In 1999 Dermatologic Surgery published a study that stated using a topical solution of Vitamin E oil on scare tissue during the healing process provided no benefits with regards to reducing the appearance of scar tissue. Not only that, but a large part of the group in the study actually had scars that were MORE noticeable after vitamin E treatment.

Antioxidants such as vitamin E are great treatments to use for scar treatment but you may want to look to other sources than vitamin E oil.
