Skin Health

The role of Evening Primrose Oil and skin health was first explored by Efamol’s founder David Horrobin over 40 years ago. Since then, we have conducted many scientific trials – many of them double blind placebo controlled into it’s effectiveness. There have been at least 22 clinical studies using EPO to treat atopic ezcema. A 1989 meta-analysis of 10 studies reported an overall improvement of 22% with a 25% improvement in the most uncomfortable symptom, which is itch. In 2006 a meta-analysis of 26 clinical studies including over 1200 patients confirmed its effectiveness for atopic eczema, showing it simultaneously improved itch, crusting, swelling and redness within 4 and 8 weeks after treatment is initiated. In 2009, topically applied Efamol Evening Primroise Oil was found to work as well as the leading brand of treatment for diaper or nappy rash.
