find something comparable. I LOVE the ilia skin tint, and I am also in the shade Formosa. I all of the sudden have a ton of closed comedones and I am in denial.. but I think this product might be the cause. Did you ever find something that was comparable?  I’m desperate to find something that makes my skin look as amazing as this does without the clogged pores!

Hi @HadenBell, I really like Tower 28 Beauty SunnyDays Lightweight Foundation. Here’s a pic of the Ilia and Tower 28 to show consistency -

The Ilia is Bom Bom (Skin Tint 5) - it’s described as a neutral but leans more warm peachy. I’ve been matched to Formosa before; that shade works best for me at the peak of winter.

The Tower 28 is in the shade Melrose.
