The honest comparison

Capri vs the rest

Deeper colour per session, without the greasy oils, the fake-tan streaks or the £40 creams that smell like biscuits.

We read 463 Amazon reviews of 45 tanning products from 8 brands. The same complaints came up on every tube: greasy on the bed, stains on your clothes, orange palms, a rash you didn't ask for, and £30 spent on a cream that did nothing. So here they are, in the reviewers' own words, next to what we did about each one.

  • Tanning oils

    Dark in one session.

    What the reviews say

    • It is GREASY as it is an oil so will stain clothes if you're not careful.

      Amazon review of a sunbed tanning oil

    • Most sunbed salons won't allow you to use oils like this as it causes the acrylic to crack.

      Amazon review of a sunbed tanning oil

    • rash on the chest
    • greasy hair
    • oil all over the car
    • shower straight after

    Capri instead

    Absorbed before the timer starts.

    The Sink-In Base goes in, not on. Nothing on the acrylic, nothing on your top, nothing to shower off in the car park.

  • Fake tan, drops & bronzers

    Colour tonight. No sun needed.

    What the reviews say

    • It makes a nice colour. However fades REALLY fast.

      Amazon review of self-tan drops

    • …the super orange bronzer which stains your hand forever.

      Amazon review of a bronzer cream

    • streaks
    • brown palms
    • needs so much
    • age spots show

    Capri instead

    Your own colour. Nothing painted on.

    No DHA, no bronzer, no guide colour. Nothing to streak, nothing on your palms, nothing that washes off in the shower. It's your tan, so it stays like one.

  • The £40 creams

    Premium formula. Premium price.

    What the reviews say

    • I tanned no more than I would have without it and I can't believe I wasted £30 on this product.

      Amazon review of an accelerator bundle

    • The smallest bottle of cream ever !!!

      Amazon review of a 90ml accelerator

    • didn't do anything
    • sticky
    • pump broke
    • just burns
    • tiny bottle

A tick means good for you. “Some” and “Tingle ones” mean it depends which tube you pick up. Sun and sunbed sessions always carry risk — keep sessions short and SPF on top, always. The glow is gorgeous, not protective.

Stop buying the whole shelf. Buy the one that sinks in.

The mechanism

Why it
works

Tan fades fastest on dry skin, and oily accelerators sit on top instead of getting in. The Sink-In Base is absorbed before the session starts, so the peptide + tyrosine blend and the moisture are in the skin while you tan. That's the whole point.

Peptide + tyrosine

01

An amino-acid and peptide blend skin loves — acetyl hexapeptide for conditioning, tyrosine and carotenoids for the glow — paired with coconut and shea.

Deep hydration

02

Tan fades fastest on dry skin. The buttery base keeps yours quenched — hydrated skin holds what develops.

Sinks in, not on top

03

Oily accelerators sit on the surface. The Sink-In Base is absorbed before the timer starts — nothing greasy on the bed, nothing sitting on your skin.

Our story

Built on a sunbed, from the best bits of every cream we ever bought

Capri started in a sunbed shop in Liverpool with a shelf of half-used accelerators. Every tube promised the deepest colour, and every one did one thing well and three things badly: one smelt incredible but sat greasy on the bed, one sank in fast but had faded by Friday, one gave real depth but left tide marks on the shins. We kept notes on all of them.

So we took the best of each and made one: the tyrosine and peptide hit from the serious sunbed creams, the coconut and shea base from the ones that actually hydrated, the texture that is absorbed before the timer starts, and none of the biscuit smell. Then came the nasal mist: a simple flavoured saline spray, made to the same standard as the rest of the range. Two products, one standard: the kit we wished was on the shelf when we started.
