50 patients with atopic dermatitis were recruited for a 2008 study and given evening primrose oil or a placebo over a 5 month period. At the end of the trial, 24 of the 25 patients in the evening primrose oil group showed improvement in eczema symptom relief. A smaller study from 1987 found evening primrose oil to reduce inflammation in eczema patients.
