Evening primrose oil shows mild benefits
We investigated the role of evening primrose oil in improving skin conditions for acne patients undergoing isotretinoin therapy. In a controlled study, participants were monitored over nine months to assess changes in skin hydration, oiliness, and body weight.
While evening primrose oil helped boost skin hydration, it didn't significantly outperform isotretinoin alone in other areas like oiliness or weight loss. This suggests that evening primrose oil may provide some benefits, but it doesn't drastically change the overall treatment outcome for acne patients on isotretinoin.

Hormonal control

I’m quite certain this product keeps my hormonal acne at bay. Some might view it as a placebo, but my face hasn’t broken out during the last three periods, whereas I always had breakouts on my jawline before using evening primrose oil. I’ll continue purchasing it!

Helps hormonal acne
8 people found this helpful
This brand is the best Evening Primrose Oil for me. I have a hormonal imbalance, and this supplement significantly aids when hormonal acne flares up. It has also greatly alleviated my PMS, which used to be terrible. I’ve tried other brands, including some quite pricey ones, but unfortunately, they weren't effective for me. Although this is no longer available locally, I'm pleased to have found iHerb and willing to pay for shipping to stock up on this EPO!
