I have used the oil cleansing method for months now and I love it. I used to have really oily skin, but now not much at all. It's not all gone, but so much better than it used to be. I put lavender and tea tree essential oils in it. I also was having a problem with a little bit of itching and flakies especially around my hairline, forehead and nose. Even that is practically gone. Just a rare flare up now and then, not lasting very long.
