This stuff is amazing! I've tried others and always want to go back to this one. Smooth application (I use my hands), looks tan and not orange, smells great.

My favorite tanning lotion

anonymous - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
I use a tanning mitt to apply this and it’s amazing! The first time I used my bare hands and they got stained and I had streaks on my legs. I started using a tanning mitt after that and this is now my favorite tanning product! The color builds so well and looks super natural. I highly recommend!

Abk329 - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
I applied with my hands like I would with a regular lotion/moisturizer. It was so orange and patchy the next morning that it looks ridiculous. I don’t know if it has anything to do with applying it with my hands but I made sure to rub it in and apply evenly

nottanyet - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
Didn’t do much. Didn’t notice a big difference in color...except for the hives it gave me even after a patch test went well. Very watery formula for a lotion. Application was messy, definitely not worth the money. Better off adding the tanning drops to a lotion you already like.

I have used all of their products and they work really great but I was kinda disappointed by this one. This was extremely streaky. The drops work much better. I have never had a problem with them.

Easy to use & leaves a great glow! This has been the only gradual self tanner lotion that I’ve used that has actually worked! I’m a believer. Only downside: some color can rub off on light clothing after it develops.

Fantastic! For some reason people seem to think you can apply gradual tanner without a tanning mitt but that isn’t the case. Just apply this product on your body with a self-tanning glove & you won’t get any streaks.

I absolutely hate when products ball/roll up after application, and that’s exactly what happened with this product. It started peeling off my skin like elmers glue or something which caused blotchiness and I always exfoliate! Its too thick and made my skin feel dry and sticky. Save your money for something better.. wish I would have just used my Bondi sands tanning milk!

Works great

JayDee - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
This is my favorite product by the company, I actually have two bottles so I dont run out. It says it is gradual, my experience is one use and you see a very good tan, unlike other "gradual" tans where you need to apply 5 times. The color is medium like the medium drops. I put it on two days in a row and people think I look super tan from a trip. I apply with gloves on my hands, then use the hand pad to lightly blend around the body.

I’m fair skin and burn easy do I always wear max spf. I have LOVED the Tanologist tanning water and saw this and have been trying it. I love it!!! It dries fast just like the tanning water. If you haven’t tried the tanning water yet, you should! This would be a great product also to maintain your tan inbetween using the tanning water

Thought this was okay until I went outside and saw just how streaky I was! I’m not new to self tanners either - looks like certain parts of my skin didn’t absorb any color at all. It also isn’t odorless like it claims. Definite self tanner smell.

Hands down the best fake tan product I’ve ever used. I’m pale with freckles and don’t tan naturally, I just burn. This stuff actually looks natural and no streaks! And I can use it on my face!!! It does have a scent after a few hours but you’ll get that with any fake tan product. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND

LRcurtin - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
I was interested in trying a new brand as I have been using Jergens for a long time. I wanted a gradual tanner but with a bit more color. This lotion goes on great!!! It dries fast as well. It has a nice scent that slowly fades, but you never get a self-tan scent, which is nice. I liked the color I got after one application and I’m excited to keep using it!

This product is supposed to be odorless but it’s the opposite. The strong is so smell, I found it to be unusable. I’ve used many self tanners and this was a huge disappointment.

LOVE this stuff, I use it roughly once a week. If I want a darker tan, I just add in a few of the self tanning Drops. It smells really nice too.
