Overview
The Fox Tan Rapid Vanilla Custard is marketed as an advanced melanin boosting tanning accelerator, formulated for use during sunbed and outdoor tanning sessions. It comes in a cream form with a vanilla scent, and niacinamide is named as a key ingredient supporting the formula's melanin boosting positioning.
Beyond the tanning accelerator function, the product is described as radiant tan focused while also moisturizing, hydrating, smoothening and nourishing, and it's formulated for deep skin tones per the listing. It's sold in a 150mL size.
At $23.99, it holds a 4.6 star average, a strong result, but that score is based on only 15 reviews, a small sample compared to more established products. The bought_last_month figure of 50,000 suggests a high current purchase volume despite the limited review count so far.

Performance notes
Niacinamide is named as a key ingredient in this formula, aligning with its melanin boosting and moisturizing positioning. Because this is designed as a tanning accelerator for use during sunbed or outdoor tanning sessions rather than a sunless self tanner, color development here depends on actual sun or sunbed exposure rather than the product alone.
What buyers say
A 4.6 star average is a strong early signal, but with only 15 reviews it's a much smaller sample than most other products in this lineup, so it's worth reading a few more reviews before relying heavily on the rating. The bought_last_month figure of 50,000 points to a high level of current purchase interest.
