Ever since I started my research on Natural Scar Removal products and methods, I almost immediately noticed how many people seem to advocate the use of Vitamin E as a topical ointment that does indeed deliver some results. On the surface, it actually looks like a good idea with a sensible underlying logic... not to mention that Vitamin E capsules can be purchased quite cheaply just about anywhere, from a grocery store to a pharmacy. Well, if you're planning to try this method, DON'T! At least not like that.
I've come across plenty of testimonials from people who claim to have faded their scars using this method, but I've also come across many testimonials stating just the opposite: some people seem not only to have had no results by smearing Vitamin E on their scars, but also quite some negative results... such as redness, simple allergies and even contact dermatitis. In other words, the topical usage of Vitamin E will probably make your scars look worse than they already do. You may get the opposite effect if you're lucky, but then again... are you willing to gamble using your skin?

I wouldn't be. Actually, I've looked some hard medical data and I came across two studies; one is called "Understanding the actual effects of Vitamin E as topical scar treatment", and it was published in the Dermatologic Surgery Magazine (University of Miami) in 1999; the other is called "The Effects of Topical Vitamin E on the Cosmetic Appearance of Scars" and it was published in 2005 by the American Society of Dermatologic Surgery; these are just two out of dozens of scholarly articles you can easily find online, all of which point to the same conclusion: Using Vitamin E as a topical treatment for scars is a terrible idea, and you shouldn't do it.
However, it doesn't mean that Vitamin E doesn't play its role in scar treatment... if you know how to use it just right, that is! There are other ways to take a Vitamin other than smearing it on your skin, in case you haven't thought about it!? This little well-known secret is just one of the many things I've learned during my in-depth research on natural scar removal procedures. If you want to know more about my discoveries check out my blog, but I'll round up all the information for you here. An effective homemade scar removal plan must comprise 4 different angles:
1) Know the type of scars you're dealing with: Acne Scars, Surgical Scars, Facial Scars, Cuts, Scrapes, Burns or Stretch Marks; each type of scar calls for a different treatment and procedures.
2 ) Choose the right natural scar removal produt. I know at least 15 inexpensive and highly effective scar fading products you can get in your grocery store: aloe vera, honey, tomato, cucumber, lemon are just some examples. Each product works best in specific types of scars.
3) Use the right complimentary techniques for the products you're using. I know about half dozen complimentary techniques, such as specific massages, silicone sheets, and homemade microdermabrasion.
4) Make some crucial changes in your diet during the scar healing process: some good examples include drinking lots of water and increasing your vitamin E intake (as opposed to just rubbing Vitamin E on your scar tissue).
