Details & care
What it is: A gel that creates a golden, even, beach-chic tan on your face and body and comes in a modern tube with an easy-to-use flip-top cap.
What it does: This non-oily, soothing gel glides over skin for luminous, streak-free results, drying quickly so there's little wait time before dressing. Use it occasionally for the subtle look of sun, or often for a deep-down tan. Aloe vera moisturizes, comforts and softens the skin while shea butter soothes and comforts.
How to use: For a more radiant and even result, exfoliate skin the night before. Apply a small amount of self-tanner with quick, light, sweeping motions, avoiding the eyebrows and hairline. Gently wipe your elbows, knees and heels with a tissue as these areas can turn a darker color. Wash your hands and nails thoroughly after application. Wait a few minutes before dressing.

Great self bronzer
This bronze rise easy to apply, doesn't have a bad smell, looks very natural and I have never had an issue with it looking streaky.

Not perfect for me
I have seen so many great reviews on this product, but I had the worst luck! I was called out by my teens as being orange.. and a self tanner..

I'm In-Between With This...
Pros- Gel formula dries very quickly; looks great the first day or two of applying it.
Cons- STINKS & if you apply it daily, it turns orange & starts to streak at around day 3.
I recommend (if you plan on using this on larger areas of your body-ie legs, arms, etc) to scrub with a non-greasy/non-oily scrub in the shower & then apply this sunless tanner before bed, that way you are tanned & it has set long enough that if you want to rinse off in the morning (because of the smell, and believe me, you will...) you can without it fading.
I would also suggest not applying it for more than two consecutive days (at least on larger areas of your body-particularly your legs), because at around the third day it streaks & turns orangey. The first day or two of applying it does have a nice color, though.

Awesome!
Honestly, this is by far the best sunless product I have used. It is a little sticky as it is drying, so make sure to give yourself a lot of time before you need to get dressed. I put it on at night before bed. The sticky feel is SO WORTH the color you get. I will be purchasing this again!

Works great
This is the only self-tanning product I use now. I have tried many other brands and types. This results in a natural looking tan and it is very even. The smell is different but not unpleasant. It works wonderfully for me.

Winner!
Like a few others reported there is a trace scent which is reminiscent of other self tanners but it is not offensive or distracting. The product was easy to apply, very "spreadable", absorbed quickly with rapid results. I did not end up with streaks on my legs (my trial application before moving up to arms) but had a splotch on one foot where my application was a little over zealous. The next day I reapplied the Clarins exfoliant which helped tone down my mistake.
Overall, this is by far the best self tanning product I have tried and there have been many. I can hardly wait for my 2nd application to add a little more color. As someone with very sensitive skin I can honestly report no irritation even after exfoliating and shaving.
I will purchase again!
