So, I have only tried two primers one wasn't technically a primer, it was the Oil Control Mattifier by Murad and I must say works great for oil control horrible under makeup though. The primer I am using now is Urban Decay's Brightening and TIghtening potion, and while it feels lightweight on my skin it's just not helping like I would like. My skin has very large pores from extremely severe acne during puberty. I got it under control and now just the occasional zit, my cheeks stay dry and the rest of my skin just a slight bit oily not bad. I tried my sister Too Faced Primed and Poreless Pimer is broke me out TERRIBLY badly. So for people out there with combination SENSITIVE acne prone skin what primer do you suggest?

Check the ingredients list.. If there's silicone, there's a big chance that you might be breaking out because of the silicone content of your primer. Silicone makes your makeup base to look even and reducing the largeness of the pores but also at the same time clogs your pores. Either you choose another primer that doesn't have a silicone content or make sure at the end of the day to thoroughly clean your face. Hope that helps! :)
