Garnier Summer Body Gradual Tan Moisturiser Deep, For A Radiant Sun Kissed Glow, Suitable For Face & Body, 24 Hour Hydration & A Natural Even Tan, Fast Absorption, Vegan Formula, 400ml

Used this for over 5 years now and it’s great! Gives you a nice subtle glowy tan. Doesn’t cling to dry areas and create patches. And smells good too !

I’m absolutely loving the Garnier Summer Tan Moisturiser! This product gives me the perfect, sun-kissed glow without the hassle of sunbathing. The formula is smooth, lightweight, and absorbs quickly into the skin, leaving no greasy residue behind — just soft, hydrated skin. What really stands out to me is the natural, gradual tan it provides. I’m not a fan of heavy self-tanners that leave you looking orange or streaky, but this one delivers a subtle, golden color that develops over a few hours. I use it a couple of times a week, and it gives me a natural-looking tan that looks like I’ve just come back from a beach holiday. No fake tan smell, either! The moisturising aspect is also fantastic. It keeps my skin feeling hydrated and soft all day long. I’ve also noticed that it doesn’t cling to dry patches, which is a big plus, especially around my elbows or knees. The formula is gentle enough for daily use, and I love how it doesn’t leave a sticky feeling.

After a rough year health-wise, I missed out on most of the summer sunshine. Thankfully I’m on the mend now, but my skin clearly didn’t get the memo — especially my legs. I’m in the gym most days, usually in shorts, and between the lack of sun and the dry, dull skin, I decided it was time to do something about it. At first, I was just looking for a simple moisturiser to revive the skin on my legs, but then I stumbled across the “Garnier Summer Body Gradual Tan Moisturiser.” The reviews were solid, the price was under £6, and I thought, why not? A bit of colour wouldn’t hurt. It arrived the next day with Prime — always a bonus — but when I opened the bottle, I was hit with a scent that stopped me in my tracks. Wow. I can’t sugarcoat it — the smell was pungent. To me, it’s not pleasant at all, and it seemed to cling to my hands even after washing. I even tried to return it, only to discover it’s one of those non-returnable products. Not one to give up easily, I decided to improvise. I grabbed a pair of disposable latex gloves (the kind I normally use when prepping food), jumped in the shower, and after drying off, applied a thin line of the moisturiser down each leg. I took my time working it in, making sure it was evenly spread and absorbed properly — the texture is rich but not overly greasy, and after a few minutes, it left a slightly tacky finish. The next morning, I was honestly shocked — in a good way. My legs were smooth, the dry skin had completely disappeared, and the colour... well, it looked like I’d just come back from a two-week beach holiday. Not orange, not streaky — just a healthy, natural glow. Even better, the results lasted. I didn’t reapply for over a week, and the colour only began to fade around day eight. The moisturising effect lasted even longer — my legs still felt hydrated and looked far healthier than before. So, while I’m still not a fan of the strong smell, I can’t deny the impressive performance of this product. It does exactly what it promises — hydrates dry skin and builds a beautiful, gradual tan without fuss. If you can get past the scent (or use gloves like I did), this is genuinely a fantastic moisturiser with the added bonus of a natural-looking tan. Highly recommended — it’s a lot of sunshine in a bottle for the price.

The apricot scent masks the fake tan smell well. While it doesn’t eliminate the odour completely, I find it much more tolerable than the cocoa butter-scented gradual tans, which seem to mingle with the fake tan smell and almost amplify it. For me, it's the perfect WFH tan that doesn't give me a headache or feel too sticky or heavy. It is easy to apply every other day or reapply throughout the day and shower off in the evenings ready for the weekend. It also leaves my sensitive skin feeling so soft and moisturised that I’ve actually bought a non-tanning moisturiser from the Garnier range for the in-between days. As someone with super sensitive skin, I've had zero issues with this routine. A possible downside is that the tan isn't as dark as some mousse tans, but it's almost always flawless—unless I mess up! It's great for adding a little extra glow on top of a natural tan in the summer and adding a bit of colour during the winter months.

Good, moisturizing effect. After a few hours, a pleasant peach tint appears. Apply evenly, as streaks may remain

The cream itself is really good. Not sticky at all, gives really good tan, and smells incredible. Just typically is exploded in delivery and went other my other items which isn't ideal.

Absolutely love this product leaves my skin feeling smooth, soft and a subtle peach scent. Builds up nicely after a few applications and lasts for weeks. Colour is not patchy (as long as you prep the skin via exfoliating). This is a staple in my bathroom highly recommended!

Great product, i have used this for years. Builds up to gorgeous tan. I wouldn't use anything else.

Excellent product, leaves skin golden, and a pleasant smell

Mit Garnier kann man eigentlich nichts falsch machen, es riecht gut, lässt sich gut verteilen und es gibt keine Flecken, allerdings ist das relativ teuer selbst für die Größe.

Buona crema abbronzante lascia la pelle Dorata e senza macchie

I love this

I've been using this for over a year now and get so many compliments. In the winter I use it 1-2x per week to have a touch of color on my face and neck. In the summer I use it every other day. There is no streaking, it doesn't look orange, it doesn't stink and it moisturizes so well. It's a white lotion when it goes on and it gradually builds a tan as the day goes on. I can't recommend it enough!
