I thought this was quite nice. It's very moisturizing and I found the color to be natural. The scent was quite pleasant unlike most. As far as the application, I make sure I rub my skin in both directions when applying and always at the end, I put a thin film of moisturizer all over the parts of my body where it may come out "darker" or unnatural looking - like the knees, ankles, feet and creases of arms. It works perfectly every time. When applying to my face, I use a makeup sponge and again at the end put a pearl size amount of regular moisturizer on the sponge and go all along my hairline and jaw line so there are no lines of demarcation. I then take an old toothbrush and brush through my brows and all along my hairline again so it blends perfectly! My 4 stars on this product were due to the size of the product - too little.

Please, do NOT buy this. Fake, orange color that comes right off with face toner. Sticks to your skin instead of being absorbed. Gross, gross stuff.

This is great! It goes on with a little shimmer so you can see where you're putting it and it is never orange! If you make sure to keep your body moisturized it lasts quite a while!!(People who keep complaining with very pale skin need to mix part self-tanner with part regular lotion no matter what brand or they WILL be streaky and orange! And you have to exfoliate before you apply it and get the right shade for your natural skin tone. Self-tanner doesn't work right if you don't put it on right!)

When I used it for the first time, it took FOREVER to dry even though it states on the bottle that it dries quickly. I did get a somewhat even tan. I just figured that maybe I put too much on. S-O-O-O, I tried it again. I have now had it on for nearly one hour and it is still very greasy, and I am almost afraid to get dressed. I put less on this time, so that was not the problem. I would not recommend this product to anyone.

I've been using this for at least a month. At first it wasn't too bad, but I found out that in order to keep it from fading at all you have to apply almost every day, instead of 1-2 times a week as it says. It seems to dry pretty quickly, but there's always at least one spot that needs touch up later on. The blotchiness when it starts to fade had happened many on my arms which is really frustrating. It doesn't tan your face well at all. At least not mine, I guess it's because of my other skin care products. Maybe an actual "for faces only" product will work better. For now, I just use a powdered bronzer which helps a lot. This morning my boys told me that I look orange and that was enough for me. I'll be wearing jeans AGAIN! And trying another tanner after this one is totally gone. Which reminds me, it seems to wash off too easy, like around your wrists and top of hands. Whatever -- it's just an ok product. Too bad.

This product gave me a natural-looking, streak-free tan. It doesn't smell as bad as most self-tanners and has a smooth, elegant texture that glides on easily. I also like the fact that it provides sun protection.

Save your money unless you want to come out looking like an Oompa Loompa. This has to be the worst self tanner I ever used. It has a very orange tone to it and when it begins to fade, it leaves all kinds of little blotches. It has been over a week since I used it and I look like I have a skin disorder. I'm going back to Neutrogena.

The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because it is not idiot proof; I love the tanner when I use it right! :) This works well for very light skin and helps to give a healthy glow.

I first tried the light-medium one but I guess I am too medium to use it, however I have tried the deep one, and it really works! Since I am too light to be deep (and I suggest everybody does this), to avoid orange streaks I mix a tiny bit of the lotion with a single pump of normal unscented body lotion, and I do the same for my face with oil-free moisturizer. That way, it looks even (my face looks nice and dewy), and also gives me a nice, even sunless tan. I suggest you dont use this right after a shower or shaving though, because small orange bumps can appear. Also make sure you get the whole body, including the ears, near the nostrils, and the back and back of your neck. Overall, a really good buy and a great product.

I love this self tanner; the best of any product I have ever tried, and believe me I have tried numerous self tanners. It gives a very natural looking tan, lasts 4-5 days and does not smell bad like all the other ones I have used. I would highly recommend this tanner.
