- Q
I am 67 and some self tanners make my wrinkles more pronounced. How is this product for aging skin?
- Asked by Sherice
- Official Answer By COOLA - Brand EngageCOOLA's Sunless Tan Anti-Aging Face Serum is formulated with skin-loving ingredients like hyaluronic acid and plant-based DHA to help provide a natural-looking glow while offering hydration and anti-aging benefits. Many of our customers with mature skin have enjoyed the subtle, buildable color and how it doesn’t settle into fine lines. Because every skin type and texture differs, we recommend doing a patch test or trying a small amount first to see how it works for your skin.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Is this OK to use in combination with topical acne medication?
- Asked by Mel
- Official Answer By COOLA - Brand EngageWe recommend consulting with your doctor regarding the use of any COOLA products in combination with your specific medication.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Does this have a colour guide
- Asked by Mandy
- Official Answer By DO NOT USEThis does not come with a color guide, however, the formula is very buildable. Once your sunless tan has fully developed you can apply additional layers to deepen your glow. Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Will this wash off every time I do my morning/night time skin care routine?
- Asked by Taylor
- Official Answer By DO NOT USEWe definitely suggest allowing this formula to fully dry and set your tan, which can take around 6 hours to develop fully. Washing your face will fade the tan, however, you can reapply at any time before moisturizer or makeup to keep your glow. Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
If you use a moisturizer, do you apply the face serum before or after applying a moisturizer-Or does the serum act as a moisturizer itself? Also, how long do you wait in between applying the two?
- Asked by Madison
- Official Answer By DO NOT USEWe suggest applying a moisturizer on top of the Sunless Tan Face Serum and only after the Sunless Tan Face Serum has completely dried down. Applying moisturizer too soon after application will fade the overall tan that develops, however, reapplying will help to deepen the glow. Alternatively, you can mix both your moisturizer and Tan Face Serum together during application for a very gradual tan to develop. Was this answer helpful to you
- Q

i would like to know how to use this with my serums? before or after? i use c and a haluronic and niacinamide serum in the am after exfoiliating serum. would this come next before sunscreen and foundation? want to know the best way to incorporate before spending this amount. my previous face tanner is being discontinued
- Asked by kassy
- Verified Reply - Brand ExpertThe Sunless Tan Anti-Aging Face Serum can be easily incorporated into any skin care routine and layers well with other products. It can be included during any part of your serum step and will work effectively to give you a golden tan, however we suggest making to sure to allow each step to fully absorb and dry before applying your next serum. For a deeper tan, we suggest trying this serum alone as layering other serums may dilute it slightly.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Hi, I have used this serum in the past and really didn't notice a difference in my skin color. I was using it every morning but was my face at night. Would washing your face later in the day remove the color? What is the maximum color you can achieve when using this serum?
- Asked by Steph
- Verified Reply - Brand ExpertFor best results, avoid water, sweating, or swimming for up to 6 hours for your tan to develop. This product works by developing and tanning the top layer of skin and fades with daily showering and exfoliation. You can achieve a deeper glow by applying this product in layers, so applying an initial layer in the morning, allowing to set, and then applying a second layer will give you a boost of color for the day with enough time to enjoy your glow before your nightly skincare routine.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q

- Asked by Kimberly
- Verified Reply - Brand ExpertOur Sunless Tan Serum is designed to tan skin for an overall even appearance. It should not darken the areas of hyper-pigmentation more so than other areas.Was this answer helpful to you

Works better then any other face sunless tanners I've used!
I've tried quite a few different sunless tan face lotions. None of them seemed to really. I am in Love with this product though! Works well and the color is prefect with my olive skin tone. When I purchased it I received a free gift from Coola. It was coola's mineral sunscreen, natural BB cream. It ...

Great product but no tan?!
I bought this because it gets great reviews and I am a fan of coola. I've been using this for about a week, but there is not enough color to call this a self tanner. My face refuses to tan so it's pale and I use self tanner to keep color, but this product produces hardly anything. Don't get me wrong...

Perfect tan
Perfect in every way!
Excellent
I love everything I've used so far by COOLA I don't usually use self tanner but im so glad I grabbed this one and used for about a week before my trip to Tahoe. I mix one pump into my nightly moisturizer and let the magic happen overnight! I now have a sun kissed glowing face that matches the rest of my body :)
✨ Loveee the glow ✨
See my previous review, easy 5 stars so far!
I love it!
My skin is absolutely glowing after one application. Add the NARS light reflecting foundation & a little setting powder, some blush, and you're literally golden ☺️✨
So Disappointed
I gave it 2 stars because the ingredients are clean. Unfortunately this left my skin extremely dry and provided very little color.
