What does the product description say?

Formulated for even the most sensitive of skin types, the super light consistency of our best selling Tanning Drops won't clog pores or cause breakouts, nor will it interfere with the performance of your prescribed skin care.⁠ Once developed, the colour maintains just the right sun-kissed glow for days on end, so you can ditch the makeup, glow and glow.⁠ For the ultimate tanning and hydration balance, pair Tanning Drops with Tuscan Tan’s Hydra Base Face moisturiser

This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin.

When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
