i had a bout of acne in january due to exam nerves and my salon recommended me getting a facial which broke me out in 5 days worse than before. i battled with different medications for a week or so and that seemed to cure the acne. this experience left my skin filled with acne scars and red bumps. thats when i started to look for any good acne marks cream and i came across fair and lovely. however that too broke me out in a few days. i looked at the ingredients and found them to be aloe vera and vitamin e and vitamin B3. That gave me a bright idea of why not use aloe from my garden and vitamin e capsule that are cheaply available from the local pharmacy and voila developed my own concoction.(couldnt find vitamin B3)

what i do is break the vitamin e capsule over the aloe leaf and take that gel and rub it all over my marks and any problem areas at night and wash it off with a good cleanser in the morning.

after using two days i have noticed brighter complexion and fading of the red marks. and no new acne has formed.

by the way i have oily skin but the aloe gel and vitamin seem to be doing the trick perfectly well together.

ill keep this on for a week and post the forum with any updates

Pros

  • my skin never looked this brighter
  • has faded my red marks in just 2 days
  • helps a lot with dry skin or oily skin that goes dry when you put on acne medications

Cons

  • does make you itchy when you apply it on your face but that subsides after it has fully absorbed
  • moderate
  • for a day or two
  • $ 0.5
  • I recommend using this treatment.

I bought the vitamin e supplement because I read a lot of great reviews about it treating pimples and removing scars. Well, I regret buying it because it made my face more oily. To cut it short, I don't recomment vitamin E to those who have oily skin.

Pros

  • helps in removing pimple scars.

Cons

  • I have an oily skin but using this product made my skin more oily. It also aggrevated my pimples.
  • light
  • for a few weeks
  • $ 5
  • I do not recommend using this treatment.

Vitamin E seems to be helping me with acne. I use with the acne.org regimen and with plenty of water (4-5 liters per day!)

It is also important to note that any vitamin should be taken at a consistant time everyday.

Pros

  • Inexpensive
  • Seems to help acne when taken with plenty of water during the day

Cons

  • None
  • moderately severe
  • for a few weeks
  • $ 6
  • I recommend using this treatment.

I use it every night and morning.

Can't just put it on the face, it works great with water together, First squeeze tow softgels of oil on the left palm, then use water to wet the right hand. Put oil on the face with wet hands. Then wet both hands, use wet hands to massage face until oil and water into the skin. Morning I use sun cream on top it. It works great.

Pros

  • Make skin soft, smooth, bright and spotless

Cons

  • A little bit greasy
  • very light
  • for about a year
  • $ 10
  • I recommend using this treatment.

i'm 28 and have been having slight problems with acne forever. however last year my skin got very dry and i decided to try vitamin e. after a few days my skin looked 10 years younger. or at least a couple years. anyway, my skin cleared up, and the tone of it evened out. it feels greasy going on but the next morning it has all absorbed and WILL NOT CAUSE YOU TO BREAK OUT. quite the opposite.

i barely have to use makeup now.

and i stopped washing my face because i didn't need to anymore.

after i started using mineral makeup which also made my skin better.

i don't know which of these three things turned my skin around but i will never go back to expensive products and drying soaps.

only washing with water, vitamin e at night, and mineral makeup during the way.

i swear by it.

Pros

  • evens out skin tone, clears up skin, very cheap, all natural.

Cons

  • none at all
  • light
  • for about a year
  • $ 5

I purchased 32000IU from Whole Foods, highest form possible, pure Vitamin E no additives They actually have roll on Vitamin E- so I never get it on my hands. I have only been using it for about a week everyday and all I can say is WOW! I am amazed.

This has not made my skin extra oily which I am amazed by. I recommend this highly.

Pros

  • Mositurizing, clears acne spots/damage, does not create more pimples

Cons

  • Sticky
  • moderately severe
  • for about a week
  • $ 8.49
  • I recommend using this treatment.

I have used every single topical treatment since I was a teenager and Differin, Proactiv, Epiduo, Duac, Benzaclyn, etc... At first these medicines did work for me (Proactiv the longest or maybe bc I was also on the pill at the time). However, after awhile my skin became irritated with the constant chemicals and I began to develop rashes. So I stopped all topical treatment all together and just started to use less harsh cleansers and lotions. Now I started using Vitamin E and mixed it with my moisterizer every night and my skin is rash free, acne free and much softer.

I noticed a lot of people complaining about its greasiness but just mix it with nice thick moisterizer and it should lessen the greasiness. I use Aveeno and/or nivea soft.

Pros

  • Lessened my acne scars, softens my skin, reduced/ stopped breakouts

Cons

  • greasy
  • moderately severe
  • for a few weeks
  • $ 7
  • I recommend using this treatment.

Vitamin E pills taken orally really helped with itchy dry skin which is more than enough for me to keep taking it.

Applying right to my skin is 50/50 for pros and cons. It helps fade the scars a little bit and softens the skin, but makes my skin look worn out or "old" looking. It also cause small pimples to get much bigger if left on too long.

I'de say don't overdo applying it to your face, it may cause as much trouble as it does good. Once or twice a week for a few hours should be good enough. Orally take the pill once or twice a day and this works very nice.

You can't go outside when applied to your face it is too oily.

Pros

  • Lightens scars, softens skin, moisturizes skin, makes hair feel thick?

Cons

  • makes my skin look worn out temporarily and causes little pimples to get bigger
  • light
  • for about a month
  • $ 12
  • I recommend using this treatment.
