# Castor oil Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/castor-oil The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for the Netherlands. Topical castor oil visibly softens fine lines, firms skin laxity, brightens under-eye darkness, calms redness, and supports gentle cleansing and steady wound repair. It suits dry skin and oily skin particularly well when applied in lightweight [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/serum). Because it layers easily, the oil fits smoothly into any daily skincare routine.

Castor oil helps reduce melanin levels, wrinkles, skin laxity, and under-eye darkness when applied topically twice daily. It may also aid in wound healing by reducing edema, scabbing, and erythema while improving skin epithelialization. [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37927123/) ### How do you use castor oil? Castor oil cream helps reduce infraorbital hyperpigmentation when applied twice daily for two months. It may also be used in ointments combined with balsam of Peru and trypsin to support skin wound healing. [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37927123/) ### Should you use castor oil in the morning or at night? You can use castor oil twice daily, as applying a castor oil cream in the morning and at night helps significantly reduce melanin levels, wrinkles, and skin laxity. [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37927123/) ### Can you use castor oil every day? Yes, you can use castor oil twice daily as it helps reduce melanin levels, wrinkles, and skin laxity over two months. Topical application is safe and effective when used regularly as studied. [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37927123/) ### Does castor oil cause purging or irritation? Castor oil is unlikely to cause irritation when used in topical treatments, and hydrogenated castor oil beads have been shown to provide non-irritating cleaning. [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37927123/) [The British Journal of Dermatology, 2010](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19995365/) ### Which skin types is castor oil best for?
