Well I have tried a few actually. I am oily on my t zone area & I tried several. It makes a difference if you are using the right combo, primer & foundation. I tried the clarins with the MAC sculpt, which later find out tjat MAC is not really good for you in the long run as it has too much oil that will clog your pores. So I switched to MakeUp Forever Matt Primer along with the Make Up Forever Velvet Foundation...I love this product but this too combo just made it too matty (if that even is the right word for it). The outcome is great but it is just hard to apply as its really too "matty". So now I am using the HD Primer in green-Make up Forever with HD Liquid Foundation. It works and I just loved MAKE UP FOREVER BRAND.
Also, you may want to try COSMEDICINE in matte (if your oily). I love this one as well. It keeps your face hydrated, absorbs the oil and reduce your pore size!!!!
All these brands you can get at Sephora...for the primer, you may want to check which one is best for you. The green one is more of if you have redness, purple is for yellow shades (mostly for asians that has different skintones on their face).
Hope this helps...thanks...
