I am reviewing the Australian Gold spray gel sunscreen with SPF 15 with the instant bronzer. I absolutely love this product for tanning outdoors. It really does absorb fast and leaves my skin moisturized, soft, clean, and not sticky at all. I've used the banana boat tanning oil before this, and the AG one is soooo clean and hassle-free compared to banana boat! It's super simple to use, just squirt a few sprays on your body and rub it in with your hands, and there's no oily mess to clean up after. I do notice a *very* slight bronzing effect from it. It smells amazing too. At first, when you first spray it out, it smells exactly like bubble gum, but after you rub it in, it smells like coconut. I tanned outside for about an hour and a half, and I didn't burn at all. My tan came out even and darker than if I'd just laid out with sunscreen only. I would definitely repurchase this. Found it at my local target for $8.99.

I've been using this tanning lotion for years. The smell is to die for! It's coconuts mixed with tropical stuff. It tans my skin very well, & stays on for a long time. Doesn't really protect you from the sun. I use a normal sunscreen with a high spf underneath this for added protection. This lotion is very moisturizing. I love it. I highly reccommend:) continued >>

"Would you buy this product again?" Oh, hell yeah! I bought the SPF 15 version with instant bronzer. It smells lovely (think fruity coconut), color is natural, dries super fast and gives a smooth coverage due to the continuous spray and lightly moisturizes. I think my favorite part is the application, just mist and go - easy! Plus, it was under $12 USD at Walgreens; great color, great smell, easy to use, great price and convenient location; what's not to love? HG status!

I found Australian Gold a few years ago on a beach trip, and I bought a bottle and used it during the whole trip. I absolutely loved it! I got SPF 15 with instant bronzer, and I used it every day. I didn't burn, and I even tanned a little. The scent is wonderful, so I even put it on as a lotion sometimes just because I loved the smell. I bought another bottle before I left, because I knew I'd have a hard time finding it back home. I was in my local Wal-Mart the other day and I found AG products there, and I jumped for joy! I'll definitely be using this product over and over again.

I'm reviewing the SPF 15 sunscreen with instant bronzer under this brand. They have a few versions, gel, lotion and continuous spray, which is the one I'm using. It was recommended to me by a friend who uses it, and she looks great. So far I've only found it at Walgreens, which is a pity but at least they have the entire line in store and a few online. This has an orange flower type of scent (I guess, I know it's orange, anyway!) that doesn't turn into that dreaded spoiled-rotten pumpkin smell most self tanners and bronzers have, so I'm not sure if this even falls under the self-tanner category. What it seems to do is act as a sunscreen and tan developer, although I'm not quite sure on that. All I know is that I've used this, it works great as a sunscreen and the next day I had a nicely developed tan as well, with no streaking, no smell, no orange tint, no shimmer, and no rubbing off on my swimsuit, towels or anything else. It is also waterproof and sweatproof for the 80 minutes they claim and although it is a little sticky after you first apply (20 minutes before going outside, as the bottle instructed), it's not unbearable and once I was outside I didn't notice it. The greatest thing about this is that it's an all-inclusive product, sunscreen (anywhere from SPF 4 to 30 or higher, depending on the product) and bronzer all in one which eliminates the need for me to use two or three different products to achieve the same effect. It runs between $8 and $12 depending on sales (I got it for $7.99 with a free tan-preserving lotion I haven't tried yet) and if it continues to perform as well as it already has, I'll continue to buy it. I think the only complaint I have is that the cap on mine snapped off so I had to be careful not to lose it and/or to be sure it was on securely before spraying. My fault though, for just grabbing a can and going to the register, without checking to see if it was intact beforehand.
