The verdict
What the panel makes of it.
St. Tropez's top-ranked bronzing mousse earns strong buyer approval for its fast drying and even application, though recent formula shifts have split opinion between those getting a natural olive tone and those seeing unwanted orange. The pleasant scent and ease of use make it a solid choice for self-tanners seeking speed, but a patch test is wise given the inconsistent colour results reported by recent purchasers.

What owners single out
The weakest aspect (color & undertone) directly overlaps video reviewers' concern about orange-toned results, with multiple buyers reporting a recent formula shift from green-based to orange-based.
In their words
“St Tropez lives up to the hype!! This is the best self tanner I’ve tried yet, and I have tried so so many! It dries quickly so you don’t have to wait around to get dressed. It doesn’t have that yeasty self tanner smell that all the others do, instead it has more of a beachy sunscreen light scent that even my husband complimented me on!”

“formula changed! this used to be perfect for me because i am naturally a yellow-olive tone and this gave a tan that didn’t change my undertone to orange. this USED to be a green base but this new bottle i got last week is ORANGE. it develops to a more orange based color and looks so CHEAP. you can literally get this look with a cheaper drugstore tanner, no need to buy this anymore”
