Product Information

Our bodies do not naturally produce vitamin E, so our vitamin E consumption relies on our diet and other external sources.

Keeping skin well moisturised may help to prevent dry skin, and prevent symptoms such as itchiness. Any kind of oil safe for skin may offer these benefits. Eczema Dr. Brazzo says that the actual form of the treatment you choose isn’t that important (aside from choosing the right product for the right body part).Dry skin tends to look more wrinkled than well-moisturized skin. The moisturizing benefits of vitamin E oil may help the skin look more youthful and less wrinkled. and below: We don't recommend scar creams with this rating; you won't find any on our list.

Plus, sunscreen needs to be reapplied regularly (about every two hours), even if it’s a part of your moisturizer or makeup. For people who need their skin to be less dry and itchy, vitamin E seems to do a good job of that,” she says. Use a product that contains vitamin EAccording to board certified dermatologist Tsippora Shainhouse, MD, FAAD, moisturizers can benefit the skin in a few different ways. “A hydrating product draws moisture into the top layers of the skin,” she says.

While vitamin E may be most well-known for its moisturizing properties, it's foremost an antioxidant that guards and strengthens a weakened skin barrier, which seals essential water and electrolytes in and protects the skin against dehydration and external stressors. Vitamin E also plays an important role in relieving conditions like flakiness, peeling, roughness, and itchiness, and also lends a helping hand in improving the appearance of acne scars. Our experts’ go-to combination is vitamins E and C. Together, they may “not only help reduce the appearance of sun exposure, but can help prevent future photodamage,” says Hartman. (In other words, they can offer extra protection against the wrinkles and dark spots that may arise from sun damage.)

Vitamin E can be helpful as a moisturizer, making it a good option for people with dry skin, according to our experts. It can also be soothing on sunburned skin, and can fight dark spots and wrinkles when used alongside other antioxidants in a serum. Below, we compiled expert-recommended moisturizers, serums, and oils that are rich in vitamin E. All of the products pair the ingredient with other actives like vitamin C and ferulic acid, which our experts say can help stabilize it and amplify its efficacy. Malin + Goetz Vitamin E Face Moisturizer Using a moisturizer that contains vitamin E may produce a nice synergy to help the product work better at keeping the skin cells intact,” says Dr. Kassouf. “And it also prevents other substances from penetrating the skin and causing irritation.” You'll often find vitamin E paired with another skin-loving nutrient, vitamin C. The reason for that is because vitamin E "works synergistically with vitamin C to provide UVB protection," David Kim, MD, a board-certified dermatologist based in New York City, explains. While vitamin E alone can provide some level of protection against damage caused by free radicals, it's much more effective when combined with vitamin C, and a study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology further proves this point.

Using this gel was a bit like laying down a waterproof seal of plastic wrap on our scars, which is why we recommend the Cimeosil Scar and Laser Gel for nighttime use (i.e. when no one will be giving your scar the side-eye). But we can’t argue with its effectiveness—we used this treatment twice a day for the duration of testing, and by the time we were done, the large scar we were treating had more flesh tones and less reddish-purple tones in it. It also felt both flatter and more sensitized to the touch. Meanwhile, the small scar we treated had a significant reduction in both color and puffiness, flattening out and lightening more to our skin tone. We tested the Aroamas Scar Professional Silicone Scar Sheets on a four-year-old scar on our face where the skin was damaged enough to prohibit hair growth in that area. While it was a little awkward to cut the sheets down to the appropriate size for a facial scar (and we couldn’t leave the sheets on 24/7, as recommended) we were still impressed with the results we saw. Together, vitamins E and C are an antiaging powerhouse, protecting your skin from the damage caused by UV rays while promoting healthy skin-cell growth. They also help brighten your skin tone, minimize free-radical damage (on an even higher level), and boost your collagen production (which means smoother, brighter, firmer skin). Sign me up. Ideally, you’d find a serum with vitamins C and E together, but you can also try doubling up your products in the morning, layering on a moisturizer over a serum or an oil over a moisturizer, or just saving your vitamin E serum for night and using your vitamin C serum in the morning. The bottom line Finally, vitamin E has the ability to soothe inflammation, which can help skin heal, says Hartman; for example, it can help skin recover from eczema flare-ups or damage from a sunburn or wound. In fact, “there are several studies that have shown that vitamin E is helpful with atopic dermatitis, yellow nail syndrome and pustular psoriasis,” says Dr. Naana Boakye, a board-certified dermatologist at Bergen Dermatology. Is vitamin E good as a face moisturizer?Did you know that the term vitamin E actually refers to a group of eight nutrients that all have similar structures yet slightly different functions? There are four tocopherols and four tocotrienols; all eight compounds may be correctly referred to as “vitamin E”. Out of these eight compounds, alpha-tocopherol is the most abundant and biologically active form in the human body. Trial and error might need to be part of your hunt for a good moisturizer, but there are a few ways to better narrow down your options.
