Best primer for oily skin?

Hey all! I've been using Smashbox Photofinish primer for the past couple of months, but it's just not right for me. I'm breaking out like crazy! I tend to have oily, acne-prone skin and medium-sized pores and I'm trying to find a primer that will not only de-slick, but will also minimize those craters I have on my cheeks. 

TIA!

I was just looking into the MAC Prep & Prime earlier today. I may have to check that one out. I do see that Clinique has one that looks like it may work, as well.

Thank you so much for your answer! I've been tossing around the idea of not using a primer anymore, myself, but I still want to try to find one that won't break me out. :)

Are you using the original Smashbox primer or Photofinish Light? Photofinish Light is meant for oily skin.

@Shelly I've been using the original Smashbox primer. Bleh. ;)

@Mandy Thanks! I will definitely make a trip to my Sephora this weekend and check out the Korres primer!

Dr. Brandt Pores No More Pore Refiner/Primer.
It's amazing! Reduces the look of pores, controls oil, and leaves your skin matte/feel amazingly silky smooth.
I have acne prone skin & this primer really helped with my oily skin.

NYX New HD Primers The clear one. I believe those are matte.
Correct me if i'm wrong.

@Joanna The Dr Brandt one sounds promising! Might take a look at that one when my current primer finishes.
