Key ingredients
Dihydroxyacetone (DHA)
The self-tanning ingredient. It colours the top layer of the skin brown over a few hours; the colour fades as the skin renews.
Cocoa extract (Theobroma cacao)
Gives the drops their tint, so you see a glow straight away.
Sodium hyaluronate and sodium polyglutamate
Bind water in the skin, so it feels soft and hydrated.
Aloe vera, panthenol and betaine
Calming, moisturising ingredients for a comfortable skin feel.

Venice Body Instant Self Tan Drops Face are tinted self-tanning drops for the face that give you a light, sun-kissed glow straight away, which then deepens over the next few hours. I suggest them if you want to look fresher on the same day, for example before an event, and like to mix your tan into your usual day cream.
Cocoa extract tints the drops, so you see a touch of colour right after applying them. DHA (dihydroxyacetone) then builds a longer-lasting tan in the top layer of the skin. Hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, panthenol and betaine keep the skin comfortable. One or two drops in your day cream give a subtle glow; for more colour you can use more drops.
Good to know: the drops have a fruity, tropical scent and contain fragrance, including coumarin. If your skin reacts to fragrance, test them on a small area first. And like every self-tan, they give colour, not sun protection.
🔬 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 Instant Self Tan Drops Face
What is the difference to the Niacinamide Self Tan Drops?
The Instant drops are tinted with cocoa extract, so you see a glow right away, and they have a fruity scent. The Niacinamide drops are clear, fragrance-free according to their ingredient list and build the tan only over a few hours.
How do I avoid edges at the hairline?
Mix the drops well into your cream, spread evenly and blend lightly into your hairline, ears and neck. Wash your hands straight afterwards, so your palms don't take on colour.
Can I wear make-up over it?
Yes. Apply the drops in the morning after cleansing, let the cream absorb for a few minutes, then apply your sunscreen and make-up as usual.
