    Tried this one time and my face broke out worse than when I was a teenager. Took almost a week to get rid of the giant red zits. I was really excited about trying it too. Perhaps the...

    After 15 years of acne and oily skin, I decide to give OCM a try since I read so many positive things about it online. I am on day 11 using a 1:1 mix of castor and jojoba oils. I do this at night...

    Update #2: It's been perhaps 6 months now... I have given up the OCM - now I only use it to take of makeup when necessary - which is rarely, my cleanser does a pretty good job. I now use the EVOO...

    OCM is all about experimenting with oils and frequency to see what works for you. After a couple of months of use, I'm a big fan. My mix is about 25% castor oil and 75% sweet almond. I experimented...

    Cleansing with oil is becoming more popular. More and more high end lines are introducing oil cleansers that are extremely expensive yet no better than this. I have been using OCM for a couple of...

    I don't know why more people don't try/review the ocm! I gave it a couple weeks to try and make sure that it didn't end up a skin disaster and I have to say...this is the ONLY thing that cleared up...

    I tried to use the OCM using various oils including rosehip, olive, almond, jojoba, but they all dried out my already sensitive/dry skin. At first I thought it was working and was happy with such...
