A member asked:

Can i use vitamin e oil to rub on my skin?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You can, but...: ...It's not going to do much of anything, other than plug up some oil glands. Despite what you read on-line concerning its miraculous ability to heal scars and heaven knows what else, there is no credible evidence of any beneficial effects from topical application of vitamin e.
