Key ingredients
Dihydroxyacetone (DHA)
The self-tanning ingredient. It reacts with the top layer of the skin and gives a brown colour that fades as the skin renews.
Niacinamide
Vitamin B3. Supports the skin barrier and helps the skin tone look more even.
Glycerin
Draws water into the skin, so the drops don't dry it out.
Sodium hyaluronate
A form of hyaluronic acid that keeps the skin feeling soft and hydrated.
INCI
Aqua, Dihydroxyacetone, Glycerin, Niacinamide, Sodium Hyaluronate, Caramel, Citric Acid, Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Metabisulfite

Venice Body Niacinamide Self Tan Drops Face are self-tanning drops that you mix into your usual face cream or serum, for a natural, buildable tan on the face. I suggest them if you want a sun-kissed look without UV, especially if your skin is sensitive or prone to breakouts, because the formula is oil-free and has only nine ingredients.
The drops contain DHA (dihydroxyacetone), the classic self-tanning ingredient, together with niacinamide, glycerin and hyaluronic acid. You decide the intensity: about 5 drops in a hazelnut-sized amount of cream for a light glow, up to 10 for a deeper tan. The colour lasts about 4 to 10 days, depending on how quickly your skin renews itself, and you can top it up two to three times a week.
Because you mix the drops into your own skincare, you keep the cream your skin already likes. One thing to remember: a self-tan colours the skin, but it does not protect it from the sun.
🔬 How does self-tan work, and is it safe?
DHA is a simple sugar. It reacts with proteins in the outermost layer of the skin and forms brown pigments, the same kind of browning reaction that colours bread crust.1 Because only this top layer is coloured, the tan fades as the cells shed naturally. The EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety considers DHA safe in self-tanning lotions and face creams at up to 10%.2 One important point: the brown colour gives hardly any UV protection (measured at about SPF 1.3 to 2.2), so you still need daily sunscreen.1

Questions about Venice Body Niacinamide Self Tan Drops Face
How do I avoid streaks?
Exfoliate gently the day before, mix the drops well into the cream, and spread the mixture evenly, including your hairline, ears and jawline. Wash your hands with soap straight afterwards. Never apply the drops undiluted.
Can I use it together with acids or retinol?
Mix the drops into a simple moisturiser rather than into a product with strong acids or retinol. These speed up skin renewal, so the tan fades faster and less evenly. Use them on different evenings.
Does it suit fair skin?
Yes, because you choose how many drops to use. With fair skin, start with fewer drops and build up over a few days until you like the colour.
