Reviews

Natural look

"Really liked this product. Although I’m quite fair other recommendations suggested getting the medium/ dark which I did as going on holiday and hoped would accentuate tan. I only needed a small amount and was a natural looking gradual tan no streaks or orangeyness!! Felt nice and light applying to skin."

Ellie L. (5/5)

Fantastic product.

"I purchased this after a recommendation and I’m not disappointed. It’s a light weight nourishing formula which develops into a natural glow. Only need to top up every couple of days to maintain the colour. Only slight criticism is that it does sit in my dry patches leaving a darker shade so moisturising your feet, elbows etc before applying is recommended."

Debbie B. (5/5)

I was a bit skeptical

"I was a bit skeptical but needn't have been. Goes on easily and smoothly. No sticky residue and feels nice and soft. I was worried about going orange however when my son came home from work he asked if I'd been sitting in the sun as I had "a nice glow" Doesn't go patchy even when fading. Good buy."

Kate W. (5/5)

Try me golden glow serum - excellent

"Try me gradual tan golden glow serum in light to medium. Applied at night. Following day subtle colour and no reaction to sensitive skin. Perfect for pale skin to build colour gradually. Will buy medium to dark for summer next as light to medium so subtle I need the darker one as have a bit of colour already."

Nicola R. (5/5)

Excellent Gradual Tan

"Love it. Suble tan which deepens with use. Makes your skin feel great. Can't fault Gatineau products, Superb skincare and the gradual tan is very effective, will definitely make it part of my skincare routine."

Margaret F. (5/5)

Great product

"Bought the tan and face creams and very happy with them. I have tried a number of fake tans previously and none have lived up to expectations. This one is really easy to apply , very little smell and produces a very natural looking glow . Will most definitely be repurchasing"

Claire M. (5/5)

Great product

"This is a beautiful, natural looking tan that has the added benefit of skin care. It’s long lasting too which I find some facial tanners don’t last. I bought the mini size to try but will definitely be buying the full size. Highly recommend this product."

Sue F. (5/5)

You can't go wrong. . .

"Over the years I have tried almost every gradual tan on the market. This is by far the best. Natural looking, non streaky, moisturising and buildable formula. There is no unpleasant 'fake tan' smell and no transfer to clothing once dried. I use both the face and body gradual tan and love both."

Amanda L. (5/5)

Pleasant on the skin but tan wise in affective.

"Very disappointed with the results. The cream was easily absorbed but can’t tell any difference in skin shade after a full week !"

ann b. (3/5)

Great facial product

"Love this gradual tan for my face. So easy to apply and no problem for my sensitive skin. Will definitely purchase again."
