Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 238 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the products for their natural-looking results, often noting that the tan develops into a beautiful, non-orange shade that fades evenly without streaking or patchiness. Many appreciate the pleasant scent, quick drying time, and non-sticky feel, which are common issues with other self-tanners. The products are also frequently highlighted for being gentle on sensitive skin, including those with eczema or psoriasis, causing no irritation or itching. Reviewers often describe the application as easy and smooth, leading to a flawless finish. Furthermore, the customer service team receives high praise for being incredibly helpful, professional, and quick to resolve any issues, enhancing the overall positive experience. However, some customers reported issues with the tan transferring onto bedsheets and clothing, despite claims of being non-transferable. A few other people also felt that the tan developed into an orange color or became patchy and scaly after a couple of days, requiring early removal. There were also mentions of the product taking a long time to absorb and remaining sticky, as well as some instances where the product came out green or did not develop color at all, particularly with the face drops and gradual tan.

Lovely fragrance and does not transfer onto bedding or clothes.

Amazing Product- Solskin Gradual Tanning Moisturiser

Completely new to Solskin, I've been following Carys Whittaker who recommend it and her colour always looks so perfect and natural I decided to try it. I'm absolutely amazed, so easy to apply, I used a tanning mit, it goes on effortlessly, smells lovely, skin feels so soft. My biggest issue with tanning is a sensory one. I cannot function with sticky products on my skin. But Solskin was anything but sticky. Dries in pretty quickly. I am super impressed. And then it develops over some hours to give the most natural even flawless finish after just two applications. Lasted days before I applied again. Absolutely gorgeous!!! Only using a week and I've ordered more already. By far the best tanning product I've ever used. So excited to be able have this flawless natural tanned look on a regular basis. Great job Solskin 👏 😁

The BEST tanning products out there

The BEST tanning products out there! I have several stretch marks from pregnancy and weight loss and as a fair skinned girl these are very colourful - SOLSKIN mousse is the most incredible formula, no streaks - I can leave it on for as little as 2 hours to get a light glow. This is my first time wearing a swimsuit in 10 years because it really does boost my confidence!

Really disappointing

Really disappointing.

Fell for the hype got the gradual tan. The moisturiser does not soak in and leaves you feeling greasy. Extremely streaky (used other gradual tans for years with no streaks). Didn’t like it that much I have got rid of both bottles I bought.

The only positive point of it is the smell, it does smell nice (maybe a bit too sweet)!

It's nice but lots is needed.

I bought the medium to dark lotion ans I have fairly pale skin but it took a good few applications for the tan to actually develop and see a colour change. But once developed it leaves a really lovely smooth golden glow. Once it starts fading it does go a little patchy and is a bit difficult to scrub off. And then takes quite a bit to build up again, the tube doesn't really last more than a month which is a bit disappointing.

I’ve been using solskin mousse and…

I’ve been using solskin mousse and gradual tan for several months now.

I found out about the company from seeing a social media influencer post about it and thought I’d give it a go as I was planning on doing my own tan for my wedding. First time using it and it went on perfectly (prepped my skin first - saved and exfoliated 24hrs prior and moisturiser). Continued to apply weekly for several months to practice and then did it 2 days prior to my wedding. It was perfect. The colour is so natural on my skin, it doesn’t go patchy or streaky, there’s not an orange tinge in sight and it fades wonderfully. I’ve had it on now since last thursday (got married on Saturday) and other than my knees which are a tiny bit patchy now (due to kneeling on the floor as we have a young baby) it’s still a perfect colour. It doesn’t fade tiger bread at all.

My knees took a bit of practice to get right but that was user error not tan - I just needed to apply moisturiser on my knees after applying the tan and it was fine! I find knees the hardest to get right with any tan to be honest.

The smell is lovely, no biscuit in sight. It will transfer a tiny bit as all fake tans do, but the transfer is minimal compared to other brands. I use the gradual tan every other day usually to maintain my tan where needed. I used very dark on my body and dark on my hands and feet and it was so even. It dries really fast so you don’t get that sticky feeling for hours afterwards.

It’s a bit of a scrub to get off sometimes but a good fake tan remover will strip it well with some exfoliating.

I will never use another brand of tan now, this is honestly the perfect tan. I had so many compliments on my wedding day about it.

Congratulations! We’re absolutely glowing just reading this (and not just from the tan). We’re so happy SOLSKIN got to be part of such a special day, and it sounds like you absolutely nailed your wedding prep glow-up. Here’s to many more perfect tans, happy knees, and zero biscuit vibes 🤎

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Unreal!

Used both the medium to dark Gradual Tan and the very dark mousse - both are INCREDIBLE. Gradual tan is not streaky, lovely colour, smells lovely, and really easy to apply. Mousse is a deeper tan, and again so easy to apply. And neither flare up my super sensitive skin!

Unreal review for an unreal glow. We’re so happy you’ve found your perfect duo - and even happier to hear they’re gentle on your sensitive skin. Here’s to endless good-skin days and tans that always hit just right 🤎

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Not worth the money at all…

I had such high hopes for this gradual tan moisturiser after seeing one of my fav influencers recommending it. However, I found that it did not deepen my tan, if anything it made me appear paler! It also does not absorb well into the skin at all… None of my other moisturisers sit on my skin like this, it makes me incredibly greasy & uncomfortable to the point I towel wipe it off. So disappointing as I bought two bottles to stock up!

Forget gradual tan

Forget gradual tan, this should be marketed as instant tan that gradually gets better! Much better! I'm 48 and this is the BEST I've ever used!

Natural gradual tan

I have the gradual tan in light/medium. No bad tan smell and it sinks in quickly. It gives a subtle, natural tan with no patchiness. Looking forward to using it regularly and building up the tan.
