I know I have KPRF because it matches the description of what people talk about on these and other boards. I have been visiting these boards for years and read hundreds of posts. No a dermatologist never diagnosed me. Dermatologists don't know what KPRF is.

Re: Evening Primrose Oil diminished my KPRF

dermatoligits know what KPRF is, they just basiclly call it KP on the face along with inflammation! they know what KP is too.

u cant assume u have a condtion unless ur diagnosed, its better to be diagnosed to be sure. u might not even have KPRF, u might just be a flusher/blusher, u might have high blood pressure. have u ever thought of that!

I have seen a few dermatologists in London who don't know what KPRF is.

Re: Evening Primrose Oil diminished my KPRF

I took one capsule a day when I took it every day. Before that, when I was taking the Ultimate Beauty Oil, I was taking 3 teaspoons a day.

Arrow Re: Evening Primrose Oil diminished my KPRF

i've been looking at my local health store and came across these:

Starflower Oil
Hemp Seed Oil
Evening Primrose Oil
Grapeseed Extract
Green Tea Extract

Has anyone had any experience with these.
Also i'm interested to know how Evening Primrose helps.

Re: Evening Primrose Oil diminished my KPRF

Hemp seed oil is in the Ultimate Beauty Oil. But I have not tried it individually so I don't know how effective it is. I don't have experience with the other oils you mentioned.

Wikipedia says that Evening Primrose Oil has anti inflammatory properties. Also the GLA it provides are anti-inflammatory. (gamma-Linolenic acid <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma-Linolenic_acid>)

In other words, my guess is that it keeps the skin from getting inflamed, and so not as red. Like I said, I think it also causes erectile difficulty, which also is like a form of inflammation.

Yes your right about Hemp Seed Oil, it's the ultimate in beauty.
It contains Omega 3-6-9
Ant-Inflammatory Properties
Rich IN GLA's.

I spoke to a few Health Stores and they say Hemp Seed is like Evening Primrose only better.

Re: Evening Primrose Oil diminished my KPRF

Hmm, maybe I will try it for a few weeks. Hemp seed oil is pretty cheap too.
