Product Description

WHAT IS IT?

Get an easy, natural-looking tan with this glimmering wash-off serum.

WHAT DOES IT DO?

Adapting to all skin tones, natural caramel extracts and golden shimmer particles create instant radiance.

Blended with repairing arnica extract, antioxidant-rich vitamin C, and skin-toning coffee butter, it masks bruises, hides dry patches, and evens out blotchiness.

With a sweet coconut and grapefruit scent, you’ll want to use it all over your body.

95ml

How To Use

You only need a thin layer to get your glow on. Suitable for use all over the body, including the face, apply it to clean, dry skin using your hands or a Tanning Mitt. Wash your hands immediately afterwards.

Layer it up depending on how luminous you want to look then simply wait a few minutes before you get dressed. It'll last until you next shower.

Ingredients

Arnica Extract

Arnica's anti-inflammatory properties naturally help repair skin that’s scarred or bruised, and reduce puffiness and uneven skin tone. When combined with vitamin C, skin looks more radiant and even.

Coffee Butter

Tightening and firming skin to help create the perfect canvas for a tan, coffee butter is actually a blend of coffee beans and coconut oil, making it intensely nourishing.

Vitamin E

Combine vitamin E with a carrier oil like coconut or jojoba, and you’ll get twice the benefits. Or triple, with all three in this formula. Overflowing with antioxidants to keep your skin safe from environmental damage, vitamin E will enhance your natural glow.

Why Jojoba Oil Is Your Skin's Best Friend

At the heart of our Smoothing Cleanser is jojoba oil: a golden, skin-loving liquid that closely mimics your skin's own natural oils. That means it deeply cleansers without disrupting your delicate moisture barrier. Rich in vitamins E and B-complex, jojoba oil gently melts away makeup, sunscreen, and daily build-up, while keeping your skin nourished and balanced. It's non-comedogenic (so it won't clog pores), making it ideal for all skin types, from dry and sensitive to oily and blemish-prone. We chose jojoba for its versatility and skin compatibility, but you'll stay for the silky-soft glow it leaves behind.

Reviews

I love this product. Easily

"I love this product. Easily put it on in the morning before work, it just makes white legs look much better. It gives a slight tanned look and gives a bit more confidence in revealing legs when wearing a skirt or a dress when it's hot. Just remember to wash off hands. It also lasts a long time. A small amount goes a long way."

— ali H. (5/5)

Best Self Tan & Smells Good

"I've never had much luck getting self tans to apply evenly so was a bit sceptical. This is amazing. I've tried it on freshly shaved legs and when there's a bit of regrowth. It obviously absorbs easier on fresh legs but it wasn't too difficult to get and even colour when there's regrowth. You don't need a lot so start small and add to get the colour you want. It smells really nice too."

This is my absolute favourite

"This is my absolute favourite product from Tropic and I tell everyone about it! Gives your legs and arms a beautiful glow that smells nice and your skin looks and feels amazing! No one likes their arms but with this it evens out skin tone and the light reflective serum hides poor skin texture. Bigger bottles please!!!"

Q&A

Does this come off when swimming?: Hi Christine, thank you for getting in touch with us. Yes, this will come off after you have been swimming. It stays on until your next bath/shower or swim. Our Summer Skin gradual tanning lotion or Sun Drench overnight tanning mousse may be more suitable for a lasting tan. We hope this helps.
Can you use this if you have eczema?: Hi Caitlin, thank you for getting in touch. Due to the essential oils in our Instant Glow, this may be unsuitable for sensitive skin, so we would recommend patch testing prior to full use and to moisturise beforehand to prevent it from highlighting dry areas. We hope this helps.
What size bottle is this please? It doesn't seem to say on the product information.: Hi Carla, thank you for getting in touch. Our Instant Glow comes in 100ml. We hope this helps.
Do you have to wash off before bed time: Hi Luisa :). Our Instant Glow perfecting leg serum is a natural-looking wash off serum that will wash off in the shower the day it is applied. Washing off prior to going to bed should avoid colour transfer to bedsheets. We hope this helps!
Hi is the instant glow waterproof?: Hi Pam, thank you for getting in touch with us. No, our Instant Glow perfecting leg serum isn't waterproof. We hope this helps.
I have tried the instant glow and I am ordering some. I just wondered if you get put suncream over it or would it go funny if you did this.: Hi Becky, thanks for getting in touch with us. As this is a pigmented product that gives a darker/glowy finish to the skin, we would recommend applying your SPF underneath the Instant Glow should you wish to wear these together. We do hope that helps :).
