L'Oreal Paris True Match Hyaluronic Tinted Serum is the clear pick. Revlon ColorStay Makeup for Normal/Dry Skin carries a failing PFAS grade, and we never recommend buying a failing product.

Where these two actually differ

  • We flag 1,4-dioxane contamination from emulsifiers, Fragrance allergens (unlisted components) and Microbial growth if stored improperly on the L'Oréal and not on the Revlon.
  • We flag 1,4-dioxane contamination in polymers or emulsifiers, Fragrance allergens and undisclosed sensitizers and Polymer film irritation or occlusion from wear buildup on the Revlon and not on the L'Oréal.
  • The L'Oréal is water, hyaluronic acid, glycerin, pigments, emollients where the Revlon is pigments, waxes, oils, polymers (unspecified coating type), which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • We are less certain about the Revlon grade, at 35% confidence against 75%, because it discloses less.

Both products run through the same public rubric, which covers materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
