    First of all, I have THE most finicky skin. Everything pretty much burns or makes me break out. WOW. I finally got around to trying this last night and I must say I loved how my skin looked after...

    UPDATED 2/17/2008 My method: About 25% castor oil, 25% jojoba oil, and 50% grapeseed oil. (None of these broke the bank and are pretty readily available at Wild Oats/Whole Foods, a locally owned...

    I am sorry but I don't like this at all. I am very acne prone and unfortunately this made things much worse for me. The castor oil definitely gave me a "drying" effect, however, adding the olive...

    UPDATE: My initial review was glowing. I loved the OCM, especially the thought of it, being all-natural and simple. My skin, on the other hand, HATED it. After 2 rounds of the OCM my skin was raw,...

    I love this method and have been using for over 3 months. I do OCM in the PM and Dr. Hauschka Cleansing Cream in the AM. Really has helped with my extremely stubborn blackheads. Periodically a...

    I really think this is something people should definitely try. I mostly use Albolene (which is primarily petrolatum and mineral oil) since my skin is so absurdly sensitive, and many oils are...

    I found OCM on the LHC board and decided to give it a try. It's been three weeks and I have had only two very small pimples pop up that were gone the very next day. I had two remaining spots that...

    When I first tried the OCM, I was terrified and very skeptical. I tried a sample of DHC Deep Cleansing Oil and LOVED the results. It was a little difficult to rinse off, but I loved the end result....

    I just started using this method 2 weeks ago. Let me first say that if you are not prepared for some breakouts then don't try this. I had 4 huge cystic pimples pop up which took about a week to...

    Okay - so I started the OCM about 2 1/2 weeks ago. Since then, my face has suffered an ENORMOUS breakout. I am not sure whether it is purging or what, but it has not been this bad in AGES. I have...
