Adding to this thread because it helped me loads, truly best of the best
Beta carotene is amazing, I've changed up the doses I've been taking of this stuff a few times but I'm on 38mg 63,333IU atm, been taking it for a bit over 2 months and my skin looks much better, really golden in some lights, will wait until the three months is up and adjust dosage accordingly
Worth noting to people using carrots that the plasma concentrations of beta carotene are much much higher after taking supplements than the equivalent amount of carrots, not sure what effect this would have on the glow but to be considered.
Astaxanthin did fuck all for me colour wise, I've been using tretinoin and got the rosy tret glow from that but it's only on my face where as I can see the carotene glow on my entire body. However astaxanthin gets faked a lot and the company was suspect so I've ordered some more from two different brands, will see what happens with that. High doses of carotene will also interfere with other carotenoid concentrations so that could also be a possibility of why i haven't seen effects
tretinoin/retin-a is great ofc highly recommend, but I've only been using for 3 months or so and can take a year to have full effects.
I will try lutein and lycopene at some point I think we have been too hasty in dismissing them.
