I have tanned my whole life....I know it's not good but it is what it is...I just have always loved the sun... now I am older I do go to the Tanning bed because let's face it...who has time and my body just can't lay on my stomach anymore lol... anyway all aside my face never tans as dark and I do cover it now with a towel...mostly at the bed...so it looks odd to have a lighter face...I have used many different face or body tanners just in my face though as I don't need it anywhere else and this works! I paid much more for top name brands and this got me glowing in one night! Product says 2 to 6 drops per how dark you want to be of course I just did the maximum of 6 and the next morning my face matched my body! The other expensive product I have did not do this...there is a slight scent but it's not bad ..I really don't care too much about that but do not care for smells that are way over powering as I know many people may be sensitive to this...I mixed it with a moisturizer too which is nice if you want to do both steps in one but honestly I like to do this ..let dry then do your p.m face moisturizer...I did all my other steps before this product i.e. serums oil etc...then tan drops...then let dry very important then my creams...works Great for me...size will last forever.....I can't give any tips for body but would imagine it works great as well ..just wash your hands well of course after application....
I tried this as a complimentary gift and first just let me say the drops smells phenomenal when you first put them on. After a few hours you do get that self tan smell but not as terrible as some others I have tried. My skin does feel great after applying but I didn't really see a change in color. I chose to apply the drops to my moisturizer on my face and directly to my skin on my right leg. You can barely even tell I put anything on my right leg and nothing on my left. However, as I said before, my skin does feel great! I know the drops are made with quality products to enhance your skin and that shows in the drops but I don't see much of a difference in color unfortunately. I will continue using the drops for now to see if it really does reduce redness. I have extremely rosy cheeks and would love for them to even out a bit and not be so red.

I think it worked the best when mixed with lotion first and then layer alone if you want more. I honestly would buy it just for the smell! (Not too fragranced coming from someone with eczema) worked great to contour my face! Definitely apply lotion when doing your hands and feet :)

You need 3-4 days and about 8 drops mixed in a small amount of lotion but the color looks good. Downside it's expensive and doesn't last long.. overall I like it though. It does get a little streaky on the hands and feet also. I would recommend this product

Got a sample as a freebie and love it for the "non self tanner days" mixes great with lotion or body serum and I don't lose any tan

I've been using st tropez express mousse for years. These face drops smell good. No self tanner smell. No break outs,skin does not dry out but unfortunately, I did not see a difference even when I applied directly on face without mixing w lotion.

Overall, I really like this product! I wanted a natural looking self tanner specifically for my face and this is the best thing I've found. I've used a variety of the st tropez body self tanner and really like them but they never looked natural on my face and usually have a stronger odor. This one does have a low odor -still has a faint self tanner smell but not overpowering. I like to mix it with serum or moisturizer for the most natural look. The consistency is good, it feels almost like a serum but when mixed with my other products it feels less sticky. I haven't had an "orangey" tone with this one like some others have. My skin is olive and I do tan naturally easily but I try to keep my face out of the sun as much as possible. Because of that my face is usually lighter than my body. I don't like to wear a ton of makeup in the summer so this product allows me to match my face to my tan body without so i can avoid trying to match with foundation. It's not streaky or splotchy at all. I have combo skin and when mixed with serum/moisturizer it doesn't pick up heavily on any dry areas.

Smells nice but hardly provides any color. I've tried the foam which is a better value for your money.

i have tried to give this product multiple chances, i swear the only place it gives me a tan is in between my fingers. I love all of st tropez products except this one!

I have combination oily and dry skin and im prone to acne with more oily products. This product makes me break out whenever i use it. the color is nice and warm but not worth it for me. I personally have gotten great results and no breakouts from using BaliBody face tanning oil. That one is great and hs niacinimide in it and does not clog my pores at all.

I have been tanning for years and these are the worst face drops I have used. They might give VERY minimal color but it comes completely off with one face wash. Way too expensive to not last longer.

I bought this product because I prefer gradual tanning over self tanners that develop deep color quickly (I find them more forgiving), plus I liked the idea of being able to control my level of tan. I range from very pale in the winter to a natural medium tan in the summer, and have neutral undertones. This gave me a very natural color that looked exactly like I spent a day outside, minus the sun damage. The only downside is that you have to use a good amount of drops to see a difference if you're using it to tan your entire body. I mix this with hempz moisturizer, and use 8-12 drops to six pumps of lotion for legs, and repeat for my arms/upper body. On my face, I'm able to get away with 2-4 drops mixed with serum. I'm not sure it's the most cost effective self tan for body for the amount of drops you need to use, but I like it for my face. It does have a scent, although I wouldn't say it's very strong. It reminds me a little of Jergen's daily glow, but slightly more sophisticated and it doesn't linger in the same way. I don't love it or hate it, but it is there.

10/10 BEST STUFF EVER!!!! Im super pale naturally and i used this for a wedding and it was PERFECT!!!! I did have to apply a few times but i think i was using too much moisturizer in the beginning. Im never using a tanning booth again!!!

this product leaves SPOTS on your body/ face. it does not make you tan, it makes you ORANGE. it also leave a smell that will make you want to shower every 5 seconds. i do not recommend this product whatsoever. unless if you want to look orange, then this is the best thing for you to get.

I always fear "fake" tanning products. This one was easy to use and didn't break me out. It's a nice bronze and doesn't have an orange hue. Wash your hands right after use or it will stain between your fingers which doesn't look good on anyone.
Heather from Michigan
I have very fair skin, so most products make me orange and just don't look natural! This stuff goes on flawlessly and looks amazing, no streaks or blotchiness and looks like a natural tone. I love it so much!

I bought these drops because I love St. Tropez's Luxe whipped self tanner and wanted to give this a try. I love it because it's not a tacky serum, it's light weight and smells nice. Unlike the mousse, it was difficult to determine where I applied the serum. If you are looking for a dramatic tan, this product is not for you. The color is nice, but not what I am used to. I feel like these drops are good for maintaining a tanned look, or for those looking for a little glow. If the drops were on a sale or at a lowered price I would consider buying but will probably just stick to the mousse in the future.
Waste of money from Atlanta
I'm an avid self tanner - I never don't have self tanner on. Recently, I've been using the Tanologist drops (should've stuck with those) and wanted to try something new. I've tried a few other St Tropez products that worked well so I had high hopes. I've given these drops a few tries to see if they'd give me color but I get absolutely nothing from them. They're a waste of money.

The self tanner I normally use is no longer for sale. I really wanted to find something for my face so I tried the St. Tropez Glow Drops. I was very pleased with the results. This will now be my go to!

First of all, let me start off by saying that I am a fake tanning enthusiast. I've been using fake tanners since the days of QT. Lol. My main concern is to hide all the ugly damage I did as a teen in the 1980's. So I want an even and fairly dark color. There is actually a young woman who does reviews and has a website that tries out all tanning products, both new and old and rates them. So previously I was using Tanceuticals which is her top pick many years going. Recently it seemed they changed their formula. I was on the hunt for better. I have used all the different Tanology drops, St Tropez (every single version including the one that smelled like marshmallows) Fake Bake, Bondi Sands. My list goes on. Thousands of dollars, no joke. I've used this twice now and I can tell you it is the real deal. You can use it as just the drops straight out of the bottle or you can mix it with a moisturizer. On my arms I used six drops and on my legs are used four.  Amazing natural dark results with no orange whatsoever. Plus it hides the pigmentation and spottiness from my damage. My skin looks smooth.  I'm going to continue using, and hopefully this is the keeper!

I am quite fair skinned and have had basal cell carcinoma on my face a few years ago, so I am very careful with sun exposure. I received a free sample of this serum and decided to give it a try. My face is VERY sensitive to any product changes, so I used 2 drops with my nighttime moisturizer one night...and waited to see if my skin would have any allergic reaction. The next morning I had a slight, warm tone on my face which was PERFECT (for me) and my skin did not react at all (shockingly). As I said, I am fair skinned and any color I my have on my arms is from incidental sun exposure (so I do not look tan, I just don't look "scary pale"). Just 2 to 3 drops of this serum in my nighttime routine a few days a week is all I need to give my face a slight tan and allows me to minimize my tinted facial products. I don't know if this serum would work as well for those with a darker skin-tone or for someone who really wanted to have a bronzing glow. But for me...it works perfectly.

Left absolutely no color.

I bought the St. Tropes tanning drops because Ulta does not sell my go to and I prefer shopping with them. Boy what a disappointment. First I mixed it with my normal moisturizer as I would normally do with my other tanning drops. I tried that a few times with absolutely no result. I added more drops with less lotion, and still nothing. Then I went directly to scan with drops. I used a quarter of the bottle with one application. Are you kidding me. This does nothing and smells like fake tan. So disappointed

I wanted to love this with all the great reviews but it doesn't seem to really do much for me. I have to use a lotttt of product to see any sort of small tint of color. I am light/medium complexion olive undertone but am pretty light in the winter. Maybe it works better for fair toned , i returned it
Missy from Chicago
St tropez does it again! I was sent this tanner gifted by St.Tropez. Giving my honest review it is 10x better than using a foam tanner. It's the exact same process but the serum goes on so much smoother and the tan develops just like any other self tanner! Big fan!
Kn3437 from Eau Claire
This product is amazing! I was having a hard time deciding what tanning drops to get just because I've never tanned before and was scared of being patchy. But this product does not do that at all! My skin looks like I spend the day at the beach. Love love love these!
