What is Devoted Creations Velour?
Devoted Creations Velour™ is a Plush Mega Hydrating Dark Tanning Emulsion with a velvety-soft texture and a bronzer-free tanning formula. This ultra-soft, creamy formula doesn’t just deliver beautifully bronzed results-it also leaves your skin oh-so-supple and smooth!
Velour’s cushiony cloud cream hugs your skin with ceramides, collagen-boosting agents, and nourishing hyaluronic acid. Soothing marshmallow and rose water antioxidants work their magic, while bakuchiol oil helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for a more youthful and radiant glow.
Velour™ isn’t just a tanning lotion-it’s like sinking into a cloud of plush pillows and wrapping your skin in a soft, cozy glow that feels as dreamy as it looks!

Superior tanning accelerators deeply intensify tanning results for ultra-dark color without the use of added bronzers to achieve fast, glow worthy color. Velour™ is described as a plateau-breaking dark tan enhancer, making it suitable when the goal is to move beyond a tanning plateau and develop deeper-looking color.
Because Velour™ does not contain added bronzers, the tanning effect is based on its tanning accelerators rather than a temporary cosmetic bronzing layer. The formula is intended to provide deep, even tanning results while supporting the appearance and feel of the skin.
Hydration and skin-barrier support
The Ceramide Cloud Complex helps strengthen the skin’s moisture barrier. Ceramide Complex contains essential fatty acids that help to replenish the skin’s lipid levels by protecting against moisture loss and restoring a healthy natural skin barrier.
Its formula with Ceramide Cloud Infusion, Hyaluronic Acid, Snow Mushroom and Marshmallow Extracts helps hydrate and soften the skin while supporting the skin’s natural moisture barrier. The formula also contains Panthenol, Glycerin, Dimethicone, Hydrogenated Lecithin and Cholesterol.
Hyaluronic Acid helps hydrate and plump the skin. A gentle blend of agents works to hydrate layers of the skin to promote a bouncy, plump look.
Snow Mushroom hydrates the skin by helping to retain moisture, improve skin elasticity, and create a plump, dewy complexion. Marshmallow Extract helps to soothe and hydrate the skin, while reducing and calming irritation and redness.
Coconut Extracts deeply moisturize and nourish the skin, enhancing softness and promoting a more radiant complexion. Rose Water Extract helps to balance the skin’s pH levels, reduce redness, and provide antioxidant benefits, leaving the skin refreshed and glowing.
Skin-smoothing and radiance-focused ingredients
The Collagen Banking Complex is a collagen infusion that aims to help replenish and preserve collagen. Peptide Complex promotes collagen & elastin repair while helping to target the appearance of scars and stretch marks.
Bakuchiol works by increasing cell turnover, thereby stimulating collagen production and diminishing wrinkles, skin laxity and overall photo damage. The product description also identifies Bakuchiol and Peptide Complex as firming and toning ingredients that target the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Eterwell™ Youth is produced from the rare plant alpine willowherb, and Eterwell™ Youth helps rejuvenate healthy skin and reduce the appearance of imperfections. Exosomes are described as a powerful and potent ingredient that works to regenerate and rejuvenate the appearance of healthy skin cells.
Neuroglow™ helps to enhance skin’s radiance and reduce dullness to help overall tone and complexion appear more vibrant and luminous. The formula also includes SymBronze® Green, which is derived from microalgae, enhances skin complexion and encourages a darker tan, leaving the skin with a flawless airbrushed finish.

What users report
One reviewer described Velour™ as “Such an amazing intensifier! Plateau breaker and overall great lotion. The scent is phenomenal!” Another reviewer said, “I love this product! It's very hydrating, goes on smoothly, and smells soooo good. I really felt way tanner after using it once.”
Another review described it as having “Amazing skin care” and said that it “smells fantastic.”
Individual experiences also include less favorable results. One reviewer wrote, “I wanted to love this lotion. There was so much hype around it. It smells good, like really good, but this one dries my skin out so much! It’s not hydrating at all! The color results aren’t fabulous either.”
A further review stated, “I wanted to love this lotion! But compared to others, my skin is so dry! Like no moisture left in the skin. Used it 5 times, and my skin was so dehydrated.”
These reviews show that the perceived hydration, tanning intensity and skin feel can vary between users, even though the formula is described as highly moisturizing and skin-softening.
