The serum is hands down the best tan I’ve ever used! The colour is stunning, it goes on so easily and evenly, it develops beautifully, and most importantly it wears off so well! I think it also smells... See more

Soo disappointed.... Have been using (and recommending!) bbold for years, especially the smart mousse which was brilliant and gave a lovely mid glow to my pasty irish skin.... The new formulas are rubbish and after three applications of the new version over the past two days (waiting the full 3 hours each time) it hasn't come up to nearly the same level of tan as one application of the old one. Waste of money literally down the drain now, Looks like I'll have to find a new one. 😭

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this was honestly a really disappointing experience.
I bought both the facial tanning serum and body tan from bBold, and the results were completely inconsistent. The face serum turned extremely dark and orange (even using just 2 drops mixed with moisturiser), to the point it looked unnatural and was difficult to remove.
Meanwhile, the body tan barely developed at all and made almost no visible difference.
For the price, I expected much better quality and consistency between products. What makes it worse is the “no returns once opened” policy, which means you’re stuck even if the product doesn’t perform properly.
Overall, a waste of money and not something I would purchase again.
The only plus is it smells nice when applied. Waste of money.

Worst tan I’ve tried. I ordered the super dark serum and exfoliated 24 hours before as recommended. Done a layer and the initial colour is stunning so I had high hopes for a dark tan. Let it develop for 9 hours and the whole thing washed down the drain when I showered. Came out looking like I hadn’t even tanned. Very disappointed.

Fast and efficient delivery. Bought same before and will do again. Well packaged and good quality
Lovely packaging ordered several bottles from them. Always comes packaged well.
UPDATED UPDATE - 2/8/2025 STILL NO REFUND.
*UPDATE - prepaid returned label sent when trust pilot review submitted*
(All items ruined when one product in the bundle leaked all over)
I received a faulty item and reached out to customer service requesting a return label. ( tan bundle - the tan leaked all over the box and other bundle items and this was a gift) Instead of addressing the issue properly, I was offered a 50% discount as a "goodwill gesture on just the tan, not the rest of the ruined items"—which made no sense, as the items were defective and I wasn’t looking for a discount, just a return.
Eventually, I was given a return address, but no prepaid postage label, meaning I was expected to pay out of pocket to return something that was faulty in the first place. Very poor handling of a basic customer service issue. I expected much better and won’t be ordering again!

Ordered through TikTok shop on the 16th and received yesterday for a holiday tomorrow. Was really excited to try the product since their rebrand as it has been a good few years since I used bbold but remembered really liking the tan.
The tan had leaked all the way through the plastic sealing and into the box. My hands were stained with tan just from taking it out of the box.
Contacted customer service immediately and sent images (you can very clearly see the tan all over the lid and bottle, still totally sealed in the plastic wrap).
No one responded until this morning and advised the item needed to be returned in order to refund or replace. I of course binned the tan straight away as I did not want to have a leaking bottle of tan lying around to stain any clothes or furniture.
Extremely disappointed with the service, wasted time and money and will order from other brands whom I’ve had no issues with in future.

The instant tan is amazing and my absolute go to. However every bottle the spray stops working after 1/3 used. Happened on 10 different bottles. Have emailed and never had a response. Disappointing as you know you are only getting partial use out of each purchase. Needs looking into!!

Tan is the best ever, it's lasted as long as Josie said it would, please don't discontinue Josie Peaches tan!!!
I currently have been using the spray/mist shade dark! WOW. The formula is amazing! Applies smooth and dries fast. Never been streaky and does not leave your skin looking like tiger bread when coming off it fades evenly. The hype is totally worth it and josie has made and absolute work of art with this tan ❤️
The josie peaches tan smells amazing but is very dry to apply which makes it hard to blend with out being patchy, the spray bottle kept leaking when i was spraying it and going everywhere . It is a amaze colour but theres some things that could be changed x
I can’t rave enough about the
Josie peaches deep glow liquid-easily the best tan I have ever used hands down! So natural looking, wears off so well and as someone with areas of dry skin it has helped so much with patchiness & evened out my skin tone. It’s also a dream on removal and doesn’t involve any major scrubbing. Plus, it leaves little to no transfer even minutes after applying which I was so impressed with. My new holy grail!!
Amazing!!!! Having tried both the super dark mouse and the peaches liquid I can say with someone who suffers with psoriasis the peaches liquid is a game changer you would not think I suffer with a skin condition it doesn’t cling to any dry areas and looks very natural with minimal transfer.
Ordered and paid 22/8/94 for two sunless serums, I only received one. I’ve contacted company several times and was eventually advised 3/9/24 by Charlotte that they would check cameras and get back to me. This action would apparently take 3/5 working days. I’ve emailed again for follow up and as yet received no response or replacement. Very disappointed as this company as effectively stolen my money.
I love b bold. I have skin issues and it has given me such confidence. Thank you!
Love this tan. The bundles are a great buy. I'm on my 3rd bottle !
I would like my order you have not sent and you have never updated emails since you received my order
Unfortunately I am not happy with my findings! I bought the bold medium liquid tan and it felt like the 200ml bottle was half empty! When I measured the contents it was 150mls?? I await the response! Can someone check if you have a similar volume?
