Whilst this product is very hydrating and leaves your skin feeling lovely, it also develops very patchy.
I wasn't a fan of the smell it left on my skin ( personal preference) I wouldn't buy this again.

I love this!! I bought it ages ago and you had to be really careful about applying too much in certain areas and what you wore when it hadn’t fully absorbed through fear of streaks etc. But I think they’ve improved the formula recently as I used it again a while ago and it makes a perfect natural tan and doesn’t matter what you wear it won’t streak anymore. Also the smell is divineee😍

If you didn’t have this as a teenager then where were you??? 😂 I do still love this and I love the smell. I find it gives a Natura tan and not at all streaky. Very moisturising too. I like to put it on under makeup sometimes and it gives a nice luminous glow.

Gives a very buildable natural tan, leaving skin soft and smells good. Only problem area I have with this is my legs (which are quite dry) after about a week it started breaking up and going patchy and no matter how evenly I applied it to the bottom of my legs and feet, I always got that god awful tan line at the bottom! I also live in tight jodhpurs in my work which didnt help the case with my legs as I then ended up with the seam lines tanned darker. Apart from that I was pleased with the rest of my body, just wash your hands after or you end up with orange hands (atleast you know it tans).

I'm fairly new to fake tan at home as normally get a spray tan, however I'm using a fake tan at home which I apply once a week & have started using this moisturiser daily. I love it. It gradually builds the tan & doesn't streak. It smells ok (I'm not keen on apricot but it's bearable) it leaves the skin well hydrated but does leave a slight sticky feel I find. It does slightly mark the sheets but it does say on the bottle that it can stain clothes. Overall tho I'm really impressed! I can see myself getting through an awful lot of this!

To be honest, I wasn't expecting this to tan as much as it did. As a body lotion it has a lovely smell and is easy to apply and leaves my skin really soft. However, I must be a bit slap-dash when applying as it does turn out streaky the next day every single time I use it! So as a body lotion I love it but not keen on the streakiness ( which is probably down to me though).

I use this product so much. I love the smell and the fact it doesn't streak. Not being the best fake tanner in the world i l like this as its gradual meaning it evens out over a couple of days even if i've missed a but leaving me with a lovely sunkissed look. I don't find it greasy at all. One tip, remember to wash your hands, otherwise you can end up with some very tanned fingers (shows it really does tan you though)

This product is very hydrating on the skin and is easy to apply with your fingers. It doesnt go patchy, streaky or dry and allows you to build it up gradually for a more intense look if you want. Its also a very decent price and you get a lot of product in the bottle. Another pro is that it smells nice and fresh aswell unlike instant or overnight tan, however, wouldnt reccomend if you want an instant dark tan for a night out as its gradual over a few weeks.

Smelt nicer than most tans, it was a bit greasy even after it had mostly soaked in. Make sure it is fully absorbed before putting clothes on or going to bed as it may go a bit streaky, but otherwise I quited like this product.
