If you don't have dry skin, then use this product sparingly to avoid the greasy feeling. I have somewhat dry skin and I've never found this to feel too greasy. I get a very natural tan, though it seems to fade a bit unevenly. I love that it has sunscreen, and perhaps it's this ingredient that causes others to describe it greasy?? At least you've saved a step and protected your skin!! This is also the first product I've used that doesn't have that awful self-tanner smell!!

I have to agree with other users who said it goes on very wet and takes a long time to dry. That said, I still think it gives a very even tan, and I do not have any issues with the odor. (I've found that tanning products work and smell differently on different people, so you'll never know till you try one exactly how it is going to work for you.)

For me, the big plus with this tanner is the SPF15 sunblock. Because of the sunscreen, I like to use this stuff when I'm going to be out in the sun, at the beach or pool. I can still tan while being completely protected from the sun; it's the best of both worlds.

The rest of the time, I rely on the L'oreal quick-dry tanner, which does a great job for me.

By Maddy

Comments about L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Lotion SPF 15, Medium Natural, 5 fl oz:

So I use self tanner all the time for the past well about 4 or 5 years. I love the LOreal sublime bronze tanning GEL, but thought I'd give this a whirl. An hour later I am sitting, well standing, here writing this review in front of the fan on high trying to dry. I feel like I'm dipped in butter. Now I'm running late trying to dry. Guess I have to hop in the shower!! Go for the gel, it leaves a shimmer and is dry in 5-10 minutes.

Amazing product if following instructions carefully! You have to exfoliate extremely well everyday for a week before applying this but it will last FOREVER on just 1 application and totally real! Works on face (got to apply twice if I want a base tan) and then I apply estee lauder bronze goddess in matte and its amazing

I have dry sensitive and extremely pale skin. Every other self tanner looks fake on me and dries me out except this one! Awesome product! If you have oily skin I recommend you check out the Sublime Bronze gel version.

I also found this product to be quite greasy and it went on patchy for me. I'm not nuts about this product.

This is say - this product could have been so great...
Good color - check. Nice smell - check. Not streaky - check. Everything checks out...except - this stuff is soooooo greasy! When I was putting it on, it felt exactly like putting on baby oil. I have "normal" skin (so I don't need any extra moisture on it), so this was just awful. I made the mistake of putting it on at 10 pm. At 11:30 pm, I was still standing in front of an air conditioning vent and a fan blowing directly on me...but I still felt like a greasy, sticky mess. So, even though it had a nice color, nice smell, and wasn't streaky, I have to give it one star due to the grease factor. You can't win with this product: If you apply at night, you will have to stand in front of a fan for over an hour, and still be greasy in your sheets...If you apply in the morning, you can't dress for several hours...

By Lisa Anne F

Comments about L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Lotion SPF 15, Medium Natural, 5 fl oz:

GOOD OVERALL SELF-TANNER WITH RELIABLE NATURAL COLOR.
I have been using this self-tanner for some time now, and have had excellent results. I have followed the directions and exfoliated/shaved before using, and have never had any issues with streaking/uneven color. The color seems to develop better if you massage the lotion into the skin. It's also helpful if you use a blow-dryer to speed the drying. There is some "post-tan" scent (like all self-tanners - from the chemical process that causes the self-tanning color to emerge), but it's not excessive with this product, and I have found that it disappears completely after bathing.
I have also used the product successfully on my face, although I would exercise caution if your skin is very oily, as it leaves a greasy residue. Since my face is somewhat dry, and I have always applied to product to just-cleaned skin, I have not had any issues myself, but it might be problematic for break-outs for someone with acne-prone skin.

This is the first review I have ever written for a product because it is so amazing! I have tried LOTS of self tanners through the years - including the expensive ones, and think this is by far the best. It feels good going on, dries quickly, doesn't stain anything, has SPF, and the color is fantastic. I highly recommend it, and will never spend lots of money on self tanner again!

Comments about L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Lotion SPF 15, Medium Natural, 5 fl oz:

I bought this thinking I would get a nice, even, glowing tan that would look natural, and 0boy was I wrong. I followed the directions, took a hot shower before, scrubbed my skin from head to toe, then I put this on. I put it on extremely carefully, scrubbed my hands like 5 times, then went to sleep. When I woke up, all I saw was bright orange all over me! The color of the bottel is exactly the color I was. It was splotchy, and every inch of my hands and nails were orange and looked terrible, not knowing what to do, I took a shower and scrubed as hard as I could to the point where my skin hurt, when I got out of the shower it only got worse, now some areas of my skin were bright red and some were orange, that day it was 85 degrees and I had ot go to school with a long sleeve shirt and pants, which still didn't cover my orange face or hands. The orange color lasted at least 2 and a half weeks.

Comments about L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Lotion SPF 15, Medium Natural, 5 fl oz:

I love this product. I have a hard time believeing some of the other reviews. It never made my skin orange and it always washes cleanly from my hands. I only use a small amount about the size of a quarter for each leg, for example. I tend to have dry skin, and other self tanner's leave my skin so dry, but this leaves it well hydrated. It has left one streak on my thigh, but I just used the pre-tan exfoliator and reapplied the next day. I'm not sure I'll ever use anything else.
