I haven’t gotten around to getting supplements though. Oral supplements generally don’t do much if you’re not deficient though, so you should check that first.

It depends on what Vit E oil you used, and what exactly she meant by “blocking”. Vit E and A used together can actually help correct keratinisation and prevent plugs forming in the skin, but some oils high in vit E can be comedogenic/pore-blocking (wheat germ oil is very comedogenic, vit E by itself is a little bit, and sunflower oil is not). So in a way, by using oil to treat your acne scars, you may have been causing more acne to form, which I’m guessing might have been what she meant.

I think she could have been referring to the fact that you are applying oil to your face, not that it was vitamin e that was bad. I think you should assess whether you are actually experiencing any negative effects that could be linked to using the oil (such as blocked pores or increased acne) before you stop using it.

I used to apply Vitamin E oil directly onto my acne scars, but when i saw a beautician she told me that was really bad as it “blocks” the skin and actually works against your skin!? Is this true?
