St. Tropez Purity Vitamins Face Serum

As a fair person who tends to go yellow from most tanning products, I was a bit skeptical to use the St. Tropez Purity Vitamins Face Serum, but I quickly learned that there was nothing to worry about!!! I would describe this as a smooth, gently fragranced serum that is a light and easily absorbed into the skin. I used 2 pumps for my entire face, it glides on seamlessly and leaves your skin feeling beautifully soft, after 6-8 hours a light, natural looking colour develop, no yellowing and no blotchiness.

I wasn’t really sure how this serum would go for me, I’m very pale and sometimes tan can look very fake but this gave me such a gorgeous healthy glow after only one use. It was nice to the touch, went on beautifully without being sticky or oily. The smell was pleasant (not like tan at all) and it made my skin feel lovely and soft. The colour is subtle, and I think this will be perfect for getting me through winter without looking like a sickly Victorian child, and to top up my natural glow in summer. The size is good and will last ages as a little goes a long way. The rrp was a little concerning at the start but when I thought of it as a skin product and not a tanning product I definitely would purchase for the price. No need for brushes or sponges with this either as it goes on perfectly with your hands. Just be sure to wash the residue off your hands after application!

Thank you Beauty Review for this trial. I really appreciate it. This is a product I have never used before so I was super interested in trying it. I was nervous and excited about using this serum because you have to be ultra careful when applying this, as it is your face and everyone will see if you are not too careful when applying. I used the mitt from the same brand to apply this serum to my face. I found it went on smoothly and evenly. I applied it in a certain way to ensure my whole face was covered. I applied some to the part of my neck that always has a light patch from when I have been driving into the sun. I was most impressed with the coverage. I felt I did a great job to get a nice even coverage. After applying, the colour develops over a 4 - 8 hour period. My skin felt soft and had a gorgeous healthy glow that has been missing due to our lack of a real summer this year. There were a couple of days that I actually went withiut a lot of make up. I was very impressed with the ingredients, 93% naturally derived ingredients and a lovely subtle scent. It is also vegan and cruelty free. The bottle is also recycled.

The facial serum is beautifully presented in a clear 50ml pump bottle with tropical tones and silver accents.

I do love being able to see how much product remains, however the instruction label was very small and very faint - I found it hard to read.

The serum itself smells amazing, like a peach cocktail. It is a clear gel like consistency, and 1-2 pumps is sufficient to smooth over the face and neck.

It absorbs within minutes, though the delightful smell remains and skin feels a little sticky for a short time afterwards.

I applied the serum before bed and noticed by mid morning a slight glow starting to appear. By afternoon my face definitely had an all over glowing bronze tint!

I was pleased to see the tan looked natural and even, it was not overly dark or orange and lasted approx 4 days.

It was easy to apply and such an outstanding result within hours - I feel this will be a staple in my weekly routine for a glowing boost and highly rate this product for facial tanning.

What a serum! Felt beautiful on my skin and smelt amazing , it gave me such a nice glow on my face. My face is naturally very very pale and this gave me the perfect colour that i felt comfortable to not need bronzer on on my makeup free days.

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

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 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.

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.

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.
