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.

This is an update. At first, I thought this product was wonderful, and I saw my sebaceous filaments go off. But the product also broke me out and I got my chin full of clogged pores. It is very nice for the nose, but I can’t use it on my whole face.
Plus, my mother tried and liked it because removed the makeup very nicely, she doesn’t have any skin concerns unless she has skin concerns.
