The James Read Gradual Tan Click [& Glow](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smooth-glow-undaria-duo) Tan [Drops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nourishing-bronzing-drops) is being introduced as a new kind of tanning gadget that's not only extremely portable but also supportive of giving users more flexibility and customization. The next-gen tanning gadget is touted as "concentrated, on-the-go, multi-vitamin tanning drops" as the formula contains encapsulated Vitamin C for brightening benefits along with hydrating hyaluronic acid.

The James Read Gradual Tan Click & Glow Tan Drops boasts pen-like packaging that's clickable, which makes it easy to enhance a favorite moisturizer, SPF or a serum with a touch of bronze color. Thanks to this unique format, consumers have a great deal of control over the color of the finished result.
