The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other women's everyday face care: moisturizers, face mists, facial kits, rollers, cleansing brushes and steamers we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
This dry oil spray is labeled for dry skin and a medium deep skin tone, with a soothing benefit and a paraben free, antioxidant formula. It comes in an 8 ounce bottle and is priced well under most other tanning oils in this category.
As an intensifier rather than a base tanning oil, it is meant to help boost or maximize color on skin that already has some tan, not to protect against sun exposure or deliver a sunless self-tan. There is no SPF listed, so it should be paired with a separate sunscreen if protection matters to you.
With over 20,100 ratings and a 4.6 star average, this is by far the most reviewed product in this roundup, a strong signal that it has been a long running, widely purchased favorite.
Pros
- Over 20,100 ratings, the largest review base in this lineup
- 4.6 star average holds up at real scale
- Budget friendly price under ten dollars
- Paraben free and antioxidant formula
- Soothing benefit for dry skin
Cons
- No SPF, so it offers no sun protection on its own
- Labeled for medium to deep skin tones, which may not suit those just starting to tan
- Dry oil spray format may feel different than a lotion for those who prefer cream textures
Performance notes
As a bronzing intensifier, this dry oil spray is formulated to help maximize or deepen color on skin already exposed to the sun, rather than to build a tan from scratch. The soothing and antioxidant claims support comfort during sun exposure, and the paraben free formulation is a straightforward ingredient claim rather than a performance one. With no SPF listed, it is not a substitute for sunscreen.
What buyers say
With over 20,100 ratings averaging 4.6 stars, this is the most reviewed product in this self-tanner lineup by a wide margin, and the score holds up well even at that scale, suggesting broad, consistent satisfaction among a very large buyer base.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a base tanning oil or a color booster?
It is marketed as a bronzing intensifier, meaning it is meant to help maximize or deepen color on skin that already has some tan rather than serve as a starting point tanning oil.
Does this spray contain sunscreen?
No SPF is listed for this product, so it should not be relied on for sun protection. Pairing it with a separate broad spectrum sunscreen is a sensible approach.
Why does this have so many more ratings than similar oils?
At over 20,100 ratings, it is the most reviewed product in this category, likely reflecting a long time on the market combined with a budget friendly price that has made it an easy repeat purchase for many tanners.
