Does tocopherol cause acne?

Because vitamin E is oil-soluble, vitamin E in pure oil form can get deep into pore and cause breakouts in oily or acne-prone skin. If you have oily/acne-prone skin, use a product that combines vitamin E (normally listed as tocopherol) with other ingredients—preferably vitamin C.
