Those who adore a tanned, sun-kissed complexion will certainly appreciate the unique self-tanning cream from the German cosmetic brand Alcina. Its special formula is designed to effectively care for skin of any type, while simultaneously providing an even and attractive faux tan. The product is a water-oil emulsion that deeply moisturizes the skin, enriches it with nourishing nutrients, refreshes, eliminates dryness and flaking, and leaves it smooth and radiant.
The product has an optimal creamy consistency, spreads easily, and does not leave a sticky film behind. Thanks to the active ingredient - dihydroxyacetone, which mimics a tan, the cream allows achieving a beautiful natural shade, closely resembling a natural suntan. This product guarantees the desired result and will help you look fresh and rested all year round.
The self-tanning effect is very subtle and perfect for pale skin. It gradually develops throughout the day, leaving no streaks and not drying out the skin. It's the perfect cream for me to refresh my complexion.
Good stuff. Before this, I used Clarins drops for a long time (a bomb for those who love a noticeable tan). But after the 5th bottle, I decided to try something new. It really gives a light, very natural shade. It's impossible to overdo it and go with patches, as it seems to me. It's hard to say about the skincare effect since I mix this cream with face oils, so the skin feels good. But I also tried applying it alone - the skin is fine, it doesn't dry out or tighten, the sensations are good. The scent is not sharp and doesn't irritate. I will definitely buy more. For tanned girls, the effect is unlikely to be noticeable, but for fair-skinned ones who want to give the skin a truly natural, pleasant shade, it's just right.
The shade gradually adds color and it's not possible to get a sudden dark tan with it, but it applies smoothly and looks natural. For me, the problem with self-tanners is the unpleasant smell, but with this one, it's hardly noticeable. It's nothing extraordinary, but overall, I like it.
The skin darkens just slightly, but it's actually a plus. It moisturizes really well. I use it for my face.
I bought it last year, and I bought it again this year, and I am very satisfied. It has a pleasant scent. It gives a beautiful shade, and the skin afterwards becomes shiny and glowing with a tint. I liked it more than Ella Bache, where there is a very strong smell and an orange hue is achieved.
