OCM and Castor Oil

For four days I used only castor oil on my face. I noticed some things immediately, while others took time.
Immediately I noticed how thick castor oil is. This makes it a little more difficult to both spread on the face and to remove. It was a champ at removing my makeup, but on its own it did little else.
Castor oil is known for its ability to clean out your pores. However, it is also known to be very drying to the skin. I have oily skin, so castor oil seems like the perfect base. I know in the long run I will need to "cut it" with other oil, but for now, I simply wanted to see what it would do for me on its own.
Within the first couple of days, I noticed increased redness after washing (when compared to my previous oil blend). Some blemishes began to dry out by day 2, which seemed like a nice bonus! Until day 3, when new, deep, under the skin blemishes began to emerge. By day 4, the small little bumps on my cheek were back. I decided at this point to scrap the "just castor oil" phase of this experiment and begin adding new oils. Next up: a castor/olive oil blend.
