Castor oil from acne
Castor oil contains ricinoleic acid. It is a natural safe antibiotic that intensively affects bacteria that cause the appearance of acne. In addition, this product produces a cleansing effect and contributes to the normalization of the sebaceous glands. This prevents the formation of comedones and subcutaneous inflammation.
