Beta-carotene

Topical beta-carotene provides surface antioxidant protection against infrared radiation and fades melasma pigmentation intensity and lesion size. This gentle antioxidant suits dry skin and oily skin well, and it is most commonly found in lightweight serums. Because of its adaptable texture, it layers easily into any daily skincare routine.
