Blemishes and the dark pigmented/ acne scars that follows them can be very frustrating and difficult to fade. You would be surprised to learn that the best  ingredient to treat these post-blemish acne discolorations is – Black Castor oil!  

Black Castor oil is cold-pressed from the Castor (Ricinus communis) beans and has a very thick consistency. Since it’s very dense, the oil is always blended with other lightweight oils to enable it to travel through the pores and work at its full strength. Here at PVO we use Castor Oil as a key ingredient in our hydrators/toners for better absorption of other vital active ingredients into the dermis. 

The oil is not only antibacterial in action due to the presence of the active phytochemical ‘ricinoleic acid’ that helps in treating acne, but is also incredibly moisturizing because of high levels of omega fatty acids and Vitamin E. This is why Black Castor Oil also combats signs of aging by restructuring the collagen-elastin-hyaluronic acid matrix that constitutes the basic building block of the collagen net holding up your skin. 

If you have under eye dark circles or puffy eyes bags, Castor oil will boost circulation and reduce swelling. Caster also soothes sunburn and calms the redness associated with acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea and other  inflammatory skin conditions.
