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.

Overview
This oil is formulated for dry skin with moisturizing, nourishing, rejuvenating, smoothening and softening benefits, wrapped in a citrus scent. The brand lists a 30 minute set time, meaning it's designed to absorb and set relatively quickly once applied.
It comes in a 3.72 fluid ounce bottle, on the smaller side for a $34.99 price point, and the formula is mineral oil free with a certified organic material feature.
With 304 ratings averaging 4.3 stars, it has a solid but modest track record, and current monthly purchase volume is on the low side, suggesting steady rather than explosive demand.
Pros
- Organic, vitamin E enriched formula
- Citrus scent
- Moisturizing, nourishing and rejuvenating benefits for dry skin
- Mineral oil free
- Fast 30 minute set time
Cons
- No SPF listed, so it needs to be paired with a separate sunscreen
- Small 3.72 ounce bottle for the price
- Modest review base of 304 ratings
- Formulated mainly for dry skin, which may feel too rich for oily skin
Performance notes
Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant in this formula, and the organic, mineral oil free base is meant to moisturize while you tan rather than sit on top of skin. Since this is an accelerator, it works alongside real sun exposure to help speed up color rather than producing a sunless tan on its own.
What buyers say
A 4.3 star average across 304 ratings is a solid, if modest, result, and low current monthly purchase numbers suggest this is more of a steady niche pick than a runaway bestseller.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be in the sun for this oil to work?
Yes. This is a tanning accelerator, so it's designed to be used while you're getting real UV exposure outdoors, not as a sunless, no sun alternative.
What does the 30 minute set time mean?
It refers to how long the brand says the oil takes to fully absorb and settle into skin after application, which is useful to know if you want to avoid it transferring onto clothing or towels right after applying.
Is this a good choice for oily skin?
It's formulated with dry skin in mind, so the moisturizing, nourishing benefits may feel heavier than what oily skin needs. A lighter formula may be a better match if your skin already runs oily.
