Reviews

Love it

"I tried the Gatineau Golden Glow Gradual Tan Face Serum for the first time. I love it, does exactly what it says, no streaks, just a beautiful colour, easy to apply over face and neck. My skin feels so soft for hours after applying. I also love that there's no patchy bits when you don't reapply, it just fades. It is a bit expensive but you know what you're getting and it works. I would definitely recommend and will purchase the larger tube next time. 5 stars from me 💜"

Vivian K. (5/5)

Groundbreakingly good.

"This serum is dangerous because it makes me look remarkably well-rested and healthy, which is a complete lie. It blends seamlessly into my skincare routine, leaves zero streaks, and gives the most flawless gradual glow. 10/18 stars if I could."

Kayleigh V. (5/5)

Golden Glow Face Tan Serum

"The serum is lovely and silky and really hydrating. It looked lovely on my skin and went a beautiful natural colour . I used the medium dark shade as I was on holiday and wanted my face to match my body. It is a lovely product and I will definitely keep using it."

Louise S. (5/5)

My new go to. Love it!!

"I've tried many face tanners and i'm usually deeply disappointed apart from 1 brand. I tried this as i love the gradual body tan and I have not been disappointed. This will be my new go to. It leaves your skin well moisturised without being greasy and gives a natural glow. A little goes a long way and you can build the tan gradually. If you already have a tan it helps it glow even more. Love it."

Kirsty W. (5/5)

Definitely a Golden Glow

"I’ve always been afraid to use tanning products, because of the Gatineau reputation I gave this a try, it worked for me. I only use one at the most two applications and it gives a really lovely light tan that friends have said just looks like I’ve had a few restful days in warmer climes!"

B T. (5/5)

Great buy

"Easy to use; not much of a smell and it gives a lovely tone you can build on if you wish. This cream has a good consistency and gives an even colour to your face without looking false. I love it!"

Carol P. (5/5)

Fantastic finish, givesa sun-kissed glow

"This is a fantastic product. I've tried tanning drops before and this is so much easier. Really light consistency and very easy to apply. Good that you can build the result. I tend to do two days and then skip one or two for a sun-kissed glow. Love that I can skip the makeup!"

Victoria L. (5/5)

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)

Makes my skin glow

"I absolutely love this product! I’m not the best at using fake tan products but Gatineau has been a game changer for me. I can use the serum with my eyes closed! It is so easy and never streaks. It leaves a beautiful light glow and blends beautifully. I won’t use anything else on my face"

Helen R. (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."
