Antioxidant, Masking, Skin Conditioning

Tocopherol (also known as Vitamin E) is a common antioxidant used to help protect the skin from free-radicals and strengthen the skin barrier. It's also fat soluble - this means our skin is great at absorbing it.

Vitamin E also helps keep your natural skin lipids healthy. Your lipid skin barrier naturally consists of lipids, ceramides, and fatty acids. Vitamin E offers extra protection for your skin’s lipid barrier, keeping your skin healthy and nourished.

Another benefit is a bit of UV protection. Vitamin E helps reduce the damage caused by UVB rays. (It should not replace your sunscreen). Combining it with Vitamin C can decrease sunburned cells and hyperpigmentation after UV exposure.

You might have noticed Vitamin E + C often paired together. This is because it is great at stabilizing Vitamin C. Using the two together helps increase the effectiveness of both ingredients.

There are often claims that Vitamin E can reduce/prevent scarring, but these claims haven't been confirmed by scientific research.

Only use it for body if you have sensitive face.
Broke my fungal acne out like crazy after I use it on face for 2 nights. I wonder why it works so well for other people acne scars. But it really has effect on lightening some scars on my body.

Immediately irritated my skin. Heavy burning sensation. Did a spot test on a portion of my skin without any acne just to make sure and my already oily skin became about 3x more oily with little to no hydrating effects. Yikes.

After a week of using this, my cystic acne reappeared on my chin. Yeah I do have hormonal acne, but the painful red bumps from the last (before I used topical medicine) have returned. It does irritate my skin, and after reviewing the comments, I feel like I’m not the only one experiencing this problem with this product. I think my skin is sensitive to Hyaluronic Acid. Go with a different product
