I have my skin type listed as sensitive for the reason being because I easily break out or "purge" when switching products. I can tell the difference from a product within 24 hours of using it. Not...

This method is okay. I really like the emulsifying cleansing oils, but the true oil cleansing method was just so so. It does remove makeup well and leaves the skin feeling soft, but you can feel...

This method was awful. It broke me out even though I used a microfiber cloth and an emulsifying oil. I've now had the most severe acne i've had in years

The Oil Cleansing Method was the worst thing to ever happen to my skin!!!! I’ve always had mild acne, I’m 20 and have had it since I was probably 13. Nothing too bad though, just like 3-5 smallish...

If you care about your sanity at all, DO NOT TRY THIS. ESPECIALLY NOT IF YOU ARE ACNE PRONE!!! Long story short my skin was 70% clear, with the other 30% suffering from hormonal breakouts; that...

I have never written a review, but I feel like I must. If I could give this a ZERO rating I would. If you are acne prone...DO NOT TRY THIS. Basically, I experienced the exact same things that...

I tried this for a long time and then used it on and off for a few months and overall I'm rather disappointed. I use jojoba oil as a moisturiser and I'm all for natural alternatives, however, my...

TL;DR (oh man I love when others do this so here we are): 2/3 castoir oil, 1/3 corn oil, 10 drops tea tree oil. Two pumps of oil for giving myself a nice face massage. Then I wash the oil away...

All right, I need to start out, by saying, that when I first used the ocm 2 years ago, it was horrible!! Worst thing I could have done to my face. I have medium to moderate acne and I'm 45 years...

One thing I want to make very clear is that oil used as a cleanser alone will break me out. Coconut, olive, rosehip...most oils, give me cystic acne. Jojoba and mineral oil are trustworthy in my...

Let me just start off by saying I have the most sensitive skin ever. Almost everything makes my skin go crazy. But OCM has done wonders for my skin. The key is to do your own research. Don't take...

I'll keep this short and simple---the OCM destroyed my skin and it's taken years to recover from it. I wanted to go for an all natural route to treat my sensitive, rosacea skin and seeing so much...
