In reply to Em Lo. Em, all I know is that Vitamin E must be present in at least 1% concentrations, and used with ingredients that help stabilize it. Hope this helps.

I would very much like to know how to compare the vitamin E content in a creams from % to IU, ie what is the conversion factor between IU and % w/w (g/100g or the like) vitamin E in a cream? How much vitamin E is considered an effective amount to be added to a face cream?

In reply to Diane. Diane, I don't really know why Vitamin E acquired a reputation for healing scars when very often it has the opposite effect. I'm sorry you can't use neither that nor coconut. There are so many products that use them and trying to find some that don't must be very frustrating.

Vitamin E irritated my surgical scar, so it wasn’t healing. My doc told me to stop using it. It healed much faster after that, and beautifully. I’ve had trouble finding skincare products that don’t fill my pores and cause irritation. I realized everything had E in it, so I stopped using everything but Ivory soap. My skin is getting better now. I also have an intolerance to coconut, so maybe using it on my skin is just as bad for me as eating it. Most products contain that too.

In reply to Isabel. Isabel, is your serum pure Vitamin e or does it contain other ingredients? Cos it could be something else in the formula that makes it work for pimple scars. In any case, Iìm glad the serum works well for you. :)

I love my vitamin e serum but I’m shocked to see that it doesn’t help with scars as my serum works beautifully. Pimple scars that would normally take weeks to go away can be gotten rid of in a few days with nightly applications. Skin also appears to be more radiant in the morning
