Drew Barrymore has been hitting our screens since way back when. And while the queen of the silver screen has turned her talents toward hosting and producing, the star still has some major pearls of wisdom to be shared.
And when Drew talks beauty, we listen. She is the founder of a budget-friendly beauty brand after all! And the makeup-chair aficionado isn’t afraid to spill her beauty thoughts, sharing everything from her fave beauty products, to summer must-haves and even the beauty tool that she swears by. Which coincidently pairs perfectly with her ‘can’t live without’ skin-loving skin care ingredient.
But what is this Drew-loved skin care must have? Let’s find out…
The Skin Care Ingredient Drew Barrymore Loves
While Drew loves to utilise her own platforms to show off her beauty hits, she recently spoke to Byrdie and took the opportunity to drop all her skin care secrets.
Growing up in the makeup chair and realising the harsh impacts of beauty standards, Drew made a conscious effort to never end up a “prisoner to unrealistic beauty expectations”. In doing so, Drew chose to go down the minimalistic route. And while she always “remains diligent” about her skin care she knows that she only focuses “on the essentials”.
As she’s aged, Drew has found her skin becoming crepey (relatable). And though dehydrated skin comes with age, Drew’s solution has been to turn to “slathering on” some vitamin E whenever she “need(s) a moisture boost”.
See, what’d we tell you?! You probably already have the anti-inflammatory ingredient sitting amongst all your other skin-salvaging serums. And if not, pick up a (budget-friendly) bottle and see the hydrating results for yourself.
And while vitamin E might be her newest impactful ingredient, she credits “a giant smile” as her most-used beauty helper. Why? Because it makes her feel good. We’re taking notes here Drew.

Do you use vitamin E oil? Do you take celebrity skin care advice?
Great idea, I will definitely consider it
Seems the old Vitamin E is back, was used a lot years ago.
Interesting – I used a lot of vit E growing up.
I don’t have a problem with it, but I’ve never looked out for Vitamin E particularly.
Whatever works for oneself I guess. She is lovely
Plunkett’s VitaE is in an affordable price range. I must give it a go.
It is really nice to use too.
I use the Plunkett’s Vitamin E cream and I’ve also used the oil.
I’ve never really found that Vitamin E does anything for my skin but each to their own
I do love Alpha H products.
Vitamin E sounds great, I have some Alpha H Vit E, I must use it
VitE is awesome
I use it. It helps heaps
I’ve only used it in body lotion and that was it
Vitamin e was so big 20 years ago. All the women in my family used it. I believe new research clinical shows it doesnt do much
I get confused with all the products I should use??
Love Drew!
Vitamin e is one beauty item I haven’t got, although I have used it in the past.
Yeah, but now there is collagen Vitamin E is old school.
Vitamin E in skincare is one of my zit triggers, so I avoid it.
I’m just shaking up my routine and vitamin E seems like an affordable ingredient that’s simple but effective.
I used to take VitE tablet supplements; wonder if they were good for the skin too
Blistex has always been a good product
I have the ALPHA H vitamin E serum and its definitely one of my go to’s for the colder months when my face gets dry
