Jergens natural glow Daily Moisturizer

Rated a 8.0
After one week of daily use, this squeezable lotion lends skin a tannish "glow" that's so subtle, it really does look natural. Unfortunately, fragrance and "natural botanicals" don't mask the strong smell of the main darkening ingredient (DHA) enough to make me a faithful fan. That said, I've seen this in many a friend's bathroom. The no-sunscreen, slightly shimmery formula applies just like a regular moisturizer and doesn't leave streaks, blotches or clothing stains.

    Good for newbies to self tanning

    by submoto (16 reviews)
    This is a great self tanner for those who are new to self tanners or those of us who don't have the precision of a surgeon required to apply all other tanners without looking like streaky dirty orange hot mess.

May 21, 2008, 3:19 pm This is a great self tanner for those who are new to self tanners or those of us who don't have the precision of a surgeon required to apply all other tanners without looking like streaky dirty orange hot mess. I use this on my legs early on in the springtime when they need a little beautifying shove to get out there in my skirts and i find the application is easy as putting on regular lotion with none of the streaky blothciness usu. associated with self tanners. Only drawback is the smell..THAT smell, that all self tanners have to a certin degree. My remedy: just layer your own awesome smelling lotion over the tanner and you won't even notice it. Other tip-have to repply it every few days or so once you have your "base"to keep the color up. May 21, 2008, 3:19 pm

    Daughter uses and loves

She loved it, by the end of school, just before tanning and swimming season, she had a nice little slight tan, where she is normally just as white as can be. I believe the extra moisturizing helped her skin to get ready for a summer filled season of fun in the sun. She now uses her spf tanner/lotion and then when she is done swimming for the day after she gets out of the shower, applies this moisturizer and her tan looks incredible, I am so jealous!! I have been using it whenever I get out of the shower now and I like the subtle skin color change and I never go in the sun because I always burn!!! Great product to help enhance your summer tan!!!

    Hey, no streaks!

May 29, 2008, 12:39 pm I have tried other self-tanners in the past and ended up with orange streaks. I was reluctant to try this product but read several good reviews on this and other sites so I decided to give it a try. I am very pale and I totally try to avoid the sun due to a family history of skin cancer, and I was tired of being so white. This product gives a very natural glow and subtle color. I started with the lighter formula and went to the darker one wanting a little more color. I wouldn't mind going a little darker, but for the price, it did a good job with no streaks. Sometimes I skip a day and the color fades gradually, just like a real tan. The smell is a little strong but you do get used to it in a couple of days. Don't let that stop you. I have always liked Jergens products and I am glad to see that science is finally winning the war on the orange people. May 29, 2008, 12:39 pm

    Just the right glow

    by hairballz (9 reviews)
    I've not tried a self-tanner for many years, probably because of bad experiences with the very early self-tanners - who can forget the yellow/orange hands and uneven "tans"?! This is different.

May 23, 2008, 1:39 pm I've not tried a self-tanner for many years, probably because of bad experiences with the very early self-tanners - who can forget the yellow/orange hands and uneven "tans"?! This is different. I like that this goes on like any ol' moisturizing lotion, but then leaves you with just a very mild glow of a tan (though deeper ones are available if you want). I have rosacea, and sometimes a slight tan helps disguise it, but sun is actually a TRIGGER for rosacea, so this is a nice solution. Much more reasonably priced than many of the self-tanner/moisturizers out there. I do still find that I feel like I have to apply it, walk around the house and let it dry thoroughly first before putting clothes over it, but it's a small price to pay. May 23, 2008, 1:39 pm

    Darkest Shade

    by ModernDayWriter (147 reviews)
    I use the darkest shade available because my natural skin color is already at about an NC40. Gave me an even boost of healthy color, a literal "glow". Took about 3 days.

May 23, 2008, 2:20 am I use the darkest shade available because my natural skin color is already at about an NC40. Gave me an even boost of healthy color, a literal "glow". Took about 3 days. The first time I used it, I applied it in the morning and by noon at work, the chemical smell was sort of overwhelming and was bothering me. Now I used the lotion before bed and either shower it off in the morning or layer a regular moisturizer on top of it. The smell is pretty much standard for most DHA self-tanning products, but it's just a small price to pay for healthy skin without sun damage. I love it! May 23, 2008, 2:20 am

May 22, 2008, 6:38 am Noone likes a pasty girl unless your skin looks like Nicole Kidman's!! This product delivers a beautiful light tan without making you look like an oompa loompa! It gives just the right amount of color so that you glow, but not too much so you can keep it a secret...that is if you don't mind the fragrance. It is quite noticable to me when I put it on and if I am heading out the door - sometimes the smell deters me from putting it on. That said, it is a small price to pay for looking fabulous!! One tube lasts me months...so I would say it is a great value for the money. May 22, 2008, 6:38 am

    Wonderful Natural Looking Tan

    by jenny_nichole (2 reviews)
    I absolutely LOVE this product! I have very fair skin and this is just the kind of sunless tanning lotion that I needed. (I used the "Fair Skin Tones" version.)

May 4, 2008, 12:25 pm I absolutely LOVE this product! I have very fair skin and this is just the kind of sunless tanning lotion that I needed. (I used the "Fair Skin Tones" version.) Applied daily, your tan gradually gets darker and darker, so you're in control of how dark your tans gets to be. This is my second season using this and I can't say enough good things about it: it smells great, doesn't streak or stain your skin yellow, and the price is right too! I love that I can start wearing shorts and skirts early in the spring/summer season without being embarrassed or going to a tanning bed either. May 4, 2008, 12:25 pm

April 22, 2008, 2:12 pm i have been using this product for quite a long time; i like it because i dont like to wear foundation; i use the regular body moisturizer on my face; i dont think its worth buying the one made especially for the face because the body one does the same thing and is a bigger tube and cheaper price; i just wish it was made with sp30; i think in future i will spend a little more and buy a product that gives a nice glow but does incorporate a sun protector April 22, 2008, 2:12 pm

    I wanted to like this product. I use Jergens regular lotion and I love it. This "natural glow" lotion though, didn't do it for me.

April 18, 2008, 3:33 pm I wanted to like this product. I use Jergens regular lotion and I love it. This "natural glow" lotion though, didn't do it for me. Idon't know if i chose the wrong shade (I picked medium), but it didn't do anything for me after a week. It wasn't even that moisturizing and the smell was a little off putting. Worst of all, my skin broke out in something - my skin became a little bumpy and uneven. I normally don't have sensitive skin, so i'm not sure what's in this. I discontinued use and my skin returned to normal after a couple days. Maybe I'm one of the few that broke out, but I won't be purchasing it again April 18, 2008, 3:33 pm

Can't they make it so it has no smell. Also for some reason when I use this on my arms it looks okay but if I use it on my legs it looks orange and streaky no matter what I do. I can't believe how they rave about it in magazines like allure, and glamour personally I think it needs a little improvement. March 29, 2008, 11:26 pm
