Speaking of cheap and easy-to-use national skin care products, then vitamin E cream should be on the list. In particular, the vitamin E cream in the name of a well-known public hospital is almost a must-have.
Because it was too hot, the hospital had to come out to refute the rumors, and they really didn't produce a similar product.
But this does not affect everyone's love for it, many beauty and skin care bloggers on the Little Red Book will recommend vitamin E cream with other skin care products, claiming that its mixed effect is greater than the effect of single use.
(VE neck wrinkles are outrageous, to tell the truth, neck wrinkles really want to improve immediately, you can consider filling)
However, can the effect of mixing and matching really remove blackheads and neck wrinkles? Does it work with everyone with other skincare products?
Today, let's explore with Xiaohong the magic of vitamin E cream and whether it can be mixed and matched.
The approximate composition of vitamin E cream
The composition of vitamin E cream is: vitamin E, allantoin, stearic acid, glycerin and so on. Among them, vitamin E is a fat-soluble organic compound with antioxidant function. As an antioxidant, it can reduce the interlocking formation of lipid radicals.
The allantoin can enhance the hygroscopic ability of the cuticleocytes of the skin, and can also directly act on the proteins in the stratum corneum, strengthening its ability to bind water to absorb more water. The keratin disperses the scales to loosen and fall off, making the skin moist and smooth.
It can also stimulate epithelial hyperplasia, promote granulation tissue growth, and accelerate wound healing. The two have a synergistic effect, and the combination can play a moisturizing effect on the skin.
The skincare effect of vitamin E cream
Vitamin E cream is mainly used for dry skin and skin pruritus caused by seasonal changes, and has the effect of moisturizing the skin, preventing cracking, antioxidant and antipruritic effects for external use. At the time of season change, it is a more economical and practical moisturizer.
However, its role is limited to this, and it is not like the internet rumors, it is a magical ointment similar to "panacea oil".
Misconceptions about vitamin E creams
●Acne can not be used
Anyone who has used vitamin E cream knows that vitamin E cream itself is somewhat greasy, so it is not recommended that oilpox muscle be used regularly. Because people with acne have too much oil secretion, if the external cream is combined with petroleum, then is it not "oil on the oil"?
● Is blackhead removal really effective?
It is rumored on the Internet that vitamin E can remove blackheads, if you want to use vitamin E cream to get rid of blackheads, it is better to save effort. Some topical medications, such as tretinoins, azelaic acids, salicylic acids, and fruit acids, can be used to improve blackheads, or try aesthetic methods to improve blackheads.
● Is anti-aging real?
Many people will rush to the anti-aging effect of vitamin E, thinking that this is an affordable anti-aging artifact. But vitamin E cream, it is still the main moisturizing function.
What kind of skin disease patients are suitable
Vitamin E cream is available to some skin disease patients, which has some auxiliary effects on the treatment of some skin problems, such as improving symptoms such as cracked hands and feet, sebum deficiency and dry skin syndrome.
However, whether it can be mixed with other drugs or follow the advice of the doctor.
In summary, vitamin E cream is only a cost-effective moisturizing product, and it does not have a very magical function. So there's no need to deify it too much, but vitamin E cream should be a good choice for people who want to choose a good moisturizing product at a good price.
