Neutrogena Build-a-Tan Gradual Sunless Lotion

Of the gradual tanners, this gets the darkest results the quickest (you get a full shade darker in about four days as opposed to six or seven with Jergens). And the color is pretty natural looking. But with the stronger level of the tanning ingredient DHA comes a few complications: The stinky chemical smell is a little stronger and it's easier to get streaks -- especially if you're pale. And rope off a good 10 minutes to hang out naked, since it takes longer than the fives minutes it claims to dry.
