Clarins tanning drops

Hi,
Anyone tried these? I'm looking pale and wan (not in an interesting way...) and think I could do with a boost.
Just wondering what people's experiences are. Hoping to achieve a natural glow rather than full-on crazy tan. Face and body in equal need of intervention!
Thanks,
Ags

Made zero difference on me for some Reason

I use them in the summer and really like them. I add a few drops to my moisturiser and it gives a really nice glow. It doesn't look fake at all.

Hello. I too am pale and uninteresting. I find that any self tanning thing absolutely stinks on me. What is the smell situation with these?

I think they’re great, no smell and give me a natural looking glow. I just put one drop into my moisturiser once or twice a week.

The body and face one are exactly the same, but the body one works out cheaper as it’s a bigger bottle for a similar price. So don’t fall for the sales bollocks about needing both!!

Also to get the drops out you press the bottom of the bottle. This may be obvious to everyone, but I spent ages shaking it trying to get the drops out Blush

Thank you!

They made no difference to me either, even using them every day. Shame as they seemed like a great idea.

Mixed experiences, then. Thanks everyone!

I’m about to go buy this.

£28 is steep but I’ve patch tested the oil on my hand and the colour seemed normal and also not orangey.

I’m pale; not super redhead pale but English Rose pale. I think it gets decent results if you are quite light skinned. For darker skins it gives just glow apparently (Sali Hughes has reviewed this online).

I do like them, yes, they just give more of a glow on me.

Clarins also did a £22 (?) mousee thing, which was less faffier.
Better still, I find the Dove one in the big bottle. I get the medium-dark and build it up. Smells nicer and less spendy!

I am lily white and used them last year on my legs . Loved them . Not fake at all and no smell which is the best thing compared to Dove type lotions .
