St. Tropez Purity Vitamins Face Serum

As with the body mist the packaging is so pretty!! I was a lot worried this was going to feel super oily with the glow in the description but it dried surprisingly matte and didn’t leave a noticeable film. You can mix into your moisturiser or apply directly. I opted to go all in and apply directly. Remember to stretch it up onto your ears and down your neck area so it all blends naturally. The pump gives out a small amount so you can use sparingly and go back for more as you feel you need to. It absorbed well into the skin so I used more than one pump and I followed with my moisturiser. I didn’t notice much on my first application which isn’t a bad thing as it’s not something you want to develop too fast. I found on the 3rd day I’d reached a nice tan but could have definitely pushed it another day. As with the body spray it faded beautifully and not patchy at all. Really excited to have this throughout the winter to keep a nice sun kissed look. It’s definitely worth noting I’m cool skin toned and have freckles and this worked well for my skin tone. Happy to have a face tanner product that works well for me it’s always been something daunting for me and this product has made it so easy.

St Tropez self tan purity vitamins serum for face. So… I was already tanned when I got home , to my products waiting , as I had been on an unexpected holiday for 10 days !!!( yes I was so excited and lucky !) but what was lovely was I started using the face serum a couple of days post holiday , & it’s kept me with a lovely subtle glow on my face and still looking like I’ve just come back from holiday! And it’s been over a week now . So we all Mostly love that feeling! One thing to mention , is I do have very sensitive skin , that’s seems to hassle me extra ways with menopause…yawn yawn ! BUT I didn’t have ANY reaction in any negative way , so that was awesome people with sensitive skins I would highly recommend this. Of course do a patch test first though- i also highly recommend this to people who would prefer to tan gradually , and build up the colour you love , than doing a full deeper colour overnight as a lot of tans do ,especially nice on your face. It has a really subtle smell and feel like I can smell a tiny bit of “holiday in the tropics “smell. And my hubby said the same when he kissed my face! I also Like that It dries really nicely on my skin, and was no problem I found , after fully drying my face , I could Layer another layer , or some evening moisturiser ( not too heavy a layer ) on later in the evening if you felt like it. I am always dry these days woth “mature skin “ again yawn yawn , but also from my travels too. I think it would be awesome to take on a holiday with you. I just didn’t get mine in time.

I wasn’t really sure how this serum would go for me, I’m very pale and sometimes tan can look very fake but this gave me such a gorgeous healthy glow after only one use. It was nice to the touch, went on beautifully without being sticky or oily. The smell was pleasant (not like tan at all) and it made my skin feel lovely and soft. The colour is subtle, and I think this will be perfect for getting me through winter without looking like a sickly Victorian child, and to top up my natural glow in summer. The size is good and will last ages as a little goes a long way. The rrp was a little concerning at the start but when I thought of it as a skin product and not a tanning product I definitely would purchase for the price. No need for brushes or sponges with this either as it goes on perfectly with your hands. Just be sure to wash the residue off your hands after application!

Can highly recommend this product. I am always skeptical to try new face products. This is just amazing! Love the bronzing effect which gives your skin a “natural” glow look. I have a sensitive skin, but this is really gentle. It also smells amazing on top of it all.

As someone who has been using face tan waters for quite a while, I was very excited to trial a bronzing serum. The serum itself is wonderful and makes my skin feel very moisturised and refreshed. The smell is divine and light and tropical. My only wish is that the bronzing aspect was a little more noticeable as I didn’t really get the tan/glow I expected from the serum.

This serum comes in a clear plastic bottle with a pump. It smells lovely, quite a tropical scent that doesn't really have the usual self tanning smell. The serum feels nice going onto my face and I think it did make my face glow. I didn't notice a huge tanning effect - I think the tan is very light and needs to be built up if you want to do a strong tan. I like the light tan effect as it means you can build it up without worrying that you'll look like a tanning disaster! Overall a really nice serum, but if you want a strong tan, I'd go with another self-tan.

Likes:

Lightweight texture that absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue Natural-looking, gradual tan that builds up over time Added vitamins that hydrate and brighten the skin No streaks or patches Perfect for a subtle, healthy glow without looking overdone Easy to incorporate into daily skincare routine

Dislikes:

Can take a few days to see noticeable color. Scent can be a little overpowering but fades quickly

Overall, the St Tropez Purity Vitamins Face Serum is a fantastic option for anyone who wants a subtle, natural-looking tan that's easy to incorporate into their daily skincare routine.

While it may take a few days to see noticeable color and the scent can be a little strong, the benefits of this face serum make it a must-try for anyone looking for a subtle glow.

I was so cautious with this to begin with, worries that I would turn a colour that wasn't quite desired. I started with one pump into my moisturiser and soon realised that it actually wasn't that scary and then on just used this as a serum after washing and toning my face and then after letting it all sink in going in with my moisturizer.

The scent of this serum is nice and fresh not overwhelming at all its actually quite pleasant and the serum is a nice consistency its not a runny liquid will stay where you put it and evenly applies over the skin with ease. I never ended up with patchiness this developed overnight evenly and was just a really nice colour to the skin to make you look a bit glowy and perfected. I have dark patches over my skin and using this evens it out so nicely that I hardly notice it, this has not broke me out and hasn't dried my skin out. Overall I am really impressed with this product I can see myself using this for quite a while, its hassle free and just does what I need it to do.

I don’t think I’ve ever tried a face tan before, but I enjoy this product!

For context I have sensitive and very pale skin on the drier side.

The first time I used it I used two pumps of product which I think is too much for me. I didn’t blend the serum down my neck which was silly, and I didn’t blend it into my hairline. The next day I woke up with a pretty decent tan (a good couple shades darker) but as you can imagine from my bad application, it didn’t look terribly blended.

The next time I applied this product, I used just one pump and I made sure to blend properly down my neck and into my hairline. The result was great - just a subtle glowy tan, totally natural looking. The tan faded evenly and nicely over a few days without reapplication.

The product is really lightweight. It’s maybe a touch sticky when you put it on, but that disappears quickly. There is a slight fake tan smell but again that disappears quickly.

If you applied one pump of this two or so times a week, I think you’d maintain a really healthy glowy tan.

Because you only need a pump at a time, one bottle would last for ages.

This product didn’t irritate my sensitive skin in any way which is definitely a plus!

All St Tropez products are cruelty free and this bottle is recyclable/made from recyclable plastic (another plus!).

I would use this product again. I plan on using it around once a week throughout winter to give myself a bit of a healthy glow.
