What are the benefits of Vitamin E?

In topical usage, Vitamin E is a staple for protecting the skin's barrier, locking in moisture, boosting glow, and reducing signs of aging. Vitamin E is also widely known for its antioxidant benefits that protect skin from free radicals. The stable ingredient creates a conditioning layer in order to protect and seal in moisture, leaving skin soothed and soft and securing around-the-clock hydration. Vitamin E increases skin's ability to hold water and ultimately prevents dry, dehydrated skin. A protected barrier ultimately reduces signs of aging such as fine lines, dullness, and uneven texture.
