Men’s grooming has officially gone mainstream. Whether it's hair fibers, under-eye rollers, or skin tints, guys are stepping up their skincare routines. One product making serious waves? TanDrops by Alpha Skin—a lightweight, colorless serum that gives you a healthy, sun-kissed look without stepping outside.
While social media buzz has definitely helped put this brand on the map, is TanDrops worth adding to your routine? We took a closer look at how it works, what’s in it, and what real users are saying.
What Is Alpha Skin TanDrops?
Unlike typical self-tanners, TanDrops are clear, scent-free drops that mix with your daily moisturizer. They use plant-based DHA to activate your skin’s pigment layer, building a natural-looking tan in just a few hours.
BEFORE & AFTER: What Real Results Look Like
*Real results after a single application – subtle, even, and healthy looking

Specifically made for men, the formula is designed to work with thicker, oilier skin types for natural-looking results. Want a deeper tan? Simply add more drops to customize your color.
“Most guys don’t realize how much healthier they can look with just a little color,”
says David van der Meer, men’s grooming expert.
How to Use TanDrops?
1. Mix 3–5 drops with your daily moisturize
