Australian Gold Dark Tanning Accelerator, 8 Fl Oz Review

Our scorecard

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 cream is labeled for all skin types and tones, with a moisturizing benefit and a tropical scent, and it is listed as a natural formula. It comes in an 8 fluid ounce bottle at a price on the lower end of this category.

As a dark tanning accelerator, it is meant to be applied before or during sun exposure to help support a deeper color rather than to deliver an instant sunless tan, and it does not list an SPF. The cream texture sets it apart from the many oils and sprays in this roundup, which may appeal to buyers who prefer a thicker, more moisturizing feel.

With a 4.5 star average across 879 ratings, it has a solid, established reputation, and its accessible price point makes it an easy addition to a regular sun care routine.

Performance notes

As an accelerator cream, this product is built to support the tanning process during sun exposure rather than to change skin color directly. The moisturizing benefit and natural formula claim point to a comfort focused formula, and the cream format delivers a thicker, more emollient feel than the oil and spray options common in this category.

What buyers say

A 4.5 star average across 879 ratings is a solid, dependable score, reflecting a product that has built a steady following even without the largest review count in this lineup.
