Harnessing the traditional know-how of ancient Chinese medicine, each of these capsules are made with herbs that are known to regulate the functions of the body’s internal organs. According to traditional Chinese medicine, normalising the functions of the liver, kidneys and spleen meant that blood circulation all over the body will be boosted. As a result, this will increase the amount of nutrients skin cells receive, thereby reducing dark spots and uneven skin tone and creating a brighter and plumper complexion.

But what makes Crystal Tomato Carotenoids different from other carotenoids found in other oral supplements? According to a study published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, while carotenoids are found throughout the body, Crystal Tomato Carotenoids have the highest accumulation factor in the skin.
