GOOD Product

Pros: Creates Even Tan, Doesn't Clog Pores, Easy To Apply, Natural Tan, Not Greasy

Describe Yourself: Brand Buyer

Best Uses: Body

Bottom Line: recommended

I've tried many self tanners and this has been one of the best, even better than a lot of the expensive ones I've tried. It gives an even, natural looking tan and it's a gel so it doesn't feel greasy. It does take a while (15 - 20 min) to dry but it's worth it and the odor is not that bad. I put it on before I go to bed and I wake up with a great tan. Sometimes I have a hard time finding it in the stores, they are out a lot. I guess other people like it too.

Cons: Slow to dry, Uneven Fade, Uneven Tan, Unnatural Color

Describe Yourself: Budget Buyer

Best Uses: Body

Bottom Line: not recommended

Because this self tanner is a gel, it inevitably makes it harder to apply without getting streaks. You have to be so careful. My legs are currently streaked and orange colored (after using it about 4 times-I didn't want to judge prematurely). My arms look pretty good after using it- but they were tan to begin with. This also fades unevenly, so some parts of my legs, stomach, and shoulders are still tan while others are not. It makes me look like I have a skin condition. Another gripe is that it takes awhile to dry. I want a natural looking tan so I might try a spray formula-at least it's safer for my skin than laying out.

Best self-tanner I've tried yet.

Pros: Creates Even Tan, Doesn't Clog Pores, Easy To Apply, Natural Tan, Works Quickly

Cons: Feels Greasy or Heavy, Takes a long time to dry

Describe Yourself: Budget Buyer

Best Uses: Body, Daily Use

Bottom Line: recommended

I really love this self-tanner. Out of all the ones I've tried, this one creates the best tan. It's not splotchy like others. It also makes my legs feel smooth. I don't mind the smell - most of them have an odd scent that I can't describe, but this one isn't bad. The only thing that I don't like it that it seems to take longer than other self-tanners to dry. Even when I think it's dry, I'll put my pants on and my legs will still feel a bit greasy. Otherwise, I'd give it 5 stars.

Pros: Dries Quickly

Describe Yourself: Budget Buyer

Best Uses: Body

Bottom Line: not recommended

The first time I used this product I was happy with the results but after the second day my skin was very, very dry and itchy. I took a week off before reapplying. I applied again on clean shaved legs and the next day when I applied again, my legs broke out in a terrible rash about 6 hours later. It's almost like a very bad razor burn that itches . I would not recommend this product.

This is my favorite self tanner for how evenly it applies. I wet the tops of my feet before applying it there and the effect is less dramatic, but more realistic on feet that don't usually tan well.

Pros: Creates Even Tan, Dries Quickly, Natural Tan, Not Greasy, Works Quickly

Describe Yourself: Budget Buyer

Best Uses: Body

Bottom Line: recommended

I've tried several different brands and types of self-tanner. Now that I'm deployed to Iraq, I'm in my uniform all day and do not get any sun on my legs. This product works GREAT in only a few days of using it. One word of caution - wash your hands well after applying. Otherwise you'll also see your tan on your hands in the morning!

Pros: Creates Even Tan, Doesn't Clog Pores, Dries Quickly, Easy To Apply, Natural Tan, Not Greasy, Works Quickly

Describe Yourself: Budget Buyer

Best Uses: Body

Bottom Line: recommended

I love this stuff, it is the only self tanner I have found that works great on my legs. You don't have to apply it every day either, I apply it once or twice a week. It can leave a little odor the first day, but it is worth it. Becareful around top of feet, sometimes if I don't rub it in really good it will have dark orange spots. But if you take your time and rub it in well and don't use to much in that area, you will be okay. It gives a great natural tan look to my legs and it also makes them silky smooth.

Love this product!

Best Uses: Body, Face

Bottom Line: recommended

I commented on a friend's pretty tan and she said it was Loreal's Sublime Gelee. I tried it and loved it. No tan is better than a natural one but this product comes close. The heavier you put it on, the longer it takes to dry, so have to experiment, but I love the end result. I've tried many self tanners and this is the best.

love this gel!

Bottom Line: recommended

i use this on my face mainly and i prefer the Gel product over the lotion product by L'oreal... i like the scent, i love the color that i achieve, and it's not too heavy for my complexion. i often use it at night, after my normal skin cleansing regimen, and it has nice moisturizing properties.

Great stuff

Describe Yourself: Brand Buyer

Best Uses: Daily Use

Bottom Line: recommended

This stuff is pretty good. Some people have commented on it being greasy. It has rather an oily feel, but that, to me, is a good thing. I look at it as replenishing much needed oils to dry skin. It's not overly oily, and has a pleasant fresh smell. I believe, as with any self-tanning product, you should start with a base tan. I've been using this for several days now, and am very pleased. I go to a tanning salon several times a week, but will definitely use this on a daily basis for not only the tanning benefits, but also for my dry skin.
