I really like the smell of this, and I find its even a pretty decent moisturizer, however I don't really notice a difference in color yet. I bought it a while back, used it a few times, got impatient with it and tossed it aside. I'm going to try it again and commit to it this time, because I'm really hoping it works.

I love this tanner. It gave me a really dark tan and it smells great. The tan is so natural looking. No orange color. I think it's a great value. The tan was also long lasting on me. It's better than many more expensive tanners I've tried.

This is the only sunless tanner I can use, and I've been through them all. Doesn't turn me orange, application is foolproof (doesn't get splotchy or streaky) and it smells great! It's buildable over a few days, then I find I just reach a kind of plateau where I don't get any darker, but I just use this in the winter when I'm looking for a touch of subtle color (I get pretty darn pale- NC15 looks dark on my skin by the end of winter), and it does the trick! I have both the body lotion and the face lotion, and they both work really well and don't have that 'burnt' smell that some tanning lotions tend to when they come in contact with skin. It's also a pretty decent moisturizer, which is nice for winter use. I've repurchased numerous times, and will continue to as long as I can find it!

This review is not for the overnight touch of sun, just the regular. I usually purchase fair-medium as I am quite pale and have not really been pleased with any self tanner I have used. I picked up a bottle of the self tanner in a medium/dark skin tone just to see what happens. Not only did I love this self tanner cuz the smell was great but the coloring was also great. Very natural looking and I am very pale. I tend to use it for about 3 days, which gives me a nice healthy glow, then give myself a day or so break,, cuz I don't want it to get too orangy. So far, so good. I had someone ask me if I was "tanning" the other day at work. I had to laugh when they asked me that! So far, this is the best self tanner I have found.

The color payoff isn't great, but it does have the color chart on the tube, so I wasn't expecting much. Overall it gives a decent color ( light brown ) and suits my needs. I'm not interested in looking like a bronze goddess ( looks fine on others ), because I like to keep my face more on the light-medium color range. The price is around $6.50-$7.00 and it doesn't have that strong, funk smell that most self-tanners have. Can't rate how well it moisturizes, because my skin needs additional moisturizing - always. I probally won't purchase again, but it was a nice change!


By the way, I bought the light/medium skin tones formula.

This review is for the Touch of Sun facial moisturizer with SPF 20, for Fair complexions. (not the "overnight" product.)
This product has given me a great summery glow that doesn't look fake on my fair but rosey complexion. I use it every day and I still haven't gotten a fake tan look, just like I have some "healthy color."
I love that it has SPF in it and it hasn't broken me out either (and I can at times be prone to breakouts.) Never noticed any unpleasant smell either.

i bought this in med/ dark after seeing the reviews also mainly because it didnt contain mineral oil and in 2 apps i am DARK and i mean DARK i love this stuff soo much !! i do need to find a facial product also it doesnt turn my face and neck so i am white on the face and neck which is corrected with foundation *UPDATE* After using this product four days outta 7 my friends said i had a orangey yellow glow that looked overly fake but some of my other friends said i didnt . personally i dont really think i do but mind you most of my friends are pretty pale so any one with a hint of color looks overly tan to them

I think this stuff is GREAT. I used it nightly on my super white legs for three nights in a row and today my legs are tan enough to wear capris without being embarassed! This is not meant to get you dark right away like regular self tanner. I like using it on my legs b/c I typically don't show them that much and therefore don't want to waste my more expensive self tanners on them. I used the medium/dark color and like I said, my legs are really white. It gave me just the right amount of color and I plan on using it all this summer!

I bought this product a while ago, and used it for about two weeks before giving up with it. It didn't make a difference in my colour and the smell as very strong (not a bad smell, but definitely not discreet). I tried it again this past week, and again I am disappointed. It didn't make a difference anywhere except for one spot on my arm, where it went dark brown in a little clump. had to scrub the skin off to get the ugly spot to go away. Could be because I bought the medium shade, but it was really weird. Overall didn't like it at all, and it took a fairly long time to dry and leaves me with a sticky feeling after.

One lippy gone only cause I personally I don't like waiting for it to dry and it takes me FOREVER to apply... I love the smell its very relaxing which is good because it helps me fall asleep :) I really really really like how it moisturizes!!! My skin is so soft and smooth :D I'm not an avid user because i'm lazy so I haven't been able to see colour changes yet. BUT I PROMISE THIS TIME I WILL USE IT EVERYDAY and update later! But from what other reviewers have said it bronzes nicely!

I was shopping around for new self-tanner the other day because I threw all of my old ones away and wanted to try something new.I came across the Olay Touch of Sun lotion.(it isnt the overnight one) It was cheaper than the other lotions ($5.50 CND), so I decided to test it out.
I've been using this lotion for 2 days so far and Im already noticing a nice bronze colour slowly developing.I also noticed that there is no horrible self-tanner smell!I usually wake up with my pjs and bed sheets smelling awful after using self-tanner, but I didnt notice any smell at all.
I've used Jergens, Vaseline, and other self-tanners but this is by far the best one I've used and will continue using it :)
I'll let you guys know how my results turned out after a week of using it =)

I LOVE THIS PRODUCT! I've tried sooo many self tanners and almost all of the 'gradual moisterizers'. This is by far one of the best out there. First off, I have sensitive skin. Products with oil cause breakouts on me and when I used all these self-tanners loaded with oils my back would break out. This product is oil-free! The smell is great. It smells like lavender. So many tanners smell awful and are so strong that everyone knows you have it on. This one dries well. It doesn't leave you feeling greasy. I've tried both the light-medium and the medium dark. I'm very pale. I find the medium-dark is fine for me to use. After 2 application I have an amazing glow. It's not orange and super believable. After 2 apps I can maintain with light-medium.

I love this stuff!! I find that it is hard to find, but Walmart had it cheapest at $6.74.

That is also one of the cheaper self-tanners out there!

I loved this stuff! I also used the daytime one and it really gave me a nice glow all year round. I don't know if they still make this overnight one though cuz I can't find it anywhere in California!! Why do I always like the stuff that get discontinued???

best sunless tanner out there - hands down! I have tried SOOOO many tanners and I absolutely LOVE this stuff. No streaking, no lingering smell, no uneven fading, no high-end prices! The packaging is great because you don't waste any! I honestly don't think I can say a negative thing about this stuff. I buy it in the medium/dark skin tone, and it comes out a nice bronzed colour - not orange at all. I've strayed away from this stuff before because of other brands being on sale, but I always come right back. :)

i've tried other self-tanners and out of all the ones i have tried this is the best. there isn't much of a smell and the colour stays on without streaking. i use it mostly during the summer. now that's its winter i haven't touched it in awhile. it made my legs look really radiant and healthy.

Good self tanner. Other products have a very unpleasant smell, this one is just fine and does not leave streaks on my legs.

I've tried many self tanners and all of them have left me streaked, smelly and orange. With this there's no streak, no orange hands and only a hint of smell. Very moisturizing as well. Reasonably priced. I'm not a fan of the bottle- I wish there was a pump. It's a PITA to squeeze lotion out when you have lotion on your hands already.

The closest I have ever come to considering a self tanner HG.
Although it's not a cure for my #1 reason for hating ST's [peeling skin w/in 2 days if I don't manage to exfoliate after/looking like I have vitiligo] it's a cure for any other gripe.

It smells lovely, soapy, fresh and very Olay like. It doesn't stain clothes or sheets. Dries w/in 5 min for me. Gives me a believable bronze in 3 days of app and lasts about 5 days. Really moisturizes without stickiness. No streaks, no orange palms. No need to exfoliate even! I even use it on my face and it has never irritated me or caused a single zit.

Thank the lord it's so cheap cause I run out of this so quickly w/ my obsessive use.

God what am I thinking, how can this not be an HG
........Wait, it could be in a spray so I could reach every part of my back.

I received this as a gift from someone who doesn't have a need for ST (I jumped on it - all I use are ST's). She got it on clearance at Target. However she gave me the Medium/Dark skin toned one...so I am obviously reviewing that one. I did put it on a night, let it sink in until dry (which was about 10 minutes) and went off to bed. I noticed NO bad smell whatsoever and in fact it smelled kind of nice ~ almost a relaxing scent. I woke up the first day and didn't see too much of a difference. The second day I had a nice glow. The third day (this morning) and I have a deeper, sexier glow which I am actually quite amazed at. Non streaky although I didn't watch it around my knees (yikes!). I didn't even exfoliate beforehand and it went on even (okay well, except for my knees but that was my fault!). It is a darn good moisturizer as well. I am probably going to hold off on applying it for a day or two as I have a feeling it may not match my skin tone if I apply it nightly (I have fair-medium skin with pinky undertones). All in all I give this a 5 as it does all it says it should do. However I admit my despair when I realized it is on clearance...maybe they aren't D/C'ing it but wouldn't that would just be my luck? Recommended and will repurchase.
