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.

PMS symptom relief
Excellent! I take one capsule daily after breakfast for my acne, and I've experienced no PMS symptoms, less emotional fluctuation, and much reduced pain during periods. I've ordered a second bottle, hoping for further skin improvements.

Increased libido
The evening primrose oil began working within a week. After struggling with endometriosis and hormonal issues, I switched to this and found my skin improved, and I want sex again! My breasts are no longer painful, and I expect better results than with hormones.

Helps adult acne
Great for acne. I've been taking it for almost 3 weeks, and it has significantly helped with my adult hormonal acne. The pill is quite large, but it's gel-like, making it easy to swallow.

Proven acne solution
It works! I stopped taking multiple supplements as I felt they weren't effective. However, when I took evening primrose oil for hormonal acne, I noticed a positive difference. After a supplement purge, my acne returned, but I realised this oil is the most effective for me.

No effect on acne
Unfortunately, this product did not help at all. I wanted to assist my daughter, who has acne and scars, but despite positive reviews from others, it made no difference.
