Skipped Over and Seriously Powerful: 6 Ways Vitamin E Cream Transforms Your Skin
We know vitamins are great for our insides, but what about our outsides?
Vitamins can help our skin to thrive, not just survive.
But which vitamins should you be sure not to miss in your skincare routine? No doubt you’ve seen how many products are out there featuring vitamins of almost the entire alphabet!
Vitamin E cream deserves a spot in your skincare routine. Why? And how should you use it?
What Is Vitamin E? Your Skin’s Secret Shield
Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant. We hear the word “antioxidants” a lot in the health and skincare world. What are they?
Antioxidants are molecules that neutralise unstable free radicals in your skin. Free radicals come from sun exposure, pollution, or stress, and can damage skin cells.
Is Vitamin E Good for Skin?
You bet it is! By stabilising nasty free radicals, Vitamin E helps prevent inflammation, slow aging, and reinforce your skin’s protective barrier.
6 Benefits of Vitamin E for Face and Body
- Deep Hydration: Locks in moisture so your skin feels soft and supple.
- Damage Defence: Neutralises environmental stressors.
- Fine Line Fighter: Helps smooth the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Irritation Relief: Calms redness, irritation, and itching.
- Barrier Booster: Strengthens your skin’s protective layer to keep moisture in and irritants out.
- Tone Transformer: Smooths rough patches, evens out dark spots, and boosts overall skin radiance.
Hydration Heroes: Vitamin E Moisturiser
Should you use Vitamin E for dry skin? Absolutely!
Vitamin E moisturiser is a lighter-weight lotion that delivers Vitamin E hydration without feeling heavy. It glides on smoothly, absorbs fast, and layers easily under makeup or SPF, making it fantastic for daily use.
Vitamin E cream is a rich, thicker formula that creates a velvety barrier on your skin’s surface, locking in serious moisture. Use it as the final step in your nighttime routine to keep hydration levels high while you sleep. You can also apply it to dry patches of skin during the day, like your elbows or heels.
Pure Vitamin E Cream & Natural Vitamin E Cream: What’s the Difference?
It’s easy to be confused by these similar-sounding products.
Pure Vitamin E cream is a concentrated formula in which Vitamin E (usually as alpha-tocopherol) is the star ingredient. You’ll find minimal extra ingredient fillers, so you get a high dose of antioxidant protection in every dab.
Such a pure formula is usually found in targeted treatments from boutique or clinical skincare lines. Most skincare brands blend Vitamin E with other hydrators, oils, or actives to deliver a wider range of benefits in one step.
Natural Vitamin E cream is made with plant-derived Vitamin E and primarily naturally sourced ingredients. These creams steer clear of synthetic fragrances, preservatives, and colourants.
You can use both products or keep it simple and just use one—you’ll still get deep hydration, antioxidant defence, and a healthy glow.
Radiance Revivers: Vitamin E Serum & Vitamin E Oil
Vitamin E serum is lighter and usually blends water-based ingredients with Vitamin E to help the serum absorb quickly. Use a Vitamin E serum for face after cleansing and before your cream to target fine lines, dullness, or uneven skin tone.
Vitamin E oil seals in moisture and infuses your skin with a concentrated dose of antioxidants. Massage a few drops onto dry patches or mix into your moisturiser.
They’re a dynamic duo: the serum dives deep, and the oil locks in all that Vitamin E goodness.
Best Way to Use Vitamin E for Skin
Morning:
- Wash your face with cleanser, then pat dry.
- Gently rub a few drops of Vitamin E serum into your face.
- Apply Vitamin E moisturiser to your face and neck.
- If your skin feels extra dry, add a few drops of Vitamin E Oil on top of your moisturiser.
Night:
- Wash off makeup, sunscreen, and any buildup with cleanser.
- Gently rub a few drops of Vitamin E serum into your face.
- Massage Vitamin E Cream over your face.
- Apply Vitamin E Body Lotion over your body.
- Dab Vitamin E oil on any fine lines or very dry areas on your face. You can also add a few drops on top of your body lotion, focusing on rough patches.
Real Results With Derma E Vitamin E Skincare
We believe we have the best Vitamin E creams in Australia. But don’t just take our word for it!
Our product tester, Dani, aged 36, says:
“The first thing I noticed about the Derma E Vitamin E Cream (12,000 IU) was its silky texture. It glides on so easily. Then, I smelled a beautiful, soft scent from the cream’s natural oils—heavenly!I was curious what 12,000 IU meant, so did a little investigating.
Derma E explains: “IU (International Unit) measures biological activity, not weight. 12,000 IU delivers roughly 5.4–8 grams of pure Vitamin E (depending on the source)—an intensive but everyday-friendly dose.”
That dose made my skin feel fabulous! And because the cream is lightweight, I could wear it under makeup.
I also tried the Vitamin E Lavender & Neroli Skin Smoothing Shea Body Lotion, which contains Salicylic Acid and Alpha Hydroxy Acids to exfoliate dull, rough skin, as well as Lavender and Neroli to calm the skin.
My skin felt well moisturised after each use. And the lotion absorbs instantly, which I love, because who has time to stand around waiting for body lotion to soak in before getting dressed or jumping into pyjamas!
Love Derma E Vitamin E skincare!”
