Does vitamin E oil fade scars?

Would this be okay to fade acne scars slightly faster?

  • If i put Vitamin E oil on my face 2x a day (morning and night) would it fade my acen scars any faster? How fast would they fade if i only put Vitamin E on once a day? Please help! I am 14 and i am quite embarrassed by this!

  • Answer:

    Scars heal faster the younger you are. Vitamin E oil works wonders, especially when you are young. If you were only going to do it once a day the morning application is probably the most effective. An evening one might get rubbed off faster in your sleep. Still, scars may take up to a year to heal depending on different factors. A good way to keep the scars from appearing in the first place is to stop pinching and squeezing your skin. Doing this not only allows bacteria into the wound you just opened, it also damages surrounding skin. This is a rather brief period of your life that you will have this problem. Concentrate on keeping your skin healthy, consciously try not to touch your face during the day. If you keep from damaging your skin now, you'll look pretty hot once you get into your 20s and the problem starts to fade away. btw Vitamin E oil along with pure aloe (not the green gel... pure aloe will look just like water and have an herbal like smell) can also help reduce skin blemishes. Blemishes themselves do not cause the scars. The scar happens when you burst the blemish and push bacteria into the wound with your fingers and especially fingernails that live both on your hands and the surface of your skin on your face. Wash your hands frequently, you might be surprised how much your face clears up when you wash your hands more and stop touching your face.

I heard Vitamin A was the way to go. Ask your mom to pick you up some retinol while she's out. Chances are she will know what I'm talking about Make sure you use real vitamin E and not tha manmade kind. Vitamin E is a hype that they put in stuff to sell it. Aso, take vitamin c, and a multivitamin, because yout health shows in your skin But vitamin C really does work, as a supplement not directly on your face.

I have the same problem. I'm not sure if that would help or not but the best thing to do is just go for it! Or talk to a herbalist or even your pharmacist, I'm sure they'd be helpful.

Vit E oil is good - have used it before for other scars. I can't remember how often I used it. But I'd think twice a day would be better. If you're only going to use it once thought - use it at night.
