Yes. Make sure it's purest form. Use it by itself and 2 hours before or after any other topical.

Vitamin E oil is generally considered a natural remedy that some people with psoriasis use to help moisturize and soothe their skin. It's listed among other natural oils that can be used as an alternative topical option.

That said, as with any new product, there are a few things to keep in mind before diving in:

- Patch test first — Apply a small amount to a clear patch of skin and wait 48 hours to check for any irritation or allergic reaction
- Talk to your dermatologist — They can advise whether it's a good fit alongside any current treatments
- It's not a replacement — Natural remedies like Vitamin E oil are not a substitute for prescribed psoriasis treatments
- Watch for interactions — If you're using any topical medications, oils can sometimes increase absorption, which may affect how those medications work

If no irritation shows up after your patch test, it's generally considered safe to use more widely on affected areas.
