I am thinking Oil Control Blur is what you need. ;)

There's also the Oil Control Serum for underneath the makeup. That works a treat!

And you really want to address the reason you're need to cover those problems :)
The oil control serum is great, and you also want to try using the BHA and the pore refining toner, and a cleanser that doesn't strip your skin of its natural oils so it goes into overdrive. I like the oil cleanser (I know, it totally sounds counterintuitive, but trust me) and Karen's foaming cleanser is nice. Check out the Skin Care forum here for more ideas.

We oilies always have to deal with it to some extent, but those products will make it easier in the long run :)

It's been working great for me. I use it as the first layer of product after cleansing and toning, and let it dry before I do anything else. I only put a drop each on my forehead, nose and chin. Before, I used to have to blot a few hours into my day, but ever since I've started using this, I don't have to worry about the shine until well into the afternoon. It's still getting better, I guess it has a cumulative effect.
