class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ingredient Deep Dive: Vitamin E<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Another skincare staple that slips under the radar: vitamin E. This unsung hero nourishes and protects the skin, and has more benefits than you&#8217;d think. Get to know vitamin E, right here on The Dose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is Vitamin E and who can use it?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Vitamin E is an oil-soluble antioxidant and an everyday hero when it comes to skincare.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Normally, the body produces vitamin E through sebum, a naturally oily substance produced through the skin\u2019s pores. In the right balance, sebum helps keep the skin conditioned and prevents dryness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vitamin E is suited to all <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/get-to-know-your-skin-type-dry-oily-combination-and-more\/\">skin types<\/a>. If you have particularly dry skin, vitamin E can help counteract a lack of sebum and make skin feel more nourished and hydrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your skin is excessively <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/oily-skin-101-oily-skin-causes-symptoms-and-treatment\/\">oily<\/a> or hyper-sensitive then vitamin E is most likely to be well tolerated and deliver best results as part of a blended formula rather than if applied as single-ingredient skincare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/ask-a-nutritionist-on-food-supplements-wellness-and-skincare\/\">diet<\/a>, vitamin E can be found in nuts and seeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p><em>Vitamin E is an oil-soluble antioxidant and an everyday hero when it comes to skincare.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>The science behind vitamin E<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Vitamin E is commonly known as tocopherol (you might see this word on the ingredients list of your fave skincare) and it\u2019s the most widely used form of alpha-tocopherol acetate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tocopherol and its commonly used forms are oils, so if used topically as a single ingredient, it may feel sticky on the skin. This skin-feel can be negated by using products that contain vitamin E blended with other skincare ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>What does vitamin E do?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll find vitamin E in huge amounts of skincare products. Used topically, not only does it protect from environmental damage, it soothes and moisturises irritated skin. For skin that\u2019s a bit dry, it\u2019s hydrating and protective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vitamin E has been shown in studies to reduce the number of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/skincare-and-the-sun-guide-freckles-sun-spots-spf-and-makeup-know-how\/\">sunburn<\/a> cells and limit the potential damage associated with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/skincare-and-the-sun-guide-freckles-sun-spots-spf-and-makeup-know-how\/\">UVB radiation<\/a> from sunlight.

Like vitamin E, vitamin C is already naturally occurring in your skin. Vitamin C is also known as ascorbic acid and like Vitamin E, it\u2019s an antioxidant that helps repair and protect body tissues.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main difference between vitamin C and vitamin E is that vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin whereas vitamin E is soluble in fat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Using vitamin E and vitamin C together&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of daytime routine products combine vitamin E with fellow antioxidant vitamin C. Why? Because using Vitamin E and C together can boost their effectiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vitamin C can be unstable on its own &#8211; meaning it can separate from the rest of the product, or change colour and texture. An addition of vitamin E can negate this because oil-soluble vitamin E keeps the formula balanced. It also helps to preserve the photoprotective efficacy of the product.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to use vitamin E in your skincare routine<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Use vitamin E under daily moisturiser or in your sunscreen to negate effects of sun damage and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/ask-a-dermatologist-pollution-defence-and-protective-skincare\/\">pollution<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might find that the products already in your routine are enhanced with vitamin E \u2013 it\u2019s soothing, hydrating and generally well-tolerated on most skin types. Although, you may experience slight irritation if your skin is sensitive and you apply vitamin E directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Applied topically as directed, vitamin E is also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/a-dermatologists-guide-to-pregnancy-safe-skincare\/\">pregnancy-safe<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>I have oily skin, can I use vitamin E?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although vitamin E is well-tolerated by most skin types, pure vitamin E applied topically can potentially clog pores. If your skin is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/oily-skin-101-oily-skin-causes-symptoms-and-treatment\/\">oily<\/a>, you can still get the antioxidant benefits of vitamin E if it\u2019s blended as part of a balanced skincare formula.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using fewer products with smarter, blended formulas is the key to getting the best from your skincare here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can I use vitamin E alongside tretinoin in my routine?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes.
