I've never used castor oil but personally I prefer to use oil by itself. Oh, another thing I found great for removing blackheads is baking soda. It's fantastic! </font> dear troubledgal, don’t use castor oil! it will completely dry out your skin. i suggest you go to see a face specialist and find out your skin type. then work from there. please know your skin type because we all have different skin.

I have not seen any improvement on my blackheads. I ve purchased other oil so I might stick to using Jojoba Oil for a while and see if it helps. When you use Jojoba oil, do you still need to add castor oil? As I found from my research the sites recommended that u add in more castor oil if u have oily face (oily tzone) <font color="#990033"><strong>troubledGal</strong>: I use it by itself without the castor oil. I suppose you can add, but if you're not seeing benefits after a month, then maybe this cleansing method does not work for your skin...anyway, I've reduced to using this only once or twice a week now.</font> I have been using it for about a month.

I was using Grape Seed oil plus castor oil, hoping it will improve my oily tzone and remove blackheads but nothing change. <font color="#990033"><strong>troubledGal</strong>: Hmm...how long have you tried OCM? The result is not immediate for some. Some readers report seeing results in a month. Then again, perhaps it's not the best cleansing method for your skin type. Anyway, my first attempt wasn't too successful too. It was the 2nd time around when I changed the oil that I noticed a difference. </font> I’m so disappointed as I thought the OCM will help clear my blackheads or at least improve a bit but it doesnt.

Well, no. The important thing is your cleanser should be gentle. And about the washcloth, I have similar concerns which is why I don't use OCM that frequently. I'm uncomfortable about the cloth and the heat from the steaming water.</font> hmm wouldn’t the double cleansing remove more oil? and do you use just jojoba alone to cleanse it the first time?
