Most Helpful Positive Review Love! These are all full size products in this kit. Just the express tan and mit are more than the kit. So you're getting the gradual tan for free. Anyway, It has turned my skin a beautiful golden brown. No streaking. No weird smells. I'll definitely be repurchasing!
Most Helpful Critical Review Caused rash I used to use cheap self tanners in high school. I stopped when I went to college because many of them began to give me a rash.
I decided I'd like to try them again, so I went with St. Tropez in hopes that a higher quality tanning product would do the trick without causing me to break out. I explained my concerns to the Ulta staff and this is the product they recommended.
I was surprised when I first put it on - it smelled better than most tanners and I wasn't itchy! I was in love.
As the product developed for 2 hours I realized that a slight rash had begun to form on my legs. I didn't think much of it because it was subtle, and it was time for me to rinse off anyway. Turns out the rash continued to grow and spread throughout the night.
The color developed nicely, though it does make you smell like a biscuit like most self tanners do. However, it's hard to enjoy my tan when I have raging hives all over my body. Sadly, the rash doesn't appear to be going away any time soon... I will be returning this item.
Let's just hope it fades quickly and evenly.
Reviewed by 101 customers Gradual tanner is awful 1
T from Pennsylvania
I didn't get this kit I just got the in shower gradual tanner but ulta doesn't have it on the site to review. I just want people to know the gradual tanner is awful. First it smells terrible so you shower get clean and then make yourself smell like tanner again. Second it dried my skin out more than not using any lotion at all, even though it says hydrating. And lastly it doesn't do anything, I tried giving it multiple chances used it for a week in a row and got zero results. Even tried leaving it on for longer then 3 minutes, still nothing. Terrible product do not recommend
Allergic reaction 1
Caiterz from Alabama
I don't know what is in the shower lotion that isn't in every other one of their lotions but it gave me a severe allergic reaction. After about a minute of having it on my legs started to burn, then my arms, and I thought maybe it was just a warming sensation at first but as I was re-reading the back of the bottle I saw my whole body break out in hives and I began to freak out and try to wash it off with soap as fast as possible.
I've never had this reaction to any other product from them and it was definitely freaky. I'm so glad I didn't put it on my neck or face! It took DAYS for all the hives to go away and a lot of benadryl which really sucked.
GARBAGE MIT 3
princess from ohio
The mit belongs in the garbage! Made my hands orange and ive been doing self tan for a long time... Everything else is good though.
I would not buy this product again 2
Muffin from Allentown PA
It's messy,not a good color and after application in the shower you have to stand there three min no water, freezing, until you can rinse it off
Perfect tan for a novice self-tanner 5
sidney marieeee from Amarillo, Texas
I'm terrible at self-tanning but not with this kit. I get a flawless tan in minutes.
Throughly impressed 5
K from Pittsburgh, PA
Easy to apply. No streaks. Nice golden color. No Orange. Simple directions. I love how I can build tan to achieve the color I want. Would recommend!
Orange 1
Renee from Alabama
One word… orange 🥴 I used this last season and it was a nice pretty brown color, so I purchased another bottle this year and not the same thing at all. I had to take it back and get a refund. Beware lol!
Love the product! 5
Lady D from Charlotte, NC
Tanned my fair skin perfectly!
Intense tan 4
Leesha Peesha from Alaska
I am so pleased with the results! I am a very pale person and have used many other brands of self tanner. From prior experiences I thought it was better to wait for two hours for a medium tan. Nope! My tan was much darker than I expected afterwards. Which is great!! Now I know to wait only one hour for a more natural gradation from my pale skin to something with more color lol. It lasted for about a week and half with no maintenance. Tan was even all over and faded beautifully.
Also, the in shower tanner didn't give any results that I could see and has a bad smell but it leaves you super smooth.
Not Happy 2
Anna1968 from Athens, AL
I used the lotion per the instructions and no change in my color. I will go back to my Jergens Tanner which cost 7.00 and can see results.
I would buy this product again 5
Sunshine from Greensboro, NC
Good tanning product, gives a light golden tan. Easy to apply and use.
First time self tanning. LOVE THIS PRODUCT 4
Kelly from VA
This was my first time ever using a self tanner and I was super nervous to try it and afraid of turning orange. I just went for it and absolutely love this product. I bought the kit mainly for the mousse and the applicator mitt, I haven't tried the gradual tanner. The mousse dries really fast and I started with two pumps of it for every part of my body and added one more if needed to cover all areas. I followed all of the instructions and after my body was covered I didn't feel wet at all. I felt a tiny bit sticky but it wasn't a big deal, I immediately put some clothes on and it didn't transfer. I even laid in my bed with white sheets and none of the product transferred. I ended up leaving the product on for 3 hours and would check every hour to see how dark I was getting. The tan looked so natural for me, like I went to the beach for a week. I ended up doing it again the next day for another 3 hours and achieved the perfect tan for myself. It doesn't get super dark, I would definitely have to do it a few times because I was pale but I have a really nice golden tan right now. It doesn't look orange at all and I had no problems with streaking of the product but I made sure to apply in circular motions and make sure it was really blended and also made sure to rinse everything in the shower.
The only reason I give it 4 stars is because this shade is not for all skin types. I'm half italian and I have some olive undertones so it looked really natural for me but for someone who has red undertones this might not be the product for them.
I wouldn't buy again 2
Lori from OK
It's very sticky, It never feels like it dries. It doesn't seem like it goes on very well either. Has a slight orange tint to it it also. I have tried other brands that worked better and didn't feel as sticky as this.
YIKES 1
Wendy from .
I only used the in shower tanner, and it was horrible! I followed instructions as it said. Within hours I started to get bumps all over my legs and as the days went by they got bigger and worse. I will probably be left with nasty scars on my legs after using this product.
Not for me 1
Bran from Tennessee
Loved the tan this gave me however, it gave me a terrible rash every where the product touched! It doesn't smell the best either.
Amazing! 5
Sarah from Myrtle beach, SC
I am always hesitant about purchasing self tanners! This product is amazing! Highly recommend!
Best self tanner EVER 5
Beachbum91 from Myrtle Beach
This is the BEST self tanner ever. It gives a good color and my pale skin is looking like my summer glow in winter. The stinky tanner smell you get in all other tanners is almost nonexistent. I would feel confident putting it on and going on a date. It smells good like a sort of tanning lotion. I like to use it 2 days in a row to get the color I want for now and then use it again 2 days later because it fades. I'd probably use every other day in summer. I pair it with the st tropez self tan face mist on face and neck. I haven't used the shower stuff yet because you have to put it on and stand around 3 minutes cold and wet then shower off but I have high hopes for it. Will use on just legs in summer.
System works w/ a downside 2
Boatgirl729 from Wichita, KS
This system gives great color except it is so sticky tacky & never feels dry. You leave it on for hours and it's pretty uncomfortable. Better tanners w/o the wet feeling.
BEST self tanner! ✨ 5
Jen from Olathe, Kansas
Mouse is my most favorite and super easy to use! Love that it does not streak and no smell. Whether you need a quick tan or using to maintain a safe tan look.

Patty from Vienna, Va
I love the instant tan but it is hard to evenly do your feet. Also, I was supposed to receive a free gift with my purchase and it was not in the package.
I love it! 5
Jeanine from GA
The color looks great and isn't orange.
Best self tanner 5
SusiW from Illinois
This is the best self tanner by far. Easy to apply and great color.
Love this product 5
Sydney from Barboursville, WV
This kit is a great deal. All the products are full sized and great quality. The mitt is a bit flimsy and poked a hole in it with my nail after a few uses but I ordered a new St Tropez mitt as a replacement. This was the first self tanning product I have ever used and it worked great for me.
