Okay, I'm giving in and having to buy my oil online. Anyone know any reasonably priced websites for castor oil and jojoba oil?

My skins a complete mess atm, hoping that the OCM will work as nothing else has!

the ocm can make your skin purge. i think it works differently for everyone.so be prepared to break out.

there are whole webites and pages dedicated to the ocm. some love it and some dont. i love it. but i don't break out.

It can't be any worse than it already is! Trust me!

I started the ocm with EV olive oil and some castor oil. Works really well. I got to the bottom of the mix I'd made, so now I've just ordered some jojoba oil, and will make a jojoba and castor oil mix when that arrives. I'm really looking forward to it!

My skin felt great when using the oil method. Much nicer than when using traditional cleansers!

I use castor oil (try the small independent pharmacys such as Lloyds) and a mixture of sunflower and light olive oil. Since doing OCM I have moved on slightly and now use the mixture to moisturise morning and night and don't often do the steaming thing as I found it made my skin very sore eventually. Now I shower and then rub in the oil onto wet skin as it absorbs better and more effectively.

Skin is never better. :T

I'm beginning to think that it is just chemists in Scotland that don't stock Castor oil :mad:
Boots and Lloyds both don't stock it and there is not independant chemists in the area. Just going to try with jojoba oil. If I can find it anywhere then thats a bonus!

Not being cheeky but are you actually asking the pharmacy department?

You can ask Boot pharmacy to order you a bottle, they should get it in for you in 48 hours as they do stock it - maybe not in yours but in others

Yes I'm asking. Asked in Lloyds - they told me that they don't stock it and none of there other stores do (that they know of), asked in Boots pharmacy when I was picking up my dads prescription and they said they didn't stock it. Didn't give me the option to order it in.
