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.

Leaves white cast
It may be due to The Ordinary's Nicacinamide serum before putting on this sunscreen but I noticed that when I sweated, it left white casts or sweat streaks on my face. Not pretty at all. So I decided to use it on my body (arms and legs), same thing, white streaks and cannot be easily removed with soap double cleanse (when I left my makeup remover for my face). I am afraid to recommend this without fair warning. I have Oily Skin, btw.

Main SPF
This sunscreen is the best I've tried so far and leaves a matte finish after drying which I really like because I dislike sticky/oily finishes. It has a minimal white cast (I apply 3 fingers each side of the face), but I like it so because it hides blemishes and my skin looks smoother. It's good for sensitive skin and does not break me out and it is also mineral which is healthier.
