Lousy!

By Jackie

from Annapolis, MD

Comments about Neutrogena Build-A-Tan Gradual Sunless Tanning:

I have fair skin. I tried this, as I have tried several other brands. I was highly disappointed in this product. I applied it lightly and evenly, carefully applying to the porous areas like knees, elbows, and ankles. It was streaky and orange. Absolutely would NOT recommend! Lousy!

Comments about Neutrogena Build-A-Tan Gradual Sunless Tanning:

I bought this on the whim. I don't usually use self tanners, but with spring break coming up I wanted to get a bit of a tan before the break. I was a little nervous using a drugstore brand tanner, but since it was "gradual" I figured nothing too bad could happen. This product isn't the worst- I have seen really bad fake tans. But, its definitely not the best. It has a really weird smell that lasts until you shower again. When you do shower, you can actually see the color coming off in the shower. It also came off on some clothes. The color was okay at first, but as I kept using it my skin started looking too yellow, instead of a tan look. I would not buy this again... I'm sure I can find something better.

    Comments about Neutrogena Build-A-Tan Gradual Sunless Tanning:

    I have fair skin (could say white) with freckles, so most bronzers are just too dark for me. This one builds upon itself and leaves me with a natural look. It's easy to apply, and the product doesn't rub off on my clothes. In addition, the volume of product in this container lasts quite a long time.

      For the price of this self tanner it is worth every penny. Great even tan coverage no orange streaks. The color is great to make you tan or give you a youthful glow. You have controll over the coverage and color you want. One of the best self tanners on the market.

      Comments about Neutrogena Build-A-Tan Gradual Sunless Tanning:

      I used this product for a week and saw no signs of tan. You couldn't tell I had even been using anything. It's false advertisement by saying you can increase your tan with each application and it shows up within 8 hours. I was not satisfied with this product and this is the second time I've bought a tanning lotion from ulta and neither of them worked.

        Comments about Neutrogena Build-A-Tan Gradual Sunless Tanning:

        I love this product. It colors my skin so naturally that people ask where I got my tan! The smell is pleasant and compared to other sunless tanners, that is a real advantage. I do recommend that you first use lotion or oil and put the tanner on top to avoid streaks. Also rub it in horizontally across your legs and arms to avoid streaks. I have very fair skin and use this product year round to add some color to my skin. In the summer months I use it every other day to look sun kissed.

              I have very pale skin and have to use self tanning lotions to get any color in my skin. I really like this product. The results were super quick, and I was quite happy with it. The only thing I don't like about it was the amount of yellow hue in it. When I tan I get a dark tan. This lotion delivered a nice golden tan. I would definitely purchase this product again.

                Comments about Neutrogena Build-A-Tan Gradual Sunless Tanning:

                I bought this product thinking it would be a hassle-free subtle self-tanner similar to Jergens Natural Glow. Absolutely not the case! This lotion has a very distinct self-tanner smell, which is highly undesireable. It also leaves streaks unless you are very very careful how you blend it in. I'd recommend Jergens Natural Glow or the Nivea brand version above this product. I will not buy it again.
