Dr. Wang Xiaoyan
Vitamin E has some effect in removing pigmentation spots, but the specific results vary from person to person, and pigmentation spots cannot be treated by relying solely on vitamin E.
Skin-lightening effects of vitamin E:
1. Antioxidant effect: Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin and also an antioxidant that can inhibit the formation of free radicals, helping to reduce melanin production and deposition, thus lightening pigmentation spots.
2. Promotes skin metabolism: Vitamin E accelerates skin metabolism and promotes the renewal of skin cells, which helps fade existing pigmentation spots.
3. Protects the skin barrier: Topical application of vitamin E can protect the skin's barrier structure, promote normal pigment metabolism, and help prevent the formation of pigmentation spots.
