FAQ

1. Can I use castor oil every night?
Yes—most people can use it nightly, especially when applied lightly. If your skin is sensitive or acne-prone, start with 2–3 nights per week.

2. Will castor oil clog pores?
Castor oil is low on the comedogenic scale, but because it’s thick, some individuals may experience congestion. Diluting it with a lighter oil helps prevent this.

3. Is castor oil safe for all skin types?
Generally, yes. Those with very oily or reactive skin should patch-test first.

4. Can I use castor oil around my eyes?
Yes, but apply very sparingly, as too much can migrate into the eyes and cause irritation.

5. How long before I see results?
Most people notice softer, more hydrated skin within a few days and more visible improvements in brightness or texture after 2–4 weeks of consistent use.
