perfect color, no mitt needed!
I usually use sunless tanners on my legs only but have a hard time avoiding streaks. This provides amazing color after just one use—comparable to the color of a regular tanner instead of a gradual lotion—and is easy to apply without a mitt. It does take several minutes to dry fully, so it’s best to apply after the shower and let it dry while you get your makeup on etc. The initial watermelon scent is nice, and once it fades there is only a slight sunless tanning scent. This is now a permanent fixture in my personal care stash!

Smells watermelon, but orange color
St Tropez Gradual Tan-- tried for a week, but unhappy with the un-natural color. It does smell like watermelon though.

My New Favorite!
My new favorite! I have a fair complexion and this gives me a very nice tan, not orange at all. I use this on my face too and haven't had any issues. It's easy to apply and has a nice watermelon fragrance that's not overpowering. It does end up smelling like self tanner as the day progresses, but again it's not overpowering.

Best I have used
Lotion smells great! The scent does fade after a couple of hours & begins to smell like sunless tanner. All sunless tanners have a smell...and I have tried SO many over the years. The smell is unavoidable. Beyond the smell (which is not nearly as bad as some) the application is super simple - no mitts, no foam, no guessing - put it on like a lotion. The best part is there is no streaks, no blotchiness, and no orange hue. This is the most even, buildable lotion. The color is natural looking. I use for three days in a row and then take a break for three days. Hands down the best I have used! Think the Jergens gradual tan lotion but 100x better.

it smells like self tanner
Yeah I don’t know what everyone else is smelling. It smells like watermelon for a minute and the. Goes back to smelling like self tanner. It dries quickly which is a plus when getting dressed but wash your hands as soon as you finish rubbing in. I would say that it didn’t look orange.

Amazing smell, doesn't streak
I bought this off the recommendation from a friend. I always get really close to buying St Tropez tan products as they are considered the best in the industry, but then one review about it being streaky makes me balk. This lotion is so easy and not streaky or orange! I followed the instructions - run in thoroughly and wait until you're dry yo put on clothes and after minimal usage I am definitely tanner. The smell is amazing. Have since recommended to two friends, and will be buying again.

Great tanner!
The tan is not as gradual as i thought, i got pretty tan in 2-3 uses. I thought it would take longer. Smells good. No streaks, very good blending.
