''As an antioxidant, vitamin E "helps to neutralize free radicals from the environment and sun that can damage the skin and contribute to premature aging," Dr. Karp says. Vitamin E also has anti-inflammatory properties and is fat-soluble, so it can penetrate our skin's lipid barrier easily.

"Vitamin E combats free-radical damage from environmental stressors and toxins; as a humectant, it helps to draw moisture into the skin from the environment," dermatologist Deanne Mraz Robinson, says. "As an emollient, it softens the skin barrier and helps to lock in moisture beneath, preventing trans-epidermal water loss."

Vitamin E can also soften and moisturize skin, reduce swelling and redness, and can help heal burns and wounds. Those with eczema, psoriasis, and itchy skin may find relief when using a product with vitamin E.
