A vitamin E cream can be beneficial for almost every skin type. Those with mature skin may want to consider using a vitamin E cream for its powerful antioxidant effects, which can help prevent the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. If you have dry skin or eczema, a vitamin E cream could be beneficial since it strengthens the skin barrier and improves moisture retention. Lastly, if you’re going to spend a lot of time in the sun, you can further protect your skin by using a vitamin E cream underneath your sunscreen.

The dermatologists we spoke with say that using skin care products with vitamin E can be an easy way to get multiple skin care benefits at once. When shopping for vitamin E products, they recommended considering the following factors: No matter how careful you are, scars happen. Environmental exposures, infections, injuries—the possibilities for acquiring scars are endless. While some scars are small and inconspicuous enough to go unnoticed, others may be larger, darker, rougher, or in a highly visible location. If you have a more noticeable scar, you may have considered using a scar cream to help repair it faster. Scar creams can not only speed the healing process but also moisturize the skin, which further promotes health and regrowth. Keen, M. A., & Hassan, I. (2016, July-August). Vitamin E in dermatology.

Baumann, L. S., & Spencer, J. (1999, April). The effects of topical vitamin E on cosmetic appearance of scars [Abstract]. Dermatologic Surgery, 25(4), 311-315 Folk wisdom has long suggested that vitamin E, applied to the skin, taken as a supplement, or both, might treat scars, or prevent them from forming in the first place. But research does not support this claim and has found no association between vitamin E use and scar prevention. Our editors who tested these scar creams had a wide range of experience in using scar treatments, with some being prior users and others never having treated a scar with an OTC product before. The products were also tested on a variety of scars; some old and some new, some raised and others flat or sunken. Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin that acts as an antioxidant, helping protect cells from damage throughout your body. It’s found in our sebum (skin oil), which creates a natural barrier to keep moisture in your skin. So oilier skin surfaces, like the face, contain greater amounts of vitamin E. And since people with oily skin have more sebum, they also have more vitamin E on their skin.

At least one study has linked topical vitamin E to a reduction in psoriasis symptoms. Even better, the study showed that there were no serious side effects. We applied a thin layer of the gel, turned on the vibrating wand, and ran it over the scar area for about two minutes, then applied a scar sheet to leave on for the rest of the day or overnight. Our scar was pretty tough: a pea-sized keloid scar we’ve had for about 20 years. While we didn’t see dramatic results (that’s to be expected with keloid scars, which usually require surgery), we noticed a less dense scar at the end of testing.Other duos can help on the moisturization front, too, according to Hartman. For instance, you can pair vitamin E with hyaluronic acid for an additional burst of moisture, he says. What does vitamin E do to skin? This ultra-lightweight, non-greasy formula is a hero for combination skin. It doesn’t just replenish moisture, it restores vital hydration, leaving you with happy, healthy-looking skin for 48 hours.

People with dry, flaky skin are more likely to see a benefit from using vitamin E because it enhances moisturization,” says Dr. Kassouf. Vitamin E is a fat-soluble ingredient, meaning it’s able to penetrate deep into your skin and preserve the lipids (fats) in your face, says Dr. Linker, while soothing and healing your skin barrier (aka the outer layer you can see). On top of that, you could be missing out on benefits that come from pairing vitamin E with other ingredients. That’s because “vitamin E isn’t very stable on its own and needs the support of other ingredients to be its most effective,” says Yadav. For example, for ferulic acid, one study in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology found that it both stabilized vitamin E and doubled its protection against sun damage.However, the effects of vitamin E on psoriasis were not as good as most readily available treatments. Vitamin E oil might be a good option for people who want to avoid prescription remedies and who have mild psoriasis. Preventing or minimizing the appearance of scars Lastly, you might find an unusual ingredient in many scar creams—onion extract. This ingredient has been shown to be an effective complementary treatment to many more common scar-healing ingredients like allantoin and petroleum-based ointments.
