    Wonderful when combined with lotion!!

    I bought this product a couple weeks ago. I am naturally pretty pale, so I didn't want to go from pale to extremely tan too fast. I opened the bottle and added in original Curel lotion. (The mix was about 2/3 tanning formula, 1/3 lotion). This worked wonderfully because then i didn't look "orange", I just look tan. I plan to buy it again, and I definitely recommend it. — 3 years ago

    Good, but use every other day

    I used this product every other day as I noticed a bit of an orange tinge the first time I used it. So, yes, it does give you color instantly, but be careful of overuse, especially with pale skin. I switched off every other day with normal body lotion because it also tends to make your skin a bit dry. I had no problems with it staining clothes, my bedsheets, etc. as I put it on before going to bed and washed it off in the shower in the morning. — 3 years ago

    bad.

    Horrible. I figured 'oh, it will slowly build, ill pick this one, no way will it turn me orange'. well, waste of ten bucks. I woke up smelling horrible and with yellowy orange streakings. Does not work. — 3 years, 1 month ago

    my FAVE self tanner!

    I love this tanner above all other tanners! You can "build" the color with each application and it fades away naturally! it does not flake like many other self tanners. I like to wear it to bed and wash it off the next morning, and voila!- nice and tan! — 3 years, 5 months ago

    Okay if you want gradual tanning

    Not the best......but much less costly than others. You must be patient and then you still might not like results. — 3 years, 6 months ago

    Strong smell but pretty good

    It does tan well and evenly but the DHA smell that smells ok at first, gets worse as the day progresses. Also, with ANY self tanner, it does tend to rub off on clothing (bottom inside of shorts and bra straps mostly) — 3 years, 8 months ago

    Neutrogena Build A Tan

    If you're looking for subtle color this one is for you. It doesn't streak and give just a hint of color. If you're looking for extra moisturizing, this product is not for you. — 3 years, 9 months ago

    not the best self tanner...at all

    this stuff stinks, takes forever to build a noticeable change in color, and the color fades as soon as you get it. — 4 years ago
