Crystal Tomato® is a skin supplement and product line – including the Whitening Supplement, Skin Clarity Cream, and Beyond Sun Protection – that is naturally derived from a unique breed of non-genetically modified white tomatoes known for their antioxidants. It is a popular choice for individuals seeking a more natural option to enhance skin whitening, reduce pigmentation, and improve overall skin health.

1. Natural Sun Protection: The Whitening Supplement contains naturally derived ingredients, such as colourless carotenoids such as phytoene and phytofluene, which absorb ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) rays, helping in reducing sun damage. However, this is not a substitute for topical sunscreens.
2. Skin Brightening: L-Cysteine plays a key role in stimulating glutathione production, which supports cell repair and maintaining skin elasticity. This combination is associated with reducing dark spots and brightening complexion, possibly benefiting those with hyperpigmentation, including conditions like melasma and uneven skin tone.
3. Antioxidant Effect: Glutathione is known to protect the skin from pollutants, free radicals, and toxins, which can help support overall skin health.

In 2013, a study conducted by the National Skin Centre in Singapore found that Crystal Tomato® Whitening Supplement significantly reduced the Modified Melasma Area Severity Index (mMASI) and melanin index of 44 melasma patients compared to the placebo group, which received the standard "Triple Topical Therapy." These results indicate that the supplement may help lighten melasma and reduce pigmentation, offering a more natural option for managing hyperpigmentation.

Crystal Tomato® Whitening Supplement contains natural ingredients such as colourless carotenoids and L-Cysteine, an amino acid naturally present in the body, making it generally well-tolerated with no known significant side effects. However, individuals allergic to tomatoes should avoid this supplement. As always, it is recommended to consult a doctor before starting any new supplement if you have concerns.

For optimal results, Crystal Tomato® recommends taking one to two Whitening Supplement caplets daily after breakfast. Visible improvements in skin brightness and texture may be noticed within 2-3 months of regular use. However, results may vary depending on individual skin conditions and lifestyle factors. It is advisable to consult your doctor regarding the appropriate dosage for your situation.
