It also offers anti-inflammatory properties to soothe irritation, aids in skin repair for scars and wounds, and can help reduce hyperpigmentation and improve overall skin tone. Antioxidant Protection: Fights free radicals: Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that neutralises free radicals, which are harmful molecules that can damage skin cells from exposure to UV radiation and pollution.
