Microdermabrasion can cause breakouts in 2 ways - 1) if you are applying too much pressure it can aggravate acne - especially cystic acne; you need to let the machine do the work, and 2) it could just be purging your skin.
You might want to use a BHA product to help clean out pores, too.
I've never used camellia oil, so I can't offer any help on that - however, I do use jojoba & hazelnut oil without a problem. Hazelnut is great for oily skin because it's slightly astringent - and jojoba will help balance oil production. Neither one should cause breakouts - although there are always people who will have problems with any skin product.
