1. Castor Oil cures acne
The ricinoleic acid in castor oil works to inhibit many viruses and bacteria, and as castor oil is able to penetrate skin tissue deeply, this makes it an effective treatment for acne.
To treat acne, dab a hot damp washcloth all over your face in the evening before you go to bed. The heat will gently open the pores on your face. After this, massage a little castor oil gently into the skin. Leave on overnight. Repeat this daily for 1 to 2 weeks to see results. You can also repeat this twice in the day, once at night and once in the morning.
2. Castor Oil keeps the skin looking smooth, youthful and unlined
Castor oil’s ability to penetrate more deeply than any other essential plant oil make it an excellent way to keep skin looking youthful and fresh. Castor oil works better than any store-bought anti-ageing creams.
One of the best and easiest ways to use castor oil is to rub in a small amount around your eyes before bed, washing it off the next morning.
You can also rub in castor oil all over your face, but as it’s extremely thick and sticky, use sparingly. A little goes a long way! You can rinse this off after 2-3 hours, but you can always keep it on for longer if you feel comfortable. This type of all-over application might feel more uncomfortable in hotter and more humid climates. Thus, cooler days/nights or fall/winter may be better for castor oil mask applications.
Done daily, this will keep wrinkles at bay and the skin looking fresh, youthful and supple. With consistent use over a few months, this can also help to fade old dark marks left over from pimples/spots.
Note: If you intend to use castor oil intensively (24 hours/day over many consecutive days without significant breaks), you may encounter some temporary “looseness” in the area of application. This looseness/wrinkling effect is temporary, and the skin will tighten back up again in 1-2 weeks if you take a break from castor oil. However, you can avoid this risk by taking regular breaks. Read this comment for more information. This “looseness” should not happen when castor oil is used normally. To clarify, 24 hours/day over many consecutive days = NOT normal use!
| Be sure to use only cold-pressed (or cold-drawn) castor oil that is hexane-free. Any other kind could clog your pores.Another good reason to use cold-pressed castor oil instead of refined castor oil is that cold-pressed oils retain much more of their valuable nutrients. A study by a Turkish university showed that more than 95% of the free fatty acids and carotenoids, and up to 61% of the tocopherols were removed when an edible oil goes through the conventional refining process. Read this comment for more information. |
Castor oil is found in several anti-ageing creams, wrinkle creams and undereye creams.
 Reviva Labs Eye Complex Firming Cream |
 Burt’s Bees Radiance Day Creme (UPDATE: they’ve since removed castor oil) |
 Borba Advanced Aging Recovery Crème |

Castor oil and facial hair growth – fact versus fictionA few commenters (particularly this memorable one) have questioned me about the wisdom of using castor oil on the face given its ability to promote hair growth when used consistently over months. i.e. won’t this cause hair to sprout all over the face? This is a fair question and deserves a straight answer. ANSWER: No, castor oil will NOT turn you into a bearded lady or a wolfman!Yes, it’s true that long-term and consistent castor oil applications will promote hair growth. However, it cannot make hair appear on areas where hair does not naturally occur for you. I have used castor oil around my eyes every day for years now and I assure you, gentle reader, that I have NOT turned into a bearded lady. Castor oil use is ancient, and if it was able to create bearded ladies or wolfmen, the world would have heard about it by now through folk tales and old stories. Not to mention, the modern medical, pharmaceutical and scientific community would also have been all over this “miraculous” effect by now if it were true. (But as it is in politics and in life, fear mongers will do what fear mongers do. As I always say — when in doubt, use your head!) What hair growth REALLY means
What if you have had laser hair removal?Applied consistently over months, castor oil can cause hair to regrow after temporary and “permanent” hair removal — including laser hair removal, waxing or tweezing. For instance, after years of over-tweezing in my teen years, some parts of my naturally thick brows have become sparse. Regular castor oil use has filled in and thickened these sparse areas for me over time. However, if you were born with naturally sparse facial hair, castor oil use is unlikely to do much. Similarly, if you have “permanently” lost hair from a wound or an injury (like I did from a deep burn on my leg), castor oil will also eventually return hair growth to normal. If you do not want hair re-growth after laser hair removal, then avoid use over those areas. |
3. Castor Oil breaks up external and internal scar tissue, and prevents new scars from forming
Castor oil’s unrivaled deep tissue penetration help to soften and remove both external and internal scars, like those that form following surgery. I have personally removed a deep burn scar using castor oil (I also shared my before-and-after photos in that article).
Castor oil will penetrate deep into the tissues to slowly break up scar tissue. Amazingly, castor oil is able to distinguish between healthy cells and abnormal ones. In healthy cells, castor oil will detoxify and stimulate them, while increasing circulation. In abnormal cells like scar tissue and growths, castor oil will instead work to aggressively dissolve cells thanks to its solvent property.
To break down internal scarring, soak a piece of clean cloth with castor oil and place it over the scar area for an hour or two each day. You can also simply rub castor oil over the scar each day. More serious internal scarring will take longer to break down.
On another note, castor oil can also prevent scars from forming in the first place. Applying castor oil over cuts or scrapes will promote excellent skin healing.
Remarkably, applying castor oil after surgery, cuts or wounds will also minimize scar formation. This could be because of castor oil’s ability to increase our body’s lymphocytes (because of this, castor oil packs are especially useful for people with HIV or AIDS). Lymphocytes, or white blood cells, appear to regulate wound healing. And studies have shown that T lymphocytes may play an important role in wound healing and scar formation. Babies and young children have naturally higher levels of lymphocytes than teenagers and adults, which could be one of the reasons why our skin healed with much less scarring when we were younger.
Several commercial scar reduction creams also contain castor oil (eg Scar Zone, Scar Repairex). However, they also contain more chemicals than they do castor oil!

4. Castor Oil soothes shingles
One commenter, Denise, talked about how castor oil seem to be the only thing helping soothe the pain from her shingles.
She wrote, “I have been applying castor oil on my shingles. So far it has soothed them and softened the whole horrible thing. I am going to keep using it as Ive tried everything and its the only thing that seems to be working better than all.”
Shingles are a type of viral infection and as castor oil has been proven to boost the body’s lymphocytes, it could be why castor oil applications appear to be helpful for anyone with weakened immune systems. For more on this, read how topical castor oil applications boost the immune system.
5. Castor Oil thickens eyelashes and eyebrows
Rub a little castor oil over the base of your eyelashes before bed. This prevents thinning and promotes rapid growth, leading to thicker and fuller lashes. In fact, many commercial products for eyelashes contain castor oil.
To thicken sparse eyebrows, rub a little castor oil over the brow line before bed.
6. Castor Oil prevents hair loss and regenerates hair
The anti-bacterial and anti-fungicidal properties of ricinoleic acid in castor oil protects the scalp and hair from infections that can cause hair loss. The omega-9 fatty acids in castor oil also nourish the hair and prevent the scalp from drying.
Rubbing castor oil on your scalp and the roots of your hair will regenerate new hair growth within months. This will also thicken thinning hair.

To treat baldness, it is also a good idea to look at improving your overall diet and seek to maintain healthier mental/emotional states at the same time. Otherwise, baldness may simply recur after castor oil treatments. Many things can lead to baldness, but one of the most common causes is magnesium deficiency, which is rampant in modern society. Even if we have a healthy diet, sustained fear/stress/anxiety will deplete our bodies’ magnesium stores. Drinking coffee, alcohol, smoking or excessive exercise will also do this. Thus, eating foods that are high in magnesium (such as dark green vegetables or certain nuts/seeds), supplementation with magnesium chloride/magnesium citrate, or transdermal magnesium therapy can help greatly. Magnesium also has a wonderful calming and relaxing effect, which will be especially useful if stress is your issue (read my original comment about this). |
For a deep healing treatment, rub castor oil into your scalp and leave it on overnight. You can wrap your hair up in a towel or a shower cap to keep the oil on your scalp and away from your bed linen (castor oil stains are almost impossible to remove).
For a lighter treatment during the day, rub a very small amount of castor oil into your scalp or hair (whichever you feel needs help). Castor oil is very thick and viscous, so a little goes a long way. You can either wash this off at the end of every day, or leave it in if you feel comfortable (to maintain your regular schedule of hair washing, whatever that may be).
However, if you have fine or weak/brittle hair, it’s a good idea to mix castor oil with a lighter oil so that it’ll be easier to wash out later (baking soda will also help remove castor oil, but it can be temporarily drying).
Some have reported good results from mixing castor oil with coconut oil or olive oil. Coconut oil is especially good for restoring damaged and weak hair because of it’s high nutrient content.
nautress wrote, “I mix virgin coconut oil and castor oil together and they do wonders to my hair. I mix 1 ounce castor oil and 2 ounces of virgin coconut oil. I oil little all over my scalp and massage it in, which later comes down the shaft of the hair, and oh my goodness, softness.”
Anonymous wrote, “I find that castor works!!!! I am going through menopause and my hair was falling out something awful. I recall reading in a beauty book long time ago when i was a teenager about castor oil making your hair grow. Well it is true.i can’t stress enough how it rescued me, i once had a woman to ask me did i have on a lace wig and i received many compliments about my hair and lots of women ask me “if it is my hair”, even my own sister did a double take. My hair grew longer and thicker. Be careful not to apply too much, the oil is thick, but i swear by it. They also say olive oil does the same never used it but thinking about trying a lil mixture of both castor oil and olive oil. But i tell many of my african sisters about this especially when i see the damage extensive weaves have done,and around the edges where too-tight braids have thinned the hair. I swear by this product and will use nothing else.!!!!!!!!!”
bb wrote, “I can verify that castor oil works for lengthening and thickening hair… it does not need to be rinsed out. If you wash hair regularly (for me that is 3x/week) and apply small amounts of castor oil to the ends, leaving it in, it does wonders for keeping the hair protected and moist so that it can grow and not break… ”
Retta wrote, “…I have started using the castor oil in my hair, (via internet reviews :youtube etc.). I don’t use the Jamaican black castor oil. But I use a grocery store brand, I paid $3.00 for a relatively small bottle. Any way, it was very thick and seemed somewhat sticky; I mixed mine with some tea tree oil, rosemary oil. I have been using it now for two weeks, 3 times per week. Some complain of build up, I don’t have that problem at all, my problem is my hair soaks it up!!! I mean, it has helped my hair a great deal. In two weeks I have noticed a remarkable difference in my hair, and its texture, it is so soft, it also feels thicker. My only regret is I wish I would have known about castor oil when I was a teenager, I would have better hair this very day…”
rbooh wrote, “Thank goodness I found castor oil!
I moved to a new city and my hair was not adjusting so I tried a few different things ( I do NOT recommend the “no-poo” method if your hair is color treated BTW ) and wound up breaking TONS of my waist length hair off. I was desperate to find something and I stumbled onto castor oil. After researching it I tried it as an overnight leave in and my hair just LOVED it; my hair was 75% better after just one use. I mixed a generous dollop into my hair conditioner and use that as well as a light leave-in application of straight castor oil on my damp hair.
I also did my own experiment using castor oil on my face. I used castor oil on one half and my regular lotion ($50.00 for a few oz) on the other half and in just one week I noticed a visible difference. The castor oil side was plump, smooth and blemish free, not to mention my luscious lashes.
Most amazing of all!! Castor oil totally, as in completely!! removed a WART from my chest. I can’t believe its gone since I’ve had the darn thing for 6 months and even 1% Retin A didn’t do a thing for it. I rubbed pure castor oil into the wart for 2 nights before bed and voila, GONE.
Perhaps not everyone needs the heavy oil and I read quite a few negative opinions about using it straight in your hair, but if you have really dry hair and skin, it truly is amazing. The odor is kind of odd and can take some getting used to. But I love that I can touch my face after touching my hair and not worry that my hair products will make my face break out.
I highly recommend castor oil to anyone, I even use it on my 9 year old sons eczema!”
7. Castor Oil keeps hair looking soft and shiny
Castor oil is a humectant as it draws moisture into the hair and skin. Applying castor oil on hair will keep it looking soft, shiny and strong.
8. Castor Oil softens thick calluses and removes corns
Castor oil application will soften any rough or thickened skin, including calluses and corns. To treat corns, apply castor oil over your feet and put cotton socks on before going to bed. (Incidentally, sleeping with castor oil socks on will also soothe painful heels and foot pain.)
9. Castor Oil cures skin infections like athlete’s foot and ringworm
Apply a castor oil soaked cloth on the affected area. If it is small enough, a bandaid with a few drops of castor oil can be used instead.
10. Castor Oil prevents stretch marks
Rub a small amount of castor oil over your stomach and thighs daily to prevent stretchmarks during pregnancy or periods of weight gain.
11. Castor Oil will remove moles and warts (apply heat for faster results)
Rub castor oil into moles or warts every night. The moles (or warts) will start to shrink over a few weeks, and continued use will eventually remove the mole without any scarring. Complete removal may take 2-3 months, but this slow healing will also ensure there is no “hole” in your skin. (The surgical removal of moles will often leave a hole where the mole was. This indentation can often be permanent.)
Diana kindly shared a useful tip she discovered. She wrote, “I used castor oil on moles, but I think the secret is to use heat with it. For instance, keep a hot, wet towel on the mole for a minute, and then apply castor oil, and then reapply the hot towel, for another minute. Do that for about 10 minutes, 2 or 3 times every day. I did this and I started to see results in 4 days.”
12. Castor Oil will remove age spots (liver spots)
Rub castor oil into your age spots every night. The age spot will lighten over time, and continued use will eventually remove the age spot completely.
Tip: Remove castor oil residue with baking soda
Castor oil is thick and viscous, but it can be washed out with regular soap and a good lather. However, if you find it more difficult than usual to wash castor oil out of your hair or skin, try mixing in some baking soda and water. Baking soda can cause some temporary dryness, but is very effective in removing all traces of castor oil.
Where to buy castor oil
Castor oil can be found in most good health food stores. Check the label to make sure it’s cold-pressed (or cold-drawn) and hexane-free. This is especially important if you plan to put castor oil on your face, around or in your eyes, or if you plan to ingest it for internal cleansing.
Some supermarkets or pharmacies may also sell castor oil in small bottles in the laxatives section/shelf. Again, check the labels.
You can also find castor oil in shops that cater to Indian communities. If you have a ‘Little India’ in your town or city, you can probably find it there as castor oil is a popular hair tonic among Indians. However, the downside is that these mom-and-pop stores are unlikely to sell castor oil that’s labeled cold-pressed or hexane-free.
If you prefer to buy castor oil online, several websites sell bottles in a variety of sizes. I buy mine from iherb.com (I found the shipping to be reasonable even for the largest, heaviest bottles. There’s a discount code at the top-right of this page if you’re interested). Other websites that sell castor oil include Vitacost and Amazon.
Hy Samantha,i want to use castor oil for hair growth.there are no much instructions on the bottle.If i apply it on my hair,do i have to wash it the day after or its okay to keep it for a while.
Hi MimZ, it’s really a personal preference. It’s ok to keep castor oil on overnight. There’s suggestions on how you can use it in the article above, but you can always find another method that works/feels best for you.
Thank you
Hi, I use a mixture of Castor Oil on me and my daughters hair about 3x’s a week in which we both have cornrows in our hair, so i just put it on our scalp, and we havnt had any problems so far. I only wash every Saturday, but since i have cornrows in my hair I havent washed at all this week, I guess it depends on your hair. If it feels dirty then wash it, but to answer the question No you dont really have to wash it out the next day..Hope this helps!!!
Thanks Tenisha, that’s good to know.
thank you samantha..:D
is cold pressed and cold drawn castor oil the same thing
and does it help in minimizing large open pores
Hi ridwaan, yes, cold drawn is the same as cold pressed. I don’t know if castor oil can minimise large pores, but it shouldn’t hurt to try if you’ve already tried everything else.
Hi Samantha,
I”ve been using Home Health Castor Oil for a month now, but I’m not sure if it’s helping or worsening my fine lines around my cheekbones/ nose area. The fine lines are not really that noticeable to begin with, but I just don’t like that it’s still there. Sometimes when I apply Castor Oil to my face, the corners of my nose where the fines are with my cheekbones sometimes have a slight reddish irritation. It does go away eventually, but I’m not sure if the Castor oil is helping my skin. I also think my fines lines are slightly more visible than a month ago, but I might wrong though( I wish I took a before and after picture).
What’s the actual proper way of applying Castor Oil on my face? I’m thinking I’m putting too much.
How does Castor oil compares to Cocunut, Olive, and other products for fine lines?
Lastly, what is your e-mail address, so I can provide even more info to you?
Thanks
I also have pics to show what I’m talking about
Hi King C, if you’re getting irritation, you might want to stop using castor oil. Castor oil boosts skin circulation so redness can sometimes happen, but it shouldn’t irritate the skin, so something might be wrong in your case. I can’t explain why you would have this reaction as it’s always been gentle for me. Maybe it’s a detox reaction. Have you used any creams that contain steroids/mercury or some other toxic chemical on those reddened areas before? If yes, castor oil might be causing a “purge”. If not, it could be an allergic reaction.
Likewise, if you think your lines have gotten worse, then use your own good judgement and stop – or at least take a break and see what happens.
Having said all that, a month is a very short time to expect results, especially in the case of facial lines. It likely took years for your face to form those lines, so you can’t expect them to disappear in 1 month.
I don’t know if there’s a “proper” way to put it on. I use my fingers to rub in castor oil into my skin in a slow, circular motion. I spend a bit of time doing this to increase its absorption. I use only a little bit since it’s such a heavy oil. A little goes a looooong way.
I haven’t tried coconut oil or EVOO on my skin for a long enough period of time to tell you much. They’re both nutrient-rich and are beneficial for the skin. Coconut oil is especially good to apply on reddened, irritated skin. I’ve found it makes redness go down very quickly.
p.s: Feel free to send me an e-mail at sam [at] skinverse [dot] com. Sorry to write it that way, I need to thwart the spambots!
I tried e-mailing you, but I received a message saying that “Delivery Status Notification (Failure)?”
Sorry about that, my inbox was full. It should work now.
Is it okay to have to keep the oil on your face 24/7 or do I have to keep the oil on my face ir set amount of time, perhaps 2-4 hours?
This reply might help you. I’ve also updated the article with more details now.
Thanks for the reply, Samantha,
I’m going to try the oil for 2-3 hours now, but is it safe to use the oil 24/7 on my face? I usually just wash the oil off my face in the morning and reapply more castor oil the next morning. I’m hoping I’m not overusing the oil, and sometimes I would apply the oil in the morning, at noon, and at night.
I really like this site. I just ordered some Turmeric Powder to lighten up some acne marks, and some hyperpigmentation and I’ve would have never learned that if it wasn’t for this site
Thank you for your kind words, I’m always happy to hear that this site is helpful for people.
And yes, it’s safe to reapply throughout the day, I do this also sometimes when I’m feeling industrious during the weekends. The only caution I have for you is to avoid doing this for several consecutive days without a break.
This is because when I was applying/re-applying castor oil on my scar for almost 24 hours/day over many consecutive days, it caused some temporary looseness/wrinkling in the area. My loose skin tightened up beautifully after I took a break from castor oil, but if you encounter this same “looseness” on your face as I did on my leg, it might cause you some distress or unnecessary worry (even if it is temporary, the wrinkling can be quite obvious and may take 1-2 weeks to tighten up).
Having said that — this might not happen to you because facial skin is a bit different from the skin on our bodies, but still, it’s good to know just in case. Best of luck, King C!
It’s funny that you mention that because I did noticed that the left side of my face was a little more wrinkly then before, but I was not sure if I was being too paranoid. I only keep reapplying the castor Oil because I thought it would be more beneficial to keep using to oil as a daily moisturizer to prevent new wrinkles, but I now may be wrong. Should I take a break with the Castor Oil? I may now just use the Castor Oil overnight for my face and wash it off in the morning instead of keeping it on 24/7.
Thanks
Oh, then I’m really glad I thought to mention it!
I’ve also updated the article in case anyone else encounters the same thing.
Yes, I think a break would be beneficial for you now. When I took my breaks, they were complete ones (no castor oil at all), so I’m interested to hear if your “partial” break works just as well too. It’d be great if you can give an update later on.
I would be glad to update you on my progress. I’m not going to use any Castor Oil for at least 2-4 weeks, since my face feels a little loose, particularity the right cheek of my face, and my fine line on my left side of my check is a little more noticeable after using the Castor oil. I’m praying my skin goes back to the way before applying the Castor oil 24/7.
In the main time, what can I use as a moisturizer for my face?
I’m ordering some organic Coconut Oil and maybe some Extra Virgin Olive Oil, but I’m not sure if it going to cause in a irritation like the Castor Oil.
Lastly, should I put nothing on my face until my face goes back to normal? I have some Turmeric powder , and the other two oil that I mentioned above on the way from Amazon.com, but I don’t want to hamper the progress of my face.
Thanks
Thanks King C. I’d advise you to stay away from any topicals, moisturizers and oils while you take a break from castor oil. I don’t know why the looseness happens exactly, but my theory is that it’s the result of extreme skin hydration. If that’s true, introducing more moisture at this point might hinder your skin’s tightening.
Hi Samantha,
I sent you an important e-mail to to your address
Hye. . Am from kerala, india. And am suffering from thinening of hair. I have short straight hair. I just wanted to know if i can use ordinary castor oil which i get in ordinary medical shops? I searched for cold processed castor oil in every outlet but it is not available anywhere. So if i use ordinary castor oil will it do any good in thinnening hair? I also suffer from severe hair fall.
Hi Stanly, you can give it a try and see if it works for you. To be safe, just avoid putting it near your eyes or ingesting it.
Thanks samantha. Can you tell me any remedies to increase the thickness of my hair? I have tried many oils like neelabringadi (ayurvedic hair oil) and castor oil too but all in vain. I dont see any increase in thickness. After using castor oil i felt like my hair fall increased so i stopped using it. But neelabringadi reduced my hair fall but did not see any result in thickening.
Hi Stanly, this older reply might help you.
today i bought a small bottle of castor oil. i read this article above and wanna going to experiment it.. i have thick balck hairs. but now a days m facing hair falling problem a lot from last few years. so should i use it twice a week or thrice a week. one of my colleages hair is very thin and rough. so how many times she should use it in week.
You can use it as many times as you feel comfortable. There’s no danger in overuse or underuse.
To day i came to know about castor oil.I have melasma problem since 7yrs ago.Now i am going to use castor oil on my face. I had lots of medicines but there is no benefit it.Now i got my answer.thankyou may god bls u all who are writing here.

Samantha, did you rinse castor oil off after applying it to your face (other than the eyebrows)? Just wondering. Thanks.
Hi Kyle, when I apply castor oil all over my face, I’d rinse it off after 2-3 hours. But you can always keep it on for longer if you feel comfortable. It depends on your skin and climate possibly. I know when it’s humid out, it becomes especially uncomfortable for me. Cooler days/nights are better for this IMO.
When I only apply it around my eyes like I do before bed, it stays on all night until I wash it off the next morning. Hope that helps!.
Thanks, that should help!
hey um im 10 yrs old and i have a few moles on my face but they are VERY small. Should I use castor oil? Oh and how long will it take to go away???? And the email is my moms.
Hi izzy – the success of mole removal using castor oil seems to depend on the person. So I can’t say it’ll work for you. If you give it a try, you should use it for a few months at least.
First and for most I would like to thank you for providing all this information. It has been veeery helpful in many ways!!!
I do want to know, how long after applying it for growth hair (hair, eyebrow,eyelashes) will it take to be noticed? Mainly on eyebrows since the above information doesn’t really specifies time frame, it just says “very rapidly or fast”. As for hair, does this make your hair oily or is it just something people assume because its castor “oil”? Also for acne, I know you said it works and smooths your skin, but what about blemishes and marks that where left on face from acne… does it work for that as well?
Sorry for the tons of questions asked :p but i certainly like to know before buying something that I will put on my face or hair
Either way, thank you for providing the information and taking the time for responding…
Hope to hear form you soon!
Hi Sandy,
1) It took me roughly 2-3 months to notice thicker eyebrows and lashes.
2) Yes, castor oil is a very thick and heavy oil – it makes hair oily.
3) I believe it can remove blemishes, but it’s not a quick fix (can take several months for old scars). Also, I find that rubbing it over new spots speeds up healing and prevents them from scarring.
Hope that helps you
Hi,
Can I use castor oil as moisteriser on eye, face & neck daily. Will castor oil increase facial hair?. Is it safe for long term usage?
Thanks
I believe the answers to your questions are already in the article (??).
