Not my first pick
I didn’t think it actually worked I used it since March and it never made my legs actually tan. The face one worked amazing.

Works well
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Packaging was very appealing and the product worked well. The consistency of the product was not too sticky and absorbed quickly into the skin. I would recommend trying.

Terrible
The product is so thin that it leaks all over and if you take the lid off then the product that’s collected in the cap gets everywhere. My cabinet was covered in lotion when with the lid fully secured. Would never purchase this product again unless they fix the packaging and make the formula thicker

Easier than easy tan lotion
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This lightweight tan lotion gives the perfect natural glow. Easy to apply with a pleasant scent. You can easily customize your tan to your desired level. I would recommend this product!

I prefer the tanologist drops!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I definitely prefer the tanologist drops to this daily lotion, but that might just be user-error! I find that the lotion is more prone to streaks and splotches, and the color didn’t look as natural on me as the drops.

Not the best
The color shows up fast and can be streaky. I like gradually tanners cause I can put it on give my skin some color and not worry about it being perfect but I learned with this one it does

Think consistency…not a big fan
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I prefer adding this brand of tanning drops to other moisturizer. This was very thin. When attempting to build coverage and color it is better to have a moisturizer that covers better than this. It did have a pleasant smell. Using the product alone did not give any color.

I love this!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love a gradual tanner so much! I love how it doesn’t leave any streaks and it really looks like you just came back from vacation. No weird smell or anything. 10/10!

Not very pigmented
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I paired this with the tanning drops as suggested but the color wasn’t as dark as I would have liked. Maybe I needed to use the lotion more than I did. I will use it more in the winter when I want a light amount of color to look more natural.

New Favorite!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I LOVED this tanning lotion! It gives a great color and builds to a nice, glowy tan. Plus, it smells so much better than the other self tanners I’ve tried. The light cherry scent really elevates the application experience. Before this, I used Jergens Natural Glow, and this lotion is a step up!

Nice lotion! Prefer the drops!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this to help maintain the glow and ran I got from the tanning drops! It felt like a creamy hydrating lotion and I enjoyed it a lot. Not sure how much tan it added though.

Works well
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Can’t complain! It does what it says it will do. I’m not big into tanning items, but I feel this one was easy to use and spread/blended easily. Overall I would recommend! I received this item free from Influenster in return for my honest review.

90% good
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Unlike other lotions that leave you kinda stinky after a few hours, this one leaves a pleasant cotton candy and coconut scent. The tanning effect is gradual and looks natural, not orange or brown. This one gave me the appearnce of sitting in the sun for a day or two, not bad. The lotion itself is fairly thin and more watery than anticipated. This allows it to spread and absorb quickly, but it's hard to tell if it is spread evenly when it absorbs so quickly. And really, are there lotions that tone & firm? No, I don't believe so, but given your skin will look more tan, it will naturally appear more toned. I really like that scent and gradual color this lotion provides and look forward to continued use until the real sunshine makes its appearance.

Gets dark!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is progressive but after only a few days of use, it can get dark. It lasts well, but treat it more like a sunless tanner than a lotion because the pigment can build in spots if you aren’t careful

10/10
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So many great things to say about this product. It smells AMAZING (cotton-candy ish) which is revolutionary for self tanning products, the gradual daily tanning is an amazing option, and just works really well!
