High-intensity tingle formula — recommended for experienced tanners only. Build a base with a standard accelerator first. If you have fair or reactive skin, start with Melano Dark.
Sunbed use only. Contains no SPF and offers no protection from natural sunlight.
Never apply to the face. Patch test 24 hours before first use.
Is tingle right for you?
Tingle creams work by increasing blood flow to the skin's surface, which brings more oxygen to the melanin-producing layer. That reaction is the point — and it feels like heat, prickling and redness for 20 to 40 minutes.
It is not for first-time tanners, and not for anyone who hasn't already built a base with a standard accelerator.
CHOOSE MAXX IF
- You already have a base tan and use sunbeds regularly
- Standard accelerators have stopped pushing you darker
- You're comfortable with a strong warming sensation
CHOOSE MELANO DARK INSTEAD IF
- This is your first accelerator
- You have fair or sensitive skin
- You'd rather not feel anything at all
Never apply to the face, and patch test 24 hours before your first full application.
How fast will I actually see it?
Accelerators don't stain your skin — they amplify the melanin you produce under UV. So the colour is yours, and it builds session on session.
The tingle complex lifts circulation to the melanin-producing layer for an intense boost from the very first session. Expect noticeable warming and redness for the first 20–40 minutes.
Colour moves past where a standard accelerator plateaued. This is the reason experienced tanners move up to Maxx — fast, visible results.
You reach the ceiling of what your own skin can produce. Shea and coconut butter keep it looking like healthy skin rather than dry, flat colour.
Tan fades with the skin's natural cycle. Daily moisturising and a maintenance session keep it even instead of patchy — which is why most people reorder every 3–4 weeks.
And what does it smell like?
Warm coconut with a sharper, cleaner top note than Melano Dark — the tingle complex is naturally more aromatic, so the fragrance is built to carry it.
No biscuity DHA note, because there's no DHA in it.
Five actives, one job each
Contains no SPF and no DHA. Formulated for sunbed use only.
Four steps, no streaks
Most patchy results come from skipping the first step, not from the lotion.
Apply a small amount 24 hours before your first full application and check how your skin reacts.
Skin must be clean, dry and free of moisturiser or deodorant.
Circular motions from feet upwards. Never on the face. Wash your hands straight after.
Moisturise daily. It's the single biggest factor in whether your tan fades evenly.

Questions before you buy
Warming, then prickling, then noticeable redness — building over the first ten minutes and settling within twenty to forty. It is not painful, but it is unmistakable, and it surprises people who were not expecting it. If you have never used a tingle product, start with Melano Dark and move up once you have a base.
Most customers report visible warmth after their first session, with genuine depth by the second or third. By sessions four to six you are at the ceiling of what your own skin can produce.
No. Orange comes from DHA bronzers sitting on the surface of the skin. This is an accelerator: the colour is melanin your own skin produced, so it reads as a natural bronze.
No. It contains no SPF and gives no protection from UV, on a sunbed or outdoors. It is formulated for sunbed use only.
A 200ml bottle covers roughly twelve full-body applications, so three to four weeks for most people tanning two or three times a week.
No — start with Melano Dark. Maxx is a high-intensity tingle formula built for tanners who already have a base and are comfortable with a strong warming reaction.
