Answer 1

Buy vitamin E capsules break it open and put it on your skin then wash it off.  Another good healer for scars is coconut oil.  Try using one of these as a mask.  Then washing it off.  Have you tried the new nutregina line I heard it is great.

Hello,

You said..afterwards i feel oily and dont want to touch my pillow with it. so that means this cream adds more oil and doesnt help you.Try to look for products with glycolic acid, this removes the top layer of the skin without the obvious peeling, helps with acne prone skin.

Heal your skin from the inside too. check recipes for radiant skin here http://beautyfoodnow.blogspot.com

I don't recommend you put the vitamin E on your skin overnight. If you have an acne problem, you need to stick with oil free products. The cream will clog your pores causing more black heads and pimples. If you can go to your dermatologist and get a skin cream with hydroquinone in it(Lustra) and just place it on the scars, the cream will lighten them up within a couple of weeks. You could also talk to your derm about getting a cream with a retin-A in it(differin cream) which helps the face shed dead skin cells and produce new ones. If you can't do that I would suggest you gently exfoliate your skin 1 to 2 times a week doing so does the same thing the retin-A will just at a slower pace.

No, vitamin E creams are of very little help in clearing acne and there is always a chance of your pores getting clogged and skin looking oily and greasy.

I would recommend you to use Zenmed's Derma Cleanse Acne System. It is a completely herbal product that works great for maintaining an acne free skin permanently. The entire system comprises of 3 products, a facial cleanser, an acne gel and easy to swallow capsules.

The facial cleanser helps to clean the outer surface of the skin from dirt, oil and bacteria. The acne gel is used to clear the skin of acne quickly,unclogging pores and eliminating bacteria from the innermost layer of the skin to the surface. The gel also helps to reduce the redness, swelling and scarring that often accompanies acne and maintain this level of cleanliness and to continue to prevent the build-up of sebum and bacteria for a prolonged period of time.

The capsules are the main acne fighters. The capsules attack the root cause of acne working to cleanse, detoxify and relax the body. This not only helps heal current acne, it also helps to prevent future breakouts.

Try this for a month and from my personal experience I can assure you of a clean, clear and acne free complexion. Even for your scars, you can use their Scar Treatment kit, which works very well to eliminate scars and marks from the skin.

New studies have been coming out showing that vitamin E does little to stimulate skin growth. I just broke my face open and have been doing a lot of research. The most effective thing according to scientists and my massive scar seems to be lotion with collagen.

I definitely think that vitamin e oil will clog your pores. It is SO GREASY
