What the published studies found
Early evidence · 2 studies
Aging/Wrinkles
One quasi-experimental trial used sweet almond oil only as a carrier oil in a lavender/chamomile/sandalwood aromatherapy blend for pruritus and stress relief in elderly women, not isolating sweet almond oil's effects or targeting wrinkles specifically; the second study is an analytical chemistry paper on oxidative stability, not a clinical study on skin aging.

Dry Skin
One quasi-experimental trial used sweet almond oil as a carrier for essential oils in an aromatherapy massage that improved pruritus and stress in elderly women, but did not isolate sweet almond oil's independent effect on dry skin; a traditional Persian medicine review cites historical use of sweet almond oil to prevent infant dry skin without controlled clinical validation.

Stretch Marks
One RCT found sweet almond oil reduced itching/erythema and helped limit striae spread but had no significant effect on striae diameter or number compared to base cream; a subsequent systematic review of RCTs concluded sweet almond oil was NOT effective for preventing striae gravidarum, unlike coconut oil.

Eczema
A single study evaluated an over-the-counter hand cream containing 7% sweet almond oil plus 2% colloidal oatmeal for hand dermatitis (a form of eczema), finding it safe and effective; however, this is a combination product, not sweet almond oil alone, limiting attribution of effect specifically to the oil.

Headache/Migraine
The single identified study is a gas chromatography analysis of fatty acid composition in Almond-Violet oil, a traditional Persian medicine formula historically used for headache, insomnia, cough, and fever; it provides no clinical data on efficacy for headache/migraine.

Early evidence · 1 study
Psoriasis
The single relevant study evaluated an OTC hand cream containing 7% sweet almond oil plus colloidal oatmeal for hand dermatitis (not psoriasis specifically), with psoriasis only mentioned in passing as a condition sweet almond oil has traditionally been used for; no clinical trial directly tested sweet almond oil for psoriasis.

Early evidence · 1 study
Rash/Contact Dermatitis
Only one narrative review was found discussing sweet almond oil's general skin care benefits (dry skin, atopic dermatitis) with no dedicated clinical trials on rash or contact dermatitis specifically; evidence is largely anecdotal/traditional with formulation-focused commentary rather than controlled trial data.

Under-Eye Dark Circles
No PubMed-indexed studies were found evaluating Sweet Almond oil specifically for under-eye dark circles; any use for this purpose is based on traditional/anecdotal practice rather than clinical research.
