    I loved the natural brown tone this product gave my winter white legs. Very natural and non-orange. There is a smell like all self-tanners have, but it wasn't annoying. The problem I had was...

    I find it ironic that in Paula's "Don't go to the Makeup counter without me" book (from about 5 years ago) she wrote that all sunless tanners were the same. Now she has come out with the best...

    This is a great self tanner for the body. It provides a natural bronze color with only one application. Unfortunately, this product broke me out on my face and neck, and I do not consider myself...

    This gel caused me to break out in a rash of small (but brown!) bumps on my arms, neck, everywhere I used it. I love PC products - this is the only skin care that I had trouble with, but all of the...

    Lovely lovely self tanner! It gives a very natural tan and is easy even for novices like myself. I had a pretty glow for almost a week and friends asked if I'd been tanning :P <br>The only drawback...

    This is the best self tanner ever. A truly great product. It even beats out my previous fave, Clarins! The consistency of this stuff is great, a tinted gel that applies smoothly. I got a golden...

    This is one of the best self tanners I have ever tried. Gives a beautiful bronzed glow, does not smell bad (most do) and is very cheap for the huge bottle that u get. Will definitely buy again.

    Phenom! Great color, and it does not break me out on my face! ...ok, so it doesn't smell too hot, but a fragrance additive would probably irritate skin of worse - cause breakouts, so I'll live!...

    I used this self-tanner once while on my beach vacation, and twice during the week that's passed since I got home. It delivers a nice golden-brown color without any orange, and looks realistic on...

    So far this is the best self tanner that i have tried. It went on evenly and gave my naturally pale skin a believable tan shade. I would definately recommend this self tanner.
