You will begin to see results around the 4 hours, but your tan will continue to develop for up to 24 hours after application.

    Better than expected

    I was SO hesitant to order this. I’ve ordered multiple $40+ face tanning options and have always broke out. I have rosacea so extra sensitive. So far, no major skin issues from using this product. I’ve used it for about a week and so far I really like it. I got the medium to dark and mostly just use 1 drop mixed with moisturizer and color is not overwhelming. Was worried it would be too dark but extremely light glow. Will likely ramp up drops during summer months. I recommend this product for sure!

    Wonderful product

    It’s always a little nerve wracking trying a tanning product. But the face tanner was so easy to use, I used the light/medium face tanner with dropper and my hands. Within 24 hours I had a nice glow! So easy to apply, easy to blend, and a nice subtle colour!

    Still new but great so far

    I've only used the tanning water about 4-5 times and so far so good! I did forget to wash my hands well the first time and that looked ridiculous for a few days lol.

    I'm acne prone and hope this doesn't cause any issues for me... fingers crossed!

    Surprisingly Good!

    I was a skeptic. But it really works! I apply a night after washing my face and have a nice color in the morning. Used the light medium and it is perfect. Looks natural.
