Tanologist Firming Gradual Tan Lotion - 8.45 fl oz

I dont ever use self tanner but I wanted something to give me alittle glow during winter. It definitely works - it gives you that buildable glow. It does smell like coconuts when you first put it on but after the smell on your body gives thar tanning bed smell. But I can deal with it. Be careful over elbows, knees and ankles. Pretty much anywhere dry. I did exfoliate before use but it still sticks and changes dry areas to a slight fake tan orange look. Again not terrible - but it's alittlw noticeable. I will continue to use this.

I was pleasantly impressed by this impulse purchase. Coverage is not thick but not sheer, and dries very fast with a pleasant scent. Gradual realistic color began after 2 tries. And let's talk about the price point!

Smells amazing, almost like vanilla!!! Not sticky and leaves you tanner after one use. Don't think just buy hun.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The product was great, smelled great and worked well. The coverage was great with no streaking. The product being buildable but also natural looking was a plus.

I wanted to love this but that's not totally the case. It does work, however it does take a few days in my opinion to see any real change. My biggest complaint is that it smells like a spray tan. I am not a fan of how spray tans smell and how no matter what perfume you use you can't disguise the scent. If I wanted to smell like a spray tan I would just self tan that way which would be a lot faster. It is very hydrating and also easy to apply. Overall it does work but it depends what you're looking for. A spray tan would be quicker and easier but this is nice as an everyday use besides the smell.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this stuff. Works great on your skin and doesn't dry you out. You can use as much as you desire. Definitely works as stated. I will continue to use this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The scent was out of this world good and the absorption was on point without any steaks and it had a beautiful natural color added to my skin. I’m light skinned so this was great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Tanologist Firming Daily Glow Lotion in Medium/Dark has become a key player in my daily skincare routine, providing a gradual tan with added firming benefits. Here’s my experience with this innovative product: Application: ★★★★★ (5/5) The lotion is easy to apply, with a smooth and creamy texture that spreads evenly across the skin. It absorbs quickly, leaving no sticky residue, which is perfect for those who are always on the go. The gradual tanning effect makes it ideal for building a natural-looking tan over time without the fear of streaks or patches. Color: ★★★★★ (5/5) The Medium/Dark shade offers a beautiful, sun-kissed glow that looks natural and not at all orange. It’s perfect for achieving a subtle yet noticeable tan that can be deepened with daily use. The color develops evenly and can be built up to your desired intensity. Firming Benefits: ★★★★☆ (4/5) One of the standout features of this lotion is its firming properties. Infused with skin-loving ingredients, it helps to tone and tighten the skin, providing an added benefit beyond just tanning. While the firming effects are not as pronounced as some specialized firming products, there is a noticeable improvement in skin texture and elasticity with regular use. Formula: ★★★★☆ (4/5) The formula is enriched with hydrating ingredients that keep the skin moisturized and smooth. It’s also vegan and cruelty-free, which aligns with ethical beauty choices. The lotion has a mild scent, which is pleasant but can be slightly noticeable for those sensitive to fragrances. However, the scent dissipates fairly quickly. Longevity: ★★★★☆ (4/5) The tan develops gradually and lasts for several days, making it easy to maintain with regular application. For best results, it's important to exfoliate before the first application and to moisturize daily to ensure an even fade. Overall, Tanologist Firming Daily Glow Lotion in Medium/Dark is a fantastic option for those seeking a natural, gradual tan with added skin-firming benefits. Its easy application, beautiful color payoff, and hydrating formula make it a standout product. While the firming effects could be more pronounced and the scent might not be for everyone, the overall performance and convenience make it a valuable addition to any skincare routine.

Ok so, I'll admit before I bought this I knew literally nothing about self-tanning lotion, and I was highly sceptical. I am fairly pale, and don't really tan in the sun, so I bought the medium to dark lotion in the hope that I'd get darker faster. And HOLY MOLY it actually works! I have literally applied this three times, and I am noticeably darker than I was in the beginning of the week. Not orange at all, but actually tan. It starts to kick in only an hour or so after I apply it, and keeps working the rest of the day. And the best part of all: it doesn't damage your skin! I will say though, just be careful to not apply too much in one area, because it can create slightly darker patches on your skin. Other than that 10/10 recommend. It also smells really good and leaves my skin silky smooth afterwards.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The tan was splotchy and uneven. Also, way too dark for first use. It comes in a large size but I would not recommend it. Maybe the lighter shade is better.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loved this product, I am always worried these are going to be greasy but this was super easy to use and I was satisfied with the results, a good even color.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so glad I finally tried these drops! I typically just tan my face and neck during the fall/winter. This is so perfect to mix in 2-3 drops with my moisturizer every other night. It is not sticky and does not transfer to my (satin) pillowcase and I have never once smelled the tanning smell. The other comments mentioning the smell has not been my experience at all. Too much will give an orange look and become very patchy when it starts wearing off, so thin layers (minimal drops) is ideal. I really do love this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] will definitely continue using this. when applying, goes on evenly and does not leave streaks. Even the scent is good compared to tiger self tanners.Overall, recommend to try!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am really impressed with this product. The tan it gives you is very natural looking and was not orange at all. It was also very moisturizing which was a nice bonus! I also love that it did not have a bad smell like some of them do! It actually smells good!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect “lotion.” Not greasy, very moisturizing! Loved the natural glow it gave me unlike other tanning solutions I’ve tried which left me orange! Highly recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product works alright I would say. It has a strange scent to it, but otherwise it does give your skin a bit more of a tanned look to it and lasts until you take your next shower.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first thing I noticed was how good this product smells. This is a really gradual, natural looking product. It applies really easily and absorbs pretty quickly. I wash my hands right after and haven’t had any issues with staining or anything. Not streaky. I only used it on the lower half of my legs so far but excited to try it elsewhere.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved this I feel like it gave me a subtle tan! I also like that you don’t have wash it off or have to worry about it turning orange on your skin. It also makes you glow.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This lotion smells fantastic! I love how well this worked over time! I thought I would turn orange from using it but I didn’t. Gives a nice glow! Would highly recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don’t self tan often. When I do I usually use a product that has color when applied so I can see where its going. Since this lotion goes on clear its hard to see where its going. In the future I will use this product without the drops and use it every other day or so to keep up with a tan. Other than it being hard to see where it’s applied it smells great and leaves a great color!
