Overview
A rapid tanning accelerator cream formulated with niacinamide and a vanilla custard scent, made for sunbed and outdoor tanning sessions aimed at deep color development. Sized at 150mL, about 6 fluid ounces, for repeat use.
The formula leans on niacinamide alongside its melanin-boosting claim, positioning it as a step up from a plain tan-extending lotion rather than a self-tanner that colors skin on its own. It is meant to be applied before or during sun or sunbed exposure, not as a substitute for UV or DHA-based color.
- Niacinamide-based accelerator formula
- Vanilla custard scent
- 150mL (6.07 fl oz) size
- Formulated for deep skin tone results
Who it's for
Suits people who already tan outdoors or on a sunbed and want a cream that supports and speeds that process along, particularly those chasing a deep tone. Not a fit for anyone looking for a sunless, UV-free tan, since this works with light exposure rather than replacing it.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Formulated specifically for deep-tone tanning goals
- Vanilla custard scent for sunbed sessions
- 150mL size supports multiple applications
- Requires UV exposure to work, not a standalone self-tanner
- No listed SPF protection
Performance notes
As an accelerator rather than a self-tanning lotion, results depend on the UV exposure it is paired with, sunbed or sun, since the cream does not contain a color-developing agent like DHA. The moisturizing and hydrating claims point to a base built to keep skin comfortable through repeated tanning sessions.
