What it is:
A moisturizing primer.

Hydrating Primer SPF 15 is step one of Stila's four steps to a purely flawless face. This good-for-you primer provides time-released skincare benefits and maintains hydration levels in the skin for a perfectly-prepped palette.What else you need to know:The innovative formula contains dermaxyl, for anti-aging and hydration benefits, and time-released hyaluronic acid spheres that plump the skin for a soft, moisturized feel.
What it is:
A silky smooth primer that penetrates quickly to mattify the complexion.

What it does:

A silicone-free, 99 percent natural, antioxidant-rich face primer that creates the perfect canvas for makeup application.

The Verdict:
Korres looks and feels more like a lotion than anything, it has a nice smell to it though, does not control oil.
Stila's Hydrating primer is a nice thick SPF lotion like primer, but does not control my oily skin either.
Sephora's primer does a good job at controlling my oily skin and keeping it matte.
