Yes, Melanoboost will work on all skin types.

The peptide used within Melanoboost is specially indicated for people with fair skin that want to tan but find it difficult to do so. It is these individuals who should benefit most from using Melanoboost.

Melanoboost was developed to work in the lead up to sun exposure to boost melanin levels and prepare the skin for tanning; when melanin levels are boosted, less UV exposure is required to tan effectively. We encourage a balanced approach to UV exposure to maximise benefit and minimise risk. The use of sunscreen is also recommended.

As everyone tans differently, results will differ from person to person. The results determined by you will also come down to your expectations. For example, if someone is very fair to begin with they shouldn’t expect to see results like an olive skin tone. Melanoboost is designed to help you achieve YOUR best tan possible. There are plenty of great reviews from fair skinned customers found on the product pages of our website.

The coral and green bottles contain additional +BRONZING sunless tanning actives (fake tan). These products are designed to build a temporary fake tan over consecutive days of application while the peptides work to boost your natural melanin levels in the lead up to UV exposure to prepare your skin for tanning. By the time you're ready to head out doors to work on your real tan, your skin will be perfectly prepped for sun exposure and beautifully bronzed for social exposure.

The +BRONZING sunless tanning actives will not show colour immediately when applied to the skin; the +BRONZING oil and lotion apply clear so won't stain your clothing or bedding.  The fake tan will start to develop colour on the skin after a few hours and will gradually intensify reaching peak colour development at 24 hours. Apply daily thereafter to build colour intensity whilst boosting your skin's melanin levels in readiness for UV exposure. After applying the +BRONZING products make sure to rinse your hands after application.

If you prefer not to have any added fake tan and only want to achieve a natural sun tan only, the yellow and blue bottles are recommended as they do not contain any added +BRONZING sunless tanning actives.

Melanoboost will absorb into your skin once you apply it, but if you are swimming or sweating excessively we recommend to reapply it. Remember that you only need a small amount of our oils, lotions and spray for them to be effective.

All Melanoboost products give the same results when it comes to a sun tan, so it just comes down to personal preference on whether you prefer an oil, lotion or spray.

There is an obvious difference in texture between an oils, lotions and sprays and how they look and feel on the skin...

Some people may like the way that oils have the ability to stay on the surface of the skin for a longer period of time, particularly during UV exposure when intense moisturisation counts the most. They may also like the way that oils have the unique ability to instantly enhance a natural sun tan with a glistening luminosity that’s hard to beat.

Others may prefer the fast absorption rate and light, weightless feel of a spray, especially pre and post sun exposure when feeling refreshed and replenished is key to comfortable skin, and looking visibly hydrated is paramount to a healthy looking natural sun tan.

Rich and soothing, lotions instantly quench any dryness leaving the skin visibly hydrated and soft to the touch which is why they are always a favourite.

SOur packs are a great choice if you want to try multiple products.
