I have been using this self tanner for almost a year now. It goes on easily, gives color and moisture, and shimmers. The only thing you need to remember is to wash your hands after you apply it so that your hands don't tan. This doesn't leave streaks like other tanners. It should be used almost every day or every other day for the tan to look and stay the best. As with any self tanner, wait a little bit before dressing to let it dry and soak in.

Very shimmery, but not refined shimmer- the shimmery flecks seem large (cheap) and transfer very easily. It smells as bad as regular full strength tanners, but delivers only light color. Even after its been on for 8 HOURS it still transfers to bras and other fabrics. the shimmer can't sink in, it just makes a messy residual film. Shimmer aside it DID give a very nice color to my pale white skin with blue veins. May 18, 2008, 12:39 am

this is the best self tanner for face that i've tried! the jergens one smells SO bad (like chemicals and ... ick!) but this one has a light, sweet smell that is not overpowering or offensive. the only complaint that i have is that it's just a little heavy, but it does leave my skin VERY soft (and of course, a bit tan and glowing!)

though it does leave more of a shimmer than I imagine some would like. I use this product in the evening after a shower. I find that using the medium twice in a week gives me a lasting tan for a few weeks that fades naturally. I do think part of the reason for this is that I use oil of olay liquid soap with shea butter, which is very moisturizing, and I also apply shea butter moisturizer about once a week.
This product does have some of the old school odor that original tanners from years back had. It's subtle though, and when applying at night I find it doesn't really bother me.
I haven't had any streaking problem with this product. Nor have I had any transfer problem where it stains clothes. But again, I use it just before going to sleep where I'm in not rush and can let it dry while I relax and wind down for the evening. For the price, I think it's great stuff, and I generally find CVS runs sales for $6 a bottle every few months. You really can't beat that. June 5, 2008, 7:43 am

I am a fair-skinned red head and have tried lots of self tanners and moisturizers (Moisture Tan, Famous Dave's, Jergens, Dove and Neutrogena) and have found this stuff to be the best in terms of being even, believable color without being to dark; however, it seems like after I had been using it a few months, I no longer got any color, it just moisturized my skin, don't know how to explain this, it just stopped working.

I have extremely pasty legs. A full-on tan would look unnatural, but I wanted a product that would take the glare off. I switched to this product from a very similar product from Jergens after Consumer Reports gave it a thumbs up. It does have that self-tanner smell, but it's ever-so-faint and mostly masked by a sweet smell that I like. It takes about three days to see results, but the subtle, natural tan is worth the wait. In the meantime, this product distributes shimmer when you use it. For that reason, I wouldn't put it on before going to bed, but I love to use it on my legs when I wear shorts, a skirt, or a dress.
