What is it?
Combining a primer, bronzer and self-tanner into one product, it claims to instantly bronze while developing a more robust, sun-kissed glow in seven days. It also boasts a range of hydrating and anti-ageing ingredients, which delay cell ageing and firm the skin.
GHI expert verdict
The panel loved this multi-purpose tanner, which left faces with a radiant yet discreet glow. As it combines good coverage with tanning, many felt they didn’t need to pair it with foundation or concealer. It absorbed quickly into the skin and left a smooth, moisturising finish that felt “velvety”. The subtle colour was easily buildable, lasted for two to three days and didn't stain hands, pillowcases or clothing. It worked well mixed with moisturiser as well as on its own and has a fresh fruity floral scent, which scored a 3.5 out of five.

How we test
Over 80 testers helped us to assess seven brands of facial tanners. They evaluated the ease of application, the final tanning effect, whether it's patchy or streaky, and the scent. In the lab, we used a VISIA machine to test the tan's overall coverage.
