I have EXTREMELY sensitive combination skin. My skin is exceptionally clear except for a couple black heads in my nose and redness around my cheeks sort of like a natural blush , that really bother me! How do I get rid of these quickly without irritating my skin?

Yay skin care question! These almost never pop up :(
If you're concentrated on clearing your black heads, I would recommend any face wash with salicylic acid, 0.5-1%. The way salicylic acid works is by dissolving whatever surface it's on in layers, which makes it perfect for getting inside the blackhead and unclogging it from the inside. I would also stick to a water based moisturizer, especially since you have oily skin. You wanna make sure you're moisturizing your skin after stripping it of it's natural oils or it will start over compensating, which may cause more clogging and therefore more blackheads :( another effective way to get rid of black heads is pore strips, you can buy them at any drugstore, and they're basically like tape that remove the blackhead. Though I must say, this is mostly effective on newer blackheads, and may not remove all of them, some of them like to hold on real tight. For tough black heads you can always buy an extraction tool, which is exactly what it sounds like, it's a little tool that you use to squeeze the black head out safely without causing the bacteria to go deeper, yes that is as gross and satisfying as it sounds. You can buy them at almost any drugstore or beauty supply store. After you're rid of your black heads, stick to very mild cleansers, a milk cleanser is your best bet. It's full of nutrients, but not oily and it doesn't have harsh chemicals that will irritate the skin! I love Micabellas Milk Cleanser.

I have the exact same skin type, and right now I'm using natural products called Alba Botanica natural Hawaiian facial wash with the Alba Botanica natural acne dote lotion. They help to regulate oily skin and matte your face. It feels so smooth too! For me it also helped to even out my skin tone. It's a really nice product.

I have the same kind of skin with redness on my cheeks. I use the St. Ives green tea scrub. I also moisturize my skin constantly. I use a face mask with honey, egg whites, plain yogurt, cinnamon, and lemon juice once a week and it has helped me with a lot of my skin problems.
