   The beta-carotene in carrots will make your skin a pleasant tan (scientifically shown to be preferable to pale skin) but too much will turn you into the president. Also you're not really drinking retinol because in order to get enough systemic (ie: eaten, not topically applied) vitamin A, you have to literally poison yourself in a way that will cause birth defects, bone decay, and mental maladies. Called hypervitaminosis A and it's how accutane works. Another thing is that beta-carotene has to be converted into vitamin A, and your body will not do that if you have enough/too much. So you can't really get accutane from carrots anyway, and even if you did eat enough vitamin A to get skin benefits it's just a terrible and uncontrolled way of doing accutane that might cirrhose your liver. TLDR: It's harmless, but won't do anything except make u orange. Ingesting other forms of vitamin A for skin benefits is a bad idea.

   Vitamin A is a fat soluble vitamin. While a glass is probably fine, drinking several glasses of it could have serious impacts

   Beta carotene doesn’t endlessly convert into vitamin a, so whatever your body wouldn’t need is not going to be converted and used as retinol for your skin. Overdosing on actual vitamin a via other foods is just a bad idea. All that being said, a healthy diet full of vitamins, minerals, healthy lipids, etc will absolutely confer benefits to your skin bc it’s just good for your body. Just don’t expect anti aging miracles.

   " Retinyl esters and provitamin A carotenoids are converted to retinol after uptake into the lumen (for retinyl esters) or absorption (for provitamin A carotenoids). Retinol is then oxidized to retinal and retinoic acid, the two main active vitamin A metabolites in the body"

   No, vitamin A decreases as beta carotene increases. Also beta carotene and vitamin A are fat soluble, drinking carrot juice alone wouldn't allow them to be absorbed.
