It causes no nasty side effects, as the ingredients are natural and not harshly chemically synthesised. It doesn't make skin a noticeably different colour, but I did notice a better quality of tan after a week in the Egyptian sun - nice even smooth glow. Of course it's hard to tell if this supplement did that, but compared to how I usually tan, it is an improvement.It's best taken over the summer months for an extended period of time, so your body can get used to the introduction of lycopene, beta-carotene and lutein - the chemicals derived from Marigolds that give yellow flowers and carrots their colour - without attacking it as a foreign substance. These tablets do work to some extent in the same way beta-caerotene was used in Sunny D and turned all those kids yellow back in the 90's - but it was used on a MUCH larger scale then!
