Omega-3 skin cream shows promise for eczema relief in small study

This early study tested whether a daily omega-3 serum and cream could ease eczema symptoms and change the balance of bacteria on the skin. Seven adults with eczema applied the products for six weeks and reported their symptom severity using a questionnaire. The study also checked for side effects and measured four types of skin bacteria. Because the study was very small and exploratory, results are limited and more research is needed.
