A member asked:

Stop applying.: Vitamin E oil is thick, and occludes oil glands, which causes the small bumps you describe. Stop applying the oil and the bumps will go away. Vitamin E oil does nothing beneficial for your skin anyway, despite what you have read online. Wash your face regularly, using a mild soap. That's all you need to do.

Give your face a: Break from any products, as it sounds like your face is reacting to the topical vitamin E. Let your body heal and often this means just avoiding using anything that might further irritate your skin.
