I have to say I am so happy you do youtube videos!

@raspberrypineapple If you would read ALL the comments (including the one right above yours) before responding, you will see that the Dr beat you to this by a day. It doesn't make you look any better jumping on everyone's comments when they have been addresses by the Dr. ALREADY. And he answered it without spazzing out like you.

What about vitamin e oil? I heard vitamin e is good for scars and is an antioxidant as well, so I was wondering the benefits of using this for my forehead? I am currently using this and seeing small gradual fading after two weeks.
