Pros and cons

Pros

Violet-base shade selection offers a specific option for buyers seeking to counter yellow or golden undertones.
A stated one-hour development period provides a defined, relatively short wait before rinsing.
The claimed face-and-body use avoids needing separate listed formulas for those areas.

Cons

Maintaining the color is described as requiring reapplication every 3 to 5 days, so it involves ongoing upkeep.

Customer feedback highlights perceived natural-looking color and mentions the violet base, scent and how slowly the product dries. One reported experience says the color lasted up to two weeks, which should not be treated as a typical duration. These comments may matter to buyers comparing shade appearance and application pace, but they do not establish a guaranteed result or longevity. The aggregate ratings are mostly five-star, with a smaller spread across lower ratings, so experiences are not uniformly positive.

Positive themes

Feedback describes the color as natural-looking and mentions the violet base as useful for countering yellow undertones.
Customers mention a pleasant scent and that the product does not dry down too quickly.

Mixed feedback

One customer-reported result said the tan lasted up to two weeks, while the listing recommends repeating application every 3 to 5 days to maintain color.
