The 7 Best Vitamin E Products For Your Face

I've heard of the beauty and health benefits of vitamin E before, but it wasn't until I thought back on a dermatologist appointment from my teenage years that I remembered how long ago I first heard about its skin-saving properties. I had some scarring on my forehead (ah, teenage acne), and my dermatologist suggested vitamin E oil as a way to reduce the scarring. Vitamin E is all the rage in the dermatology world right now, and for good reason. If you're a beginner, these vitamin E products are the best for your skin and also a great place to start.

Vitamin E is known because its powerful antioxidants provide a natural barrier to the sun. It can also block other harmful elements. "Vitamin E oil works to block free radicals from the body, which play a large part in the aging process," Stafford Broumand, a cosmetic and plastic surgeon, told the Huffington Post. "If we can fight off free radicals, then we can reduce wrinkles and keep the skin youthful-looking."

And, that's not the only benefit. "It's also an anti-inflammatory, so it calms and hydrates sensitive skin," facialist Joanna Vargos told the Huffington Post.

Although Vitamin E may be too heavy for every day use, it should be in your beauty product rotation. Here's seven products to choose from.
