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

        This product gives a natural tanned look, isn't yellow on my very fair skin, and doesn't turn orange whatsoever. To those angry about the streaks--you have to actually rub everything in. Of course it's not just magic lotion that makes you tan, it colors your skin, so be careful.
        The smell is a little odd, but a little perfume will do. However, you shouldn't really use the lotion before you go out anyway. It is heat activated, so applying it before bed with a shower in the morning is how I have seen my best results.
        For the price and the amount of this lotion, it is amazing!! I haven't run out yet and I've had it for a very long time.
        Just be conscious and don't be lazy-- rub everything in and wait 5 minutes, like it says, before putting any clothing back on. The directions really help, haha.
        Would buy again and again!

            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.

              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.

                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.

                  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.
