Best primer for acne-prone/sensitive skin?!

Hi ladies! My face is oily, and very sensitive. I've got big pores, and break out easily. Unfortunately, many primers I try tend to break me out (especially ones with silicone) or they tend to break up my foundation...any suggestions?!
P.S. I've tried Benefits porefessional and smash box both have broken me out!

Smash box broke me out too - I like the hourglass mineral veil primer - it hasn't broken me out but it's an amazing primer that reduces the look of pores and color corrects a bit - so I love it another good one is the coverFX acne primer it has salicylic acid to treat acne and is a gel that I don't think has any silicone in it / it's water based and has never given me any problems

Well I just looked at the ingredients for the coverFX it does have silicones in it and water but it's a good brand that was made for sensitive skin types.

Hey that sounds like my skin! haha:) I like the Lorac I'm So Sensitive Primer and Nars Pro-Prime Multi-Protect Primer. The Nars primer has the added benefit of SPF30. I haven't tried the ones Diana suggested but I have heard good things about them!

Too faced hangover, urban decay brightening and tightening, and korres have primers that I use. The Korres is the anti-aging one. I love it

My daughter has similar issues with her skin and she loves Laura Geller Spackle. Ms. Jacqueline recommended it to me a while back and my daughter swears by it.
