leaves my skin dry

by LM

in Triad, NC on 6/14/09

Pros: Not Greasy, Works Quickly

Cons: Uneven Fade, Uneven Tan, Unnatural Color

Best Uses: Body

Describe Yourself: Budget Buyer

Bottom Line: not recommended

I found this very drying for my skin which usually isn't dry. Also, as it faded, it left very small splotches and looked unnatural. The color overall wasn't too bad, but even after exfoliating, moisturizing, and using spare amounts, I still had trouble with it going on quite uneven around my knees and ankles. Using latex gloves to apply did help it go on smoothly and evenly everywhere else and helped avoid stained hands. I wouldn't buy it again.

Great for dry skin!!

Pros: Creates Even Tan, Easy To Apply, Natural Tan, Works Quickly

Cons: Uneven Fade

Best Uses: Body

Describe Yourself: Budget Buyer

Bottom Line: recommended

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!!

New favorite self-tanner

by ME Shopper [Verified Reviewer]

in Maine on 4/27/09

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

Cons: Feels Greasy or Heavy

Best Uses: Body

Bottom Line: recommended

I've tried numerous other self-tanners and the benefits of this are: not bad smelling, no streaking, works quickly, very natural looking. Also, having SPF 15 sunscreen is a huge bonus - both a time and money saver. I used this prior to a late winter tropical vacation and kept using it while I was there as my sunscreen. It worked great for sun protection and I didn't look like a pale tourist! I agree that it's pretty greasy feeling and takes too long to dry, but that's my only complaint.

I've used this self-tanner for years

by Becky

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

Cons: Uneven Fade

Best Uses: Body, Daily Use

Describe Yourself: Budget Buyer

Bottom Line: recommended

To everyone who complains that this product is greasy and/or never dries: You're applying too much! I've never had that problem, nor have I felt that the resulting color looked fake or orange-y. I've received compliments from friends on my "tan" and they were surprised when I told them it's 100% fake. My dermatologist even asked me what brand I use because it looked so good.

Love the color, no streaks!

Works great after exfoliating, even smooth tan. Apply every day or every other day to keep the same color.

I love this product

by Egger

in Atlanta, GA on 7/28/08

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

Cons: Bad Odor

Best Uses: Body, Quick-Fix

Describe Yourself: Value Oriented

Bottom Line: recommended

I do agree the scent of this product isn't great but otherwise it is the best self-tanner I've ever used by far. I am extremely pale and have tried every self-tanning product out there. This is the only one that goes on evenly, comes out a believable shade and doesn't streak. This is the first summer I've been able to wear shorts and skirts and people think I've actually got a nice, natural tan - I get compliments every time I use it.

Good for outdoor use

by PianoMan [Verified Reviewer]

in Columbus, OH on 7/21/08

Pros: Doesn't Clog Pores, Doesnt Clog Pores, Easy To Apply, Even Tan, Natural Tan

Cons: Greasy or Heavy

Best Uses: Body, Face

Describe Yourself: Quality Oriented

Bottom Line: recommended

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.

Not recommending this to anyone

by photogirl6 [Verified Reviewer]

in brooklyn, ny on 6/22/08

Cons: Bad Odor, Greasy or Heavy, Very strong perfume

Best Uses: Body

Describe Yourself: Quality Oriented

Bottom Line: not recommended

I try lots of self tanners and this one now sits in the back of my drawer, mainly because of the horrible and very strong combination of smells I give off when I use it. You start off with a cloying, heavy perfume-y smell and a few hours later that gives way to the actual smell of the self-tanner, which is wretched. Takes several showers to get it all off. yuck.

Apply evenly all over body. For sunscreen benefits, apply before sun exposure. Wash hands thoroughly after use. Let skin dry before putting on clothes. Use daily until you have achieved the desired level of tan, and then apply 1-2 times a week. Best if used within 6 months of purchase.
