Researchers from Labatoire in France studied the effects of 2.2 grams of either flax or borage oil on a group of healthy women ranging in age from 18-65. Women taking borage oil for several weeks were found to experience 35% less skin reddening than at the onset of the study, while those taking the same equivalent in flax oil experienced a 45% decrease. Both groups received lessened blood flow to the area in response to irritation. After six weeks the groups experienced a 10% decrease in water loss through the skin and decreased in skin roughness and scaling after 12 weeks.
