Can Vitamin E help with your acne breakouts? American Chronical features a nice article about how Vitamin E is helpful in treating and curing acne breakouts .
A few important points I have extracted from the article are:
vitamin E helps prevent oils trapped in the pores from becoming rancid and hardened. This preventative action lowers the chances of having inflamed, painful acne lesions. However, vitamin E reaches the surface layer of the skin via oil secretion from the pores. Thus, it is important to clear trapped oils from the skin so that vitamin E can flow to the outer layers of the face and pre-empt acne lesions.
Clinical & Experimental Dermatology detected a direct link between blood levels of vitamin E, and acne. In this investigation, researchers compared the blood levels of vitamin E in 100 newly diagnosed, yet untreated acne patients to 100 age-matched, healthy volunteers without acne. Overall, the healthy, acne free group had higher amounts of vitamin E in their circulatory system than the acne sufferer group.
