Is it safe to use a cleanser that has some oils in it? (I'm trying to go more natural and most of the natural cleansers contain oils)With oily acne prone skin that gets dry easily and is sensitive...?
It depends on the oil/s in the product. Some are very comedogenic or irritating. Check the list against the ingredients and see how the oils rank for pore clogging tendencies.

On this list mineral oil is ranked as a 0. It will not clog pores as on a molecular level it cannot get into your pores, but it will create a barrier and block them or trap other ingredients in the product which may be comedogenic in your pores.
This list below has just oils grouped in low, moderate, and high clogging potential....

nurtagina and put lotion after!
If you've got super sensitive skin then definatly go with the clinique 3 step system. I was using it for a while and it was super gentle on my skin, and cleared up some of my acne (but not all of it). The combination of products for combination skin (like mine and yours) is this: The liquid cleanser in mild, the toner in #2, and the dramatically different moisturizer (only on the parts of your face that need to be moisturized, or a super thin layer of it all over your skin). This won't clog your pores, it doesn't have perfumes and / or oils in it, and is a pretty good skin care system.. plus.. the bottles are so huge they last for a really long time. If you can't afford the clinique system, then definatly go with either Cetaphil (the one in the GREEN bottle) or with Purpose (which is also VERY gentle). Dove is also pretty good, but it dried out my skin a little after a while.
You can try Cetaphil. I have rosacea and my skin seems to do okay. It was recommended by my dermatologist.
Try this:
Mix baking soda and witch hazel/or water together until it comes to a good constancy, and then spread on your face and leave it on for 10-15 minutes. these two things are very inexpensive and it's very easy to do since there is only two ingredients.
Toothpaste is good for drying out your pimple (for some people). Put only a little bit before you go to sleep. Some people use this as a mask but DON鈥楾 EVER DO THIS! It can change your skin tone and make your face discolored.
Aloe vera helps scars lighten and less noticeable (lemon, cocoa butter, witch hazel, and tea tree oil do the same thing). Use the gel (of the aloe plant) or the real thing.
Try to buy a cleanser that works for you, and when you wash your face, open your pores with hot water (not too hot, or it will dry out your skin) and massage it gently into your skin. Then, use cold water at the end to close you pores. The smaller your pores are, the less likely you're prone to pimples. Clearasil, Neutrogena, and proactive are good choices to start if you want a cleanser. Don't use body soaps because they dry out your skin. Don't scrub too hard either, because it can irritate your skin.
An egg yoke can be used to make you pores smaller. I used this when I had pimples. Just take the egg yolk (the yellow part) and leave it on your face for 10-15 minutes and rinse off with warm water and then splash your face with cold water.
Keep your hair out of your face because the oils in your hair could go into your pores. Change you sheets because they're are trapped with dirt, oils, etc.
Zinc (type of vitamin) is the one of the best things you can use to get rid of pimples. You can buy these almost about any large store (such as Wal-Mart or Shaws.) Have one tablet per day and try to cut down the junk food and replace it with vegetables and fruits. Drink lots of water and don't pop you acne. Popping acne can lead to acne scars.
If you have sensitive skin, don't use make up. Some of the things in make up can clog your pores and cause pimples. Keep your hands out of your face as much as you can because you hands a full of bacteria and oils.
ummm sure
