Pros:

Best moisturizer for flaking skin
Reduced redness

Cons:

Possibly clogs pores
Can make you look very shiney if used under makeup - better to use overnight

I got a cheap 30000iu vitamin e with coco butter body/face cream for some dry patches. I put it on overnight and it completly remoisturized my skin and redness was greatly reduced. I hear it can clog pores and the coco butter won't help that either but no extra breakouts so far :)

Pros:

Fades red marks
Evens out skin tone (redness)

I have had these two persistent large red marks on my cheeks back from the beginning of summer (5 months ago). I had started to apply the vitamin e oil at night time and during the day when I was staying at home at the end of September. So I have only been using it for approximately 2 months. During this time I have noticed a reduction in the redness of these marks but nothing totally dramatic. Probably a reduction by 30%. I am hoping that with continued use (next 4 months). That these marks will be GONE!

Pros:

great finishing touch for clear, healthy skin; creates a beautiful glow; smooths away marks left by hyperpigmentation

Cons:

is not enough by itself (at least, wasn't for me)

Use this as part of a daily regimen to improve the overall clarity and health of your skin. I take a 200 I.U. vitamin E capsule daily along with 30 mg Zinc and 1000 mg chewable vitamin C. Additionally, I apply Zinc powder (from the capsules) topically to my t-zone and cheeks a couple times a day after washing my face. I seal the powder in with 10% benzoyl peroxide cream (Nuetrogena On the Spot, Murad, etc) and follow with a good spf 15 moisturizer (Olay for sensitive skin, for example). I've found that applying zinc topically greatly increases the benefits of the vitamin. Prior to beginning this regimen, I had taken Solodyn (an oral antibiotic) for the three months. Solodyn COMPLETELY cleared my moderate acne while the vitamins I've been taking since have worked to maintain my healthy, glowing complexion. I am truly amazed that taking the above viatmins daily has kept my skin in a near-perfect state all on its own.

Pros:

Can be taken orally
Tasteless when mixed with Juice
Bottle can last awhile all you need is five drops

Cons:

Can be harmful if you have skin that's already oily, and you apply it directly.

My skin is combination skin, but it's very sensitive. I heard that it works if you apply it to the skin. Didn't work for me it actually caused me to break out more. But I started taken it orally and wow.. the acne marks on my back are gradually disappearing as well as the ones on my face. You can see results fast I believe if taken orally. Oral medication always works best for me rather than applying it directly. But to each it's own.

Strengthens under eye skin

Pros:

firms skin
reduces wrinkles

Cons:

must be kept up daily

I used vitamin E from a bottle in liquid form and placed it directly on the skin around my eyes. It firmed and even removed a few wrinkles! I'm only giving it a 4 star rating due to the fact that a week after I stopped applying it (ran out & haven't bought a replacement bottle) the skin seemed to not retain it's firmness, although it's not nearly as bad as it was when I started. So there's some maintenance to it, not a perm fixer but then again, not all beauty products are! I do believe that it's helped minimize the appearance of future wrinkles because I'm still complaining over the original few so there's something else! Over all a great product. Also, less is more with the bottle variety.

I've been taking 400 IU of vitamin E for about a month now. By no means is this a miracle acne solution. However, I have noticed and improvement in the texture of my skin as well as my dark spots fading a little quicker. I will continue taking this because I do like the results. I just have to keep finding more products to help clear my skin as well. I definitely recommend giving this a try :)

Did you use the pills or applied it on your face?
October 4, 2011

Pros:

Helps with dry patches
Skin feels noticeably softer
Marks are fading

Cons:

Clogs my pores & I break out if I leave it on overnight
Stinks, in my opinion
Feels greasy

I started using Vitamin E after a girl at my school told me it helped her with her shallow indented scarring and red marks by using the oil inside the capsule. I decided to give it a go, since I've never tried anything for spots or scarring but just let it fade naturally. It's been about 1 week since I've started using the Vitamin E and my face is a lot softer. It definitely helps if you ever have a dry spot that needs extra help moisturizing. I've seen some improvement on a couple dark spots on my chin, especially the area where I got a very large cyst. I don't know if it's done anything to my scarring. I am going to keep this up for a while because it's healthy and seems to be working and isn't too expensive. The only reason why I didn't give it a 5/5 is because it clogs my pores and causes breakouts if I leave it on overnight.

Pros:

helps clear up acne

Cons:

smells like motor oil

I am 26 years old and had acne for a while as a teenager. It started to clear up with age, then I went on the pill andmy skin was beautiful. After several months of going off the pill, my hormones are very imbalanced and the acne came with a vengence. I tried apple cider vinegar, a clean and clear kit, and proactiv and nothing worked. I have recently been putting tea tree oil on my face, letting it dry, then putting vitamin e oil over to moisturize. this routine helped, but then when I started taking vitamin e orally, I saw much better results. my ance in now under contol, just a few flare ups. I have only been using and taking the vitamine e oil for a few days now, but am happy with the results. I have also been using an all natural hormone spray to regulate my hormones, but I don't know if that is helping. I definately know that the acne problems I am having are internal, thus the reason the oil pills are working. I will keep you guys posted on my progress. All the best!
