Do carotenoids actually work?

I’ve been looking to get more tan because I have to wear spf 50 every day because of acne treatments, and I’ve been trying to drink carrot juice and eat tomatoes but that shit is nasty should I just take supplements or is it not even worth the results?

maybe supps? im not sure as im not talking from experience, research the chemical compound of something like mt2 and then find a product that shares its properties

I just eat like 3 carrots a day and I've been doing it for 2 weeks or something? My mom commented yesterday that my skin looks better which seems like a good indicator because I didn't tell her about the carrots. I have however also been controlling my gut health for a couple weeks by eating no sweets or snacks + downing a bunch of kefir.

It’s definitely not because of carotenoids they take at least 4 weeks of consistent consumption with fat to see minimal changes and full effect takes 8-12 weeks

Just take beta carotene and lycopene. Without injecting or fake tan that's pretty much as close to a realistic looking tan as you can get.
