But what do shoppers make of it?
One happy shopper said: 'I don't use a lot of cream products but this one was super beginner friendly!
'I've tried a few that have been hard to blend or splotchy, but this one goes on great and blends seamlessly. Love the colour as well.'
Someone else said: 'The shade Sand has a unique peachy undertone that surprisingly works for my fair- olive toned complexion.
'Formula buttery smooth, barely have to blend it which makes it quick and easy for daily use! '
Some people did have some views that there could be some room for improvement.
One person wrote: 'I love this bronzer. It is easy to apply, has a nice natural finish and has become my go to.
'My only complaint is that there is very little product and I hit pan within two weeks. Then again I am using it daily. Will buy again.'
Yet many people couldn't stop singing its praises, noting: 'Look no further, the formula of this cream bronzer is perfection. I have the shade Tan.
'I purchased immediately after watching Emilynoel83's demo. It is highly pigmented and gives your cheeks a plump and youthful look. I plan on picking up the coordinating brush as well.
'Absolutely love this, I'm so impressed. Looking forward to trying everything in the Refy line.'

Hollyoaks star Sarah Jayne Dunn stuns in sizzling gym wear snap after hitting back at mum-shaming over OnlyFans pics
GYM GIRL Hollyoaks star Sarah Jayne Dunn stuns in sizzling gym wear snap after hitting back at mum-shaming over OnlyFans pics Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SARAH Jayne Dunn looked incredible in in sizzling gym wear snap after hitting back at mum-shaming over OnlyFans pics The ex-Hollyoaks actress, 43, showed off her toned abs in a fuchsia pink sports crop top and shorts. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 Actress Sarah Jayne Dunn showed off her toned figure in a pink gym set Credit: Instagram 3 The former Hollyoaks star said she is thriving on OnlyFans Credit: instagram Sarah flashed a smile while at the gym, as she put her trim physique on display. She finished her workout look with bronzed makeup and went on to defend her choice to wear cosmetic products in the gym. Sarah wrote alongside the snap: "Someone actually asked me… 'Are you seriously wearing makeup to the gym?' "Yep. I am. I'm not doing it for you, I'm doing it for ME! "A bit of tinted moisturiser and mascara. Not full glam. Just enough to feel like I've got my sh*t together before I throw some weights around. "And honestly? I'm bored of the judgement. "Since when did wearing makeup mean you're not serious about your workout? "Some women feel their best fresh faced. Some love a bit of glow and gloss. Some genuinely couldn't care less. ALL of it is valid." She added: "Wearing makeup doesn't mean I'm insecure. Not wearing it doesn't mean you're more confident. "Let's not turn personal choice into a personality trait. Soap star hits back as she's mum-shamed over racy pics "So yeah, I lift, I sweat, I push myself hard… with a bit of blush and mascara on. Shocking, I know." The former soap star, who played Mandy Richardson on Hollyoaks from 1996 to 2021, famously left the show after being issued an ultimatum by furious bosses. Despite the star admitting that she's thriving in her new OnlyFans role, it doesn't come without it's criticism. Sarah recently hit back after being mum-shamed over her racy photos. They ordered her to quit adult subscription site OnlyFans, where she was flogging risque shots, or be axed. While she's been making big money on the platform, having claimed to have taken home £700,000 in 2022, Sarah has found herself the target of cruel trolling. Taking to Instagram to confront her latest bully, she sarcastically responded to their nasty comment. The follower had written: "Yeah why not just make sure your kids get bullied because of your content just so you can get a little validation from people you don't know, good idea." But Sarah - who shares son Stanley, nine, with her husband Jonathan Smith - made sure to clap back with humour, pretending to read a positive one in a get-ready-with-me video. With the aforementioned jibe shown on the screen, she instead read: "Thanks for your inspiring content. Your son is really lucky to have a mom like you that loves him so much. Please show us some more of your outfits." Sarah then enthused: "Of course I will! What a kind, kind comment. Thank you. I will happily show you another outfit," before proceding to talk her fans through what she had been wearing. At the end, she concluded: "Thanks again for that really, really lovely, positive comment." The actress quit the Channel 4 soap for a career on OnlyFans three years ago. Hollyoaks said it doesn't allow cast members to be active on certain 18+ websites because of the show's responsibility to its young audience. Speaking about posting on OnlyFans before, Sarah said it was "about taking back control, about empowerment and confidence and having full power over my choices".
