Vitamin E is not associated with crystal formation on the skin, but individuals who are suspected of having allergies or who are sensitive to vitamin E should avoid using skin treatments that contain the vitamin, according to the Mayo Clinic.
Use
Vitamin E is known for its antioxidant properties and has been thought to reduce scarring on skin caused by cuts and acne when applied directly. Vitamin C is known to leave crystals on the skin after application, not vitamin E.
Side Effects
Skin reactions known as dermatitis and eczema have been reported after using vitamin E skin ointment and cream treatments, but crystals on skin are not associated with the vitamin.
Dietary Sources
If you are not comfortable with direct skin application, consume foods that have vitamin E. Some foods E include eggs, fruit, green leafy vegetables, olive oil and whole grains.
