    Didn't work for me.

    5 days ago
    I did not like this product at all. I tried it a few different ways and never saw any differences or changes. I used it all over my body and face. Mixed it into my moisturizers. I used 12 drops (the max it recommends) on the lotion for my body and saw no changes. The next morning the skin on my ankles and knees were a little darkened with an orange tint. For my face, the first time I used 4 drops and next morning saw no difference. The second time I used 6 drops and again saw no difference. It says its supposed to develop after 6-8hrs so I applied it at night after my shower. I didn't notice any scent so it doesn't smell strong like other self tanners which is good, but I didn't notice any changes or anything so I stopped using it. Note, I'm also pretty pale so to not see any changes was odd and I used a lot. There was more of the serum than the lotions.

    Hi there! Thank you for sharing your feedback on our Super Stay Summer Shot Tanning Drops. We're sorry to hear you didn't see the results you expected and have passed your comments along to our team. For the best glow, try exfoliating your skin beforehand for an even canvas, and start by mixing just a few drops into your moisturizer on clean dry skin, gradually building up the amount over a few days rather than jumping straight to the maximum drops. We hope these tips help and invite you to explore our other favorites! XO

    Unfortunately I didn’t really see any results from this product. I’m pretty pale and my face is often red. I really didn’t notice any difference after I applied the drops. There wasn’t any smell which was great and I do have sensitive skin and it didn’t break me out which was great! I love the glass bottle with the dropper, it makes application easy. I may continue to try this product to see if I get different results.

    The natural tan and the glass skin it’s give you

    18 days ago
    People who want an easy, low commitment natural looking face and neck tan without the classic self tanner smell or heavy commitment of traditional lotions/ mousses. Great for beginners, sensitive skin or anyone’s prefers mixing self tanner into their existing routine. If you want a quick, customizable, hydrating glow that doesn’t scream “Fake tan” this is worth trying. The pigmentation is so natural.

    I loved these tanning drops! I dropped them with my daily moisturizer, and they blended easily without feeling greasy or sticky. The color developed gradually and I think it looks amazing. It was a simple way to add a little glow without having to use a separate self tanner. I’ll definitely be using these.

    These tanning drops are amazing, They give my skin a beautiful, natural looking sun kissed glow, without any orange tones. The formula mixes easily with my moisturizer, applies evenly, and develops into a smooth, streak free tan. I also love that I can control the intensity by adding more or fewer drops. It's the perfect way to achieve a healthy glow all year round. Love in it ♡

    Beautiful subtle glow

    Before is the first picture & after is the second! I liked the consistency of this product going on. I haven’t used tanner on my face before because I was afraid it would make me look unnaturally tan after, but this gave me the perfect amount of tan and was just what I was looking for. I liked the finish of the product as well.

    Easy to use tanning drops! Made to help with that tan look on your face, where most tanners tell you to avoid! Water like consistency, doesn’t feel oily or greasy. Easy to apply alone or add drops in your favorite facial moisturizer. Love the sleek glass packaging. Easy to take on the go if needed with its lightweight small container. Will be adding this to my routine when doing sunless tanning!

    Natural-looking tan, easy application, and absolutely no transfer!

    24 days ago
    I'm really impressed with the Maybelline Super Stay Summer Shot Tanning Drops! The pigmentation is buildable and gives a natural, sun-kissed tan without looking orange. It has a pleasant, subtle scent that isn't overpowering like traditional self-tanners. The application is super easy—it blends smoothly into my favorite moisturizer without leaving streaks. Once dry, there is no transfer onto my clothes or pillowcases, which is a huge plus! Lastly, the washability is great; it fades evenly over a few days without leaving patchiness. Highly recommend!

    Provided a light bronzed tint without appear harsh or fake.

    24 days ago
    I think being able to customize the intensity of the product is very nice. Especially since doing the minimum recommended drops in your lotion will provide a light bronzing, whereas adding more drops will apply slightly more of a tint. Originally my gut was thinking this would be great for tan lines, and it really could be. As long as the tan lines is not severe. My boyfriend has a crazy tan line where his watch sits and while it helped a bit (with the max recommended drops), it couldn’t really touch that tan line. I then decided to tape off a heart on some of my skin that tans poorly. I was pleasantly surprised at how natural the distinction was between the skin the was covered and the skin the product was applied to. While this product is not meant to tan your whole body. The last test I did with it was on my face. I think the result was fairly natural and even my own partner who was completely unaware of the application made no comments about the change in complexion. I am unsure of the build ability, but I think there are definitely suitable applications for this product. Fixing my boyfriend’s harsh tan line probably isn’t on that list though.

    These tanning drops did not work for me and I have very fair skin. I liked how the drops were clear, so they did not get on my sheets. I used much more than the suggested amount on the bottle and barely saw any color the next day. I think you need to use it every day and build up color over time, which is not how it is advertised.

    I tried this product multiple times and used 8 drops to get these results. I mixed with my daily moisturizer and applied with my fingers. The first time I tried a brush with 4 drops and saw no difference. Then I tried 6 and still couldn’t see much of a tan. I’m pretty fair skinned. It is a very thin formula. I like that it isn’t as scented as other tanning products.

    Natural-looking glow that’s easy to customize and fades evenly.

    I have been enjoying these tanning drops because they’re easy to customize depending on the glow I want. The instructions are simple-just mix a few drops with moisturizer and then color develops gradually without looking orange. The formula feels lightweight, doesn’t leave my skin sticky and fades evenly over several days. It’s a great option if you want a natural-looking sun-kissed glow without spending time in the sun.
