Wonderful GREEN based self tan! I've noticed most of the negative reviews mention this. Please educate yourselves on the color wheel for more info! A lot of higher end tanning products have either a Violet or a Green base! Those colors CANCEL OUT UNWANTED ORANGE/YELLOW/RED COLORS! The result means a cool Brown shade AFTER showering, as in your final color...minus the green. If you're looking for a more golden shade or a bronze I wouldn't recommend this unless you layer with another brand. I don't personally like the bronze color on my skintone, but possible recommendations would be the Liquid Gold line from Bondi Sands for that bronze undertone. This is more of a cool medium brown and a second coat will get you to a dark range. If you're afraid of it being too dark at first application, try the original Brazilliance Plus lotion from Tarte which is awesome too. The lotion is a lighter end result and very natural. I also find that product has less of the reactionary "self tan" smell. This formula does, however, ANY self tan in the darker colors will because of the increased ingredient of DHA. DHA is what creates the color change of your skin by reacting with your dead skin cells, therefore the deeper color you want, the more DHA needed, the more you notice the scent. It does fade away once you shower at your preferred time interval. Overall great formula and great skin conditioning ingerdients!
Worst self tanner I have ever bought. I self tan all year round. I wanted to try something a little darker for a change. It was a mistake. This tanner goes on dark but you can no leave the house with it on it looks and smells horrible. It does not go on smoothly. It's blotchy and streaky. It is horrible. after you shower you are left with patches and steaks just of a lighter shade. Do not waste your money.

This product comes out green but when applies to skin is a beautiful dark tan! It absolutely has no smell on my skin. I do have to apply daily for the darker tan.
Bre from Ohio
The reason why it is green is to neutralize red tones to create a golden tan. I really love this stuff, and even if it applies streaky, when washed off it evens out and looks beautiful. I either put on two coats for extra longevity or use b. tan glow your own way and then this as a second coat since b.tan tends to be more red based which I am not a fan of. I've tried a lot of self tanners and this is my favorite.

I gave this a try over my go-to, St Tropez, thinking it would potentially be a better product, as it's more expensive. I was wrong, however. This product is GREEN—so green that my applicator mitt now appears permanently grass stained. I've tried products that had a greenish-hue, but never as green as this one. I am angry I spent the amount of money I did on this product.

Turned my body green. It came out of the bottle green, but I hoped for the best. Wrong.

Then by this product!!! It came out HULK green. No joke. It turned my skin HULK green. It died my product applicator, now RUINED, HULK green. So if you dream to look like the Hulk, shoot, girl, the product is all yours! Have at it! I would give it ZERO stars but I can't.

This was mailed to me since it's an online only order. My first bottle was lost in the mail. After waiting the required time to send me a new bottle the foam was green when I used it. I had this product last year and the foam was brown and gave an instant nice color. I read that if the tanner is stored in heat then it turns the foam green. I think it's still safe to use, but the color won't turn pretty until it's finished developing. I was very disappointed since I absolutely loved this product last year and it's not cheap.

I am returning this to the store! It pours out green from the bottle and gives your legs a greenish tint. It does not tan after it dries. The only thing that gets a "tarnish" color is the palm of your hand.

Excellent product! I've been looking for a rapid self-tanner that doesn't have orange undertones. This tanner is perfect.
Cristina from Chicago
Finally a self tanner that doesn't give a yellow/orange tint on my neutral skin tone. It's so hard finding a self tanner that has a green/olive undertone to it to combat yellow/orange looking tans. All the negative reviews complaining that it's green don't know about color theory. It's supposed to be that shade and it turns into a great looking tan, especially after that first shower. I'm very pale with super neutral-olive skin tone and putting one layer of this on leaves me with a great bronzed look. I usually put on another layer before bed and while it does look greener with that second layer it washes off great. It's not super strong smelling and dispenses nicely.

Turned me green and smelled like a dirty tanning bed. I will be returning it!

I love this self tanner! It gives me a beautiful dark tan. It NEVER streaks and goes on easy. I recommend putting this tanner on with a mitt. For those saying its "green" You have to rub it completely into your skin and it will turn a bronze natural color. You may also be using too much. A little goes a long ways. It takes 2 hours for your tan to fully develop. If it isn't dark enough, reapply. A "Green Base" fake tanner is the most popular fake tan base because it looks great on pretty much everyone by giving you a natural tan finish that isn't orange.
Bronzer from Evansville Indiana
The color is a green color. Very streaky. I'm dark skinned and just wanted a bronzed look and I got that but balls up and rubs off. Would not buy again
Crystal from AR
This product is easy to apply but does not have the affect that I have seen in reviews. I am disappointed.

I just got mine the other day. The bronze color was green. Meaning the product was old. So not sure what to do, I didn't want to leave it on so I rinsed off. will return and a different brand.
Emmy from Chippewa Falls, WI
I wish this wasn't a limited time product because I love this mousse! Even coverage, nice natural dark color, and no bad smell! Plus it stays on and doesn't transfer. The Tarte tanning mit also worked perfect with this product. 10/10 would buy again!!
Lulu93 from MO
I LOVE the color of this bronzer! It's so beautiful and dark! It gives that deep dark bronzed tan. The downside is most of it comes off in the shower & literally last a day or two. I will be returning & prob won't reach for it again due to how long it last. This is the second self tanner (new to the fake bake) I've used. Disappointed bc the color is so beautiful.
MEWREX from Virginia
The great thing about this is that it didn't have that "self-tanner" smell (the only positive). I followed the directions perfectly. I just did a swatch test. After the time was up and I rinsed it off, I looked at it the next day. Zero color. So I tried it again and put another self-tanner that I normally use next to it. Still nothing with this one. Great color with my normal brand. I will be returning this as soon as the stores open long enough for me to drop it off.
***** from Boise Idaho
I have used many self tanners and this is BY FAR the best I have tried! The color is a nice bronze/brown on my very fair skin. The DHA smell is hardly noticable which is very important to me. The fact that I can go from pale to quite tan in only 2 hours is a huge game changer. Please don't stop making this product!!!

I love the color of this self-tanner. It's just a deep dark brown. I put it on and it instantly makes me look like I've been sitting out in the sun for hours. It's also not sticky and doesn't have a smell, like some other self-tanners I've used.
JJ in South Carolina from Columbia, SC
I like this product enough that I would buy it again. The color is pretty good, and the formula dries fast and doesn't smell too bad. A lot of the color comes off in the shower afterward, but enough of it stays that it's worth it. I wish it came with its own application mitt. The good news is that it's a pretty large size and lasts a while. The color is a little bit splotchy/patchy at application.
