Our verdict

A gradual sunless tanning lotion that builds color over repeated use, with vitamin E and aloe for hydration. It is a tanner, not a sunscreen.

Overview

Not a sunscreen or a tan accelerator, this is a sunless tanning lotion that builds color gradually. It adds vitamin E and aloe for hydration and carries a tropical scent from Hawaiian Tropic.

A gradual formula that lists a streak-free glow and a cure time on the spec sheet is the reason to look at it, in a large bottle. The limitation is that the shade depth and the exact build-up pace are not detailed, and the scent is strong.

Who it's for

Someone who wants a subtle, buildable sunless glow in a lotion will find the format easy to control. People who want dramatic color fast, or who avoid scent, should look at a different type of tanner.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Gradual build for control
  • Vitamin E and aloe for hydration
  • Listed for all skin tones
Cons
  • No sun protection listed
  • Shade depth not detailed
  • Tropical scent only

Performance notes

Self-tanning lotions work by reacting with the top layer of dead skin cells to darken them, so color develops over hours and builds with repeat applications. The listed cure time is how long the color needs before it is fully set. Even application and exfoliated skin give the most uniform result.
