"The best self tanner on the market, without a doubt. It does not streak and never looks patchy. I apply it like a body lotion all over. It does not have that horrid old biscuit tin smell. It does not stain clothes nor bedding. I apply it for three days in a row and then top up twice a week. So easy for a natural looking tan. I recommend it strongly!"
"I have been using this tan accelerating lotion for a few years now. I am fairly pale skinned and find that my colour comes up much more quickly on holiday using this product. It’s also very moisturising so I continue to use it after my holiday to help prolong my tan. I would definitely recommend this product."
"I first used this about 2 years ago, my previous brand had stopped doing theirs. Ive been using ever since, usually start applying around a month before my holiday. You really need to buy this larger size however i do take the tube on holiday for topping up. Ive always had prickly heat in a hot country but this has massively reduced the severity and for that alone its worth it, from a tanning point of view i do tan easier and really hardly ever burn (obviously using a good spf on holiday as well). I think the tan is deeper. I wouldnt not use this particularly on the run up."
"Not cheap, but definitely worth every penny. No nasty smell, and gives a fabulous even tan. I would not buy any other brand. Highly recommend this product along with the other Gatineau products I have bought"
"This is a hero product, one which I have used for many years. From the first application you can feel the hydration on your skin which lasts. Excellent quality and a reasonable price point. Love love love!"
"I use this all before holidays and throughout spring and summer. It leaves my skin feeling incredibly soft, smells gorgeous, and really helps me achieve and maintain a healthy, natural-looking tan. It’s become a staple in my routine every year."

"Very happy with this product as started using it two weeks before my holiday and my tan looks darker than usual. I use it after being in the sun all day and my skin feels very silky and moisturised. Would highly recommend"
"Recently ordered for my holiday. Used it before going and have to say I haven't burned at all whilst away in Turkey. Keeps skin moisturised after a day in the sun and I think it has helped with getting a nice golden tan. Defo buying again!"
"Very happy with my purchase. Lovely light texture moisturising cream that sinks into the skin. Definitely noticing a glow."
