This product is awesome, it is by far the best self tanner I have ever tried. I LOVE being tanned, and I used to tan all the time but quit because I worried about the effects of real tanning. So I...

I absolutely love and adore this product. Clarins is the best in self tanning and bronzer products. I have used the liquid tanner and loved it. This one is even better. My skin picks up the...

I love this product. I use it primarily on my face, so a tube lasts a long time. Being a gel, it's so light and absorbs quickly and evenly. I've tried so many cream tanners that just feel heavy...

Really really great product. I was a bit sceptical at first because I seem to remember having a bad run-in with a Clarins self tanner once, which left me livid because of the horrific price. But,...

Can't believe I've never reviewed this before! Used to use this (my first expensive self-tanner ever....was in HK and couldn't find anything else). I am switching back to this regardless of the...

I feel I should write a review on this product, as this is what lead me to discover MUA. A couple years ago I was trying to find the best self tanner out there, and I ran across MUA. After reading...

Finally someone got this self-tanner thing right! This gives me a soft healthy glow with no signs of streaking or oranging. My HG tanning product.

Love, love, love this self-bronzer!! I am very pale, so I've used many, mostly drugstore brands. This one is the best by far. Gives a golden- not orange- glow, easy to spread evenly, soaks into...

Nice stuff. The only other self-tanners I've tried have been the gradual, lotion-based ones like Jurgens. This is MUCH better. The effect is very subtle, though. It DOES leave your skin so soft!

I love this self tanner. I have tried many self tanners that range from way more expensive to much less expensive than this one and this is by far my favorite. Yes, you do have to do a couple...

I love this self-tanner. The color is believeable, and is easily darkened by each application. I have had only one issue with streaking, but that is because I didn't exfoliate before I put it on....

This is the best self tanner that I have ever used. The color is beautiful, a rich golden brown - not a hint of orange. The consistency of this is like a really smooth serum - it makes it very...

I got this because Sephora was out of St. Tropez (which I have yet to try), so I got this as so many people recommend it. I don't really have strong feelings on it one way or the other. It did...
