Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic

Seems that the white patches on your face are due to pityriasis alba which clinically presents as ill-defined, off-white colored, hypopigmented patches with some scaling.

They are commonly seen in those who have a dry skin.

I would suggest you to use a gentle cleanser for face wash rather than a soap, moisturise your skin twice daily and then apply a mildly potent topical steroid e.g hydrocortisone cream twice daily over the patches for 2-3 weeks. That usually makes the patches of pityriasis alba lighter

Evion capsules contain Vit E which is an antioxidant. Though it is considered to be good for the skin but topical application is not recommended because it being a fat soluble vitamin is not absorbed through the skin.

Vitamin E is absorbed through the GI tract therefore you should rather ingest Evion capsules
