The first day I applied it I saw the difference in a few hours,very light and natural. The day after, I applied it, wondering if it was the orange day, but it stayed natural and I went darker. The third day it starts getting orange, so I let pass a few days before another aplication. It smells good when you apply but after it sets it starts giving you the scent but not very strong. One bad thing it's that definitely it has to be put with gloves,since I washed my hands several times after aplication and they still stained.

I am very very very pale. I did a light application at first, only on my legs, and barely saw a change, but at least it wasn't orangey. I did a heavier application the next day and liked the color. However, if I applied 2 days in a row, I had obvious streaks. So every other day worked better. I stopped using for a few days and there were definite streaks as it faded. No bad smell at all. I had no problem with knees and ankles being too dark, just my inability to apply evenly on my ankles. It's the best self tanner I've tried so far, but not perfect.

      I've been using this product for years, but it's been very difficult to find lately. It seems every time I found a drug store that carried it -- soon after that drug store went out of business. Thought I'd do a search on the web and was so happy DrugStore.com carried it. Keep carrying it and I'll be a customer for life.

        Wish BDS would bring back the other items in their line. I've very fair/sensitive skin and theirs were the only products I could handle. Now they don't even have higher SPFs any longer. However, I still use BDS (well, what's left anyway) as their quality, not to mention that wonderful scent, is still there .
        I remember they used to have a great light cream just for the face, and also a wonderful soap for afterwards. Sigh. Seems like once again, every time I find something I really like it gets discontinued...and companies wonder why they don't have brand loyalty any longer. Dude, please.

        I tried this stuff in conjunction with the Comodynes tan towels... to use in between, and didn't notice a difference in skin tone. It may work for other people, but not for me. It's got a small spf on it, so I'll finish up the bottle on my arms, face and legs...

          There are some pretty rave reviews in here for this stuff! I was soooo excited to try to try it. It smells fabulous -- like a really summery suntan lotion. I've been using it day and night for over a week -- and I would be hard pressed to say it's done anything. I mean, really. It's bizarre. So, there's my two cents, sorry BdS lovers!

            The tan is good, the major problem is that the product is only as good as the person using it. Uneven tan on legs, and it takes awhile to dry. But the tan is quite natural looking and it's worth trying to even it out over time.

            Welcome Back, Mega Tan! In the past I have used original Mega Tan product in conjunction with another SPF, on my very fair skin - always getting compliments on how tan I can get - my secret!!! For the past two years have tried numerous other products with self-tanner to get my "Mega Tan" look and end up looking like "she applied self tanner - looks bad". Ban de Soleil re-marketing this product has made my summer - don't ever stop again!!!!
