Customer Reviews:

Before my sister-in-law’s wedding, I used Neutrogena Micro-mist spray tan and it turned out terrible! Streaks, super dark lines and orange spots! I was devastated and almost too mortified to go to the wedding in my new dress. As a last ditch effort (hours before the wedding) I got this self tanner and put it over my legs and arms in an attempt to even things out. It was AMAZING! It toned down the crappy job from the spray tan and left me with an almost completely even, natural looking color. I will never use another self tan product but this one!

This product is awesome. I live in the Caribbean. I spent 10 yrs sailing the Caribbean. I now live in Tortola BVI and don’t do the beach and sun like I used too. I am 56 and know the damage sun can do, but to be tan I really didn’t care. Somehow I look much better than I should, due to Retin A, but prefer to be tan. Based on the reviews, I tried this product, and even though I am always tan, this product enriched my color and without lying out in the sun everyday, I look great. No orange, have had no issues with it staining my clothes, dries quickly, and the color is nice, not orange. Just wash your hands well after applying. I usually apply in the am, get dressed and on my way. I just ordered another 4 tubes, but they won’t ship down here so have them sent to my sister and she mails them down. I told her to keep a tube (she lives in Fla.) and try it. I highly recommend it, and I have tried a lot. Typically they won’t go beyond my initial tan, but this one works.

I highly recommend it because this is the ONLY TAN that doesn’t streak AND doesn’t clog pores! The tinted self tanners are the ones that streak and stains. Also, they’ll easily fade away with the first shower! But this one is so easily applied you just smooth it in and it will dry out with NO STREAKS plus a golden hue!! NOT ORANGE!
ways to apply it is u should exfoliate 1st then apply lotion all over (if you’re applying it to your face then u should moisturize it because thats what I do), wait for it to get absorbed by the skin for 15-30 mins then apply the clarins self tanner. If you want a darker color re-apply it after 3 hrs or so. THE BEST!

My skin is very light, thin and burns easily so I’m always looking for a good self tanner. This one is really nice because it works quickly and I have yet to see any lines or streaks which would show up easily on my skin. It doesn’t settle into your fingernails while you are applying it and it seems to dry quickly. Now, you won’t get a deep dark tan in one applaication, but it’s nice to put it on and then go out to dinner with glowing skin. You end up looking very healthy without overdoing it.

Being the self tanning guru that I am (I’ve tried Jergens, Loreal, Hawaiian Tropic, you name it) I finally decided to dish out a few more bucks and try Clarins self tanning instant gel. It’s the most natural looking self tanner I’ve used, doesn’t streak, dries pretty fast and I don’t think it smells that bad. The downside is that it’s very subtle, and I had to reapply three days in a row to get a deeper tan. After two applications I had a slight tan and had some comments made at work the next day. I’m naturally pretty pale. It looks great and I’d buy it again, but for as much as it costs I wish it was a little more dramatic, because I’m already halfway through the tube and it’s been three days!
