Formulated with plant-derived carotenoids, plus copper and vitamin C. Each ingredient plays its own role in achieving a warmer skin tone.
Beta-carotene
The pigment behind the warm orange color of carrots, bell peppers, and pumpkins. Carotenoids are the yellow to red pigment class in nature; beta-carotene is the most common one in food. Fat-soluble, so you absorb it during a meal with some fat.
Lutein
A golden-yellow carotenoid pigment, also present in green leafy vegetables, where it is hidden beneath the green chlorophyll. Related to beta-carotene and naturally often found in the same foods.
Zeaxanthin
The yellow to orange pigment that naturally occurs alongside lutein, for example in corn and bell peppers. Lutein and zeaxanthin form a fixed pigment duo in food.
Bilberry extract
A bilberry extract, naturally rich in anthocyanins, the purple plant pigments that give bilberries their deep color. A botanical addition to the carotenoids in the complex.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the functioning of the skin and helps protect cells from oxidative stress. One dose provides 75% of the recommended daily allowance.
Copper
Copper contributes to normal skin pigmentation and helps protect cells from oxidative stress. An essential trace mineral primarily obtained through nuts, shellfish, and whole grains, one dose provides 100% of the recommended daily allowance.

Most routes to warmer-looking skin work on the outside, and as a result, the results rarely last long or are simply harmful. AURIEN does the opposite and builds up carotenoids in your skin.
On day 1, take a photo of your face. On day 60, take the same photo. We’ll put them side by side.
We dare to do this because it works. On one condition: you take it every day. No difference between photo 1 and photo 2? Then you get your money back. In full.
