This serum hydrates while delivering a subtle, gradual tan that makes you look healthier and more rested without darkening your foundation shade. It's light enough to use morning or night in your regular routine, so reviewers appreciate how seamlessly it integrates. At around 21 euros, that's a personal call depending on whether subtle effects and extra hydration matter to you.

"I talked about the Tan Luxe Super Glow Hyaluronic Acid Self Tan Serum a few years ago. It will not give you a dark tan or require you to change your foundation shade, but it makes you look better rested and healthy, an effect that I personally love, especially in summer when I wear lighter coverage. Whether that is worth the price is a personal decision, not everyone wants to spend 21 € on such subtle effects."

"It gives me such a beautiful natural glow, like a tone, like a warm tone to my skin. It's so easy to use. When it comes to sunless tanner, I love sunless tanner, but I feel like I have to work my way up to doing my sunless tanner. I have to be in the mood, I have to have that time set aside, I have to go through my whole routine where in the shower I do my everything shower, I'm super exfoliated, I get out, I'm super moisturized. [...] But when it comes to the Tan Luxe serum, so easy to use."

"It's a gradual tan that it gives you. It's basically like a hydrating serum for your skin. This absolutely hydrates your skin. It is so nice feeling, it's so light. I put this all over my face and I do not think twice about how I'm applying it because it's so gradual, and I just love the beautiful glow that it has been giving me. I'm actually starting to think that Tan-Luxe might be my favorite of all the self-tanning brands."

"I use it just like a hyaluronic acid serum in my skin care routine. It does not make me look orange, it looks really really natural. It truly just gives like a little glow to your skin. It does not give you a lot of color, at least not for my own skin tone. [...] I love this stuff, I go through so much of it and I'm not even on their PR list. I truly love it so much, I go through a lot. I take it with me everywhere. It's just easy to add into your moisturizer for your face or your body."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Vitamin C

Topical vitamin C is an antioxidant with reasonable evidence for dullness and uneven tone. It breaks down in light and air, so how a product is formulated and packaged matters as much as the percentage on the front.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
