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 is a mousse format tanning accelerator from The Fox Tan, positioned to help deliver darker, faster tans while keeping skin hydrated and looking vibrant. It is a departure in texture from the brand's more familiar liquid elixirs and mists, aimed at people who like a lighter, whipped feel during application.
It ships in a 6.8 fluid ounce, 200 milliliter bottle priced at 23.99 dollars, one of the more affordable options in this batch of tanning accelerators. The label does not list a specific skin type restriction, and it is described as suitable for all skin types.
With 285 ratings and a 4.3 star average, it has a moderate but reasonable review base, suggesting consistent enough results for people who have tried this newer mousse format.
Pros
- Mousse texture is lighter than oils or heavier lotions
- Hydration focused formula
- Reasonably priced at under 24 dollars
- 4.3 star average from a decent sized review base
Cons
- No bronzer or DHA, so it needs UV exposure to show results
- Newer format may feel unfamiliar if you are used to liquid accelerators
- Scent and cure time details are not specified on the label
Performance notes
As a mousse, this accelerator likely spreads and absorbs differently than the brand's liquid or oil based tanning products, with a lighter feel that some people prefer for daily use before sun exposure or a tanning bed session. Since it is an accelerator rather than a DHA based self tanner, any darkening depends on your own UV exposure, not on pigment in the formula.
What buyers say
A 4.3 star average from 285 ratings suggests a generally positive reception for this newer mousse format, with enough reviews to give a reasonably dependable read on consistency.

No, the listing describes it as a tanning accelerator focused on hydration, so it works alongside sun or tanning bed exposure rather than adding color by itself.
