    Have nothing but good things to say about this cheap, and effective way of cleansing. I mix about 50/ 50 castor oil and jojoba oil. I also add in a few drops of seabuckthorn oil for that extra...

    I was reluctant to try this after reading rave reviews from another board because I have had breakout issues since I hit puberty. I gave in 8 months ago and am glad I did. It took one dry run to...

    Like so many people, I wanted this to work for me. At first, this went great; I could feel plugs coming out as I massaged the oil in my face and my skin was soft and smooth for the first week or...

    I've never reviewed on MUA before, but I really felt the need to share my experience with this method because I wish I had read more varied reviews before I tried it. OCM did not work for me. I...

    I love, love OCM (when done correctly!). I will admit that I attempted it once without an emulsifier and it was a disaster. When I didn't have castor oil in the mix, I developed terrible cystic...

    Ugh, I had high hopes for this. I went out and bought top of the line organic, cold pressed extra virgin olive oil and castor oil. After using the OCM method once, I was angry. You have to steam...

    I got the best Castor Oil and the best Extra Virgin Olive Oil and yet this was the biggest mistake I ever made. Every pore I never new existed was blocked. And yes, I did clean it off well. I...

    I agree strongly with JouliaGoulia (great name!) and her alterations to the OCM. I tried all the combos, all the oils without Castor oil...all of them with bad results. Some...

    This cleansing method is amazing IF you are willing to spend the time to find what works best for your skin. For me, cold-pressed natural oils are it. I massage into dry skin, let sit for a minute...
