Can I use Cocoa butter and vitamin E for scars everyday
Or will I get more break outs .. I hope not . I'm using benzoyl peroxid
so my acne is under control but i have got some small scars left behind and want to get rid of them fast .
From where i live i can only get cocoa butter from body shop . and get the vitamin from a heath store .
Here is someone who said that works within 2 weeks using cocoa butter and vit e :

The vitamin e should not cause more breakouts, it’s absorbed by the skin pretty quickly. The cocoa butter just might. Neither really is a miracle worker, and the cocoa butter really hasn’t any effect on scarring either. The vitamin e is useful to assist skin healing though, and will give you the best shot at helping them fade. If they are deep scars, like small pits- the vitamin e will not help much either. Meantime, just use the benzoyl peroxide on individual spots, not all over the entire face. That can set up secondary irritation and infection and just cause more problems. For spots that are healing, vitamin e is best. Cocoa butter is a lubricant, nice for dry skin and to add moisture to skin- not a good choice for an oily face.
