# Beta-carotene

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/sa/ingredients/beta-carotene

The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for Saudi Arabia.

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](https://lovi.care/skincare/sa/ingredients/serum). Because of its adaptable texture, it layers easily into any daily skincare routine.
