Yes you can use it alone, or for better pore cleansing use a small percentage of Castor oil like 10%. Straight Jojoba also does a fantastic job. Smile

thank you for help Darkmoon. ^^
Does Olive oil also provide cleansing usage, because from the post DIY, Olive oil only provide moisture effect. If olive oil only provide moisture to skin, so do I need to use cleansing product after Olive oil?

The whole concept of OCM is that oil cleanses oil so yes you can use just Olive Oil. You have to use hot cloths to clean all oil off or you are leaving dirt behind. What you can do is after cleansing add fresh oil (just a little) and massage it into damp skin. Smile

Thank you so much, I have tried Olive oil, it works great on my skin. My jaw got so many whiteheads on it, and after I have used 3 times OCM, the whiteheads has gone. Furthermore, using OCM for dry skin are really really great, it moisture my skin, and I don't know why, after OCM, my skin are getting more brighten. I love this alot!
I am using 100% olive oil, it already works great, just wonder should I add castor oil? But I heard that castor oil will causing dryness.

It sounds like the Olive Oil alone is working beautifully for you! My thinking is if you find what works don't mess with it, you don't have to add Castor Oil, and with the results you are getting I wouldn't! It is very individual, I use a 50/50 Olive Oil and Castor Oil blend, but my skin is very normal! Enjoy what works for you and your skin! Smile

Thanks for the link darkmoon, I think blackheads are the bain of everyones life Laughing My mother is a beautician, but specialises in holistic therapies, she dispairs about me so she'll be happy when I ask her to order some oils. If she has some good recommendations I'll post them along with results.
