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.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Patchy, Yellow, Tacky. Would not recommend.

Heavily influenced by the frequent Instagram partnerships and decided to try the gradual tan in medium/dark.

Wanted to love it, given it 2 fair goes and built it up over 3 days. I always use a mitt, exfoliate before first application, moisturise elbows/ankles/knees before and after app to prevent grabbing and to be honest, I am a fairly confident tanner (both mousse and gradual).

This product is awful. I am so yellow. There's no glowing, it's not dark and the patchiness is mortifying. It hasn't taken at all on my chest but totally grabbed at the sides? Elbows are luminous orange. It is just a mess.

I have sensitive skin and eczema but I don't see how this is any better than any other product and to be honest, I have always been fine with Bondi Sands and St Tropez so will go back as soon as I csn scrub this off.

Another note, it is so sticky. I felt tacky for HOURS. I even stood in front of an industrial fan trying to will the tan dry as it was still tacky after 30min and I needed to get dressed.

Just a hard no. Really disappointing but now I think about it, none of the influencers I saw included close up before and afters and I suspect this is why.

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. We’re truly sorry this was your experience, as it’s not the glow we want anyone to have with SOLSKIN. Our team has already been in touch, but you can also drop us a line at hello@solskin.com - we’d love to chat this through and make things better 🤎

Great product!

First time using Solskin and I don’t have a bad word to say. It smells so nice compared to other tanning products, it’s so simple to use (I have the gradual moisturiser) and it gives the loveliest, most natural-looking glow to my otherwise see-through skin (the curse of being a red head). 10/10

I love SOLSKIN Gradual Tan

I love SOLSKIN Gradual Tanning Moisutiser! It applied perfectly (like silk!) and doesn’t transfer to clothes or bedsheets. The light to medium colour that I use gives you the most natural golden colour on your skin. The best part is it doesn’t leave residue on the palm of your hands. Delivery is also always very prompt! Thank you ☺️

The best tan!!!

Hey!! I’ve been using Solskin for a few months, I suffer with really bad hives and flare ups of eczema. Solskin has never irritated my skin and gives me an amazing colour that everyone always asks about!!! I love the way it fades too and there’s a lot less transfer onto clothing then other brands of tan, this is my absolute go to and I wouldn’t reach for another one!! 🤍

could not ask for a better fake tan then solskin, coming from a girl who has faked tan most of her life and getting rashes from every fake tan i’ve ever used this is the only one that has never irritated my skin. 100% recommend this product. Perfect glow, so easy to apply and over all makes your skin look amazing.

This is the best gradual tan I have used and I have used a lot so even it has a slight smell but it’s not bad . I have had skin cancer and am not aloud in the Sun so this makes me happy to actually find a cream that gives a all over tan 🥰

Love the mousse… lasts longer than any…

Love the mousse… lasts longer than any other tan I’ve used and actually makes my skin feel softer and not itchy and dry like others. The colour is perfect too. Recently tried the gradual tan which I also love and may be converted to use instead of the mousse as it’s so easy to use and very moisturising too.

Don’t believe the hype, smells like biscuits and glows orange

Don’t believe the hype. The dark tan has a strong fake tan smell. It’s super orange (and I washed it off after 4 hours, can’t imagine what it was like overnight) and it went patchy and streaky. I’m a veteran of fake tan so I know how to apply, but usually use St Tropez, tbh even St Moritz was better than this. Sad because I had heard good things and it left me looking like an Oompa Loompa and smelling like a biscuit for my 30th birthday night out. Not cool and never again!

Sold!!! Converted!!

I am a fake tan girly who has been fake tanning for the last 16 years. I thought I would try the solskin as I have seen it around and I have been dying to find a tan that doesn’t have a green undertone. The undertone to this tan is beautiful and I am so glad I have found it! I’ve had this three weeks and feel I have given it a “proper” test wearing it twice and removing it to test how well it removes and how it fades. The tan is as long lasting as my coco and eve which I had been previously using due to longevity however disliked the green undertone.
I can confirm that this tan fades SO WELL!!! which is really important to me as I hate the patchy tan when it starts to fade. I moisturise everyday and was still experiencing patchiness with other big brands. In these past few weeks using solskin I have even REDUCED the amount of times I am moisturising to only a few times to test it and it has made no difference to the fade of the tan.
Removing the tan surprisingly came off so easy using exfoliating gloves, even without a fake tan removing solution. Previously I have to use a solution AND scrub my skin multiple times! I love the smell and feel after I have washed the first layer off. Usually even after washing the first layer I will still feel it on my skin/get hot quicker etc but with this I can’t feel anything after the first wash. Another benefit is this product is made for those with sensitive skin in mind and I have really sensitive skin sometimes and have suffered with dermatitis in the past. I also purchased the tinted moisturiser to keep my tan topped up to make it last longer.
I am 100000% converted and this is now my new tan!

Best product on the market!

I've been self-tanning for years and SOLSKIN is by far the best product on the market. The smell is incredible!! I've even worn it out and people have complimented the fragrance!! The colour is such a gorgeous natural glow, I'm obsessed!!

I applied the product last week for two nights to build up a glow and it is still going strong. I have very sensitive skin and have had no reaction to the gradual tan. The team are lovely and helped when I had made an enquiry about this product and eczema. Could not recommend any more
