Vitamin E Review

 Updated On:

Overview

Vitamin E is a very popular ingredient in anti-aging creams on the market today. It is high in antioxidants which means that it should be able to protect skin against environmental pollution and should also be able to wipe up free radicals which do damage to the skin. It is also said to have other properties that are beneficial to the skin, such as the ability to facilitate the healing of scars. Vitamin E is also said to be useful for skin conditions such as psoriasis, and for treating sun burn.

Product Details

If you wish to try Vitamin E, then it is available in a number of forms. Vitamin E supplements are available to be taken orally and it is also available as an ingredient in a large number of anti-aging creams. Some people also buy Vitamin E capsules which are in liquid form, and simply break the capsules and apply the liquid directly onto their face. Those who have neurological conditions such as a congenital history of stroke, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s have often found Vitamin E to be useful. Vitamin E is said to be good for the blood vessels, and it is for this reason it is said to often help those with a family history of stroke or who are at risk of stroke for other reasons. This is also one of the reason that it is beneficial for the skin, since it increases the blood supply to the skin cells.

The Good

  • Vitamin E is available for purchase in various forms, including oral and topical.
  • Vitamin E capsules and skin creams containing Vitamin E can be purchased directly on line.
  • Vitamin E products are reasonably priced and are within most people’s budget.

The Bad

  • Though it is certainly beneficial, there is no concrete proof that Vitamin E as an anti-aging ingredient is superior to other anti-aging ingredients on the market.
  • Much of the evidence concerning Vitamin E is antedoctal.
  • There are other vitamins which have antioxidant qualities, not just Vitamin E.
  • There have not been enough standardized controlled tests carried out regarding Vitamin E and its anti aging properties.

The Bottom Line

The claims made regarding Vitamin E are impressive. It is said not only to have impressive antioxidants properties, but also to have soothing qualities for the skin as well as healing and regenerative qualities. The problem is that at the moment, the majority of information regarding Vitamin E is anecdotal. We cannot conclude that anecdotal evidence is concrete evidence. So although putting Vitamin E on you face or taking Vitamin E capsules is very unlikely to do you any harm, we cannot recommend it over and above other anti aging ingredients on the market today which have antioxidant qualities. If you are just looking to secure the internal health benefits of Vitamin E, you would be better off taking it in oral form.
