Most Helpful Positive Review GLOW ON THE GO! This product is truly unique, versatile, and unlike anything you have ever used before. This is a two in one , self tanner & skin care serum. AMAZING isn't even the words! I have permanently added this to my skin care routine. First I lightly exfoliate & wash my face. After that, I either apply this directly to my face or dilute it by adding it to my moisturizer. In just a few hours my skin is radiant & glowing, yet not over the top and NEVER orangey or fake looking. My skin feels so soft and hydrated from the added hyaluronic acid and vitamins. Not only does this perform well, it smells amazing to! Summer in a bottle is the only way to describe it. I use this in conjunction with the Purity Vitamins Body Mist by St. Tropez and always get so many compliments! I love that I am able to make self tanning as easy as throwing on a serum in the morning or night and I'm done! This product is truly a new staple in my skin care routine & I promise it won't disappoint!
Most Helpful Critical Review Overly fragranced and orange *I received this product as a complementary sample*
I have been wanting to try a sunless tanner for my face for quite some time. Living in the mountain west means I see very little sunshine during the winter and I really miss that summertime glow. I was really excited about this serum but unfortunately it fell short for me.
The smell. Whew. Can we just all agree that not everything needs to be scented? Added fragrance does nothing for your skin and can be sensitizing and there is a lot of fragrance in here. The scent of this product gave me flashbacks to those cheap body sprays that were all the rage when I was in middle school; offensively fake and fruity. Fortunately, the scent dissipated fairly quickly. Unfortunately, I was then left with that very distinctive fake tanner smell that lingered all day.
While labeled a serum, I would actually call this more of a gel. Going off the description I was expecting a thinner, oil type product with a silky feel. This was sticky to the touch. My face was tacky well after application. I also did not find it hydrating at all, likely due to the HA in the formula and my low humidity environment.
Once the color developed I was left feeling more ompaloompa and less bronzed goddess. I was glad to see a lot of the color washed off with my morning cleanser. But, in the name of science, I reapplied after my AM skincare routine to give it another chance. Still too orange, still too scented, still drying, and this time it left me with little whiteheads all over my face.
I'm exceptionally grateful I received this as a free sample because the price tag is jaw dropping to me for a product that provides no actual skincare benefits.
A very generous 2 stars. The color, while orange, was fairly even and the ingredient list is pretty clean for a sunless tanner.

Loved the color it gave me but contains the ingredient PEG40 which causes cancer. I'll get my vitamin d and c the healthy way.
Does Nothing 1
Dagmar from Massachusetts
It dried out my skin and I did not like that it has fragrance. Did not give any tanning results even after 2 applications in a row, with and without moisturizer. I am going back to my Clinique self tanning bronzer that is fragrance and oil free!
Didn't see a difference at all 2
Stacey from Cheboygan MI
I used this daily for a week and saw no difference in color. I gave it two stars because it doesn't make my face break out and it seems like a decent serum. Just wish it would work like it is supposed to. Very disappointed.
At least it smells good? 1
Kk from Texas
I L O V E the regular bronzing mist this brand has! I thought this would be the same with the added benefits of being vitamin infused... WRONG! Did not do anything for color (my face and neck don't tan like the rest of my body..?). I've used it maybe 3x just to see if I was doing something wrong. The last time it pilled and came off my face about like elmer's glue or a peeling sunburn.. thank God it was nighttime! It does smell the same as the original, so I hoped it would be the same.. I really wanted to like it!
Yes I'm going to continue this product!! 5

I like the color it gives, & the texture. I wish it gave more moisture.. my skin was slightly dry if iv I did not use other products!
Very subtle 5
Annette from Michigan
Easy to apply, no streaking no patches, very subtle color def not even medium. I would call it light. Nice to use and be able to skip makeup. No smell at all
Like this serum- a lot! 4
Tee from NJ
I like to use this in the am for a brightening effect - it's a gradual lightly tanning product but I do see the color develop during the day. It feels a bit tacky when first put it on. Great for sensitive skin Leaves a nice glow, and smells really good.
Moisturizing & glowing skin 5
Ericka from Avon, IN
This product smells amazing & feels good on my skin. It does not stain my hands, the color is very gradual.
I would likely buy again 4

I have enjoyed this product, I was very nervous to try it as my skin tends to break out. Thankfully this has not caused any break outs that I can tell. My skin is not a fan of wearing a mask so I think most of the acne I have gotten has been more so because of that. But timing wise both were new and happening about the same times. I like to use this in the morning instead of moisturizer. I was finding my previous moisturizer was making me oily about 1:00-2:00 pm ( this was new to me in cooler months so getting into warmer ones it wasn't working as well) I don't find I get very oily at all through out the day which is really nice!
Now... with the "tanning" color aspect. This does not really do anything to my face for color. However I was with BPA face wash and I use retinol at night. I am really not to surprised that this is not able to build color on my skin. But I love the way it feels, I love the way it moisturizes and I am happy with it regardless. When you have skin that can break out and you find something that works its such a win. This is the only reason I give it one star. I wish it had a little more color oomph.
Application- it can feel slightly sticky at first I have it a second and then put on my sunblock that I have used as a primer for over 10 years so silky smooth.. and then my foundation and all of that goes on well with no issues. And it feel perfectly fine and comfortable from then on out!
I would recommend this product.

Made my skin a little brighter but no tan
Meh. 1
Jb from Richmond, va
Super disappointed. I even put an excess amount in hoping to get some color. The tinted moisturizer is better, that's what I usually get but they were out so I opted to try this one. Definitely returning
amazing! 5
megan from colorado
I love this!! It's super lightweight, smells amazing, and very moisturizing! I put it on before my makeup with a little moisturizer and primer and it gives me a great glow! 10/10 recommend.
A great face tanner for a natural glow 5
JC from ID
A very good natural and buildable face tanner.I just add a drop or two to my moisturizer at night and it really creates a nice natural glow, its buildable but doesnt seem to get that dark, which is fine with the suble self tan color I usually use. If youre someone who likes to go extra dark im not sure it would work as it does stay super natrual. Havent had any streaking or orange tone problems at all!
Did not notice change in color 1
AP from Kentucky
The first time I used the product I mixed with my moisturizer because I was afraid of having too much color, I noticed no change in skin tone. Next application I applied straight and still did not notice a change in tone.
Goes on very easily and feels great and light on your skin! 4
Morgan from Pittsburgh, PA
Only have to use a small amount to cover your face/neck area so it will last a while. Has a good smell to it and applied very smoothly and dries almost instantly. Makes my skin feel smooth. Provides the subtle, gradual and natural looking tan to your face.
Amazing product 5

Did not make my face tan at all, will stick to my isle of paradise tanning drops
Wouldn't buy again 1
Ashley from Maryland
This product has a nice smell and is non greasy, but it gave me no color which is the whole reason I bought in the first place. I wouldn't buy this again and will most likely be returning.
This product is wonderful! 5
Lover of pretty! from Northern Nevada
i Put this on at night, I wake up with slightly darker skin. Not orange and not too dark. It helps hide any scars from breakouts, and for me helped to clear my skin thanks to it being full of vitamins. LOVE ❤️ this product. It's better than getting wrinkles!
I would purchase this again 5
Jay from California
I like this product. I have to build up to the color I want and then I apply 2x a week after to keep it up.
Wasn't impressed 2
Emily from Tampa, fl
Used every day for over a week and never noticed a difference. In my opinion, wasn't worth the money. The only good thing I can say about the product is it has a nice smell and isn't heavy
Perfect serum! 4
Angela from Boston
Love this serum! Didn't make my skin too oily or orange! Very light and clean
I liked it when I used it but I will not be repurchasing 3
Casey W from Boston, MA
This product is super easy to use. I put it on at night but found this hard because it would turn out blotchy from what I assumed came from me rolling around on my pillow. It was too greasy to use during the day and does not mix well with the sun. Although it was alright when I used it, I will not be repurchasing
Surprisingly really good! 5
Rav from Riverside
The product works great! I was a bit skeptical at first but once I used it I loved it!
It was okay 3
Janice C from Iron Mountain, MI
It did give my face color, but it turned out more orange and less natural, given I am very pale. Smells great like the body spray and has a much easier use, but my skin felt pretty oily afterwards.
