So far I'm liking this. I use a sponge to apply and am only using it on my face. I've used it a total of three times a few days apart. This morning I noticed I need to put a bit on my eye lids too!! I worry a bit about blending down into my neck because I don't want streaks. I don't notice any smell but then I use so little since I'm not doing a big area. I DO know I will use it in the winter as I'm tired of looking like a ghost!!!

I bought this to get a little color before summer (no one wants to see paper white legs in shorts or swimsuits!). I've been using this for a few days now and absolutely love it. I already see a difference in the color and the scent isn't too bad. I actually rather like it. Those of you having issues with the scent, maybe you're using soap/body wash that doesn't exactly go well with that of natural glow. Will definitely be getting this again to keep my tan evened out during summer!

I really like this product! I use it every night after exfoliating my face (make sure to exfoliate before applying any tanner) and in the morning I notice a difference! It gives very natural color and does give a "glow" the only reason I gave it a 4 out of 5 is because it makes my face kind of oily (why I don't use it in mornings, so not to make me look shiny) and because of the smell. In my opinion it doesn't smell bad but it is overpowering, it is kind of a mix of sunscreen and something else. Pros: natural color, "glow", doesn't make me break out Cons: overpowering smell, makes my face oily Overall I am impressed with this product and will definitely be repurchasing! I need to get a tan since its spring now and I don't want to damage my skin in the sun!

Product did everything it claimed it would well, BUT it makes you absolutely stink! I had numerous people come up to me and tell me I stunk. It worked well in giving me a gradual colour but after a week the smell was unbearable and I had to stop using the product.... If you don't mind smelling the product is a perfect fit ;)

I like this a lot & will buy again as soon as I run out of this one. I'm pretty tan for being Korean but the lotion immediately evened the skin tones of my legs, arms, and stomach. SO glad I started using it before prom & spring break cause everything looks even & evens my awful tan lines from track meets. It's not a self tanner, more like a foundation for your body. But it does smell kinda bad

This product seems to have improved dramatically since I used it 2 or 3 years ago. It claims to no longer have a bad odor, but after a few hours it starts to have a slight odor, but it's tolerable. I apply this right after I get out of the shower. After a week of daily use, the color is mostly even. I'm thinking I may try this in conjunction with tanning during the summer to have a more even color. ***** I also make sure to exfoliate my body 2xs a week. The pigment will stick to any dry patches!!*****

I started using this so I didn't have to tan my face because it seems to never get darker. It's great after two days of applying I got a nice color to my face. I don't even have to wear foundation or bb cream anymore. I've had compliments on my skin tone and I've only been using it for a week. I don't look orange just healthy and tan. So happy with it! And it smells awesome, my boyfriend always tells me I smell great after using it. I love this stuff! I'm half Mexican and use the fair to medium and it gives me enough color.

This absorbed quickly into my skin, didn't have an overpowering smell and wasn't any more messy than applying a regular moisturizer. The only downside for me was the fact that the next morning I had some whiteheads on my chest and shoulders. My skin is sensitive and didn't take kindly to this moisturizer. Too bad, it was promising. :/

This is one of the best "gradual" tanners on the market. I think a lot of the low reviews are from people who are using it completely wrong. Yes it's a gradual tanner, but that doesnt mean you should just slap it on and not pay attention to your strokes or overall coverage. Also if you put too much on, OF COURSE you're going to get funky lines. Just put on a light application every day or every other day & you will end up with a real looking base color. Should be w/out saying, but make sure you have exfoliated your skin before applying ANY self tanner. This product goes on sale all the time & you can find coupons for it as well. I've never paid more than $6 for the large tube.

This stuff is a complete waste of $$.Streaks,Fades unevenly,too dark in spots, white in others.When fading you actually look "dirty" The size of the bottle has only 2 or 3 uses at BEST.And for $11-$15 I think it's not worth it.Some people have had an OK experience, but mine was not.

I tried this one time and deposited this product directly into the garbage. I got the lightest shade I could find as I am very pale, but even so the color came out orange and streaky. It was horrible. There was nothing natural about the result. Thank God I tried it on my legs instead of somewhere more visible. I definitely will not repurchase.

Don't let the 'new' formula fool you. I was finally excited about this product. I used it years ago and I liked the build able color that I didn't have to be concerned about streaking with but the smell was horrible! So you can imagine how happy I was to try the new 'scentless' formula. I became even more excited when it really didn't have much of a scent...at first. Give it an hour and the scent is almost more unbearable than the original! So disappointing :/ I think it's time to go for some higher priced products that truly don't smell

For me this product was just horrible, i wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Its very smelly and left orange streaks on my face. It actually stained the skin on one side of my neck orange. The worst thing i ever bought.

When I worked at a tanning salon, I needed to stay tan, so after I got a good base tan from the tanning bed or got a spray tan I would use this to fill in any light patches. It really evens out my skin tone. I also used this alone before my wedding, and my before-pale skin was a gorgeous bronzy shade (not orangey bronze). The only con is the smell. It smells awful, but it is worth it if u want to be tan without the tanning bed. Just use at night so you're not stinky all day and make sure u shower in the morning to get the smell off!

Smell isn't bad as I have read in some reviews.
This product doesn't work too well for my skin tone and makes me really orange. If you have the right skin tone it would be great.

I tried this over the summer hoping for a nice, subtle tan on my NW15 skin, which is hard to do because most self-tanners look ridiculous on me. But I read the reviews and went out and bought it.. And oh my god no. It is FULL of sparkles!! There are sparkles EVERYWHERE in this product. It doesn't look natural at all! And then the color... Not for me. Maybe if you are a warm skin tone it would work better, but on me it looked yellow and gross. More like my skin was yellowing than a subtle tan. I didn't like this at all. My recommendation: It worked for a lot of people, so try it, but don't try it on your whole body. Maybe try it on a patch of skin to see if the color looks good on you, because I tried it on my whole body and regretted it. It's cheap though, so at least if you hate it, you can return it.....

I see a lot of people ranting and raving on this product but I personally HATED IT!!! It is advertised to give you a subtle glow after a few days. Within a few hours I had huge splotchy golden/orange spots all over my arms. I didn't have a base tan and it really looked like I contracted a nasty disease instead of looking tan!! In my opinion, don't waste your money on this product!

I like using Natural Glow on my arms and legs after I shower. It is light and doesn't leave a residue, which is great since I typically am rushing off to work after I shower. I consider myself to be pretty pale, and I always say this helps me to not be so "transparent" during the winter months when I am at my lightest haha.
I use thicker and more moisturizing lotions before bed because I don't mind them being a little mroe greasy if I am going to be in the house.. so Natural Glow works great for the day time for me.
