Why you can trust SCMP

Evening primrose oil comes from a wild yellow flower and is used to treat skin disorders such as eczema and acne because it has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It's also rich in fatty acids and blended into many anti-ageing products. Native Americans used the plant to make an infusion for healing wounds. Now the oil is mostly used for its moisturising and emollient properties.
