    For me, this works and I'm not sure if I could possibly want to go back to using a standard cleanser. I used to use a mix of castor and olive oil but didn't see any difference between just using...

    AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! This WRECKED my skin. I tried it to get rid of the pesky nose blackheads/sebum plugs, that never seem to come out unless I squeeze the crap out of them and deal with a red damaged...

    I have been experimenting with OCM for just over two months and although this method is not without its downsides, I love the results so far and I can already tell that I will not be cleaning my...

    Oh. my. good. ness. Ok so before OCM my skin was fine. Not perfect, but just fine. Of course fine wasn't good enough, so I decided to try OCM in the hopes to end my quest for perfect skin. Here's...

    *EDIT 2* I discovered my clogging and rosacea were caused by demodex (eyelash) mites which normally live in the roots of your eyelashes, ingesting sebum. They had been feasting on the oils I...

    Like others, this made my skin look AMAZING for a couple weeks. I would put foundation on one side of my face and the side without foundation looked better, which was insane. I felt like I took the...

    I came by this method via another routine, my hair sealing routine with castor oil at night. I noticed after about a week, my face was so smooth and after about 2 weeks much clearer. It was then...

    I started OCM hoping to remove the flakes on my face. I have oily skin and with flakes on my chin and cheeks. Althought this method works on so many people, it's not working for me. I tend to have...

    My skin has improved greatly with OCM, pores look smaller and definitively are cleaner. I never had too much acne (never as a teen—only as an adult) but this method of cleansing seems to get rid...

    I've been doing this for about a month using jojoba oil only. The upside is that it's ridiculously inexpensive (especially if you use a one-formula oil), you can make the "packaging" be whatever...

    Ok, so I used one part castor oil to two parts jojoba oil. I used a dropper so no bacteria would get in, plus they were new bottles. I would massage the oil mixture into my skin for a few minutes,...

    I've been using this for 6 months now and I love it! I started by just using olive oil, but not I mix with castor oil at times. I love how you can use whatever oils suit your skin or preference,...
