It is a good product. I apply it after every shower. It's great for a little color. I like be able to control the color. It makes my legs look natural and I even apply it to my feet. It is extremely important with all indoor tanning products to first apply a good moisturizer before using the tanning lotion.

I didn't get too too dark right away but noticably tanner the next morning. Try mixing it with a regular lotion or what I do it use this and then smooth a regular lotion on after to even things out and I don't turn orange or get streaks! Good luck!

My late husband died from Malignant Melanoma. Sun damage is a major concern for me. I love this product. I've used many sunless tanning products over the years. Many have an annoying smell that seems to get stronger the more you use it, as well as streaking problems. This products goes on so creamy and smooth. Sure makes even coverage easier to accomplish. I've been using this for two weeks now. Initially every day, now every other day right after my shower. I also am careful to exfoliate my skin with a granulated gel during my shower. This will help with even coverage by removing any dry skin. With any tanning product, be sure to wash your hands thoroughly when finished or you will have problems with unwanted color on your hands.

I use this twice a week (on the weekend) to chase away the "ghost." I wish I had done this routine instead of sunbathing all of those years. It's a time saver, too. Instead of two hours spent sunbathing, my tan treatment takes about ten minutes. The pump makes application simple and quick. This product also has the best scent that I have tried (similar to baby powder); the others smell pretty bad. As with all self-tanners, don't be in a hurry to apply it, or you will get streaks. You have to take the time to blend and overlap areas.

It definitely gives you color. The smell didn't bother me. However, it does streak in some places no matter how much I tried to prevent it. I will use it until it is done and then I am going to try something else. It is good, but this was my first sunless-tan lotion and I am going to try something else.

As far as how well this product works, I absolutely love the results. I used it last summer and everyone asked me if I had been in the tanning bed. However, there is some ingredient in this that I am allergic to, as using this product caused some of the worst itching possible. This year I have switched to something else, but if it weren't for the itching, this product would be a keeper for me. Sigh...

I really didn't like this product at all. The initial out-of-the-bottle smell is chemical-y, and it did not disipate over time. The colour, after only one application was really orange on my skin. I'm giving it two stars only because of its packaging, which is nice and did not clog, and for the theory behind it. It now sits in my "reject" bin of crumby self tanners.

I would give this 3 1/2 to 4 stars because it really does work. There are some drawbacks: first, it doesn't smell that great; next, it will leave your palms and cuticles orange; and three, if you sweat at all at night, it will get on your pajamas. I am a redhead and have very fair skin, and it was so great to "build" a tan so fast! This is a good product, but I have switched to something that smells better. I will switch again once this one is out because I'd like to try a spray-on or mist applicator so that I don't get the discoloration on my hands.

This stuff works great. I live in Arizona and the sun is always beating down on me...last week I got sun burned really bad, and had a really bad farmers tan. I bought this and used it right before bed, and I woke up the next morning to a all over natural-looking tan. The only thing is that if you dont rub it in well, you will get streaks.

Really bad for legs, it streaked, and gave an orange tint around my knees and calves. It also turned my palms and nail bed orange, and I wore gloves! My ankles turned really dark. The only reason I gave this 2 stars is it turned out really well on my arms and back.
