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 combines a bronzer with a peppermint ice scented, hot and cold tingle effect designed for use in a tanning bed. The listed benefits are moisturizing, nourishing and radiant tan, and the formula has a 6 hour full cure time, meaning the color keeps developing for hours after your session.
It is paraben, SLES and SLS free, and the brand notes it is cruelty free and dermatologist tested, which are reassuring details for anyone cautious about what goes into a tingle formula. The 8.5 ounce bottle is a reasonable size for regular tanning bed visits.
A 3.8 star average across 110 ratings is a mixed signal, solid but not exceptional, and zero purchases in the past month alongside a note that only 12 are left in stock suggests current availability and demand may be inconsistent.

Performance notes
Tingle lotions like this one are built to increase blood flow at the skin's surface during a tanning bed session, which is the mechanism behind the warming, tingling feel. The bronzer adds visible color right away, while the 6 hour full cure time means the deeper color from the tingle ingredients continues developing well after you leave the tanning bed.
What buyers say
A 3.8 star average across 110 ratings sits in solid but unremarkable territory for this category, and with zero purchases logged in the past month plus only 12 units left in stock, current demand looks quiet compared to top sellers.

Frequently asked questions
What does the 6 hour full cure time mean?
It means the color from this lotion keeps developing for about 6 hours after you apply it, so the shade you see right after your tanning bed session is not the final result. Avoiding a shower or heavy sweating during that window generally helps the color set more evenly.
Is the tingle sensation from this lotion normal?
Yes, a hot and cold tingle feel is the intended effect of this type of tanning bed lotion, and it is a normal part of how these formulas work. If you are new to tingle lotions, easing in with a shorter tanning bed session first is a sensible way to see how your skin responds.
Can I use this lotion outdoors instead of in a tanning bed?
This formula is marketed as an advanced indoor tanning bed lotion, so it is built around that specific use case rather than outdoor sun exposure or as a no-sun self tanner.
