I use for two days in a row to get the desired color and then I don't need to apply it for another week. It's great.

Awful, truly awful product.

Cons: Uneven Fade, Uneven Tan, Unnatural Color

Describe Yourself: Brand Buyer

Bottom Line: not recommended

This product left the most uneven streaky mess on my face. I have used other sunless tanning products in the past and I am aware of how to use them correctly. Unfortunately this product did NOT live up to its claims. I used it 3 times and then it went straight into the garbage.

I've tried many, this one is the best!

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

Best Uses: Body, Face, Quick-Fix

Describe Yourself: Budget Buyer

Bottom Line: recommended

Use circular motion to apply until it's totally obsorbed to create an even tan. It dries fast so there's not much waiting time before dressing. Be sure to avoid heavy applications especially around knees, elbows and even knuckles. and wash hands well. This is the most natural looking tan ever. I've tried many and this product doesn't look orange like alot others I've tried, from the cheapest to pretty expensive brands . And the price is incredible!! Can't beat it!!

By far the best

I've tried many self tanning products. This is by far the best. It goes on evenly. If you miss a spot you can fill it in easily. The best part is it doesn't have an odor!

Best Uses: Body, Daily Use, Face

Describe Yourself: Brand Buyer

Bottom Line: recommended

This product is the best that's out there. It's not streaky and it makes your feel very moisturized. The natural look you will achieve looks great and you will not look orange. Just make sure to wash your hands immediately after application. I've tried alot of self tanning products from inexpensive to expensive and this is the only one I continue to buy. The price for it here on this website is about the same as in the store but I can't always seem to find it in the store. You will love it!!!

Loved it!

I use the product daily and its the only product that doesn't make me look like an orange. It's easy to apply, it and it goes on evenly. I searched all over, in every retail store to find it. Nobody had it except [...]t and then I never found it again in the "dark tan" shade. I finally found it on this site and for the best price. I bought 2 tubes to be sure I didn't run out during the winter months.. .

The best self-tanner I've tried

by MarynTN [Verified Reviewer]

in TN on 8/22/08

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

Best Uses: Body

Describe Yourself: Quality Oriented

Bottom Line: recommended

I've tried alot of different self-tanners over the last 20 years and usually end up frustrated. My sister is a self-tanning pro and recommended this product. I use it at night after showering instead of my moisturizer. It dries very quickly and looks like a natural tan. After achieving the desired color I can even go a couple of days between applications. I make sure to exfoliate regularly and keep my skin misturized and have never had a problem with streaking. The smell is minimal and can easily be camouflaged with my favorite body spray. The only problem I have is after the first of the summer it is impossible to find in stores so you have to order it ahead of time so you don't run out. The price at Drugstore.com is the same or cheaper than most stores.

80/20 mostly good some downers

in new bedford, ma on 8/21/08

Pros: Creates Even Tan, Doesn't Clog Pores, Easy To Apply, More brown then gold, Natural Tan

Cons: Fades Quickly, Feels Greasy or Heavy, Musky smell, Uneven Fade

Best Uses: Body, Daily Use, Face, Quick-Fix

Describe Yourself: Value Oriented

Bottom Line: recommended

I'm Puerto Rican so I have olive/tan/brownish skin naturally but I love to be a deep brown color and the sun/tanning is to damaging so I used this self-tanner and was amazed by the color. The color is more of a brownish tan which I like because other tanners are too gold and it does nothing to deepen the color of my complexion and others make you look like an orange. The reason why I only gave it 4stars is because it's not deep brown enough for me so I have to apply it everyday to maintain a decent color and it tends to build up on my arm pits, side of my boobs and inner thighs which then causes it to flake of and appear blotchy. Other then that it's a pretty good product and I would buy again.

Apply to clean, dry skin. Use sparingly around ankles, knees, elbows and hairline. Wash hands with soap and water immediately after use. Allow to dry completely before dressing. Color will develop in 2-3 hours and will last several days. Reapply to deepen or maintain color. For best results, wait at least 3 hours between each application. To maintain your desired shad of tan, reapply 1-2 times a week.
