## Description

Product Description The ultimate lightweight body moisturiser with a gradual glow. This revolutionary oil/lotion hybrid has become a cult favourite, melting into skin upon application and delivering radiant, buildable color. The weightless, nourishing formula smooths and conditions skin while subtly dialling up a natural glow in just one hour. Formulated with hydrating and skin-boosting ingredients such as Raspberry Seed Oil, Vitamin E, and Aloe Vera, plus Caffeine-rich Cellutone Complex to help skin appear firmer. Ingredients Aqua (Water), Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Propylene Glycol, Dihydroxyacetone, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Dimethicone, Erythrulose, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E Acetate), Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe) Leaf Juice, Rubus Idaeus (Raspberry) Seed Oil, Melanin, Xanthan Gum, Benzophenone-3, Benzophenone-4, Lecithin, Caffeine, Palmitoyl Carnitine, Parfum (Fragrance), Limonene, Geraniol, Hexyl Cinnamal, Benzyl Salicylate, Tetrasodium EDTA, Glycerin, Caramel, Benzoic Acid, Phenoxyethanol, Dehydroacetic Acid Directions Apply to the skin as you would a normal body moisturiser, lightly covering hands, elbows and feet. Thoroughly wash hands after use. Begins to develop in just an hour. Apply daily or as desired to build a tailor-made tan. Safety Warning For external use only.

Review: Natural-looking easy fake tan with minimal effort - I bought this after reading a very favourable Which? review, and wasn't disappointed. I would recommend it for anyone wanting a light, natural- looking tan, rather than a very deep/dark one. Couldn't be easier to apply: it's thin, goes on just like a moisturiser, so no need for a mitt, and after 2 hours you see the finished colour, which can be darkened by another application. Very slight perfume, not intrusive, and colour seems to fade naturally after a couple of days. I only used it for legs, but because it's so easy to apply and control intensity of the colour one coat at a time, I believe it could be used with confidence on any other areas. Really happy with the product and you only need a small amount each time, so very economical as well. A real winner, though not for those seeking deep colour.
Review: Great product - Really easy to use, smells lovely and a little goes a long way, gives a nice natural looking tan

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Should this lotion be watery**
A: It is a lotion rather than a cream or mousse so yes I believe it should be a thin liquid. I didn't like how the smell developed, but it went on okay.

**Q: Does it wash off when you bath**
A: No, it does not wash off. You put the lotion on and leave  it on for a few hours (I leave it overnight) and it develops a really beautiful golden tan colour. It does not come off on your sheets either and it lasts a long time. It also wears off very well and not patchy. I love this stuff!

**Q: Once opened, what is the expiry time please.**
A: I have opened it one summer and used it again the following year and it was still good. Just keep it sealed tightly

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product
*by H***E on 27 September 2025*

Really easy to use, smells lovely and a little goes a long way, gives a nice natural looking tan

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product and looks natural.
*by C***K on 10 November 2024*

Really liked the ease of application as it soaks in your skin. Exfoliate first though. It gives a natural colour overnight. It did give a slight telltale smell of fake tanner but after trying most of them, still have yet to find one that doesn't despite many of them saying there is no smell. I leave it on overnight and shower in the morning and find that the fake tan smell is barely traceable. Best fake tanner I have used so far in 10 years of using lots of different brands.
