This serum comes in a clear plastic bottle with a pump. It smells lovely, quite a tropical scent that doesn't really have the usual self tanning smell. The serum feels nice going onto my face and I think it did make my face glow. I didn't notice a huge tanning effect - I think the tan is very light and needs to be built up if you want to do a strong tan. I like the light tan effect as it means you can build it up without worrying that you'll look like a tanning disaster! Overall a really nice serum, but if you want a strong tan, I'd go with another self-tan.

Reviews
I have to admit to being a touch nervous trying this product. I could see self-tanning my face going very wrong, and unlike the body, it's a lot harder to hide a self-tan fail in that area. Luckily, I had nothing to worry about. This serum performed above and beyond expectations.
The scent is lovely, and there's no hint of the chemical self-tan smell I recall from previous attempts at tanning my body. It felt lovely on the skin and sunk in quickly. (I used by fingers to apply, rather than the mitt, just so I could get into the nooks and crannies.)
By the end of the day my face looked nice and glowy. I've been topping the tan up every few days and there's no streaks or patchiness to be seen. This is a must for winter if, like me, you miss your naturally sun-kissed skin.
This will last a long time, but I will definitely repurchase, and I definitely recommend.
Tips: Wash hands after applying.
Absolutely in love with this serum. It feels like a luxury serum that also give a natural tan at the same time. The packaging is beautiful, it smells great and feels super expensive. I normally use a face tan water but I much prefer this as it is way easier to manage as a serum to apply rather than to try and quickly get tan water onto your face. It is one of the nicest serums I have used, it applies beautifully my skin feels instantly smooth, soft and hydrated and stays that way for hours. It gives a natural bronzed tan as well, I would say you could safely apply every two days as the tan seems to fade semi quickly especially with face washing. It does however fade evenly. I will 100% be repurchasing.
Tips: Don’t forget to wash your hands after applying as it is still a tan product even though it doesn’t feel that way.
Absolutely beautiful product, would 100% buy again
Pros - super light didn’t feel greasy at all - beautiful colour (like serious glow) - colour was subtle but is buildable which is perfect for the face(no Oompa Loompa in sight) - great product to include in morning routine
Cons - don’t really have any to be honest - slight fake tan smell but not as bad as the mist
As someone who has been using face tan waters for quite a while, I was very excited to trial a bronzing serum. The serum itself is wonderful and makes my skin feel very moisturised and refreshed. The smell is divine and light and tropical. My only wish is that the bronzing aspect was a little more noticeable as I didn’t really get the tan/glow I expected from the serum.
I love this! I love that it's a hydrating serum rather than just a tanning product, so you're getting the best of both worlds. It's not patchy like other tan waters I have tried. It gives you a natural glow, so much so, that some days I don't even wear foundation, and I'm an Estee Lauder double wear kinda gal, so that speaks volumes! BUT it's a natural looking glow, which is perfect! And if it couldn’t get any better...the smell is just divine - which is rare with false tanning product.
I was lucky enough to be picked to trial this serum and the body mist. To be honest….I was scared! Lol. I normally never tan my face, because I don’t want to look like an oompa lumpa. However, this does not make you orange (than god!) - like the description says, it gives a subtle bronzed appearance. It’s very natural. I love the fact that it is a serum, as it’s light weight. I applied this every second night - 1 pump mixed in with my night moisturiser, and I am so happy with the result. It has given me a nice and healthy glow…it’s stunning! Another bonus…it didn’t break me out! Which normally happens when I introduce a new product.
Tips: Exfoliate and properly cleanse and tone before applying, for an even and gorgeous glow!
Can highly recommend this product. I am always skeptical to try new face products. This is just amazing! Love the bronzing effect which gives your skin a “natural” glow look. I have a sensitive skin, but this is really gentle. It also smells amazing on top of it all.
I love this serum, it has a really uplifting smell, like a tropical fruit punch. It made my skin feel so soft and it doesn’t leave a heavy sticky feeling on the face like some serums or facial tanners do. I prefer a darker tan so I wouldn’t use this product alone as it gives a very light natural glow. I used it underneath my facial tanning drops, as it was abit too light for my preference. This is a good product to use to top up your tan or help extend it. I really enjoy using this product and will definitely keep using it and also repurchase
Tips: For a deeper tan, use underneath your fake tan or tanning drops
I had never used a face serum tanner before, as was quite worried it may go wrong and I'd be streaky or orange etc. However, I loved this serum. It gave a lovely sun-kissed glow to my face with no uneven coverage. Easy to apply, dries instantly and whatever was left on my hands I just rubbed into them. Too early to say whether the vitamins are working, however, I'm loving the healthy subtle tan it is giving my face. It also has a lovely scent and is in a cute convenient sized bottle. Will definitely keep using this product !!
Tips: Use leftover serum on your hands as doesn't streak
