Just got beta carotene 25000 iu , some questions about it

[newperson]

i have white-paleish skin that tend to get sunburn
and i heard that to maximize beta carotene u need to be exposed to the sun - is that true or just taking the pill daily without exposing to sun is enough?
another question, can that make me not getting sunburn?
and i also have tretinoin 0.5 if thats somehow related.

last question, how long does it take to see any changes? is it legit or cope

I don't know if it's legit or cope, I've yet to see someone get results, maybe @larsanova69 did? but he also experimented with fake tan so idk
I personally tried 25000 ui everyday for two months and saw no results
There are certain studies that proved that betacarotene helps to provide protection against sunburns but if your skin is very pale and sensitive I would still get protection

Not necessarily. I maximized my skin tone without much sun exposure when I started to take beta carotene.

I took 2 softgels daily throughout this period (after roughly 2 months I started to see results) and 4 softgels daily for a couple of weeks after that (although I don't recommend the latter dosage, it could be toxic at this point and I only did it to speed up my results, but it did work).

Beta-carotene is very legit (with results)

I met up with my best friend last Saturday (I had not seen him since early March, mind you) and he asked me if I had been tanning due to my skin looking significantly more reddish/orange (I used to be kinda pale tbh). However, I never did, it was purely down to the fact that I've been taking...

For the remainder of 2020, as well as during the early stages of 2021, I lowered the dosage back to 2 softgels daily again.

Nowadays, I do get more sun exposure so I only take 1 softgel daily, which also seems to be a sufficient dosage to maintain a good skin tone.
