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 lotion is built to speed up the natural tanning process specifically in sunbeds, with an unscented, neutral formula that's vegan, free of palm oil and cruelty free. It's marketed toward deep and medium skin tones rather than very fair skin.

It comes in a 6.1 fluid ounce bottle priced at $33.99, positioning it as a premium option within the tanning accelerator space.

With 176 ratings averaging 4.0 stars, the review history is on the smaller side, but the listing currently shows more than 50,000 units bought in the past month, Amazon's purchase badge cap, which signals a recent wave of demand that its review count hasn't caught up to yet.

Pros

  • Vegan, cruelty free formula with no palm oil
  • Unscented, which suits fragrance sensitive users
  • Formulated specifically to speed color in sunbeds
  • Current purchase badge shows more than 50,000 units bought in the past month

Cons

  • 4.0 star average across only 176 ratings is a smaller, more mixed track record than some rivals
  • Built for sunbed use, so results outdoors may differ
  • Marketed mainly toward medium and deep skin tones
  • No SPF listed, so it offers no sun protection on its own

Performance notes

The formula is described simply as speeding up the natural tanning process in sunbeds, without a named active tanning ingredient, so its vegan, palm oil free sourcing and unscented finish are the main callouts here rather than a specific accelerating compound.

What buyers say

A 4.0 star average across 176 ratings is modest on its own, but the current purchase badge of more than 50,000 units bought in the past month, Amazon's cap for that badge, points to a sudden surge in popularity well ahead of its review count.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use this outdoors instead of in a tanning bed?

It's specifically formulated and marketed for sunbed use, so while it may still work outdoors, its intended purpose is speeding up color during sunbed sessions rather than beach or backyard tanning.

Does it have a scent?

No, it's listed as unscented and neutral, which is worth knowing if you prefer a fragrance free tanning product or find scented accelerators irritating.

Why does it have so few reviews compared to its purchase volume?

The current bought in the past month figure hits Amazon's 50,000 plus purchase badge cap, which suggests a recent spike in sales that simply hasn't had time to translate into a matching number of written reviews yet.
