    3 Stars Starflower sounds better than Borage! 01/04/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Reasonable price, great number of uses

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Didn't work for me on dry skin

    Starflower oil- what a pretty name! I was never certain exactly what this was for and as with most things only tried this as it was recommended by a friend. I also have to say that I am horrendous at taking vitamin supplements as I always forget to take them everyday but I was determined to try this one out properly! I decided to try Boots own to save myself a little bit of money just in case I didn’t like them. You get 60 capsules for £7.99 which is 13.3p per capsule so not too bad at all!

    5 Stars Try Tesco or Asda Starflower Oil instead 27/03/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Much cheaper than boots, ingredients are identical

I am using the Tesco ones at the moment and they are definately working for the ... more

    5 Stars Quick review of Boots Starflower Oil by nicolaajones 15/05/2008
    I suffered with pre period breast pain, and pmt - I took starflower oil for about 2 months, after the 2nd month I noticed that I wasn't getting my usual symptoms, breast pain, mood swings and bloating! I carried on taking it, and it helped the joint pains that I get on occasion and the dry skin, but that took a bit longer. My advice, stick with it - its worth it!!
