“Since taking Black Currant Seed Oil, my period has been more regular and no longer feel crampy!”

I saw visible improvements

Due to hormonal imbalance, I would have acne growing at the same spots on my left and right cheeks. I started taking Black Currant Seed Oil, 2 softgels a day and noticed that the frequency of the acne recurrence dropped. The last time it appeared was 2 months ago, and has not returned since. Personally, within 6 months of regular use, I saw visible improvements and felt its effects.
