Primer vs Oil Control Blur

I have been using the primer with good results, but I just discovered that there's an oil control blur.
What's the difference between them? The descriptions seem similar, though the Blur has more silica.
I do have a little redness, but not as much as I used to since I started washing my face with honey. My main goal is to reduce oil, keep my makeup on, and minimize pores a little.

If the primer is working, I would stick to it. More silica might dry you out. The drier the skin, the more the pores will show. Fine pore size is partly dependent on finding a balance in hydration to oil reduction.

thanks Jen! I do have oily skin but do get dry easily. Primer it is!
