Nowadays people like to focus on the importance of the almighty omega-3 fatty acids, but oft-forgotten are omega-6 fatty acids, which are what evening primrose oil provides as a natural highly concentrated source of GLA (gamma-linolenic acid). These essential fatty acids are required, but are not produced by the human body. Moreover, evening primrose oil is anti-inflammatory in nature. This makes EPO a great acne treatment. Evening primrose oil can be taken orally in gel capsule form (like these here) or applied topically as a moisturizing oil, and there are no known adverse side effects.
As weird as it may sound if you are not familiar with the idea, using oil as a moisturizer works very well for dry, oily, acne-prone skin, or any type of skin for that matter. Your skin produces sebum and oil in an attempt to moisturize itself and correct imbalances, so using oil as a moisturizer tells your skin that it is already hydrated and doesn't need to produce any more oil, thus your skin actually becomes less oily throughout the day. I like to use 2 drops of evening primrose oil combined with 2 drops of almond oil topically as a morning moisturizer. Both of these have anti-inflammatory properties and are quickly and easily absorbed into the skin, so your face does not feel or look oily or shiny. At night before bed, I do the same thing combined with an additional 2 drops of tea tree oil and 2 drops of sea buckthorn oil. If you already use a "regular" facial moisturizer, you can easily just add a couple drops of evening primrose oil and mix it in your palm.
These EPO softgels from NOW Foods provide a 'megadose' of evening primrose oil. I take one daily, along with using topical EPO as a moisturizer as mentioned above, and my skin looks and feels great.
Update: I’m not going to change the rating just yet because I just started taking this again. I am taking it again because several things have occurred to me since I stopped taking it. 1. I had a period start early (4 days) just recently and I have not taken this for a couple months, so I think it’s just the peri and not the EPO. 2. Right around when I stopped taking it, I felt like my skin was looking super good....I had just had a bout of food poisoning so I actually thought my skin looked great because I had been through a major “purge.” Lol. Now I’m thinking it was actually the epo! 3. I’ve suffered with foot issues for years now - plantar, nerves, bone spur (I’m so lucky), but again, right around when I stopped taking this, I had been marveling at how good my feet had been feeling (I was even able to walk on a tile floor in bare feet with zero pain!). Didn’t make the connection at the time, I thought it was another supplement I was taking. Now I think it was the epo! 4. I had ZERO breast pain prior to the very early period popping up out of nowhere. Again, pretty sure it was the epo. Since stopping the epo, pretty bad pms breast soreness. These are all things I’ve read about in others reviews as being vastly improved with epo, so I am giving it another shot and am pretty excited. I’m glad I didn’t throw the bottle out! Stay tuned.
Well, I don’t really know what to say about this! Lol. My period just started 5 days early (this has never happened in my life), and I can only chalk it up to this. As well, I don’t know if it’s helping with anything at all, really. I do feel like I’ve suddenly noticed a lot more hair loss lately and am wondering if this could be contributing? Anyway, I don’t recommend it.
