I used it for a couple days and it definitely helped me get a nice tan where other tanning oils have fallen short. My only issue is that it starting giving me allergic reactions whenever I applied it, causing red welts over my chest and shoulders. I have not used it previously and none of the other tanning oils I have tried have given me a reaction. Does give good sun protection though. Show details

Sunburnt – Left me burnt literally applying every 30 mins. Last day of holidays was not pleasant.
Sensual Smell of the 70's – Just the smell of this takes me back to the 70's, so sensual! Having pale skin I've never been able to tan, so it was only when the SPF versions came to play I used this instead of traditional cream based sunscreens. Very easy to apply, and if it's okay to say on this platform is amazing for 'other' purposes ha ha :) Show details
Reformulated product gives me an allergic reaction!!! – They have changed the name on the packaging from 'Dry Sun Tan Oil' to 'Suncreen Oil' and with it the fomulation. The original dry oil formulation I have used for years with no issue. The new 'Sunscreen Oil' product I am alergic to and break out in a light rash and suffer from intense itchy skin for a couple of days after sun exposure. Very disappointed they have switched the product formulation with no warning label. Show details

I didn’t get burnt at all just a beautiful golden tan ! Show details
Break out in little bumps on my skin reaction – I went on a cruise and I bought the spray on Reef bottle both me and my mum were using it and for some reason both of our skin reacted with little red bumps all over where we had sprayed ourselves not sure why and what is in this product exactly but we both received a reaction by using the spray bottle bought from Chemist Warehouse. Never using it again Show details
Got badly sunburnt – I applied the oil at least 30min before heading to the beach and applied it again about an hour into being at the beach and I still got badly sunburnt (was in the sun for a total of 2 hours).
I love it! – I applied prior to exposing myself to direct sunlight. I was only in the sun for maybe an hour and I already have visable results. Will definitely be using it again?!
SUCH AN AMAZING PRODUCT – I LOVE THIS PRODUCT. its works wonderfully and gives a golden glow to your skin. I highly recommend it. i was only in the sun for 1 hr (swapped sides halfway) and the results were amazing also ive been using this product for years now.
LOVE THIS PRODUCT – Reef Oil has been around since forever and I began using it in high school (back in the 80s). This summer, I rediscovered why I loved it so much. THE SMELL. I thought I remembered it being oily but in fact it dissolves into the skin beautifully and leaves a lovely sheen. Did I mention the smell? So divine you will feel like you are on a tropical… Read more
beach holiday! It was hard for me to get my head around at first, but despite it being an oil, this SPF30+ provides as good a protection as any other suncream on the market, but it rubs in easier and does not leave a white cast on your skin. I even use it instead of my usual moisturiser now because it smells so good and makes my skin feel soft. A luscious product that has stood the test of time.
Good stuff – I first used this oil as a sunscreen as well as a oil based barrier as I am a rural weed sprayer.It helped to keep the dye we mix with the chemical from penetrating my skin. Also it is the best Fly repellent the fly's land on the oil and fly straight off as the do not like the oil on them.
All time favourite! – I have been using reef tan since my teenage years. Since it has gone to 30+ it's even better. It's like being on holiday every day. Coconut is such a gorgeous smell ,I get plenty of great comments on it. Plus even though I am a redhead with freckle skin it brings out my pigment without the sunburn...love it! Also the price is very reasonable. Smell,protective and cheap.
