Highlights

Suitable for

All skin types including oily, sensitive, dry, maturing skin, and any skin looking for a summertime glow without the skin damage.

Why we stand behind it

This multi-correctional tinted serum is created to intensely hydrate the skin, delivering super antioxidants to the skin while providing the added benefit of a gradual sunless tan for a healthy radiant glow.

The innovative formulation is powered by Super Antioxidants—Chebula and Astaxanthin—to help combat skin aging and inflammation and provide maximum hydration. Additionally, the formula offers protection against environmental pollutants and aggressors—such as blue light.

Key ingredients

Cosmos/Ecocert-approved DHA and erythrulose (both derived from fermented keto-sugars): Builds a natural tan, with a streak-free finish, without the risk of sun damage.
Chebula and astaxanthin: Super antioxidants that help combat skin aging and inflammation, and provide maximum hydration.

What is an undertone?

An undertone is the color beneath the surface of your skin, which never changes (even with a tan). There are three types of undertones:

Pink/Cool

I see red or pink undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin burns easily, but barely tans.
My skin looks better in silver jewelry than gold.

Neutral

I see both pink and yellow undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin sometimes burns and sometimes tans.
My skin looks good in both gold and silver jewelry.

Yellow/Warm

I see yellow or golden undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin rarely burns, but tans easily.
My skin looks better in gold jewelry than silver.

Usage

For best results, exfoliate skin prior to use. To achieve the maximum color, dispense a pump or two into the palm of your hand and spread evenly across face. For a more gradual approach, mix two to three pumps into your moisturizer and apply to face. It will take approximately two to four hours for tan to develop. Additional pumps will augment the color. Apply daily to sustain and maintain your glow. Always remember to rinse hands after application.

Reviews

Great color

"I’ve been using this for years. Adds just a touch of color with no orange glow. Doesn’t last long but it gives a pretty natural sun kissed appearance."

Julie W. (5/5)

Better than non-clean products

"This is more natural looking and not orangey"

Alyssa S. (5/5)

"Im not sure that I would repurchase. Ive been using for a few weeks and the smell is so strong upon application. I was hoping for less of that fake tan smell."

Whitney (4/5)

Very Disappointing

"I really wanted this to work - the reviews were great but the results were bad. Basically no change in shade, no bronze effect. It essentially does nothing and doesn't smell that great."

Elissa B. (1/5)

Light color but smell and shine

"Did see color but smell and shine & made me shiny. Didn’t match my skin tone. It’s ok but wouldn’t buy again for this price point"

Hannah L. (3/5)

Best Sunless Tan product

"I am very fair, and after trying a plethora of prodcuts over the years, this is by far my favorite. I mix it with moisturizer and it provides a subtle, never orange, gradual tan."

Emily I. (5/5)

Works great!

"This goes on smoothly and definitely gives a sun-kissed appearance. I mix it with my moisturizer."

Hillary N. (5/5)

Subtle -healthy glow

"Gives you a healthy glow and a more even skin tone. Absolutely love this product. Does not transfer on pillow case or clothes. I use it at night. A few times a week. The little bottle lasts me a long time."

Margarita D. (5/5)

Worked like a charm

"Worked like a charm for a little color in the middle of Winter. I have fair, sensitive skin and was happy with my results on the first application."

Brenda M. (5/5)

So worth it

"Really good serum"

Fiala (4/5)
