Most Helpful Positive Review I think this is my forever tanner I've tried several tanners over the years and although this one isn't perfect (because will self tanner ever be perfect??) it's really good. I'm fair skinned so one application doesn't give me the BEST payoff. But it does give me some color and make me look alive. Two applications and I'm golden. Not brown, not orange. It looks very natural to me.
Overall, here are my favorite things about this product:
It's not super dark. So if you miss a spot you're okay and it doesn't transfer all over my sheets and clothes the way other tanners do. It's buildable and looks smooth without over drying. If you're willing to take the time, this will give you a great result.
It comes off easily. Some people may not like this but I apply my tanner about every other day because I like to keep it fresh. I don't apply once a week and expect it to look good. Other tanners are impossible to get off. Even with the tan eraser, they linger and stick to my dry spots. But this one scrubs right off with a loofa so when I'm ready to take it off, it's not a problem.
Lastly, it's affordable. Self tanner is getting a little ridiculous and there's just no reason for it to cost as much as some brands charge. Bondi keeps it reasonable which I really appreciate and their products are still the best I've tried so far.
This one hasn't let me down yet so I think it's a keeper.
It doesn't smell very much. In the moment, no smell. The next morning there is a smell but it's not overpowering.
Most Helpful Critical Review Madi Mcleod I applied it and it looked really nice and natural i then noticed the transferring onto other parts of my body, but not onto the clothes i put on. i had seen some people said it dried straight away. i find that it is better than their dark tan which is my usual go to, but still not as good as others. I love the idea that it is no wash off tan which is perfect for myself, how ever for myself whom is very pale it sort of looks see through to a certain extent. I have been tanning for years and remove it properly the day before but this tan just isn't as amazing as it was made out to be. So upset about it. Lets hope i wake up with a better colour then im going to bed with. I have an event tomorrow and since this is no wash off i may be able to do another coat tomorrow morning. I feel this would be nicer for people with naturally olive skin.

I have always been a bed tanning girl because the few times I tried self tan I ended up looking orange. However after great reviews I decided to try this one out and it literally works so amazing!! I even tried the regular bondi sands tanning foam and this one is way better. No transfer, no orange, not streaky at all and literally makes you look like a glowing goddess that just left a beach trip. A must try!!!
love the color 5
Me from here and there
I've tried all the bondi sands self Tanner and I think my favorite is the ultra dark. I start the nite before and exfoliate my skin the next morning I get up early and self tan away I leave it on about 6 hours while I'm doing my every-day stuff and the end of the day I rinse off then next morning I love my bronze glow. Now I am usually lite skin and this makes me at least 3 to 4 shaded darker. then when I shower the next day I don't use my body puff I use my hands and then puff on special areas, lol in really love the product I've used since I've been 1yrs old and I'm 52 and I have not had any streaking at all.. worth the money and that a good price!!!
By far the best self tanner on the market! 5
Lolo from Chicago, IL
I'm a regular user of self tanner & have tried EVERYTHING on the market and this product is by far the best, with color application, does not streak, drys super fast and doesn't smell horrendous, like all other expensive brands! My one suggestion whenever you apply self tanner is wear a pair of rubber throw away gloves while applying it and remove them and apply the product once on your hands then washes your palms of your hands immediately and let everything dry for literally 5 minutes & get dressed in any cute white outfit. It's crazy how this doesn't get on your clothes. It's beyond SHOCKING and I'm overjoyed!! Thank you so much for finally coming out with a product that actually works & doesn't stink!

Doesn't Last 3
Mayra from California
I love the color this develops into but it doesn't last at all. So far I have used it 3 seperate times and the color only lasts 2 days!! What a bummer!
Works great 5
Rachel from Texas
Good color payoff, not streaky. It just has a bit of a smell but I don't mind it.
You need this!! 5
Elaine from United States
One of the best tanners I have ever used! It doesn't have a color guide so it doesn't stain your sheets if you use it at night! It dries super quickly so no sticky uncomfortable feeling! I do either one coat if I want a light tan or two coats if I'm wanting a darker tan! It's perfect!
Orangggeeee 1
Kris from Yellowstone
I normally love bondi sands products but this one is the worst tan I've tried across the board. It streaks and goes super dark in some spots and washes right off of others maybe I just got a bad bottle but I will not be repurchasing. I look like a patchy Cheeto.
Realistic, dark tan, but apply carefully!! 4
Carley from Augusta, GA
I use this product all over my legs, arms, and shoulders. I have another product that I use for my face, neck and chest. First impressions: within one hour, it starts to develop and you can see exactly where you missed spots. It does get a bit streaky. After my first application in the morning, I showered and exfoliated that night. My streaks did fade some after this, and it looked great!! Lasted for around 5-7 days before I reapplied. I used my hand for first application since I did not have a mitt or gloves with me. Second application, I used nitrile/rubber gloves and it went on much nicer.
Not like the original 1
Vegasbeauty from Vegas
Original dark is so much better and Lasts. This stuff has zero color guard, and lasted one day before it started to get patchy. Absolutely awful and is getting returned. I will be using the original dark mousse from now on. Also, it literally looks orange, whereas the original has a natural color and actually looks like a real tan.
100% will keep using 5
Cece from Grand Rapids, MI
I've used the Jergens lotion before and never got results and after hours of looking for a good self tanner, I decided to try this one and I'm so happy I did. After my first application, I went to sleep with it on since it said keep on at least for 6 hours and I woke up so, so tan. For reference, my foundation shade is Estée Lauder 1N...
Beautiful streak-free color 5
Taylor from Oregon
This is the best tanner i have ever tried. It's not super dark, but that just means it fades really nicely and lasts a long time! It is very hydrating and smells great.
Gold-not orange 5
Haley from Tuscaloosa, AL
I'm in love with this stuff. It gave me a nice color. I came back from vacation and had a bit of a tan, but it was fading. So I gave myself a nice coat of this and I looked like I was just in the sun again. It has a good coconut scent, not overbearing, just pleasant. Rubs in good, not streaky either. Will be my go-to.
Best one i've tried 5
Natalia H from NYC
I have light skin, n20. For me the tan applied evenly with no streaks, natural looking.
This is better than Loving Tan (which was too dark even at medium, and did not apply as evenly) - and Coola (where the nozzle failed to disperse reasonable amounts of products).
The foam comes out nice, I use a mitt to distribute.
Liquid Gold Perfection 5
Shauna from Undisclosed
I have received so many compliments about how NATURAL-looking the liquid gold is. Since it's summertime, people think I've been out to the beach a ton ;)

Golden glow 5
Karissa from Undisclosed
This is my favorite self tanner. It smells of coconut, has a faint color guide to ensure an easy application, and doesn't easily flake off of my dry skin. I do use the gradual tanning milk every other day or two to keep my tan refreshed and hydrated. The color develops into a nice golden olive tone and looks very natural. Love this!
Love this stuff! 5

Liquid gold 5
Sarah from Undisclosed
Liquid gold is my absolute favourite tan - I feel so glowing and people always say how nice my tan is! And also how real it looks. Couldn't recommend enough - only thing is because it stays on skin so well it can be so hard to scrub it off when you're wanting it all off to start a fresh (as if you don't do this is can eventually go patchy).
Highly recommended 5

Gabriella from Undisclosed
The first time I used this I was a bronzed beauty. Fell in love. Second two times my legs and arms were a bit streaky. Still enjoy the tan face though. Smells like a good fake tan. The mitt is nice and soft!
