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.

Improved skin condition
132 people found this helpful
My breasts have grown! I took one capsule daily for two months, and I noticed significant changes: my periods were painless, my cycle stabilised at 30 days, and my skin improved markedly with fewer acne outbreaks. Additionally, my breasts became firmer and no longer hurt during PMS. I highly recommend this supplement, as it fulfilled the manufacturer’s promises!

Fewer acne issues

I ordered this on a recommendation, not specifically for evening primrose oil. After a week of taking one capsule daily with omega-3 and D3, I noticed fewer acne on my forehead and slight breast growth. I’ll continue for two months, aiming for better skin.

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.
