    I have been doing OCM method for over ten years. I found that it is not for everyone and I do go through spells where I stop for a few months and then start again. I think the real key to...

    First I want to start off by saying I don't really get acne only an occasional pimple here and there. When I tried this a week ago my face was totally clear except for some stubborn white heads on...

    After hearing raves about the OCM, I thought I would try it out. I didn't have great results with jojoba or olive oil. I now use about 6 parts flax oil to one part castor oil. The other tricks I've...

    I gave OCM a shot after feeling like I'd tried everything to help with my acne. I liked the idea of using natural products on my face, so I thought I'd give it a go. I did OCM for about 6 weeks...

    At first, doing OCM made my skin very oily and caused my acne to worsen. Nevertheless, I still decided to continue because I thought that this might be the initial reaction my face. But as months...

    Sadly, OCM just did not work for me. The first couple of weeks were great. My skin seemed less oily and I liked that fact that it was such a cheap way to cleanse my face. But then I started...

    I am relieved that others have experienced the same issues as me - OCM working wonders for a few weeks, and then turning your skin to hell. My combination skin was pretty clear to begin with,...

    The OCM can give you truly amazing results, but it has it's pitfalls and needs to be calibrated to your specific skin type. I will give you the benefit of the knowledge I have amassed through trial...

    You know, this is like everything else on the planet. Try it with a healthy dose of skepticism and listen to your skin. If you're breaking out while doing this, STOP. I'm 47 and I'm gonna admit...

    Over time this method is traumatic for my dry skin. The oil penetrates deeply and strips instead of replenshing the face with moisture. There is such thing as too clean. I can tolerate this...

    I had clear skin before trying out OCM. Disastrous! I've tried OCM for 2 months - with castor oil, without castor oil, with an emulsifer (polysorbate) and without, and trialed a plethora of...
