Primer for very oily skin? Does it exist?

[janie83]

I use Erborian Super BB cream and it's great but does give off a shine and by midday I'm very greasy round the tzone.

Can anyone recommend a good primer for oily skin that feels nice on and doesn't cause breakouts? Thank you!!

I have oily skin and I had to change my entire skin care routine and then my primer for it to be effective.

I wash my face with cetaphil wash for oily skin. I use The Inky List niacinamide over my face, no moisturiser in the day. The best primer I've ever used is No 17 Oily Skin primer! I apply it to my face and wait a few moments for it to set, and then I apply my concealer. I don't wear liquid foundation anymore. I set with setting powder and then Urban Decay All Nighter Spray. This will last me for an entire 13hr shift.

Thanks @QuinnofHearts !

Is this the primer you recommend?

It's surprisingly cheap!! X

That's the bad boy!!! I've used so many but this is great.

Not sure if it's still made, but when I was younger I used to use Urban Decay - de-slick. I think its marketed for teens with particularly oily skin so worked a charm for me

I like the ordinary silicon primer but am going to check out the no. 17 one at price (!)

@QuinnofHearts thank you, I notice the reviews of this one mostly say it very easily pills on the face if not applied within 3 seconds! Do you find this?? X

I can't say I've noticed? I rub it inbetween my fingers so it's warms up, apply it over my nose and cheeks. I sometimes use a damp beauty blender if I'm feeling fancy!!!

I loved that stuff!

I like the No. 7 Pore Minimising Primer. No breakouts for me.

The Elf power grip primers get great reviews.

@QuinnofHearts I'm gonna give it a go! Thanks for the recommendation! X
