Opened bottles included. Eligibility terms apply.
Read the refund termsEstimates for your routine. Start with two drops per moisturiser portion and build gradually.
Face only, and not every night. One bottle goes a long way at this rate, so there is no sense buying two.
Face, neck and chest use more drops than the face alone. One bottle is estimated to last about 10 weeks for this routine.
Arms and shoulders use more drops. Two bottles are estimated to last about 10 weeks for this routine.
Whole-body use needs more drops. Two bottles are estimated to last about 6 weeks for this routine.
One active, one clock. It lifts unevenly and leaves you touching it up.
Two actives on different clocks, so the colour leaves the way it arrived.
Using one before the age of 35 raises the risk of melanoma by around 75%. The WHO files sunbeds in the same cancer group as tobacco. Drops colour the skin you already have and no lamp is involved.
Chasing colour in the sun, fair skin usually collects the burn instead: redness, sting, itch, then days of peeling that strip whatever colour you did get. Drops involve no sun at all, so there is no burn to sit through and nothing peels because nothing burned.
Skin sheds and rebuilds its surface roughly every four weeks, and it takes the colour with it. That is why a tan goes patchy on its own, and why drops are built to be topped up rather than started again.
Up to 90% of visible skin ageing is put down to UV, not to getting older. Lines, spots, slack skin. A tan out of a bottle costs your face none of it.
Calculated from the current three-bottle one-time price and an estimate of 70 applications per bottle. Delivery is extra where applicable. Actual use varies with the number of drops.

No. This is a cosmetic self-tan and contains no sunscreen. It gives you colour, not protection.
DHA and erythrulose, the two tanning agents, in a moisturising serum with a coconut fragrance. It is a liquid you add to your own moisturiser rather than a lotion you apply neat.
I used to get sunburns and hated bathing in the harmful UV light. Tanning beds got expensive.

One bottle, four depths
Depth is down to how many drops you mix in, not which bottle you buy. Start light, build up over a few nights.

A barely-there warmth. The one to start with if you have never used a self-tan before.
Mix into your night moisturiser and go to sleep. Nothing to wash off.

Properly bronzed. Worth doing the night before, not the morning of.
Exfoliate first. Knuckles, ankles and knees take colour fastest, so go lighter there.

Night 5Two actives on different clocks is what stops the colour lifting in patches.
Goes on thick in some places and thin in others, then lifts in patches on the way out.
Two actives on two clocks, so the colour comes up level and leaves the same way.
The thing people reach for when skin has had enough.
Doing what vitamin E has always been in skincare to do.
Keeps the formula pH balanced, so it sits happily with everything already on your shelf.
In for a smooth, moisturised feel on the skin.
In this formula for one job, and it is the most reliable humectant on the shelf.
A plant oil in the base, alongside the humectants.
Two sugars, on two different clocks. Here is what each one is doing while you sleep.
Shape, not measurement. One sugar finishes early and the other carries on. How deep you go is set by your dose, not by the clock.
Night oneDHA is a sugar. It reacts with the amino acids in the outermost layer of skin, the layer that is already on its way out, and that reaction is the colour. Nothing is dyeing you and nothing is going deeper than that.
Then, slowerErythrulose works the same way and takes longer over it, carrying on after the first one has finished. Two actives on two clocks is what the Duo in DHA-Duo means.
Every nightTwo drops or eight, into the moisturiser you already own. There is no fixed shade in the bottle, so you can go up a drop at a time instead of committing on the first night.

Two drops, mixed into your usual night moisturiser. Build up over a few nights rather than jumping straight to eight. Colour does not come off immediately, it fades as your skin turns over, but you can always add more.
Orange is a dose problem, not a mystery. It comes from too much product at once, sitting longest on the dry patches that take it up fastest: knuckles, elbows, knees. A fixed-strength lotion gives you one go at that. Drops do not.
No. This is a cosmetic self-tan and contains no sunscreen. It gives you colour, not protection.
There is a small amount of caramel colour in the drops, so treat them as tinted until they sink in. Two things help: you mix them into moisturiser rather than applying them neat, so the colour is well diluted, and a thin serum absorbs instead of sitting on top of your skin like a mousse. Rub in until nothing looks tinted, give it a few minutes, then dress or get into bed. Worth an extra minute on white or delicate fabrics.
Coconut fragrance. The scent can vary as the colour develops.
The tanning actives are DHA and erythrulose. Alongside those: glycerin, aloe vera, raspberry seed oil, vitamin E, hydrolyzed silk and collagen, coenzyme Q10, and a standard preservative system.
It is formulated to be gentle and moisturising, but every skin is different. Patch test on a small area first, and stop if it irritates.
