Most Helpful Positive Review I will continue to buy this I purchased my first bottle in store and that was it since then I have ordered six to eight more and are on the way, along with a plethora of other tanning items. Let me start by saying this, IF YOU DO NOT DO THE PROPER PREP WORK YOUR TAN WILL TURN OUT HORRIBLE NO MATTER WHAT PRODUCTS YOU USE. You have to shower, exfoliate, shave, and moisturize. With shaving, if you plan on applying right after what I like to do is rinse off or set in cool water to close my pores. You can not simply buy the product and apply it with no prep. What I did was watch a lot of YouTube videos and tutorials to see exactly how to minimize errors. Once it was time for me to apply I did a decent job for my first application. Each time you do it you will get better but for my first time it went well. Work from your feet up and in small sections for best results. Once done allow to dry fully before dressing and make sure once dried fully you properly moisturize again and often. But I love the ease of application, the length it lasts, the ease of removal even without removal products, and the color pay off. Also the bottle says gradual tanner and will build a medium tan if used everyday but I seen a big difference after one use. If you use a soft body rag/scrubber and a light body scrub or no body scrubber you could even apply the tanner every other day to save some money.
Most Helpful Critical Review Horrible - quick return I have very fair skin. I was looking for a bronzer for my legs. Product seemed to go on ok, and dried quickly. The color it started with was dark enough for me. OMG by the time about 2 hours went by my legs looked like I had rolled around in dry dirt. And the smell... Dear God in Heaven the smell was horrible. Half way thought my work day (about 6 hours after my application) I stunk so bad I had to go home on my lunch hour to shower. The color was so dark and uneven... I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. I returned it the next day.
Reviewed by 62 customers Great self tanner- even for beginners! 5
Gracie from Atlanta ga
Honestly, I am new to self tanning. I am very fair with strawberry blonde hair- so I didn't want anything that made me look orange. I was really nervous it would make me orange but it didn't! This tanner was the perfect shade! I picked it up because for the price I figured why not. I had been looking into self tanning for a while but some of them are SUPER expensive. I took a chance on this and I am honestly so pleased with it. 😊
Love 5
Barb from Michigan
I have been using this for about 5 months and I love it! For the price point it delivers a very natural glowing look. The smell is a little weird. Personally I usually apply it twice a week because it tends to last a while. Make sure to blend it well and take your time, but I found it's pretty forgiving and not terribly streaky. I would definitely give this a try if you were considering.
Very drying and patchy 2
ashley12 from Chicago
After I showered it off, the color stayed on my skin well, however it was very streaky and didn't stay on in some areas despite applying a very good amount all over. It also made my skin absolutely parched and dry, especially my face, so I would recommend using something else on your face. It gets the job done for the price but I prefer other tanning mousse brands much more.
My favorite tanner 5
JustMe from Southern CA
Love this. Lightweight, blends easily, no stickiness. Very little smell. I am quite fair skinned, and I see nice color after just one use.
I will continue to buy this 5

Works exactly like it says! But the smell was a let down 4
Abigail from Michigan
It gives a beautiful natural tan--just follow the instructions and it turns out beautifully. I love that since there is no guide color, it doesn't stain anything. The only thing I didn't like was the smell. It was pretty strong, and others could smell it on me. So people could tell you had some kind of product on you lol. Other than that, I liked it!
No 3
Jen from At George Ut
Works quick and the downfall is it's a little orange and I already have olive complexion so the orange stands out a bit
Doesn't stain and nice tan 4
Claudia from California
Just 1 or 2 applications worked great for my light skin. Non-streaky when used with a mitt, even without a guide color, and not orange! It also didn't stain my sheets or clothing.
It does feel slightly sticky after application, takes about 15 minutes to feel fully dry and set.
SO beginner friendly! 5
Mac from Michigan
Awesome product. Read the bottle and apply it daily. The bad reviews are flukes! Probably karma.
Underrated 5
kirsten from blacksburg virginia
this was the first self tanner I ever bought. most people think it's better to have a color guard for your first self tanner but this one leaves a shine, almost like a lotion, so you can see where you're putting it as long as you have decent lighting. I think the reason people don't see a difference is because they aren't using it correctly. it says on the bottle to use daily to build a tan. you could even wait for it to dry and apply a second coat. I really like this especially for the price
This is GREAT! 5
Court from KY
I was super hesitant to buy this because of other reviews. I am so glad I took a chance anyway! I was so tired of always having to rinse off tinted mouses and if I had to sleep in it the stain it would leave on my sheets. This fixes both of those things! No stain and no need to rinse in the morning because it doesn't stink! It actually smells like coconut and never gives off that traditional tanner scent. Gives you a light color after one application! So glad I decided to try this one vs the $32 one next to it on the shelf.
Not impressed 2
KC23 from OKC
It's supposed to be a gradual tanner but put I would put it on my face in the morning and in the evening and barely got any color. I didn't wash my face for three days hoping to keep the color, but as soon as I showered, washed my hair and got my face wet, what little color I had washed off. I'm very light skinned so I should've seen more than what I did.
Great for super fair skin 5
Jen from Oceanside
I have ghost like pale skin. I can't even tan in the sun if I try! I use this when I need a little color. Not much but just a notch up. It looks natural and even. It fades back to my normal tone after 2 days and then I need to reapply. You should def use an applicator mitt. If you get unsightly build up just use baby oil in those areas to smooth out the mistakes.
Great product 5
Lynna from Los Angeles
Great product, use 3toimes a week after showering
Great for fair skin 5
Carolyn from North Carolina
I'm very fair skinned and have a nice tan on my arms and chest from being out on the lake, but wanted to tan my legs. This gave a very nice bronze tan, no orange. No transfer on my white sheets. I added a pump of lotion to my legs with the mousse and got a very even tan, no streaks. A little tacky at first, but seemed pretty "set" within an hour or so. Day 2 seems to be wearing well. Great so far.
Splotchy! 1
Brittany S from Geneva, OH
When I first applied I thought I was happy but the next day it immediately became splotchy and uneven.
beginner friendly 5
babs from mi
I was nervous trying this because it's been a long time since I tried to self tan as long as you use a mitt this is so easy to apply you won't get any streaks I would suggest watching a couple of videos on YouTube to see the technique it's so easy just follow the directions. the good thing is you can use this one daily and you just gradually build your tan to what you wanted to be and maybe orangie on some I have pink undertones so it comes to a perfect tan for me it's natural it looks just like if I would have tanned in the bed or in the Sun really glad I chose this product to start off with and I'll definitely be buying it again
Love it 5
Bobbi from Farmington, NM
Looks very natural, not orange. Sticky when you first put it on.
Smells SO BAD 1
sarita from TEXAS
the other Ulta tanners smell better, this one gives me actual nausea. I wanted to like it. Other wise not bad, but not great
Great for the Price 5
Elizabeth from Louisiana
This beats all self-tanners of similar price to me. It's just makes a small difference on me,but that's what I want. most importantly, it doesnt make me look orange like most others do.You have to blend it out of course, but it's pretty easy to get an even looking application with this one.
It also lasts through a couple showers if you use a gentle soap. so worth it!
Pretty great 5
Jenn from Philadelphia
Got this after using tan luxe. I think it smells better. Works great!
Loved this!! So easy and gave me a natural color! 5
LisaM123 from New Jersey
At first was nervous because I couldn't see color, then it was orange, but once I showered it was such a nice natural color!! This was the first time I used self tanner on my own and it was not hard at all for me!!!
Be careful!!! Clear for alittle then hits you like a truck ! 3
LisMarie23 from New Jersey
BE CAREFUL. since it comes out clear and takes a couple hours to set be careful how much you put on!! Came out darker then expected even if it doesn't seem that way at first!
Gives Significant Color 4
K10 from Sneads Ferry
I love trying self tanners and am always trying a new one. I like that this one has a nice light scent, almost like coconuts. It does take awhile to dry down, more so than a mousse but it doesn't tend to stain or rub off as easily as those do. It does build a nice tan that has a natural glow!
Great Product, very impressed 4
Lauren from NJ
i wanted to try self tan mousse for the first time. i felt this was a good starter and was a good price because i didnt want to spend almost 30-40 dollars on a high end brand. I read the comments about the smell, it does have a smell but goes away once dry. my skin is glowing and has a great bronze look. i will definitely buy this again
