How long does it take to see noticeable changes in skin tone with Beta-Carotene & Astaxanthin

[Nims]

I've been taking 50,000 IU (30mg) of Beta Carotene & (8mg) Astaxanthin for 9 days so far and have yet to see significant changes in my skin tone.

Does anyone have any experience with these supplements am I taking a sufficient dosage and if so how long does it usually take to see noticeable improvements in tone?

Thanks.

i tried astaxanthin but didn't do shit, beta carotene works though, took like 2 months or something but I used 100'000 IU daily now I use 25'000

Ok thanks.

I'm still going to use Astaxanthin until the bottle is empty but do you have any suggestions/experience on things to take instead of it? Is lycopene better?

Yeah Lycopene is better and I currently use it as well, hard to tell if it works but anecdotally it seems to work better

Fat grafting also tends to provide a lightening effect too

Lightening creams + PRF treatment is also goated
