What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing is inconsistent about facial use: the title and feature bullets say face and body, while the directions say to avoid the face, hairline and sensitive areas. Follow the pack directions and clarify intended facial use before applying. Apply to clean, dry skin, leave for 8 hours, then rinse. Reapply as needed for maintenance. The listing also pairs an 8-hour cure time with directions to rinse after 8 hours, without further detail on the distinction. Customer feedback is mixed on streaking, so even results are not assured.
Who is it for?
A good fit for
- People looking for a gradual self-tan with moisturising claims rather than a one-off instant colour product.
- Buyers seeking an apricot-scented 400ml lotion for gradual colour build-up.
Less suited to
- Anyone who needs confirmed guidance that this particular formula is suitable for facial application.
- Shoppers seeking a guaranteed streak-free result or an immediate tan.

Customer feedback highlights an easy-to-apply lotion, an agreeable scent and a gradual, natural-looking tan that is described as not too orange and lasting for many days. Reports on streaking differ, which matters if you need consistently even colour. The gradual-tan claims fit buyers who prefer building colour over time, but the feedback does not guarantee a particular result.
Positive themes
- Customers describe the tan as natural-looking and not too orange.
- Customers mention an agreeable scent, easy application and gradual colour build-up.
Mixed feedback
- Reports on streaking are mixed. Some customers say it leaves no streaks, while others report streakiness.
