I’ve a very small scar under my lip by an accident with a (still) dear friend, a dance floor and a drinking glass. It’ s hard to see but vanity that I am I want to get everything out of it to make the small scar completely disappear. Now initially I went for a scar cream but was advised to use pure Vitamin E, a vitamin that’s found in scar cream.

Vitamin E.

Vitamin E is an antioxidant that is sensitive to light and oxygen, it’s therefore important that it’s packaged in a dark bottle or in capsules. This vitamin is important for your skin, it fights against free radicals, reduces wrinkles and stimulates collagen production.

Please note; t’s sometimes claimed that Vitamin E (or scar cream) can make a scar completely disappear, that depends in the first place on the type of scar, the size and color, etc., but it’s impossible to make a scar completely disappear with an oil or cream. But for sure it can drastically reduce and soften a scar. A good scar cream should also restore the moisture balance of the scarred skin.

Pure vitamin E oil for your skin.

This pure form of Vitamin E is actually intended for ingestion and is available in liquid form and in capsules. Capsules also work fine but you need to pierce them in order to get the oil out, so I find it easier to use the liquid form. I apply it on my scar and sometimes under my eyes or face.

Regarding vitamins, I’ve only a few brands that I use which I’m sure that they aren’t placebos and the brand Solgar is one of them.

The drops you get out from the bottle with a dropper, making dosing easy.

Conclusion.

Vitamin E oil is quite thick and therefore it takes a while before it’s completely absorbed into the skin. It’s therefore not an option to use the oil in your face during the day, unless of course your scar is somewhere else. I use the oil in any case only for the night. I like that the oil makes my skin smooth and I’m very curious whether my scar is less visible soon. The good thing about this pure vitamin oil is that you can use it double because also the intake of Vitamin E is important for the health of your skin and it plays an important role for your immune system.

Solgar Liquid Vitamin E is available at the vitaminestore.nl for € 17, 15 (59,2 ml).
