3. Improve Eczema?

Some countries other than the United States have approved using evening primrose oil to treat atopic dermatitis, also known as eczema.

Older studies indicate that the GLA in evening primrose oil fights the inflammation responsible for eczema, while also promoting moisture retention to fight dry skin. However, modern systematic reviews have concluded that oral supplements of evening primrose oil do not improve eczema symptoms. Little research exists on the topical use of evening primrose oil for treating atopic dermatitis.
