Made with active ingredients of natural origin. Suitable for all skin types, including the most sensitive skin.

Hyaluronic Acid — Possesses the unique ability to retain large amounts of water, instantly hydrating the skin and helping to restore the skin barrier. For a plump, resilient appearance.

Glycerin (vegetable) — Moisturizes by attracting and retaining water in the upper layers of the skin, making it feel soft and supple.

Squalane — Helps restore the skin barrier and keeps the skin supple without a greasy feeling. Squalane is a substance naturally found in the body and contributes to hydrated skin.

Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) and erythrulose — Self-tanners that react with substances from the dead skin cells in your top layer of skin. They color the top dead layer of skin brown. This is a skin and body-friendly reaction.

This routine contains 0% perfume.

Yes, you can definitely use the tanning drops if you have vitiligo. Self-tanning ingredients were originally developed for people with vitiligo.

Our customers apply the drops locally to lighter areas, which helps soften the contrast with the surrounding skin.

A useful method is to mix the drops in your palm with day & night cream and apply evenly with a makeup brush to the desired areas, such as the face or hands. This allows you to apply the product precisely and gently, for a natural result.

No, the tanning drops work by coloring the dead skin cells in the top layer of your skin, giving you a naturally tanned complexion. That’s why it’s important not to exfoliate right before applying, as this removes those cells and reduces the result.

If you like to use a scrub or fruit acid peel in your routine, we recommend waiting at least 24 hours before applying the tanning drops.

It is a deliberate choice not to include SPF in our day creams. A day cream with SPF can easily give the impression that your skin is protected all day, while in reality this is not the case.

According to the recommendations of the Health Council, sun protection should be reapplied every two hours when exposed to the sun, because the effectiveness of the sunscreen filter decreases over time.

So, a sunscreen applied at 8 a.m. will provide little to no protection by 10 a.m.

Absolutely! All Ray products are suitable for both men and women. Our formulas are developed based on the needs of the skin, regardless of gender.

The difference that is often made in skincare between men and women lies in the fragrance. All Ray facial products are completely fragrance-free, making them suitable for everyone — even for the most sensitive skin.

In addition, Ray products are always tested by both men and women to ensure they are pleasant to use and deliver the best possible results for everyone.

Volgens de verkoopster zou het produkt mijn pigmentvlekken niet donkerder maken wat dus helaas wel het geval was.
