I'm so sorry that all happened, but I'm glad you're gonna keep trying- I prefer natural products, too, so I'll keep my fingers crossed as well!!!<br /><br />I started OCM about four days ago, only at night though- I use 2/3 Castor Oil, and 1/3 EVOO (my skin is super, super, super oily!). I was oily the first day after I had done it, but my skin has improved so much! Jay and I were riding in the truck yesterday, and out of nowhere, he looked at me and said "you look really glowy today."
